Chương 107: Tying Up Loose Ends (3)

"Oh, but what about all that power you've amassed so far?" Lachlan asked in a condescending tone. "Just because you said it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to do what you said. There's also the chance your son could go behind your back and seek revenge without your notice."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't have the chance to even try seeking revenge," Joseph desperately said. "I know another way I could compensate the family. How about I get all my subordinates to work for the food truck, including my son; this would not only spread its influence but force my son to busy himself with something other than revenge."

Lachlan didn't expect that suggestion, the thought hadn't even crossed his mind. Standing back up Lachlan said, "Alright, you have yourself a deal. I won't kill either your son nor you then you and your organisation can work for the Choripán Reyes. Also, if anyone does give you any troubles just tell them you have the backing of the Bloodied Wings."

"Bloodied Wings? Is that the name of your group?" Joseph asked in confusion, he hadn't thought that the group could be apart of an organisation. He then stood back up cautiously, but he still stood in front of Lachlan rather respectfully with a bright smile.

"Bloodied Wings? The Bloodied Wings?! No wonder you looked so similar," One of the guards surrounding the two broke out of character. "You're apparently an organisation whose power is equal to that of the Guardians, it's also said that you have a rather tight relationship with the Sea Guardians."

"That powerful?" Joseph asked in shock. Although he might not know who the Bloodied Wings were who wouldn't know about the Guardians, the Sky and Land Guardians have bases set up around the world, including Argentina.

"Oh, so one of you has heard about us," Lachlan said joyfully. After spending a bit of time in front of such a large crowd without a single response he thought their name hadn't reached their ears. Even though they were the reason there was such a large cultural change.

"Of course, my daughter is one of the mutated children and it brought us a lot of grief. Your organisation force the authorities to accept the fact that they're humans as well; meaning we can bring her outside without having to constantly look over our shoulders," The guard explained happily with a bright smile. His emotions could be seen on his face, he was grateful to Lachlan and the Bloodied Wings.

Lachlan felt a bit of pride rush through him, his group was the reason they were able to do that. This was one of the first times he's seen someone outside their island that's grateful for their effort, mainly due to them never actually leaving the island but that didn't matter.

"I'm glad I could help, so would you agree to work for Choripán Reyes as compensation?" Lachlan asked in a friendly tone.

"Of course, to be honest, I never liked this tyrant stuff anyway. I only decided to do it since other jobs were far too risky; if the situation with my daughter was found out there's nothing to stop them from telling officials. While this job doesn't about my family's situation, neither do they care about who they hire," The guard explained. "I just didn't know what else to do after I quit, I don't have a lot of qualifications so I didn't know what to do."

"Suppose you can learn to cook here, haha," said Lachlan as he laughed. Turning to the family he remembered that the parents had been badly injured, "I suppose that your first task as a new employee would be to get these two to the nearest hospital for medical attention."

The guard happily nodded, the ran up to the parents before looking at a few of the surrounding guards. They all came over and helped him carry the parents away, Valentina just sat there, mouth agape as her face was still a mess from the tears.

Turning to Joseph, Lachlan presented a cheerful smile. "So, I'm guessing you'll agree to work for Choripán Reyes as well? You would say you would do anything to make up for it after all."

"Of course I will, however, my only issue is that I might not be able to get all my subordinates to work for Choripán Reyes. Although there may be many that won't mind, there will be just as many that don't want to," Joseph explained.

"If they don't want to do it then fire them. If even after hearing about Bloodied Wing's involvement with the matter they still don't agree with it, then just fire them," Lachlan said harshly. "After you do this you'll be a subsidiary group for the Bloodied Wings, what more backing could you want than that."

Although Lachlan spoke proudly he knew there were plenty of other forces that'll be equally good to have their backing. Ones such as the Researchers United or Explorers Guild, either one of them and you'll be set for life.

"I'll go inform my subordinates immediately, now can you please hold your end of the bargain and stop your friends from killing my son?" Joseph asked.

"Of course, I'll make sure your son isn't harmed," said Lachlan as he disappeared from the spot, everyone in the surrounding area felt a strong gust of wind blow past them.

Joseph breathed in deeply as he calmed his heart, he felt as though he just ran 1000 kilometres by just negotiating with Lachlan. Just the pressure Lachlan gave off by staring at him sent shivers down his spine, but he couldn't break character.

He turned towards Valentina who was still rather shocked by everything that just happened. He took a few steps towards her but Valentina scurried back in fright. Joseph grasped his hands and bowed, "I'll terribly sorry for everything I've done to both you and your family, you may place the entire blame on me but I do hope you forgive my subordinates; they were only followed my orders."

