Chapter 134: 134
The black sedan pulled up to the gates as the guards at the front moved to intercept it . By the make of the car, they couldn't be sure if it wasn't an important guest inside, so they didn't get brusque so quickly . It was wiser to find out who they were before dealing the pain, if necessary .
"Good day, might I know who you are and what business you have?" A guard asked as he brought his face close to the driver's window to get a clear look as to who was inside .
When he looked at the back, he only saw Draco sitting there languidly . In fact, the driver himself never even realized when Eva disappeared .
The moment the guard saw Draco though, his face blanched . After all, the various mafia groups had received the intel on what he had done at the Sanguigno Brother's lot and about how he almost single-handedly ruined The Cardinals .
Even the most minute personal had received a headshot of Draco and a warning to not mess with the man but to report to their superiors immediately .
The scariest part wasn't limited to what he had done, it was his age and his abilities . A Control master at such a young age meant that his future was limitless .
Offending such a power was foolish . Even the Cartel would hesitate once, twice and three times before making the decision .
"P-Please enter, Mister Draco . I'll inform the boss about your arrival . " The guard stammered weakly .
The other one who had stayed behind saw his mate turn back looking spooked and peeked into the car himself . As soon as he realized that the person sitting at the back was Draco, his face changed and he hurriedly opened the gate .
Why would they do that without reporting up? Because The Boyz - and any mafia group except the likes of the Sanguigno Brothers - were only tied together by fear and benefits . These ordinary guards weren't loyal, they were just scared of the outcome if they failed .
As such, when they met a person who could kill them and was much more terrifying than their employer, what would they do? Stay their grounds in the face of death?
No, they would rather extend their lives by even a few moments and deal with the aftermath then, instead of accepting a foregone conclusion .
Draco just smiled as the black sedan drove into the yard of the manor, parking itself near the fountain close to the main doors .
He slowly departed the vehicle, stretching himself lightly as he walked to the entrance . His every step was measured and there was a certain compelling confidence in his gait that made him seem omnipotent .
Before he could enter, the double doors opened by themselves, as a bunch of maids stepped out . They were mostly young and pretty, showing that The Boyz mafia group had high tastes for their…'help' .
Their eyes sparkled when they saw Draco and felt his aura, but they still bowed treating him as the legendary guest they were told to expect .
Draco ignored them and walked right up towards the topmost floor of the manor . He passed many rooms, and more than a few stationed and fully-armed footmen, before he reached the main living room of the mansion .
All of the footmen had their eyes on him, but he walked along confidently like their existence was nothing more than floating dust . This added to the effect he emitted, reducing their courage and solidarity .
Draco had this door opened for him as well, and a more mature maid bowed as she invited him to enter . As he did so, he was admitted to a room with more than 20 men, only one of them seated on a couch while the others stood about the room, fully armed and capable .
Draco wasn't prompted by anyone before he plopped down on the opposite couch and started chewing some of the snacks on the table . Even though this was low-quality food - relative to Lineage members - he still enjoyed the taste of eating such stuff .
This made the man opposite him frown deeply . He disliked Draco's nonchalance since there was a decorum for these kinds of situations, one Draco did not even pretend to care about, but he could only tolerate it for now .
As could be expected, this entrance they created for him was supposed to display their might and intimidate him, but clearly, it had failed miserably . Draco didn't appear moved in the slightest .
This increased the pressure on the leader of The Boyz, as he was uncertain of exactly what Draco's end goal was . Did he come to form a partnership? Did he come to mediate or negotiate on behalf of someone?
Or did he come to conquer?
Draco's behavior indicated all of the three and yet none . That was why they were so stifled . How were they supposed to receive him if they didn't even have a clue of what he wanted?
The leader of The Boyz was extremely average . He wasn't handsome nor was he ugly, he was the type of fellow you would see when you choose 'default' in a character creation menu .
His height looked to be 5"10, making him even more average . He had light brown eyes and neatly combed black hair . His skin was quite pale and his body was a little too slim, which were the only noticeable characteristics .
He wore a simple blue long-sleeved shirt that was tucked into his black trousers . His black-tie contrasted with his black loafers, giving him a more formal look .
He poured himself some whiskey and drank it slowly while staring at Draco . Draco meanwhile continued biting on the snacks while staring right back at him with an amused smirk .
They both understood that the first person to talk would admit to having the lower hand, so they were content to wait it out . Draco especially felt relaxed just chewing idly while having a chance to think about his plans going forward .
Sigh, he had been too busy to get a spare moment and now this fellow granted him a few minutes to think . Why should he break the silence if so?
Meanwhile, the leader of The Boyz wasn't as comfortable . His forehead began to glisten with sweat as he continued to nonchalantly drink his alcohol, but the pressure was mounting on him .
Draco wasn't a sub-human, he was half of a True Human, or a High Human . The kind of aura he emitted was very distressing for normal people, but he usually kept it locked in .
However, he naturally released it on full blast at this moment . It wasn't contained to the leader of The Boyz, but the various men and women in the room were suffering greatly as well .
They couldn't help but think about the rumors concerning Control masters and felt like all of those rumors were a pittance compared to experiencing the real thing .
Of course, they had confused the characteristics of Control, thinking that the effects of his bloodline were part of it, which Draco wasn't bothered by . If they attributed all the crazy things he could do to Control, then that was even better .
The leader of The Boyz saw the suffering of his people and knew the jig was up . Only an inbred idiot would pretend that everything was fine if everything around was on fire .
He sighed and started the conversation with seriousness . "Welcome to our humble abode, young lad Draco . You can call me Derek and I am the leader of the glorious The Boyz group . "
With a thin smile, he leaned into his couch . "I wonder what the purpose of your presence here is?"
Draco could only chuckle . It was clear that this Derek fellow was prudent enough, but he simply refused to eat a loss, so he had tried to suppress Draco with words .
"Derek, right? You're the leader of this group? Not bad, you've done a pretty great job bringing them up . There is discipline and skill in the movements of your people, which shows why The Boyz are the number 1 group in this city . "
Draco wasn't even lying or trying to flatter, just stating a simple fact . These men here were slightly less capable than the Sanguigno Brothers in terms of skill . That was why Draco didn't bring any of them along, as it would just be killing them .
Hearing Draco's honest praise, Derek sighed with relief and became much more amicable . He guessed that Draco came here to ally with them, which was the best possible outcome .
When he thought about the benefits of partnering with a young Control master and his budding group that contained the Sanguigno Brothers, he couldn't help but feel his heartthrob .
The Boyz would be climbing the ranks on the national scale soon!
As such, his reply was very soft . "Haha, thank you, Draco . We tried hard to reach our current level and are only just slightly proud of what we have achieved . Do you have any plans for us?"
Draco nodded . "That's right . I would like to obtain a certain product from your mafia group, preferably in bulk . "
Ah! Did he want a trade negotiation? What a great day this was!
Derek was overjoyed . Even with his illegal trade and usual business, he would never be able to earn as much as a Control master could . He could literally make so much money off this deal as long as he negotiated well .
His inner businessman raised his greedy face as his smile became very… dangerous . Any buyer who saw that smile should hide their wallet and flee from the seller, otherwise, they would cry tears of blood after the sale .
"How would Brother Draco like to handle the deal? Should we use cash, bonds or barter?" Derek asked smoothly .
Draco just laughed, an act which startled Derek, but he quickly joined in the laughter, even though he didn't know what exactly was funny about what he said .
"I never said anything about making a deal or a payment . I'm here to take all your 1st Grade NuSmoothies and you can kowtow to me for allowing you to live afterward . " Draco stated with a friendly smile .
