Chapter 213 - 213. Making Ammendments In Proposal
Markus had written all the loopholes that were present in Andrew's proposal. But most important was the last statement.
"Meet me at Gazebo restaurant, Room number 101 at 7 in the evening." - Markus
The last statement made Andrew smile, as this was completely surprising. Markus approaching him on his own, then making amendments in his plan and finally agreeing to his proposal was something he wasn't expecting today.
In fact he had briefly scribbled his original proposal to pass it to Markus today. He was tired of talking and trying to convince him every day.
Thus this was his last trial, where he was going to directly pass the rough plan to Markus and leave the final decision to him.
If Markus was to reject his proposal today, he had decided to not confront him anymore and simply give up.
But miraculously, Markus came to him on his own, and even agreed to the barely presentable plan.
In the evening, Andrew reached the place on time, standing right in front of the room door that Markus had written in note.
He took a deep breath before ringing the bell for room and within one minute, Markus had opened the door wide for him.
Andrew entered and closed the door behind him.
"So why do you want to challenge someone so powerful?" Markus asked, his tone much more relaxed and easygoing as compared to his seriousness in the morning.
"That's a little too personal." Andrew replied.
"But you already know everything about me. It would only be fair if I know who I am working with and why. Or else how am I supposed to trust you?" Marlus asked.
"I want to kill him and a woman." Andrew replied, his tone cold.
"Why?" Markus asked, not knowing why Andrew wanted to kill him, or what connection such a powerful personality would have with a regular person in A city.
"He is my father. And the woman I want to kill is my mother." Andrew said and paused before taking a deep breath.
"I would tell you the entire scene someday. But not now please." Andrew said.
"Okay, I won't press you. But never knew you had such a dangerous identity." Markus said, finding it difficult to digest, that he was dealing with the son of David Auger, president of Z city.
"Does that make any difference?" Andrew asked, raising his eyebrow.
"No. In fact it makes the deal even more interesting and challenging." Markus said, knowing that Andrew definitely had some reasons to kill his own father.
After all though their encounters weren't too long, he could already see how serious and smart Amdrew was.
Though both of them were working for entirely different goals, one for avenging his late father while other to kill his own father, Markus trusted that this deal and partnership would bring huge changes in his life.
And the next day onwards, both of them were invisible to the outside world.
Andrew took Markus to his secret place, his base where he had collected all his training equipment in the past few years.
Markus was truly astonished to see the level of hi-tech equipment that were present in Andrew's base.
And soon their training started. Markus shifted all his luggage at Andrew's base, living with him 24×7.
Andrew even took Markus to the black markets existing in B country that Markus didn't knew much about.
Thankfully Markus had informed all this to grandpa, who was not as worried about Markus as he was in the initial days.
Markus and Andrew learnt every single thing that the black markets had to present. Whether it was gambling, illegal drugs, human trafficking, killing, stealing, or any other crime that anyone could think of, Markus and Andrew were completely trained in them now.
Markus would occasionally return back home, and his visits became even more frequent, especially since grandpa announced that he will be the heir to his father's throne.
With huge responsibilities of the underworld and business, Markus still managed to stay with Andrew.
This way, almost more than a year had passed. In this, Markus and Andrew became closer, more than brothers to each other.
But finally Andrew received the opportunity to attack his father, and with a goodbye, he left Markus.
Markus, feeling that he was more than ready to rule his world, left Andrews base and came back home, reigning over country B's mafia.
*PRESENT TIME, MARKUS's BEDROOM*
This way Markus ended up telling Kizy about his dark past.
But because he had spent one year in black market, nobody had seen him over this period of time except his family. Plus grandpa also didn't want people to know about this, thus this information was always hidden.
But the professor attacked him using this weak point.
Because no one had seen Markus during this time, except Andrew and his family, nobody could provide evidence against those baseless rumours.
And if he was to expose his real location, people were bound to hate him even more, especially after knowing his deals and involvement within various crimes.
Thus neither Markus, nor grandpa wanted to disclose any information about that time and simply hacked the bank account to prove Markus's innocence.
"You even did human trafficking!!" Kizy exclaimed after knowing the entire truth.
"We needed to learn a lot. But our identities were way too dangerous. Thus we took on different identities, even altering our looks to enter a huge gang as some small thugs.
And to prove our loyality, we did some crimes, made mistakes, but I can't change that now." Markus said, his voice sincere and full of guilt.
"You don't have to be embarrassed about your past Markus. Just like me, you had your own reasons. And if not for those years, you won't be the Mafia King that you are right now. We both have committed a lot of crimes, but I don't think we should let our pasts overshadow our future." Kizy said, placing a hand over Markus's shoulder, consoling him.
Markus just nodded, trying to come out of his dark past, wanting to leave those memories behind.
"What about Andrew? Have you ever met him again?" Kizy asked, trying to divert Markus's attention.
