The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

167 A Plan

Black’s words were like a joke said in a serious, even tone. It was a strange way of thinking for people like them.

“Geez.. I can’t believe this,” Marcel mumbled as he hit his back against the chair’s back.

“You’d better get used to this soon enough,” Rachel said. ‘You’ll face a more difficult one once you’re married.’ she continued amused inwardly.

Not long after, Kenny’s man finally arrived with a folder in his hand. Deftly, he took out the contents of the folder which were three pieces of paper, a logo stamp, and a nice-looking pen. It seemed to be the pen belonging to the accounting manager he used to sign files.

Emma and Rachel smiled faintly as they nodded slightly. Everything they asked for was finally granted. It was an inexplicable feeling of joy.

On the other hand, Kenny and Marcel’s side could only frown. They became increasingly worried about the shrewdness of the Black duo. It seemed that the two of them knew a lot of things, even some things that Marcel didn’t know were in the group he had been leading. He did not know that the office actually had a special stamp. It seemed that all this time, he had been focused too much on the smooth running of the business and the strength of his group. He didn’t expect that the Blacks, apart from being strong and shrewd, were also quite meticulously careful.

Emma and Rachel grabbed the agreement letter and read it carefully. Finally, the two ladies who disguised as men nodded. Emma collected the three agreement letters back and gave them to Marcel, “Please sign and give a stamp.”

Reluctantly, Marcel did as Black asked. After that, he shifted the three papers roughly in front of the two masked men. Then the leader Black signed the three letters. Then unilaterally, Black took two papers for himself and gave one to Marcel.

“Is the troublesome process over?” Marcel asked sarcastically as he took the paper of his agreement and handed it to Kenny who was still standing beside him.

.....

Emma nodded, “Now it’s my turn to give the information. You’d better write this down.” she said.

“The creeper at Greenvalley Street is not the main base. They have a bigger base in Chingsu District. There, they have a main leader named Lee Mu Fei, who I think is the real leader of the Creeper. Creeper holds the entire Chingsu District territory and is hired as the official guard there. They are greatly feared by everyone. They also run a business of taking bribes from rogue employees and have recently started a new business. It’s a scam under the guise of money lending. If you think that Creeper is weak, that’s because you only see Creeper on Greenvalley Street. The Creeper in Chingsu District that directly led by Lee Mu Fei has at least five hundred very formidable men. They are very strong and good at fighting.” Emma explained.

Marcel and the others seemed quite surprised to hear that fact. Now their wonder about why they couldn’t stop the Creeper had finally been answered. It turned out that the group they had been fighting against had strong support behind it. That was what causes the group to sometimes become very weak and become strong at other times, as if they were toying with their enemy by swapping their men.

“If Lee Mu Fei is the original leader of the Creeper, then what is the title of Oscar Chopper? He always claims to be the leader of the Creepers.” Kenny asked.

“Oh.. Is his name Oscar Chopper?” Emma muttered to herself as she rubbed her chin. Previously, she had only heard of Oscar’s name but didn’t know his full name. “He’s probably Lee Mu Fei’s right-hand man. To be sure, Oscar holds the Greenvalley area, while Lee Mu Fei holds the Chingsu District,” she answered lightly.

“Lee Mu Fei runs a fraudulent business that hurts a lot of people. He charges unreasonable interest on debt and takes the working contracts of employees in Chingsu District as collateral. With these contracts, the employees will be their cash cows forever. Those employees are what we want to save. We have to get their working contracts back from the hands of the Creepers. Even though we can take down the Creepers in the end, that doesn’t mean we can retrieve the contract files. Therefore, we must be very careful on this mission.” Rachel added.

Marcel nodded, “Let’s say, to take down the Creeper, we have to take down the main base first.”

“That’s right. Once the main base is taken down, devouring everything in Greenvalley is meaningless because they are very weak. We can finish them in less than a day.” Emma nodded.

“Then what plan have you made?” Marcel asked.

