Chapter 9 One Mistake
“What do you want me to do for you Don Oscar?” Ethan asked in his hard voice.
He knew that this is the dumbest question that he had ever ask, also, he has ask this question several times. It just so sulks that Oscar seemed to be avoiding the question, but then, maybe he just didn’t know what to say be ause now, as he touched his moustache massaging his hair in thoughts, Oscar raised his head swiftly, facing him widely.
“I want you to elimi ate Xavier Barley from the surface of the earth. He merits it so much that there is no way that I am ever going to accept the fact that he Is better than me,” Oscar explained.
Tears filled the corners of his eyes, and he bit his lip hard not to broke down in front of him. Ethan perfectly understood what that meant and as he gladed at him, he deciphered what might be going to his mind. Sighing, Ethan realized what was not going to be their fate if he doesn’t stand up to be a man.
Like seriously, it’s their squad that is going to be destroyed, and everything he hassl been fighting for, trying to build will all be brushed way in a tragic incidence. Well, he doesn’t find this the least funny, and he needs to do something about it. Finally, an inspiration came to his mind, ao he decided to talk on it.
“Alright, Don Oscar, this is not yet a promise, but I ensure you this, I will wipe out Xavier’a existence before he has the time to even wait forthe votes. He needs to die, and unless we kill him, such fear wouldn’t be the order of the day any more,” he murmured.
As he said so, Oscas’s face brightened up already. Well, it was part of his plans, he had meant what he said, and as he glared at him proudly, he sniff bringing out the staunch part of him. Oscar doesn’t really care about the men working for him, the only thing he knows is that his culprit needs to be eliminated, there is no way that he is going to be alive and allow everything that he has worked for to crumble in front of his eyes. No! such things can’t happen.
Pretending as if he was wipin his eyes with his hands, he brought out a cruel laughter behind his hand, not wanting Ethan to see it. Well, it didn’t mean anything if Ethan had seen it or not, it didn’t mean anything to her, and as she brushed her mind away from those stuff, it was kind of bizarre.
“Thank you so much, Ethan for helping me, like seriously, I do not know what I can ever do to you right now, you have been so good to me all the time,” he mouthed, staring at me Ethan with bright eyes.
It was his normal routine to behave in that manner, so it didn’t really cause him a problem, but then, Oscar saw it as a problem, like a weird one for that matter. Ethan was kind of embarrassed to talk to him about the fact that he was afraid of
Xavier, this is because he has grounds. He is like this super rich business men that have everything they need in their lives. Barley has money, authority, and power, but now, the only thing he wants more is power. Even though it will limited to become the president of Bessadi, it didn’t mean anything to the young man. He kind of hated his guts for that reason because Xavier’s reasons of entering the contest is clean and pure. To eliminate the mafias.
“Don Oscar?” Ethan called out to Oscar boldly.
This time, he was swift in tilting his head to stare at Ethan. Maybe he thought that he is going to tell him something more enticing than the one he is already doing because that will make her happy, like seriously. Staring at him with bright blue eyes, he waited for him to speak up.
Erhan sensed that too, because he didnt waste Oscar’s time, instead, he goes straight ahead to tell him his plans.
“No offense, Don Oscar, I was wondering, how do Igo about killing a person like Xavier Barley. I know the it will be such a great challenge, but then, I wish to know your own amidea about it,” Ethan blurted out sweetly.
His question caused Oscar to gasp, he didn’t believe believe that his professional killer will make him feel so bad.
“Ethan, you are the only person I know right now that can do this job for me clean and perfectly, that is why I am asking you to help me. Is that too much to ask?” he inquired his voice suddenly beoming soft.
The manner in which he spoke freaked Ethan in every sense of the word, and as he tried brushing his mind away from his master, he knew that his questions had just been the dumbest that it previously was.
“Fine, Mr. Oscar, I will do as you say, there is no way that I am going to do such a thing to you, in fact, you shouldn’t be In thos mood right now, and I will help you as much as much as I can,” Ethan sajd to the man sitting in front of him.
This is a good start to make the Don feel better, so, he smiled brightly at him trying to make him feel comfortable. Alright, now that this is settled, several questions bumped into Ethan’s mind, he knew that this is the sole reason why he had come here, and he is even lucky to have been here, if not, Don Oscar would haveee fallen into fit. Only thinking about it is a genuine reason not to give up on his instincts.
