CHAPTER 45

Knowing fully well what the second demon would do, Jay tensed up in his seat and closed his eyes. There was no stopping Xander, so he could only brace himself for Sky's taunting. 'I am doomed with these two, aren't I?' Jay thought.

While Jay lamented in his mind, Xander out a call through to Sky. Immediately the call came through, Sky's stern voice rang out.

The phone was on speaker, so Jay could very much hear him and immediately the two of them became serious as well.

"Xander. I was just about to call you."

"What is wrong?"

"He is here."

"Here, in Star Cross City?" Xander asked, taken aback by the sudden news.

"Yes." Sky's reply was short and straight to the point. It was obvious that he was not ready for jokes and the information that he was passing was really important.

"How come? What were they doing that I just got informed about it?"

"I think he came in on a low key."

"Fine. I would go to him."

"Relax. I would have men reach out to him. He cannot just come into the city without permission. The last time, could you find anything?" Sky asked.

"Not much but the new bar was partly funded by them." Xander's face no longer held the smile that it once held but a certain kind of darkness enveloped the once bright eyes.

"I see."

"What are you going to do?" Jay asked from where he was sitting as he noticed Xander's mood changing.

"Go there myself. They breached. I would pay him a visit."

"Okay, we would come with you," Sky suggested.

"Yeah. We all would go. You never can be too careful with them."

"No. Watch things and have our men be on the lookout in other cities. Once they notice anything strange, they should report back ASAP!"

"Sure."

"When do you plan on going there? I heard he is meeting with a businessman at Crab's Royal."

"Alright. I would be there."

"Very well."

Beep-beep!!

––––––

By the next day, Xander set out as planned and head for Crab's Royals.

When he got to the meeting place, he was greeted with a bunch of black sedans with tinted windows and did not need a second telling that the men in question had arrived.

"Bullseye."

Walking majestically towards the entrance of the hotel, he got to the reception and headed straight for the elevator ignoring the yells of the receptionist.

"Hello, Mr, please wait. You cannot just walk in here like that."

Xander ignored her and advanced forward. Just as the receptionist picked up the phone to put a call through to security, three men dressed in black suits approached her and one of them held her hand holding the telephone.

The look he gave her made her not try and say anything but gently put down the telephone and ended the call.

"Good."

Only those words were enough to instill more than enough fear into her and make her skin to crawl.

She swallowed hard as she watched the men step back while five others walked into the lobby.

The five new guys took their positions while the first threw looked at each other and mover forward.

Just like that, Xander waltzed in and entered the elevator, heading towards the designated room.

Within the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of one of the rooms with the room number...

"419, Tsk what a naughty number, just like its inhabitants."

Without wasting any more time, he touched the dor bell and waited for it to be answered.

Suddenly the sounds of footsteps could be heard coming closer from the other side of the door.

It was time for him to put things in place as they should be.

The moment the door pulled open a bit, Xander kicked it hard and that had caused the door to swing backwards in voce and actually break the nose of the bodyguard that came to answer the door.

Rather than feel fear, he took a step into the room majeatically.

At the ruckus at the door, everyone inside the room turned their heads towards the door.

"What idiot has the right to interrupt my meeting!" One of the two men seated shouted with out any care in the world or waiting to see just who it was.

"Hurry, go check who the jerk is and deal him a good beating of otherwise."

Following the order of his boss, one of the body guards dressed up in a blue and black suit bowed his head to the man and rushed towards where the entrance was.

He was shocked at the sight before him. His colleague was sprawled on the ground holding his bleeding nose with both hands while the perpetuator stood proudly in the center with both his head turned towards a nicely designed painting on the wall.

"Ah, I was wondering when you all would show up but seeing just you, I am disappointed."

"Enh!"