Joseph apologised in a gentle tone, a caring tone that someone would use for the ones they cared about. Although slightly unobservant, Joseph cared about his people, that much could be said.

Slightly hesitant, Valentina dragged herself closer to Joseph. "It's alright. Not that it's alright to terrorise people, but I understand you weren't even the one actually creating these orders from what Lachlan said about your wife."

"I'm thankful you understand, but part of the blame will still fall on my shoulders. After all, I did have the power to reject the orders since no one knew she was the actual leader; if she came out furious and spilled everything everyone would likely believe me more then her," Joseph explained regretfully. "But I didn't want to lose the backing of the family behind her nor did I want to get on their bad side. They're a family that runs some of the shadiest businesses around the world. Drugs, assassinations, sex trafficking, you name it they've done it."

"So what's the family's name?" Valentina asked. "It would be best to warn the others about them, wouldn't it?"

"The only problem is I don't know the name of the family," Joseph explained. "All I know is how much power they have since I've had to work with their subordinates before, all of which are both incredibly strong and dangerous."

"Do you have any ideas?" Valentina asked. She felt concerned knowing that there's an unknown power that might be aiming for Lachlan's head.

Joseph shook his head, "I don't have any idea, all we need to know is that they're dangerous and they might be targetting Bloodied Wings. The only problem is they'll have to deal with the consequences of offending Bloodied Wings."

"Suppose you're right, but we'll tell them later anyway, just to make sure they know for sure," Valentina said.

Joseph nodded in agreement.

...

In a hospital a group of people were waiting patiently in front of a surgery door, they were sitting down rocking around on the chairs. Their worries were well deserved, when the doctor finished analysing Zhang's condition the only thing he said is that Zhang is lucky to be alive.

The amount of damage done to Zhang is horrendous, they were deep wounds that almost ripped apart his organs. Any deeper, degrees either left or right and Zhang could possibly be dead. It's already a surprise he's still alive with so much blood loss.

Fortunately, because he was still alive the doctor was confident they would be able to fix him up. Zhang would need to take a while off to rest and heal, but he could be saved. Unfortunately, because they were working so close to some important organs, any mistakes could lead the Zhang's death.

Which is why they were worried sick, Brianna felt worse then she's ever felt before.

All of a sudden they noticed Zoe and Simon walking towards them, they weren't walking fast or anything but rather casually. They had cold expressions plastered across their faces, Zoe looked rather hesitant as well while Simon looked fine.

Joe ran up to Zoe, he was worried about the expressions they were making. "What's going on? Is everything alright?"

"Everything is fine, we're just here to deal with another matter," Zoe said coldly. Zoe and Simon had spent a good while getting some answers from the guard outside the door, fortunately, after Lachlan was finished with him they were able to get all the information they needed out of his mouth.

Joe was surprised by Zoe's cold attitude, "So what's that matter then?"

"Well, Thomas has also been placed in this hospital for medical care, we're just here to finish him off," Zoe explained without breaking out of character, giving Joe a cold stare and tone of voice.

"Thomas?" Joe asked in confusion, he suddenly remembered what happened before in front of the food truck. "Oh! That Thomas. Where is he?" Joe's tone changed, it sounded harsher and colder.

"A few floors above," Zoe explained.

"What are you talking about? We're on the top floor already," Joe was confused. When they were being escorted up the elevator he clearly remembered going up to the highest floor.

"The top floor can't be reached through the escalator, nor will it ever be used for people other than the powerful. Fortunately, through some rough means we managed to get the key that'll lead us up some more," Zoe explained as she pulled out a key from her pocket.

"Alright, lead the way," Joe gestured for them to continue. Zoe and Simon walked past swiftly and a majority of the group followed along. Brianna, Phoebe, and Georgia decided to stay back, just in case anything happened.

The group walked to the end of the wall way when Zoe brought out the keycard and brushed it against the wall. When she did it the wall broke apart, leading them to an elevator. They all squeezed inside before clicking one of the only two floors available.

They were the VIP button and a black button. They clicked the VIP one since the black button most likely represented the boss on the top floor. Although they wouldn't mind seeing the boss for this hospital, they had more important matters to attend to.

Once they reached the floor the elevator opened up and they were greeted with a rather pleasant sight. The walls and floor were spotless, not a single spec of dirt in sight. There were dark blue marble tiles covering the floor and a bit of the wall. The rest of the wall however was covered in purple tiles. Along all the floor tiles was a thin lining of gold, while the wall had small but greatly detailed patterns made of gold.

