Chapter 111: One who needs no Introduction
Raven knew that his brother had a tendency to act reckless and often do stupid things since he wasn’t afraid of any consequences due to his older brother’s position. However, he was also someone who knew the importance of tarnishing the Grey Elephant gang’s name.
His phone was supposed to be kept on him at all times in case they were to be called for an important matter like right now. What’s more, Raven had informed Hawk beforehand and had even stressed the importance of this meeting, so he had no idea what possible reason the other might have had to go so far to turn his phone off.
In the end, he had no choice but to leave a voice message and hope for the best. He might be one of the leaders of the Grey Elephants, but that didn’t give him the right to stop the meeting, especially since all three leaders would be present today. The young man just swore to beat some sense into his younger brother later.
“We heard the reports, it seems you guys caused quite the stir.” The one who was speaking to them all now was a man in his mid thirties. His name was Brandon Trunk and he was one of the three leaders said to have created the Grey Elephants. Their gang quickly rose to prominence due to their strengths in hand to hand combat.
As for who the strongest among the three was, that was a question that didn’t have to be asked. Although all three held the rank of ‘leader’, everyone knew that the real boss was Brandon. Some even speculated that the gang name had been chosen solely by him due to his last name.
“However, it looks like you didn’t last as long as you assured us you would be able to. It’s been a couple hours, whereas I recall you promising me it would be easy enough to last until sunrise. I hope you have a good explanation for this?” Brandon looked at the two. His tone didn’t have a hint of aggression, yet in a way this scared Buffin and Riv even more.
The two colour gang leaders gulped down hard as Brandon waited for an explanation. They were clearly nervous for more than one reason. Both of them had been aware how important their task had been and that it would have been the perfect opportunity to allow them to join the ranks of the Grey Elephants as high-ranking members.
In the first place, they held a higher position than the average Grey Elephant members. After all, they controlled their respective colour gangs. Although they were filled with teenagers and university students, there were still over a hundred people who listened to them.
The one controlling a colour gang needed to be strong, and they had to have a good eye. As many of them would also receive those that were known as Loners. On their recommendation it would be easy for someone to then enter the Grey Elephant gang behind them.
It was an important job that couldn’t just be given to anybody. However, these two had both been leaders of their respective colour gangs for a long time. Completing their task today should have been easy enough, and life as a high-ranking member of a large gang like the Grey Elephants would mean riches beyond their wildest dreams.
“Working together with the red colour gang, we were easily able to deal with the black colours like you asked us to.” Buffin began to explain. “We outnumbered them, but some of our newer members went a little too wild, which has led to the Underdogs getting involved far quicker than we had anticipated.”
A loud echo bang was heard, as Brandon stomped his foot on the top of the shipping container. The two flinched as soon as they heard the loud sound.
“Is that so? Then how come the two of you look to be in perfect condition? Many of your subordinates on the other hand appear to have received quite the beating. From the looks of it, the moment you heard that the Underdogs came out, you decided to run. Surely, that is just a misconception on my part… right?!”
Seeing the situation they were in, Riv was worried. He had seen the power the three in front of him held personally. Just like the grey colour gang, the red colour gang used to be under another group like the Grey Elephants.
However, with just these three alone, they had changed the whole situation and had taken over the group. Riv knew there was no point fighting back, and as someone who was leading a colour gang, he knew the smartest thing he could do was to join the strongest faction.
“I have reason to believe that the Underdogs were actually already out.” Riv spoke up. “They reacted too fast, like they were out before the attack. I’m not saying that there is a leak among us…but from what I’ve been told they appeared to have already been out looking for someone! Those who got caught but let go reported that the Underdogs were asking around about someone with green hair, a young adult or teenager.
“I’m sure that this boy must be someone of great importance to them! They sent out the Cheetah Squad, and their leader Kirk Summerfield was there as well! That is the reason why we had to come back earlier than planned.”
“… that’s it? That’s all you can tell me?” Brandon jumped down from the container and walked over towards the two of them. They could hear his heavy footsteps and the two braced themselves for a beating.
“There was a gang war happening, yet those Underdogs were more interested in some random green haired boy? How very peculiar.” A voice sounded from the back. A male started to walk in and upon seeing him the other members were ready to attack. That was until they could see a marking on the bag of his giant overcoat.
In almost an instant all of them stayed in their place, and kept their arms down. They didn’t bow, as they had no reason to respect this person, but not a single one would dare to attack him. Riv, having turned his head slightly to see who could have stopped Brandon in his tracks, was utterly shocked.
It was a lean male, who had long red hair, tied up. He had a feminine looking face, yet there wasn’t anyone who would dare to point something like that out. After all, that man had the emblem of a phoenix on his coat placed on his chest.
Sin Mutav was the leader of one of the top gangs in the entire country, the Phoenix gang. The Kings were well known among the gangs, because they ruled with an iron fist, and Sin was one of the more flashy ones.
‘What is he doing here, why…would someone like him be in a town like Slough? This doesn’t make any sense!’ Everyone who saw him thought in unison.
Walking through, the members noticed a burning look in Sin’s eyes. They weren’t sure if they were imagining it or not, but ever since he had entered the room they began to feel as if it was getting hotter. They then realised, with each step, that the heat was actually coming from none other than this newcomer.
“Please, give me more time.” Brandon stopped what he had been about to do, and immediately got down on his knees to plead.
It was a strange scene, to see their almighty leader submit to someone else. For the first time in their life they actually witnessed their almighty leader display fear in front of somebody.
Just how strong was this guy to make a man like Brandon act in such a manner?
