The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 290

290 History of Dragger

“What did they say? How could they interfere?” Pablo asked with a worried look.

“You already know that The Deadly Square has all been toppled. It’s certain that now, Black Hole has to intervene.” James replied.

“But there’s Dragger, right? Aren’t we the accomplices of the Black Hole?” Pablo asked again.

“I know. But we can’t count on you alone. We don’t think you’re strong enough. Therefore, we’re taking over all of The Deadly Square’s collapsed businesses.” James said.

Pablo was surprised to hear that fact. At first, he thought that all of these businesses would be taken over by Dragger because they were the accomplices of Black Hole.

The Black Hole group never touched on these kinds of businesses. From the start, Pablo was confident that all of that would be handed on to Dragger.

He had even prepared himself and his members to propose new businesses that he would manage. But now, reality said that it was just a wishful thinking.

“Not strong enough? Are you kidding me? Who’s been giving the Black Hole the most income so far?” Creed snapped.

“Hey, keep your voice down kid. Remember where you stand and where you are right now.” James moved his finger to instruct Creed to sit back down.

.....

Then the bald man full of tattoos sighed tiredly. “That decision was the result of a collective meeting. You can’t just blame everything on me,”

“But, this is all we can do, James. Now, the only Black Hole man we can meet is you. We don’t even understand why you guys made up this new nonsense rule.” Pablo said.

“Come on... You boys just need to obey and win the war.” James flicked his hand briefly in front of his face. He couldn’t stand the kids for long. They suck.

“Then what about Dragger?” Pablo asked deeply.

“What do you mean by that?” James asked back.

“Don’t play dumb, James. Those businesses. We should at least have a share in managing them. And also, with the Beast Empire’s businesses. They are under Dragger. We are the ones who raised the Beast Empire.” James explained fast with a higher voice.

“From the start, the Beast Empire belongs to the Black Hole. You approached those sewer rats on our instructions. Did you forget?” James replied.

“That’s just one sentence, James. One sentence. The ones walking, moving, bustling, and tired are us!” Pablo gritted his teeth.

“Hey, I told you not to take your anger out on me. If you guys really mind the decision, you better come straight to them. I’ve told you that I can’t make decisions alone. This is a group of giants.” James said.

Pablo clenched his fists with the anger he had to hold in his chest. “We’re not going to lose. Keep that in mind.”

“Keep your word. I mean it because no help will come later.” James said firmly. But there was sadness in his voice.

In fact, James already considered the two boys like his own little brothers. Even though they were really annoying, James knew that they were actually good kids.

But work was work. You couldn’t get your feelings into it.

In a business, you would befriend whoever gave you an advantage. And a friend could turn into an enemy. This was the ‘eat or be eaten’ game.

Pablo and Creed came out of the cold room with hot hearts. They couldn’t believe their weekend, which was supposed to be fun, had to be passed with such bad news.

Black Hole had even said from the start that they would not provide assistance if Dragger lost the battle later.

Pablo didn’t understand what that group was actually planning.

Dragger was a group formed by Black Hole itself. At that time, Pablo and Creed were just two ordinary junior high boys who went to a cheap school. They were the boys who were squeezed in the lower-class economy.

They were not smart in their studies, even though they had tried. It may be because they often ate instant food and consumed less nutritious foods, so their brains were unable to keep up with lessons.

The only advantage Pablo and Derric had was their fighting ability.

In the whole middle school building, Pablo was the strongest kid and Derric was the second strongest. They could beat students from the same school who join forces to beat them up.

In fact, their talent had already begun to show when they were still in fifth grade. However, it got worse once they advanced to the junior high level. Every day, they fought.

When all the kids in their school could no longer stand up against them, Pablo and Creed started challenging students from other middle schools and even high schools. Every day, they would fight as if that was all they could do to fill their youth.

Pablo and Creed were bored with school life because they couldn’t keep up with the lessons. Therefore, they used fights to fill boredom.

Until one day, a man full of tattoos greeted them. The man said that they were talented kids standing in the wrong place.

The school was not the right place for Pablo and Creed. Therefore, the tattooed man taught them business principles.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Pablo was interested. Unlike school lessons, the short business lesson he got from that man entered easily into his brain and he could digest it well.

In the end, the man invited Pablo to create a business together. However, because Pablo was too young and didn’t have anything, it was the man who financed Pablo to run a small business.

Even though Creed was not as adept at doing business as Pablo, he was always by his best friend’s side. Seeing that perfect combination, an idea was born to form a group.

Pablo and Creed had both power and business acumen. If they created a group, it would quickly become a success.

With the help of the tattooed man, Pablo and Creed form a group called Dragger.

However, one thing the two boys found out only after they had walked far enough was the identity of the man with the tattoos.

Pablo Diablo and Creed Johnson were just children who knew nothing about the outside world. They were children who were born in families with a lower economic class.

Since childhood, their only job was to play in the small river behind the house. Therefore, they became easy targets to be tricked.

The two kids just found out that the strange man who approached them was the leader of a group called Black Hole.

However, back then, Black Hole was a small group. In fact, it was Dragger who made Black Hole as huge as now.

When the business that Dragger ran got bigger, the Black Hole also got bigger.

One more fact that Pablo and Creed did not know from the previous Black Hole was that the group had a very strong core team. Even, the president had demon-like powers.

In fact, along the way, Pablo and Creed had the feeling that they were being used by the Black Hole because Black Hole started implementing a system of routine mandatory payment with high nominal.

Feeling annoyed, Pablo and Creed thought about defecting. But before they could carry out their intention, the leader of the Black Hole could immediately read what the two boys were planning. Then, they were beaten to a pulp by two on one fight.

It was the first time Pablo and Creed had lost a fight. And since then, Dragger had completely submitted to Black Hole.

Not long after that, Black Hole started its next mission as if Dragger, who had set up a business on Jen Marrie Street, still wasn’t enough. Black Hole was targeting four successful groups to turn them into its gold mines.
