Chapter 996 - King investigates Chaos (2/2)

”What about Sarah?” King knows that her arm is permanently damaged, but that does not mean that she is not angry.

”She is at home. Ever since they returned from the hospital, other than trips she takes with JoAnna, she stays home and takes care of Aiden White. They hired a full time nurse who is staying at their home. Few photos we obtained show that Sarah's left arm didn't recover.” Ivan placed several photos on the desk from the folder in his hands.

”What about Voronins?” As much as King is treating Milena as a number one suspect, his men are investigating others as well. And Voronins are always suspected of acting against Lebedevs.

”Our sources from Russia say that their core members are under alert. It appears that the army of Chaos is attacking them as well.”

King leaned back in his chair and started thinking… So, it's not only them, but Voronins as well? Maybe this army of Chaos is not targeting them specifically, but it's cleaning the field so that they can take over Los Angeles? Are other organizations under attack? They should investigate this.

Huh, that army of Chaos already has Los Angeles and surrounding cities in their control, and they are expanding… soon they will own the whole Southern California! That must be a large army if they are having such a strong defense and expanding at the same time. How can an organization with so many members suddenly appear out of nowhere, and they are not able to get any useful information on them? The rumors are outrageous. There is no way he is going to believe in that… a female with glowing red eyes… yeah, right. The only thing missing are aliens.

”Should we alert our core members as well?”, Ivan's question interrupted King's thoughts.

King nodded. ”Tell them to keep an eye on Voronins. Let's avoid a scenario where they take advantage of the situation and grab what is ours. There is a possibility that they are the ones behind all this… Assign extra people into finding out who is pulling strings of this Chaos army. They are too organized. At this rate, we will lose California within weeks…”

”This arrived this morning.”, Ivan placed a printout in front of King.

King read it and snorted. ”Elders found about the situation?”

Ivan nodded. ”They are requesting you to go back and to meet in person.”

An amused smirk danced on King's face. ”In person? Are they considering to replace me?”

”I don't have that information.” Ivan took a step back after responding. King is (almost) smiling, that can't be a good thing. He is the most dangerous when he is smiling.

King pushed the paper back to Ivan. ”Delay them. I want to find out about this new organization before meeting with Elders. And contact Milena.”

Ivan was surprised by King's request. ”Do you think that she will talk to you?”

”It's in her interest that I stay in charge of overseeing North America.”

Ivan looked at the paper which has a notice that he should return to Eastern Europe for an emergency meeting. ”You can just go to the meeting and wipe them out.”

King chuckled. ”Yes, I can. But where is the fun in that? Life will be boring if we remove everyone who is in our way.”

Ivan headed out of the office and King stopped him: ”Tell those three that if they don't find anything useful within a week, I will go there by myself to investigate… and if it comes to that, their services will not be necessary.”

Ivan paused. ”Do you really plan to go…?”

”Of course, not.”, King cut him off impatiently. ”My presence is not necessary. But I will get rid of them. They have one week.”

Ivan nodded and exited the room. He exhaled. This went better than expected considering that they just dumped number of bad news at King. But those three are in trouble. If they don't produce results soon, King will dispose of them.
