Later that night, after Dom dismissed the rest of the crew. I went home to find Evie, Lila and rhymes staring into the laptop so intensely. They didn't hear my footsteps as I walked in. It wasn't till I closed the door that they snapped out of their daze.
Slam!
The door shut behind me, they jolted in fright by the sound of the front door. Rhymes' eyes widened as he stood up and moved towards me.
"From the documents Evie hacked, we have gotten vital information on Victor's criminal enterprise. Among the list is a local gang called the jackals. It's led by a small lieutenant of his called Jack. He has been bullying the residents of this neighbourhood for some few years now. Police have tried to arrest him, but it was futile. His well connected."
I pressed my lips after listening to Rhymes' discovery. I removed my flip phone from my poccket and called Howard.
Beep
"Howard, pls look into this local gang called the jackals for me. I'll call back in the next 30 minutes."
29 minutes later.
Howard called me back " Young Master, I have gotten the information you asked for. The jackals is a small gang that started up as petty thieves and street hoodlums. However, under the new leadership of their new boss jack "scar" bolton. They have become more organized and grew to become a small neighborhood local crime ring. They have ties with Victor Langston and his empire. Will you like us to take care of them?" He asked in a polite tone.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this one myself, I will call you to clean up when I'm done." I replied in a serious tone. A text appeared on my phone on their hideout after I hung up.
"Red level Street."
I informed rhymes and the ladies of the new plan as I left the house.
Red level street was notoriously known to be among the most dangerous streets in the city. It compromised only the most feared criminals It was so dreaded that even taxis and police don't venture into those areas without the fear of losing their cars or even worse.
I had to enter several train stations to finally reach their location. I finally reached the street and followed the phone map to their exact pin point position. I was met with a lot of seething and disdain looks from different people on the street who seemed not to like my presence. Yet, I remained unfazed as I continued my search. From my time in prison, I learnt not to be intimidated by shady looks. So I became indifferent as I marched on.
I finally reached their hideout late at night. The night sky was pitch black which gave me the element of surprise. There was some burly men who stood at the entrance. I hid in an alleyway close by to access the surroundings. When all the neighbouring sounds went down for the night, I swiftly jumped at the two men guarding the door.
Thud! Thud!
Before any of them could react, I smacked both on the them which knocked them out. I discreetly opened the doorknob.
The hideout was filled with burly men all fully armed. I could hear the sound of young female girls screaming in an enclosed room.
Swish!
I lunged at men standing in front of the door. I found a broken bottle and used it to cut through them down ruthlessly. The room was smeared with blood as I slashed through all the burly men holding knives and weapons. Some tried to pounce on me, but I managed to dodge in time and disarmed by breaking their wrist bone.
Crack!
The whole room become a pandemonium as the sounds of 40 men laid down with blood gushing out from their bodies, while some had broken bones grimacing.
A huge man over 300 pounds, muscular built with a scar on his left one emerged out of the room. His eyes turned crimson as he glanced around to see all his men in agony.
"Who dared to attack the jackal on our street? Show yourself you coward!" He yelled out. From his features, he fits the description I was given of their leader jack aka 'scar'. I strode to him confidently as I cracked the neck of the last man who tried to hit me.
Crack!
"That will be me." I said with a smug on my face. His eyes widened in shock.
"You fool! Do you have any idea who you're messing it?" He pounced at me like a hungry tiger.
Thud
In quick footsteps, I maneuvered behind him. I jabbed the side of his massive back with a hard-fist punch. That sent through his spine that brought him down to his knees as he screamed out in pain holding his rib area. Before he could muster the strength to stand, I sent a chilling blow to his head with my elbow. He fell to the ground face flat after passing out.
When he finally woke up, I sat down close to him holding a huge knife. He gasped in awe as he wiped the sweat glistened on his forehead.
"Pls don't kill me.. I'll do anything you ask Master." jack said with a defeated demeanor and fear in his eyes.
I smirked while gazing at him. " If I'm to show you mercy, you have to promise me two things." He nodded in acceptance.
"First…you and your gang will never bully anyone else in the neighbourhood again. Second, you will leave this city and never to return-" He pulled himself off the ground and hurriedly nodded in approval. As he tried to race to the door. I called him back.
"I never said you could leave." I gazed at him with dark eyes. This took him aback and he quickly returned to his initial position. He looked at me with a puzzled look. I threw the knife towards him. He had a confused expression but after a few seconds, his eyes widened with dismay.
"Master -" His feebly attempt to plead with me didn't work. My face remained indifferent. He took a deep sigh as he caught off his right hand as tribute to me. He stood up in a weak manner as he strode off.
After he left with his remaining men who were conscious, I called Howard to clean up the mess and call the authorities to help with the young ladies kept in the room. I waited till he showed up. When he arrived at my position, I told him what I did to jack and his gang.I left quietly to avoid been recognized by any of Victor's associates.