"Pretty fancy place," Simon remarked at the sight. The rest of the group nodded in agreement.

"Well, I suppose it's time to do what we came here for," said Simon as he began walking forward, the rest of the group followed along.

They went along the hallway peeking into rooms, most of them were completely empty. When they did come across an occupied room it wasn't of the person they were looking for, rather, it was an old man. He was staring idly through the crystal clear window, down at the town.

They quickly closed the door and continued their search until they finally reached Thomas' room. He was fast asleep, covered in band-aids, especially around the face and arm. Although Lachlan never hit Thomas in the face, when he smashed Thomas' hand down the face went along with it.

Zoe walked up to Thomas silently before she was just standing by his bed. Just as she was about to finish Thomas she heard a shout from the window. It suddenly broke and a figure came flying through.

"Phew, fortunately I made it in time" It was Lachlan.

Chương 108: Strange Hospital

"What the hell Lachlan?! I thought you agreed that we needed to kill him!" Zoe was shocked by Lachlan's sudden appearance but was also slightly annoyed. It took her a bit to get herself into character, preparing herself mentally to kill Thomas.

"Yeah I know I agreed to the plan but there have been changes but I've struck a deal with Thomas' father Joseph. Basically we spare there lives and they now work under us," Lachlan explained quickly, only taking a single breath between the sentences.

"But, what if they decided to get their revenge? Now they'll know almost everything about us," Simon butted in to argue against Lachlan's decision, he didn't want anything interfering with their operations.

"Don't worry, they won't be entirely working on anything important. Rather, they'll be working for Choripán Reyes as compensation for what they did to the owners. We'll be using them to get information, as we spread the Choripán Reyes business across the globe, setting up a food truck at every major city," Although he hadn't actually explained all that to Joseph, he shouldn't mind, they were just being used for something slightly more useful.

Simon stopped to think about it, he still had some concerns. "I suppose that would be useful, but is it really worth letting the family live?"

"Hm, well it would be a lot easier getting all of Joseph's subordinates to follow along, but there would kind of be the danger. That is unless we scare him into knowing his place," Lachlan suddenly had some inspiration from when he frightened that one spoiled Land Guardian leader. "I'll use Aaron to scare him to death, that way he'll be too scared to do anything that'll aggravate us."

"Okay, but we'll only keep him alive if he is actually scared. Remember, it might take a bit of effort to get rid of that ridiculous personality of his," Simon said. He didn't think Thomas' outrageous personality would be easy to change, although there's no reason to not try.

"What are you doing in here?" They heard a frightened voice to the side of them. Thomas had awoken from his slumber due to their arguing, he had heard a bit about what they were talking about the only real thing that took his attention was the fact that the people in front of them were planning something.

Unfortunately, he couldn't move all that well since he had been strapped up. He was also on some strong pain killers, his arm hadn't been fixed yet since the surgery needed for it was difficult and the only doctors that had the ability to fix it were currently on their way.

"Oh speak of the devil, he's awake," Lachlan said joyfully and jokingly. Leaning over Thomas Lachlan presented a devilish smile, "You won't need to worry about a thing, all you need to know is that you'll be working for us now. The only problem with that is that you might seek revenge, so we're just going to scare that idea out of you."

"What are you talking about, if my mum finds out about what you're doing you'll all be dead!" Thomas panicked and shouted at them.

Lachlan lightly chuckled. "What are you talking about, your mother won't be doing anything to us anymore, neither will your dad."

Thomas' eyes constricted, his mouth opened wide from shock. "Did you kill them?"

Not Thomas was frightened of the group in front of them. His mum and dad were his support beans, without them his entire world was crumbling down. He felt his mind collapsing as he thought about everything that'll happen from this point onwards.

But before he could think too hard about it Lachlan interrupted his thoughts. "No and yes. You see, your mum wasn't too happy with what we did to you so she attempted to kill us. Unfortunately, she was weaker than us and we did indeed kill her. Your dad, on the other hand, was much more rational than your mum and presented a deal. You and everyone that works for your dad will now work under us," Lachlan explained with a bright smile. Lachlan's smile sudden changed to a darker one. "So, since you're now going to be working for us we'll need to make sure you won't try anything that'll harm us."

Thomas began panicking as his heartbeat sped up. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's no need to do that; since my dad agreed to the deal I promise I won't do anything to break it. So can you all just go back and let me recover."

Lachlan let out a chilling chuckle. "What are you on about, words aren't soul binding but what we'll be doing will certainly affect your soul."

