Chapter 95: Smith Kidnapping Planning
And then he suddenly started laughing a loud booming laugh.
And he said "Good for him. He got what he deserved. Now all of you can stop paying attention to him. He is no longer a threat. And now you can all pay attention to the new case I told you about. We have to kill a boy. And this order has come from the very top of the underworld. Do you all remember what the name of that target was? Yes Smith. He is just a school boy."
Hearing this new order all the men present there were ready. They were ready to hunt down their new target. Bholu Bhola then started eating his food again dismissing the topic as if it were already done.
But none of them knew. None of them had any idea what was about to happen to all of them. They were celebrating the death of a ghost while a true monster was preparing to descend upon them.
All those people were easily enjoying this evening.
They were laughing and eating completely relaxed.
But they did not know what was going to happen to them in the near future. All these people did not know. That tonight would be the last night for all of them.
Just then another man who was standing a little distance away. He made a serious expression on his face.
He looked at Bholu Bhola and said "Boss this could be a great opportunity for us. We can use this new high-profile job to grow from just a small gang in the city. We can spread our influence throughout this whole province. And we can even increase our branches throughout this whole country. After this our influence will be in many different places. We could become a true power."
Bholu Bhola who was in the middle of eating his food. He turned his attention to that man.
And looking at him with a very angry expression he said "Don't you dare teach me what to do. I have been doing this work since you were a little boy." Saying this he picked up a large knife from the table next to him.
And he pointed it at that man to scare him. The man who was his own trusted companion.
That man got very scared. He put both his hands forward in a pleading gesture. And he was begging his boss for forgiveness. "No no boss that's not what I meant at all," he said his voice trembling.
"We all know that you are the supreme leader. And that one day you will rule the entire underworld." Hearing this praise Bholu Bhola could not stop himself. And he gave a very big and satisfied smile.
A smile which looked very creepy on his fat face. And he said "You are saved today. But you should remember this from next time." He then went back to his meal as if nothing had happened.
Just then one of his other men spoke up. "But boss why do we need to listen to them at all?" This was another man. A younger more ambitious gangster who was standing behind the others.
Then the boss also looked at that man. And taking a deep breath he said "Just like you said I also believe the same. I came to rule this underworld. Not to listen to the orders of any other man."
Then the second man also said "Then why are you listening to him so clearly? And that too just to catch a single school boy. We have to kidnap him. And then take him to another place. Where some other people are waiting for him. We don't do this kind of work. We kidnap people. And then we ask for money. Why don't we also do this with this boy? We can take money from both sides. First we can get it from the boy's parents. And then we can also get it from the other party as well."
As soon as the boss heard this suggestion from his man he looked at the man with a very angry expression. He said "You don't know how dangerous those people are." But then calming his anger down he started eating his food again.
He wanted to end this conversation. And he said "There will be no more talk about this now. We will do the job as we were told." He would not let his men know that he was also afraid.
But still there was a lot of confusion and surprise on the faces of those people.
Because their boss Bholu Bhola was not the kind of man who would just listen to anyone. He was a proud and arrogant leader.
They had all understood that whoever the man was who had given this order to their boss. He must be in a very powerful position. Or he must be a very big person in the underworld.
The boss could not let this topic come up again under any circumstances. He could not allow his authority to be questioned. Because he knew that if those people who were working under him had even a little bit of doubt about their boss's strength.
Then they could lose their loyalty to him.
That is why the boss was also telling all of them to just leave this topic alone. But a seed of confusion had been planted in the minds of all the people present there. A confusion which would not go away so easily.
The boss also knew this. And he also knew that people who would not agree with him just like this. He had not become their boss just by being nice. He had clawed his way to the top through violence and fear.
Then he said in his mind "It seems I have to set an example. I have to remind them all who is in charge." And taking his attention away from his food he looked at that man. He looked at his own man who had first started this topic.
The one who had suggested they extort money from both sides. There was still a look of confusion and defiance on the man's face.
The boss who was sitting on the table next to him.
He slowly and casually took his hand to the large knife that was lying there. He did it in a way so that no one would notice what he was doing. And he held the handle of the knife firmly.
He thought to himself "You were the one who asked the question. Now with you I will regain everyone's loyalty again. I will regain it with fear." He would use this man to send a clear message to all the others. Disobedience would not be tolerated.
