After Zach dropped Keira off at her work, he directly went to Field Marshal Chan’s house.
As soon as he arrived at the Chan’s Mansion, he saw that his men were already there.
Torin met him with a crumpled face.
"Bro, why did you give me ’Falcon’ as an alias? Do I look like a bird to you? Darn, those gangsters will surely laugh at me! Your alias is ’Wolf’, and mine is ’Falcon’? Can’t you, at least, give me something fiercer?!" complained Torin.
Zach ignored him, trying hard not to laugh at Torin’s unsatisfied look. He got all the aliases from Keira last night after she gave him his reward.
Zach’s ears, as well as his face, reddened at the thought of how Keira had made his evening extraordinary.
"Sir!" Zach’s men greeted him, which interrupted his sudden silly thoughts. He shook his head to get back to reality.
Then Zach looked at Torin with an arched eyebrow as he said, "Do you want to swap aliases with Janus?"
Torin’s face became weary, as he mumbled, "’Dumbo’? No thanks! I’ll stick with ’Falcon.’"
The men laughed as Janus scratched his head.
"Well, you can swap with mine... Ssssshhhhhh..." said Lieutenant Long, acting like a snake.
"No way, I hate that animal, it’s so vicious, it suits you anyway," remarked Torin with a twisted mouth.
Zach had seven men in his team. Each of them was the best among their own craft. Also, they all were part of the Special Forces.
He had already briefed them beforehand, and today, they were just going to have a meeting with Ryu Ken.
"Sir, please follow me. Field Marshal Chan is already waiting for all of you in the meeting room," said the bodyguard who approached him.
Zach nodded, and with the rest of his men, followed the bodyguard.
...............
"They are the best among my men and are very capable of collecting information. They are also the best in combat skills. I’m confident that this mission will be a success." Field Marshal Chan proudly declared as he introduced Zach and his team.
Ryu nodded and introduced himself to them.
Zach introduced himself as Wolf and introduced the others by their respective aliases.
"Sir, you need an alias as well. You should get a terrifying one since you’ll be our Boss in the underworld," said Zach with a grin as he wondered what would Ryu choose as an alias.
Then, they discussed the plan and the target time to execute and finish up everything.
"You think we can accomplish this from twenty to twenty-five days at maximum?" Ryu asked with hesitation.
"Hey, tough man. Yes, we will do our best. But you should do your part without failing too. By the way, you look familiar... Are you close with Field Marshal’s daughter?" Zach simply asked as he stared at Ryu.
’Dummy! Why ask a nonsense question like that?’ Zach scolded himself. For some reason, he wanted to see how Ryu would react if Keira would be mentioned.
Ryu nodded unconsciously, but then with a confused look, said, "Huh?"
Zach’s face became serious, as he said, "Nevermind... Here’s the information on the current Bosses and people with power in the underworld. Make sure you study their profiles well. Because soon, you will need to meet each one of them. Most of them are high-profile people. It’s very difficult to put a hand on them. And I’m not even talking about taking them down. But we are already working on it."
Ryu took the tablet from him and was shocked to see the names implicated in drug dealing, trafficking, and lots of other illegal actions: Ryu knew some of them.
"The business world is truly scary... You never know who is clean or who has dirt under their tables, especially in a world where money is involved..." Zach commented as if he could hear the thoughts, running in Ryu’s head as he looked at the profiles of the people implicated in the underworld.
Zach was sure that Ryu knew most of the name in the list, they were also a part of the high-society circle, like Ryu Ken.
"Yeah, let’s bring these bastards down... Bastards, who were polluting our society for far too long," murmured Ryu, and Zach couldn’t help but admire the man in front of him.
Field Marshal Chan had previously summarized everything to him and explained why Ryu Ken was so eager to join hands with them in bringing down the underworld groups.
If Zach were in his shoes, he would also do the same: Sacrifice himself for his family’s safety...
Like for Ryu Ken, to him, the family was very important. Because his family was his home.
"Have you thought of an alias?" Zach asked Ryu.
"Yeah... I will use ’Hawk,’" Ryu said.
"We need to build a name in the underworld, so you will be spending a lot of money on this mission, Mr. Ken," Zach said because they would need to deal with various groups in the underworld.
"Yeah, I understand. Money is not a problem as long as we bring him down. Old Man Skull is my main target," said Ryu.
Zach explained to him how the organizations of the underworld worked. Old Man Skull was only the of one of the groups they needed to bring down.
But there was only one person considered as the King of the underworld, he was called Mr. Big. That Mr. Big was Zach’s final target...
Bringing down Mr. Big was their operation’s main target.
And after that, he would no longer go on any mission.
’Ah, there will be only one mission left for me- securing my Mrs. Lim...’ Zach inwardly thought as he smiled to himself.
