Chapter 106 - Business With Elijah (1/2)

A man was walking down the street, however, his movements were pretty suspicious because he kept looking over his shoulder as if he was trying to discern if he was being followed.

He continued his lookout; walking the streets in circles two times and after confirming that he wasn't being followed, branched off into an alleyway that led him into an uncompleted building.

This man was no other than Jeremy, the young man who had shown that video to Kenith earlier in the day. If one took a good look at him now, you would notice that he looked flushed and kept pacing up and down the building anxiously.

”Why isn't he coming?” He murmured, irritably. Jeremy had bloodshot eyes and he kept scratching his arms as if it was itching him.

”Please come,” Jeremy was in the middle of a breakdown and his gaze roved over the place trying to confirm if he was indeed in the right place.

Almost immediately, a man stepped out of the shadows. This man was no other than Elijah who had been hiding and observing Jeremy and his surroundings, trying to see if the idiot had betrayed him or attracted unnecessary attention.

”You're here,” Elijah announced his presence and Jeremy turned to him, his gaze lighting up as if he had seen his messiah.

However, his mood changed at the same time and he raised his voice on Elijah, ”You kept me waiting,”

Elijah raised his brows in question, his expression suddenly dark, ”That was disrespectful,”

At once, Jeremy gulped and lowered his head in fear knowing what Elijah was capable of. However, the craving inside of him needed to be satisfied so he said meekly instead, ”I'm sorry, sir, it's just that I cannot endure anymore. I need it now,” He pleaded desperately.

”Sure, you would get it,” Elijah said and as if he was teasing him, lifted a small waterproof pouch that was full of a white substance.

The instant Jeremy saw it, his eyes widened and he literally salivated the way dogs do.

He didn't even know when he took a step forward only for Elijah to stop him in his tracks.

”A-ah, you are not getting this until I get what I want,” He told him.

Jeremy growled at him, ”But I already informed Big Joe of Arianna's return as you wanted! What else again?!” He didn't mean to shout but he couldn't help it. He could barely concentrate and had to hold his palm because of the tremors.

”Tell me more,” Elijah wanted more updates.

”I don't have any,” Jeremy said but he was a bad liar seeing he couldn't look Elijah in the eyes, or perhaps, it was his addictions acting up.

Elijah chuckled, fishing for information, ”Oh, we both know you know more than you're letting out,”
