30 Mariotte 4 (1/2)

”Ci-ci Bell?” Abram frowned before a sudden realization came over him, causing his eyes to narrow. ”Why are you here?”

Ci-ci strolled forward, lazily reclining into an untouched couch. ”You broke into my leader's apartment and ransacked my place of work, why wouldn't I be here?”

”Broke into?...” Abram's gaze shifted toward the burly man who was telling him about a ”surprise” he had for him earlier.

The burly man turned, pretending not to notice Abram's questioning look at all.

”I'll deal with you later.” Abram also went back to his seat before turning toward Ci-ci. ”What do you want?”

With the anticipation of Milana possibly coming gone, Abram had sunk back into his usual demeanor.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. A mere inventor wanted to apply pressure on him? They lived with their life on the line every day, they were the soldiers of the streets, wasn't this man afraid that he'd die without a corpse coming here?

However, when Abram trained a sharp eye on Ci-ci, he immediately felt that this man wasn't so simple. Although his subordinates might not feel it, he was being groomed to be the next leader of their gang, his senses were far sharper than normal, and his demeanor wasn't any inferior to a young man from a prominent family.

'He smells like he has power.' Abram thought.

Despite Ci-ci's leisurely expression, he was also quite serious inwardly. The imposing aura of The Russians definitely wasn't just for show.

”What else could I want if not an explanation?” Ci-ci said with a smile. ”I'd like to know why you think my Petrov Technologies is easy to bully and why it is that you're so shameless as to pursue a woman in a relationship? Even to the point of placing cameras in her home?”

The longer Ci-ci spoke, the fiercer his voice and anger became. In the end, he threw out eight broken devices, allowing them to fall to the floor and land at Abram's feet.

Ci-ci didn't miss the stunned look on Abram's face, but just because Abram wasn't aware of what happened, doesn't mean Ci-ci would let it go so easily.

Under normal circumstances, it was quite a leap for Ci-ci to assume that the same group that attacked Petrov Technologies was the very same one that invaded Milana's privacy. However, he had done a lot of research before he landed on Petrov Technologies as his destination. He was quite aware of the dealings Kazimir had and was also aware that one of the pillar families of The Russians was the Latka family.

After knowing that, the rest was obvious.

Abram's expression turned from surprised to cold indifference. Even if one of his men made a mistake, it wasn't Ci-ci's place to reprimand them. The prestige of their gang should never be questioned.

”And what are you going to do about it?” Abram sneered.
