The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 255

255 A Meeting of Two Superb Groups

“You are the owner of this café. Make the most special coffee for me,” Nicko answered Martin’s question while pulling the crazy guy away.

After Nicko managed to get Martin out of the room, the conversation between Jita Kyoei and Black could finally start without interruption.

“Just like you, we also want to destroy the Beast Empire because they recruited martial arts students like RJC and Hell Gate,” Troy said.

Emma nodded. “I know. So, you guys ask for cooperation?”

“We don’t ask it, but offer it. If you don’t want it, that’s not a problem. We will still carry out our mission. Black’s presence will only make the mission easier. Without you, it doesn’t mean we can’t be successful.” Troy replied.

“Your reasons for defeating the Beast Empire are acceptable to us. Therefore, it seems that this cooperation will benefit both of us.” Emma answered, ignoring Troy’s further reasoning.

“Then, what are your plans?” Calvin asked.

“Before revealing what our plans are, I want to ask you one thing first. What do you know about the Beast Empire?” Emma asked.

Hearing Black’s question, Troy went silent for a moment, wondering if they should easily tell what they knew about their enemy, even before the cooperation was officially legalized.

.....

But Ian gently nudged Troy’s arm, then gave a look from his droopy eyes. From the gaze, Troy understood that Ian was telling him to tell Black the information they already had.

“You can explain to him, Frank,” Troy said.

Then Emma and Linda turned to the man with chin-length black hair in a ponytail.

“Beast Empire has a labour supply foundation business. From my search, I found that they are doing it illegally. And they often target teenage girls and young women. Recently, I found out that they get female workers by using the kidnapping method. The victims may be turned into prostitution workers. But to be sure, we’re still trying to dig deeper,” Frank explained.

Emma nodded in understanding. In fact, it was all information she already knew. She just wanted to do a little testing; whether Jita Kyoei trusted Black enough or not. It was because, in collaboration, mutual trust was something important. She didn’t want anyone to be nudging each other.

Amazingly, Emma’s purpose in questioning it was realized by Ian. The man realized that the Black leader was testing Jita Kyoei’s trust in them.

Emma realized that the men in Jita Kyoei’s group had very high self-esteem, especially Tobias Ian. Until now, all those men still thought that Black was a group of men.

Because of that, they would be very hard at defending their dignity. Although Emma was a woman, because she grew up among men since childhood, she understood this point of view very well.

“Beast Empire runs the Human Trafficking business. They don’t just work the girls out, but also the elderly and children.” Emma explained.

“Human Trafficking?” Calvin’s brow furrowed.

Emma nodded, then told the guys all the business and evil she knew about the Beast Empire. She told the cruel things that the group would do to workers who wanted to rebel, and how they ensnared their victims. Beast Empire purely got all their workers from trapping and kidnapping.

“That bastard group!” Troy clenched his fists.

“The last time we attacked their car, it was carrying kidnapped girls. They were in the process of warehouses transferring. After rescuing the girls, we realized that Beast Empire had sent their members to look for the girls’ whereabouts.

Therefore, we have not been able to return the girls to their homes until now and have been forced to keep them all in our place. They will never be able to live freely until the Beast Empire is completely destroyed.” Linda explained.

“So, you are giving accommodate for all the girls you snatched from the Beast Empire?” Ian concluded.

Linda nodded. “That’s only for the girls whose personal information has been known by Beast Empire. For girls who have just been kidnapped, like what happened yesterday, we immediately took them to their respective homes because they hadn’t yet been taken to the Beast Empire’s human warehouse for the information collection.”

“The space we have is limited. We can’t save the girls with the same method over and over again. In the end, our place will be too full and the Beast Empire will definitely find a way to prevent the same attack from happening again. Therefore, we must move quickly to destroy them.” Emma said.

Ian clicked his tongue. “It turns out the problem is more serious than expected,”

“Just so you know, Ian. It’s a lot more serious than you all knew up until this point.” Emma replied.

The men looked at Black with serious and questioning faces. He was curious about any other information the masked man had. If the problem they knew currently even had to be taken seriously, then what else was more serious than that?

