Chapter 43
The bishop took a step back as Han started approaching him. Who was this man!? There was no way he wouldn’t have heard of him before if he could take down his twenty elites at once!
Han walked up to the seat the bishop had been in and plopped down with a sigh. Han put the bloodied whiskey glass on the table and then began talking. He could see the fear in the bishop’s eyes and he was glad he finally had his attention. It was better to deal with these people using fear rather than respect!
“I usually don’t care for the underground. Your ways are different from what I plan to do with myself. But you hurt my brother over there. Your drugs destroyed someone close to him and what kind of man would I be if I allowed you go Scot free”
Han looked the bishop in the eye and then nodded towards the chair opposite him. The bishop swallowed as he sat down. What did this meeting turn into this!? Was he not the one sitting over here before!?
“Listen to me carefully. I am only going to tell you this once, I am not a patient man. I am a man who would drown you in fire for the sake of his family…”
Han leaned forward and Tao Long pushed the bishops head forward till they were both leaning over the table. Han then suddenly grabbed the bishop and slammed his head down on the table.
[[BloodLust] has been activated]
“Ahh!! Wait! Wait! Don’t kill me, wait!!”
“Where do you get the Wisteria from!?’
“I don’t know!! The boss just gives it to me and I sell it! I don’t know where it comes from!!!”
“Who’s your boss!”
The bishop went silent for a while and Han squeezed his hand down on his head till he heard a small crack! Was this man more afraid of this boss than his bloodlust!?
“Jesus Christ! Wait! Wait! No one knows her name! We all just call her the dealer!!!”
Tao Long’s eyes widened once he heard this and he swallowed in dread. Han eyed him for a second before turning back to the bishop. If he wasn’t the one producing the drugs then he didn’t need to deal with him directly. He released him and the bishop coughed in pain. He would definitely be needing some stitches for his head.
Han stood up and said.
“I’m letting you off just this once because we just met each other. I have to leave a good impression on you. But don’t make me come back the second time”
Han turned to leave but the bishop spoke up as well.
“You… You can’t win against the dealer, no one can. Even if you get rid of the bishop, I am just one head in hundreds. The dealer is like a hydra. Cut the bishop off and two more will grow”
Han eyed the bishop for a moment before he turned and left. Once he was outside he sighed angrily. Did this man not fear death at all!? What sort of person would make him hesitate in front of [Blood Lust]!?
Tao Long was surprisingly quiet beside Han and Han finally asked him who the dealer was.
“I don’t know. In fact, no one knows. The only thing we know is that it is a woman. The dealer is one of the superpowers of the underground, there is nobody that can go against her. If she is the one providing the Wisteria, we should leave it,”
‘Wow, he is really afraid. This woman must be scary,’
Han sighed and tapped Tao Long’s shoulder as he began walking away. It didn’t look like they would be able to find the dealer today but he would start looking into it tomorrow.
“Don’t worry, I already called you my brother and I always keep my word. I won’t let your family fall like that”
Tao Long teared up before bowing low.
“Thank you, Boss!!!”
Han simply waved him away as he disappeared into the night.
…..
The next morning Han arrived at what was to be his new office complex. It was a large thirty-story skyline that stretched high into the sky. It was still a secret from the rest of the world and no one was here except his banker and the agent he would be buying the building from. He knew just how dangerous this corporate world was and he wanted to have his feet on the ground before he came out openly.
“You’re finally here! It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Han Luo!”
The man who spoke was tall and balding. He wore a brilliant black suit and had a secretive smile. This was the biggest estate manager in the city and Miss Kim’s distant cousin. Mr. Quinn Park. He was known as a cold businessman who only did deals that would see him come out on top. He was openly against most business practices like poaching and backstabbing.
Han decided to buy this building from him because a man like this would not open his mouth about a deal until the client wanted it to be public news. He was the perfect definition of a secret keeper.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Quinn. Banker, I hope you haven’t waited too long”
Mr. Quinn shook his head end immediately led them all inside. They were given a grand tour of the building as they went. Fifty offices and twenty lounges. A large cafeteria as well as a gym room and swimming pool. Han felt like he was in another world!
“This is the in-office condo. It is equipped with everything you will need if ever you feel you need to stay over in the office. I know how heafty things can get with you traders”
Han nodded along as the banker laughed at Mr. Quinn’s joke. The last place they went to was the conference room and they signed the contract there. Han was not focused on all these things. He didn’t need to be since his banker was there and he had already read the contract last night before they came into the office. Instead, he was focused on something else.
[Departure time – 10:50:23]
It was maddening. Truly maddening. Han woke up this morning to this screen once again and he couldn’t for the life of him figure out what had gone wrong again!
Was this how things were just going to keep going!? Was he just a multiversal janitor that would keep on getting pulled into the future to clean up the messes REACH make!? How did they even manage to infect the world again!?
Now that he had solved the issue with AeroDynamicity was there going to be another way for them to do it!?
Han had to talk to that woman in the void. This time he would try to get something out of her before he goes to the future!
“Mr. Han. Are you alright?”
Han looked up and saw both men looking at him in worry. He must have zoned out.
“Yes, I’m fine. Is there something you wanted?”
“I asked if there was anything you didn’t like about the building”
Han shook his head. He loved the place. It was perfect for what he wanted to do. Since he started the company he had been wondering what he was going to do with it. He just started it at first to keep the government off his back due to a large amount of money he was funneling in there, but now that he had all these he needed to actually use it for something.
His first thought was an investment bank, but he immediately threw it away since there were too many of those already. Instead, Han decided to make a hedge fund company that would handle trading on a daily basis. His company current-controlled just over two hundred million dollars because of how much trading he had been doing. If he got a team of traders and taught them all he knew then he could focus on other things as well.
“I think it’s perfect. There’ll be just under thirty workers and traders working under me so the number of offices is perfect. I’ll need a few offices put aside for the various subsidiaries we’ll have. One for real estate and one for AeroDynamicity. The other things can be handled as we go on”
Mr. Quinn nodded happily and then they finalized the contract. Han signed with his left hand, of course.
…..
That night Han stood in front of the window in his condo overlooking the city. He downed the drink in his hand before looking at the screen again.
[Departure time – 00:05:30]
He moved over to his bed and lay down, five minutes later, he disappeared.
