DOUBLE CROSS

Chapter 12

"Are you going there now?" Franklin asked, Damon sighed for if only he has a chance of not going there, he won't.

Those people, they will never even give a benefit of him but he has to waste time of going there to meet and talk to these people who are so much entitled. They knew for fact his capability and still they were trying to pissed him off. He don't want it when someone would try to stepped in in hsi work. He wants everything happened and done peacefully for everything in peace matters.

"If only I have a choice I will never waste my time going there for I don't mind them making a chaos about me inside the underground but the outside world is different, Franklin and these people needs to given an attention and I will give them what they want," he responded and grabbed his car key to find his exit in his own house to go to the underground.

From the side mirror after he went inside his car's driver's seat, he saw Franklin entered his own car as well. He smirked with the thought of fact that he knew Franklin would surely follow them there. He then started the engine and didn't waste a second and immediately drove his way towards the place where those people that he needs to be tamed are.

It didn't take too long for him to reach the exact location of the underground, with no emotion and the signature serious eyes of the certain X of the underground was again being seen. He was wearing a half mask that only shows his eyes, he don't mind taking it off when the people that are there are those he only allowed to see who the heck was X behind this half mask.

His face wasn't that secret, he just want some peace around and all. While walking towards the certain room where he usually held a meeting with those investors that wants to talk to him, some small members of the underground even gave the way. He knew that Franklin was following him but he didn't bother to look back at his friend for the atmosphere in between the two of them will surely be changed when they were back outside the premises of this place.

Everyone gasped when they saw him opened the closed exclusive door, he then searched the face of Mr. Del Pilar and in less that 5 seconds he spotted the headache wannabe.

"Ha! good thing that you are here, X," the young, well, that man was obviously younger than him. "You might not know me, Mr. X, let me introduce myself to you, I am Mr. Del Pilar's nephew and I am here to accompany him to make you give his company back to his name and everything."

He raised his brow for he found that young man kind off acting like a coward gay that only knows threatened and even sounded like a kid who needs a special guidance of his parents or even so. Plus, who are these people think they were facing.

He smirked and glanced to Mr. Del Pilar who are looking at him like he was ready to take his life right in this moment. Damn this old man thinking he was a big deal.

"And you are telling me that, because?" He asked the kid wearing the smile of calmness.

On the other hand, Franklin was just leaning his back at the wall and he can see that from his peripheral view. It wasn't the first time that he found that asshole of a friend just listening and watching him having a game with stupid people like these people in front of him.

"Because I want you to give the company back to my uncle. You all have the money, Mr. X, why would you take other people's company?" The kid responded and that only made him chuckled for he found that funny.

"You know kid, I can see that you are smart and all, but there are some things that you are still lack to understand. First, you are correct, I have the money and I can start over anytime I want. Second, I have connections, yes. Third, I am powerful, those are fact, yes. But I have my own personal reason why I need a long time established business and company and I am not telling you my reason," he seriously said trying his best to make these people understand.

He then look at the old man, Mr. Del Pilar, "and besides, I didn't take your company for free, Mr. Del Pilar, I do not know your agenda of making a chaos here exactly in this place and trying to ruin my name. You all know how much I hate it when somebody tried to bring my name in a commotion. Mr. Del Pilar, you won't like it when I turn back the company into your name," Damon said that made the certain Mr. Del Pilar stood up from his seat with that wide eyes looking at him like he was saying some joke.

"What do you mean?" The old man asked in a very hard tone.

Damon saw Franklin stood up beside him and he knew this asshole is going to the the chance of answering that freaking question.

"That only means, you losing the company was just losing the company but if you lost the protection of X, that means losing a life as well, you are lucky if the life of the people around you will never be touched, and you know for fact that that was the most impossible part," Franklin uttered that made these people gasped and gossip.

They were acting like they couldn't believe the thing that they just heard, when from the very beginning the knew how risk of life it is coming to X and ask his protection. It was never that easy for everything about X's protection were never free.

"Are you f*cking threatening me?" The old man slammed the table yelling in anger and was looking at him with disbelief.

"It's not a threat, Mr. Del Pilar, it was pure fact. You have your options placed on the table, choose your bet and the rest will happen. "