“Beast Empire teamed up with Dragger, the owner of Jen Marrie Street,” Emma said.

“Dragger?!” The men repeated in unison.

“F*ck! Of course, they are! They provide women. Jen Marrie should have a share, indeed! That loathsome place is heaven for jerks and gamblers.” Ian said to himself as he threw his back against his chair’s backrest.

Rarely to be seen, a Tobias Ian seemed to rub the bridge of his nose. It indicated that he had already felt the pressure of the problem that was making his head ache. It was proof that the trouble that occurred would cause them all big trouble.

“Jen Marrie Street has a lot of brothels. So, they get all of their female workers from Beast Empire?” Clavin asked.

“They are. Dragger is Beast Empire’s number one customer. My people say that Dragger has been helping Beast Empire’s business a lot over the years. Maybe if we harass Beast Empire, Dragger will also interfere.” Emma explained.

“This isn’t good. The Dragger is a huge group. I’m always targeting them, but I haven’t been able to touch them one bit.” Calvin murmured.

“I don’t know much about Dragger, other than the fact that it is the owner of Jen Marrie Street. Judging by how big the street is, I can guess that they are a large group. But are Dragger as dangerous as you guys said?” Emma asked.

Calvin Lee and Jita Kyoei were powerful men. Emma admitted that their fighting abilities were above average. It was all proven when they fought The North Viking, Hell Gate, and RJC. The number of members of Jita Kyoei which was only a little at that time, was able to tear apart the members of those large groups.

If the men were saying that Dragger was a very powerful group, then that group might be beyond Emma’s imagination.

“In the dark world of Handway, there’s something called The Deadly Square,” Ian said.

Emma looked at the droopy-eyed man seriously, “I never know about that,”

“That’s why I’ll tell you now,” Ian replied. “The Deadly Square is four big gangster groups that hold several areas of Handway City. I don’t know where the name came from, but their name became known to everyone after they started running big businesses together.

It was as if they were in a competition to be the best, or someone had been forcing them to do so. The four groups of The Deadly Square are Hell Gate, Creeper, Red Jack Commander, and Beast Empire.”

“I don’t know if this is just a coincidence or what. But the four groups also simultaneously recruited martial arts studio students. In fact, they had never done that before.

I know that they are aggressively expanding their business which I never cared about. But lately, they’ve been desperately expanding their groups as if they’re preparing for a huge war.” Troy Added.

“Then, is The Deadly Square the strongest group association in this city?” Emma asked.

Calvin shook his head. “The Deadly Square groups are strong. But they aren’t the strongest. In fact, three of them are destroyed now. It’s all like a game with levels. To be sure, Dragger stands one level higher than Deadly Square.”

“After fighting several members of the Beast Empire, I discovered that its members weren’t strong people. Maybe it was because they only deal with women, children, and the elderly. Those men are nothing compared to the members of the RJC or Hell Gate.” Emma said.

“Their group rarely relies on muscles to solve problems. They usually use money.” Frank answered.

“No wonder they get along so well with Dragger,” Calvin said.

“The difference is; Dragger is a group that has a lot of both; money and strong men. It’s as if they bought up all the advantages with them. The leader is also a smart guy.” Ian said.

“As far as I know, the leader is a high school student. Am I correct?” Emma said.

Frank nodded. “You are. But he’ll be the first high school kid you wouldn’t dare underestimate, Black. I can guarantee that.”

“Then, Black, what was that plan you said earlier?” Troy asked the neatly seated man.

Emma nodded once and then began to explain, “Beast Empire has buildings called human warehouses. Two of them are just ordinary houses that are used as temporary warehouses and shipping transit points. And the other building is the central warehouse. It’s quite large with high walls surrounding the building. There, they keep all the captives. We plan to attack the main warehouse.”

“So, you’re asking us to attack the central warehouse?” Troy asked.

“Nope. We’re going to attack the central warehouse ourselves. But actually, I needed you guys to do other things.” Emma answered.
