Chapter 19 Shadow Mercenaries (1/2)
Alex was finally able to leave Rachel's house, around eight o'clock. The family wouldn't let him go, and kept on asking him weird questions, like what kind of girl he likes, what type of food he prefers eating, what music he likes listening to and other such nonsensical questions.
While walking home Alex started thinking about the bits of information he got while they were having dinner. Kumiko the wife of Instructor Dan, wishes that his death was just a joke and he would suddenly appear before her smiling that wacky grin of his.
The three brothers of Rachel respect their father very much, and never believed that he was dead. The three always thought that their father had just gotten into a much worse battlefield training his techniques to perfection, that's why he wasn't able to contact them. If he ever returns the three would want to show their father the improvements they made while he was gone.
The only one who felt differently from the other members of the family was Rachel. She doesn't want anything to do with by her own words her deadbeat father. She hates her father so much that, she refused to continue practicing their martial art. Even if he was alive and returns home she might not forgive him.
...
Alex after returning home, headed straight to his dad's study. The moment he entered Alex saw that his dad was talking on the phone. When Carlo spotted Alex he ended the call immediately.
”Alex report everything regarding today's events.”
”Sir, Yes, Sir!” Alex saluted and recounted today's events. Starting from his meeting with Oliver until his dinner with Rachel's family.
When Carlo heard Alex's report he was silent for a moment. Carlo was contemplating on how to deal with Dan and his family, but what worried him even more was the so called Shadow Mercenaries. This James codenamed Oliver wanted to meet him, yet Carlo knew nothing of this so called Shadow Mercenaries. If Carlo meets Oliver right now without any information in regards to Oliver and his organization he wont be able to feel at ease.
Carlo contacted Luke the best investigator they had in the squad. Once Carlo sent a message to Luke saying to find out everything in regards to the Shadow Mercenaries, Luke called back almost instantaneously.
”Boss is it true? Are you really trying to investigate the Shadow Mercenaries?” Carlo was surprised to receive a call from Luke who likes to change locations and phone numbers every five hours. Even more surprising was that Luke's voice actually had a trace of fear as he spoke.
Alex was still standing there waiting for his dad's next instructions. Carlo signaled him to leave the room for awhile. Alex saluted and left the room.
”Yes it's true... Why is there a problem?”
”Boss how did you even find out about the shadow mercenaries? I'm sure I never reported anything to you in regards to them.”
When Carlo heard that Luke didn't report to him in regards to the information of the Shadow Mercenaries, that could only mean one thing this organization was dangerous.