“I realized that Lee Mu Fei doesn’t really like Oscar Chopper. He doesn’t seem very supportive of the branch in Greenvalley. Even though they both have the same name as Creeper, I can guess that both of them are concerned about their respective territories. Currently, we are trying to find out more about that group. My goal is to pit the two of them against each other so that the Creeper would break apart. When that happens, it’s easy for us to go in and attack them. Bones that break easily are those that are porous inside.” Emma explained.

“Since you guys have been dealing with the Creeper in Greenvalley, what information do you know about them?” Rachel asked Marcel.

“As I’ve explained, it’s led by Oscar Chopper. But their leader is actually a weak idiot. He never goes into battle and can’t read the enemy’s strength. All his commands tend to be reckless that makes his men almost die in their enemies’ hands.” Marcel explained.

“Hm.. It seems that it makes sense why Lee Mu Fei doesn’t like Oscar Chopper. He must think of him as a burden in the Creeper group. But strangely, why does he still maintain such a person?” Emma muttered.

“The dedication of a person in building success will not be forgotten. If Lee Mu Fei was a good leader, he would not throw away those who have contributed to his success. Oscar likely played an important role in the formation of Creeper that Lee Mu Fei could not throw that man away, even though he’s a burden to the group.” Kenny answered.

Rachel nodded, “I agree. But patience has a limit, right? And in the end, the group’s future is the first. Lee Mu Fei could use the Creeper’s future as an excuse to kick Oscar out.”

“Greenvalley Creeper’s weakness is their poor defence due to weak members. For now, Greenvalley Creeper can become a strong group only because they borrow members from Chingsu District. So, what if the two places are attacked simultaneously? Wouldn’t they be fighting each other over the strong men to defend their respective territories? When that happens, I’m sure the conflict between Oscar and Lee Mu Fei will grow even bigger.” Emma smiled behind the mask.

“Actually, things would be easier to do if we had continuously increased the conflict between the two of them. Your group members aren’t that many either. I think it would be great if we could frame Oscar so that he would look worst in Lee Mu Fei’s eyes. It would have been even better if the two of them had attacked each other from the start.” Rachel added.

Marcel and his two men looked amazed at the two Blacks who were revealing their plans. It seemed they would rather use their brains than muscles to carry out missions.

“You two really are like snakes,” Marcel muttered as he shook his head slowly.

But the two Blacks didn’t seem to care about the opinions of the men around them.

“Oh.. right,” Emma muttered as she looked at Marcel, “Do you guys have any IT specialists here? Something like hackers,” she asked.

Emma remembered how Kathy got much information from the internet about the Hell Gate group at that time. But of course, she couldn’t ask Kathy for help again this time because the girl didn’t even know what the Creeper was. At that time, Kathy was able to find out about the Hell Gate group because they wanted to find out about the criminals who hurt Poppy, their best friend.

“We have someone who might be of use,” Kenny said.

Then they all walked out of the meeting room and down to the floor that led to a hallway with many doors like a hotel. It was a dormitory for the RJC members. They walked quite a distance and stopped in front of a door which had its distinct paint. Where others had brown doors, this one had a black painted door.

Kenny knocked on the door, “Danis! It’s me,” he exclaimed.

A few seconds later, the door opened with a long hair bespectacled man showed up. It was a fairly dark room, but the light from the blue and green LED strip lights shone from the corner of the room.

“Good evening, Boss!” The bespectacled man looked down.

“You have something to do. Let us in,” Kenny said.

The guy named Danis immediately opened the door wide, turned on the light and leaned against the wall to let the five people in. He was a bit surprised when he saw two men in all black clothes and strange masks, like the characters in the game.

“He is Danis Ridegrey. He will help you with the internet or computer stuff,” Kenny said to both Blacks.

Danis immediately understood what was this all about. Although he never went down to the battle, he was always updated on each group’s mission. Danis was in charge of being an information seeker in the digital world for RJC.