Ethan’s mind was saturated when Oscar’s question came filing into his mind.
“Now, tell me, Ethan, how long do you think I will have to wait until you eliminate Xavier Barley? I hope you know that he poses a threat to us right? as if winning the Governor’s office is not enough for him, he now wants to increase his post,” Oscar muttered out in anger.
This is more than anything he can possibly think of, the thoughts clouded his mind, he couldn’t even believe that he had said such a thing, his mind was blown away, and he tried his best to maintain his sanity. Staring at Odcar now, he understood his biggest fears. Everyone has that enemy that each time he approaches her, it just froghtens the hell out of her.
At first, it was that Xavier’s goal was to become the Governor of Douala, that was normal, they all accepted it, and everything moved on smoothly because they one that they had someone to back them up, and that was Louis Chatham. All their hopes where on him, he is as much as a toy that everyone can manipulate at anytime, so that is why they gladly took him along to be on their camp.
Xavier is wise, he advocates for the truth and stands against any illegal act or activities that might destroy the society, this is why they don’t want him to be a wall to them. But then, he seems to always have his way around. It is frustrating to know that especially when everything they do is so hard for him to comprehend it, he can’t even possible settle their differences in that manner, it aches their hearts so much.
Xavier had played it smart because he waited all these years underground, raising a great number of people to fight against the red feather squad. He had perfectly understood the concept that explains that fact that one doesn’t fight a doesn’t, and he was right about that. More that anything that could happen in his life right now.
There is nothing like rallying the family of the deceased to standby him, Xavier had played the loyal young man, always offering gifts and also visiting the families of the people that were once killed. It was annoying to know that such a thing could happen with him being the leader of it all. But then, he didn’t pose a threat to them, no. Besides all these things, Ethan knows that he is a bad person, he has killed so many people that he doesn’t even remember what that was. He always crease his forehead, not wanting to the headache that shot through him to expand elsewhere.
“What are you thinking about?” Don Oscar asked Ethan breaking the silence.
He had not noticed that he had been kind of carried away by his thoughts, it was none of his intentions to he like that, but then, it has happened to him right now, and there is barely anything he can do about it, especially when he has heard the question well, and the only thing left right now is for him to answer the question.
Shaking his head violently as if trying to reason out the question in his mind, Ethan thought of a better way to answer the question because the earlier he does so, the better it will be for him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Don Oscar, I am just thinking in how we should have terminated Xavier’s life earlier. He is so annoying like seriously,” Ethan spat disgustingly.
He ended here because he knows that if he adds further words to what he just said, something might happen to him, considering the fact that Oscar has not fully recovered from the double shock that he has obtained for one evening.
Three years ago when Xavier Barley had started visiting some of the relatives and friends of the people that the red feather squad had killed, sympathizing with them, telling them how justice will someday come to them, Ethan had walked up to Don Oscar with the proposal to kill him.
The good thing with Ethan Smith is that his face is never revealed, once you see him, he definitely has to kill you to sage his image, therefore, no one has had the opportunity to know always kills. That Is why when he had met Ruby at the club that night, he had the urge to kill her, but some sympathy had showed up in his heart, causing him to leave her allve.
But then, that had a prize because he could not possibly leave her there, she might have revealed his secret, and kijng him was never an option for him.
Ethan often enjoys the several beatings he gives her, he enjoys the fact that the lady is bound to him and only to him alone that is why he makes it difficult for her to forget those notions.
If it means that he has to beat her and tie her hands and feet, coupled with a tape around her mouth for her to stay calm, Ethan was ready to do so. After two years, he has finally gotten what he wanted, a lady like none other who respects him as if her soul depended on it__ of course, it does, that is why she wants to always redeem herself in front of him, and that is what he wants.
Sighing, Ethan swiftly removed his mind from those thoughts, Ruby was such an annoying young lady that he can’t keep hitting on her. Even after all these years of beating her and also maltreating her, she has never for once talk to him badly, that is one thing that she realized, and as he lives the supremacy he has iver her, he kind of laughed brightly. He had made it in life, nothing more is more than that, and he acknowledges that fact.
With Xavier, it has not been easy as he thought, and when he had brought up the idea to kill the young man, all what Don Oscar had said that day was,
“Ethan, let the young man be, his day will come, believe me Ethan, his day will come,”