'Come on out Aaron, let's put that aura to some fun use' Lachlan said to Aaron with a cheerful tone. He wanted to see Thomas' face when he comes against the aura, whether or not he'll be able to resist it or not. 'Who am I kidding, he won't be able to last a second'

Aaron appeared behind Lachlan, he tightly fit against the wall, bending its body partially around the bed. Aaron had his head hovering over Thomas, he gave Thomas a terrifying look as he stared intensely into each other's eyes.

'Master, I believe this human has soiled himself' Aaron explained formally. Lachlan felt like bursting out with laughter, but then he smelt it. When he heard what Aaron said he just assumed he meant pissed himself, but in reality, Thomas had shit himself.

"Oh that's just nasty," Lachlan waved his hand in front of his face, trying to block the smell but it didn't work. "Alright, I'll leave Aaron in here with you and we'll all go out and wait. Sound good?"

Thomas shook his head vigorously, "No, please don't leave me with this monster, I don't want to be alone with this monster."

The group ignored his pleas and went outside the door before close it behind them. Lachlan leaned against the wall. 'Alright Aaron, do your thing'.

Everyone felt an overwhelming pressure envelope the entire building, they felt the air get heavier as their bodies were getting pushed to the ground. Yet they weren't even the ones feeling the full force, Thomas was.

Inside the room, Thomas has long since passed out cold, foam coming out of his mouth as his eyes looked as though they were rolled back. The stench smashed against the noses, Lachlan appeared next to the windows and opened them up.

"So what are we going to do now?" Simon walked up to Lachlan and stuck his head out the window to breath. The rest of the group followed, all sticking their heads out. From the outside, the scene looked oddly funny, with a row of heads just conversing outside a window.

Lachlan shrugged his shoulders. "Not sure, probably wait here for a bit to make sure everything runs smoothly and then go back with the air stones."

"Oh yeah, I almost completely forgot about the air stones," Chloe said. It wasn't just her though, most of the group forgot about what they were doing here. Since the entire time they've been off the island they've been busy dealing with issues.

Zoe turned to Lachlan. "Just wondering, how did you know which room Thomas would be in?"

"What are you talking about, there's no way Thomas would be on any floor other than the top. From there I just used my eyesight to spot you all out, wasn't too hard considering almost all the rooms are empty," Lachlan explained, confused as to why Zoe would ask that.

"Top floor?" She turned her head to look up and noticed the roof was really right above them. She turned towards the others. "Then where does that other button lead to?"

Lachlan got confused when she mentioned another button, he assumed he was referring to an elevator since it's probably how they got here in the first place. He tilted his head in confusion, "What other button?"

"There are two elevators, one that people normally use and one for people with high status. One the one for people of high status there's a completely black button. There were two other buttons on the elevator, VIP and just a pitch black one," Zoe explained.

"How many buttons were on the elevator you used when you brought Zhang here?" Lachlan turned to asked Joe. If what Zoe said was correct then there might be more to the hospital than they thought.

"Well there were 7, we went up to the 7th floor where Zhang is currently being operated on," Joe explained.

"That's odd, there are only 5 floors in total from what I saw, including the one we're on right now," Lachlan explained. The rest of the group got more and more confused when they were piecing everything together.

"Could some of the floors be secret ones? But then again, why would they put secret floors on the main elevator, that'll just be too much of a risk in case someone accidentally presses the wrong button," Lachlan couldn't see the reasoning behind that.

"Maybe those secret floors aren't as important, but maybe that black button is. Should we go scope it out?" Chloe asked for everyone's opinion. Although it was obvious they were all going to say yes, there's no way they could leave this mystery unsolved.

"How about we scope out those other secret floors first before we move onto the black button, that way we could get an idea as to how dangerous the situation we're getting ourselves into really is," Lachlan suggested.

"Sure, I suppose we can save the best for last," Zoe said joyfully. Her nostrils began to twitch, the stench from Thomas had reached them. "Let's go do that now, I can't bear being here for another second."

The rest followed, Lachlan quickly unsummoned Aaron and walked out the door, closing it behind him. He would come back to deal with Thomas later after they deal with the mysterious floors.

He walked down the hallway, the rest of the group was already in the elevator waiting for Lachlan to reach them. When he walked in they pointed towards the black button, Lachlan noticed something odd about.

Leaning down he took a closer look, through his good vision he noticed thin marks against the button. They looked as fine as the hair on someone's head, yet they left a mark across the button.

Lachlan turned to the group. "Now I really think we should check out the other floors, there's no way something normal can leave those marks."
