Far from Desert street, inside a room in a magnificent building. There was a group of men sitting around a table. They all dressed in a black suit with a red tie. More also, there was a notable tattoo on their neck. Discussing.

Shortly, a young man dressed in a black suit with a bow tie walk in. He walked briskly toward the man sitting in the main seat.

The young man whispered something in the man’s ear. Also, he shows him something on his Elementor phone.

The man’s expression turned grimed when he saw the picture on the phone. The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense. The men could feel that something was wrong with their boss.

What happened?

“You can go. I will handle it.” The boss, husky-voiced, reverberated. Obviously, the man was the boss of the Viper gang in Vulture City. He was the real Viper. Every man in the viper gang pale to his brutality and ruthlessness.

He had stepped on the bones of human skulls to reach his current position. Everyone feared him. Though he was not the strongest man in Vulture City. He had his share of power in the city.

“Boss, what happened.” One man asked in apprehension.

“Some group of men kills our men in that ghetto street. What is the name again…..Hmm… Desert street.” The Boss gritted his teeth.

What!

“Who dares!” All the men shouted in fury. Their eyes turned bloodshot, veins protruding out from their forehead.

“We don’t know yet.” The Boss exhaled. He looked through the transparent window. “Get all your men to Desert street and find everything that could tell us who the mastermind the killing.”

“Yes!”

They stood up, leaving the room in annoyance. Their eyes various conflicting expressions. They couldn’t understand who had the guts to attack them in Vulture City.

“I will make the person responsible for the killing regret being born.” One of the men stumped his foot on the floor.

Back in the meeting room, the Boss furrowed, contemplating. ‘The desert street had not been peaceful since the past few days. What going on?’

“If they want war! I’ll give them just that.” The Boss snorted, looking through the transparent glance with a menacing gaze.

In a room, Emma was currently looking curiously around the room. After eating dinner with Amanda and her mother. Amanda invited him to her room. The room was neatly arranged.

The room was painted blue, with lots of picture frames on the wall. A cupboard was by the side, a single bed in the middle, and a shelf with books arranged neatly took another corner of the room. There was a reading table with a single chair by the window.

[Hmm! This is a neat freak. Everything is absolutely clean.]

‘Yeah, you are right.’

[Not like someone that needs a daily reminder to clean his room. Yet everything still ends up an absolute disaster. Tsk!]

‘Um-hmm. Some systems could not appreciate how neat I am. Humph! Jealous. Because they couldn’t do themselves.’

[…. Ungrateful son of a junk…. ]

‘Ungrateful daughter of a code.’

Creak!

The door was opened and Amanda entered. “Sorry for keeping you waiting. Besides, don’t mind my room. Everything is quite old here. There’s nothing new to see.”

“I’m not here to look at your room or judge it. But I can say you’re something.” Emma smiled. “I mean it in a good way.”

[Tsk… So dumb.]

“Thank you,” Amanda replied, sitting at the edge of the bed. “I know you follow me to my home for a reason. May I know the reason now?”

“Why did you think I come here for a reason?” Emma asked calmly.

[Do you need to be a genius to realize that you have a motif… Tsk. Everybody wasn’t as stupid as you.]

‘You’re fucking stupid. I know envy me right from the beginning. Humph!’

“If you don’t have a reason, why would you come to my house. I believe you have a lot to do for your new company. Right?” Amanda answered seriously. “Moreover, I won’t have allowed you into my home for no reason. And to my room like that.”

[You see… A girl with sense…. Bruh! empty head.]

Emma: ‘…’

Emma chuckled. “You’re right. I’m quite busy. So, let not waste our time anymore.” His voice turned serious. “The name of the company is CommandIntel. We deal with information and intelligence. We buy and sell intelligence. Confidential or not. Everything will be done with CommandIntel.” Emma paused.

“Can I get some water? I don’t like talking too much.”

“Sure.” Amanda sprang up and went out of the room. Shortly, Amanda returned with a cup of water. Taking a sip, Emma exhaled.

“You will receive every detail about the company on your mobile. It would be hectic as of tomorrow. You should be prepared. You have to face the camera for a promotional video. Also, you will need to move to the main street later this week. And you have to learn to face many challenges without backing down.” Emma finished his monologue. “Any question?”

Amanda was dazed when she heard the summary of everything she would do. She couldn’t believe the fatty was serious about his company. After a few seconds, she recovered from the overwhelming euphoria she was in. Amanda cleared her throat.

“Will need I need to employ people.?”

“Yea. Maybe ten to fifteen as a start.” Emma took another sip.

“I’m scared,” Amanda murmured.

“You have to. But with preparation, everything will be alright. More so, you aren’t alone. Anything you don’t understand. Just call me.” Emma assured her.

“Thank you.” Amanda looked at Emma straight in the eyes.

Emma nodded.

It was already late in the evening. Emma was walking back to the sanctuary. He removed the hood over his head and let the cool breeze blew to his face.

Zeus: ‘Preferable building had been found. CommandIntel had been registered. The materials needed by Amanda had been set to her house… Waiting for more order.’

“Good. What about the app?”

‘80% completed’

Hmm!

Suddenly, Emma’s head became heavy. He was finding it difficult to stay conscious. “What the fuck is happening to me”

[….System upgrade will commence in 10min. I advise host to find a suitable position to relax…..]

What!

“Fuck I need to get to the sanctuary immediately.”
