Chapter 172: The Boss
"It is only now that you remember that I am your boss? Now tell me, what lesson did you plan to teach me? I'm interrupting you? Is that what you think?!" A deep and rough masculine voice came from the other end of the call.
"Sorry boss, I did not know that it was you who had called." Second tiger responded while trying to sound as humble as possible.
The one that he was speaking to right now was none other than the true leader of the tiger gang. It was simply because he was out of the city, that the entire tiger gang was currently under his control.
Second tiger was an ambitious person. And for that reason, it was obvious that he had ever dreamed about taking over the entire tiger gang, especially when he was left to rule the entire gang.
But he understood that it was impossible for him to be able to take over the gang, considering that the strength of the leader of the gang was not just his influence in the gang, but instead, it also depended on his personal strength.
If second tiger was to fight against the leader of the tiger gang, it was impossible for him to be able to win. This was something that had made second tiger be afraid of the leader of the gang, and despite harboring the thoughts of leading the gang in the future, he never dared to reveal it.
"Oh, you did not know that I was the one that was calling? Let me ask you, how did you save my contact on your phone?" The leader of the tiger gang asked with an indifferent voice.
"I saved you as boss, boss. It is just that I did not see the caller ID, and that was the reason why I did not know that it was you. Please forgive me for the mistake that I have made." Second tiger responded.
This was something that he hated the most. He was a person who liked being at the top, and for that reason, he never liked submitting to anybody. But right now, he did not have any other choice but to submit.
He could not rebel at all, as he did not have the capability of rebelling. If he tried something like that right now, it should be asking for death. There would be no suspense, and he would be killed the following day.
After all, the leader of the tiger gang was a cruel person. He was not a person who gave second chances, and every mistake that was made had to be punished. So, in case second tiger tried to betray the leader, it was clear that he was going to be killed immediately.
"Is that so?" The boss asked, before there was a moment of silence. A few seconds later, he continued, "I do know you quite well second tiger. It is completely abnormal of you to react like this. Don't tell me that there is a problem that the gang is encountering during the time that I am away?!"
Second tiger suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. This was it another aspect that he feared about the leader of the tiger gang. This guy was not only strong physically, but he was smart as well.
"We have encountered a small problem, but it should not be difficult for me to be able to handle it." Second tiger responded honestly.
Of course, he did not believe that it was going to be troublesome for him to be able to handle the matter related to Jaden. If he could not beat Jaden in combat, he could simply use the gun and embed a bullet in his brain.
As for the other gang that was targeting the tiger gang, after the previous mission at Vyon bank, that was something that was going to take some time for him to be able to deal with, but it was not that much troublesome to him.
"Is that so? If that is the case, then you better handle it as soon as possible. I don't want to hear any information that the gang has suffered losses, or has lost the clients that trust us.
I would be coming over soon, either in a month or two. The specific time is yet to be determined, but it should be soon. When I come back, I hope that all the troubles would have been handled." The leader of the tiger gang instructed.
"Don't worry about it boss. I should be able to handle everything by the time that you come back. In fact, I should be able to handle it within this week." Second tiger responded.
"An entire week for you to handle this matter? Don't tell me that this is a big problem that involves the entire gang." The boss asked from the other end.
Second tiger suddenly flinched upon hearing the question. What could he do? He could handle the matter related to Jaden quite easily, but the matter relating to the other gang was not something that could be handled within just one day.
He needed time to handle it. After all, it was not as if the other gang was an easy target. Instead, they even had an upper hand in the underworld if the two of them competed against each other.
Additionally, the losses that the tiger gang had suffered in the past few weeks had to be recovered as soon as possible. Again, this was not something that could be recovered in just a single day.
"It is a little troublesome, but not that much. It is just that I want to handle it as efficiently as possible, and that is the reason why it is going to take quite a while." Second tiger responded.
There was yet another moment of silence, before finally, the boss spoke up. "Okay, I don't care about what troubles you have encountered, but make sure that you solve them before I come back. Otherwise, you will definitely not like me when I come back, and you have not solved everything that needs to be dealt with."
"Yes boss." Second tiger responded, before the call ended. At this moment, second tiger was unknowingly soaked in sweat. He did not even realize it, but the tension that he was having when talking to the boss of the tiger gang was not little.
After taking a few deep breaths, he finally managed to calm down. At the same time, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he had already decided that no matter what, he had to complete everything as soon as possible. He could not allow the boss to find anything that was out of place. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for him.
Thinking about it, second tiger immediately made another call. The moment that the call connected, second tiger immediately barked instructions, "Make sure that everything is done within 3 days. Within 3 days, I want everything that I have instructed you to do to be completed. I don't want any excuses. If you fail, you know that they are consequences that you will face."
After saying those words, he immediately hung up. He did not give time for the person at the other end of the call to say anything.
Finally, second tiger managed to calm down after more than 30 minutes. Plans were already in his mind, and all that was left was the execution.
The execution was the only thing that was going to take some time, but second tiger did not think that it was going to take a long time, and by the time that the boss came over, he would be done with everything.
Thinking about that, he decided to put the matter related to Ruby aside at this moment. This was not important to him anymore, considering that if he failed to get Ruby right now, he could get her another time.
Additionally, even if he could not get Ruby, his reputation would only suffer a small blow. But if he failed to correct the things that had gone wrong within the gang, the consequences would be much fatal.
Moreover, even if he could not get Ruby, he could still get another woman. So, there was no need for him to sweat so much on a woman, when there were plenty more women in the world.
Now, the first thing that he had to handle was the gang that was targeting the tiger gang. There was no choice, considering that if he did not handle this matter as soon as possible, the losses that the gang was suffering would continue adding up.
Due to being targeted by the other gang, the tiger gang had been suffering quite some losses recently. Several of the activities being carried by the tiger gang had been affected drastically, and it was impossible for it to carry out many other operations.
Just a second tiger was finally relieved, while relaxing in his small office, there was a commotion at the entrance. Second tiger frown. He did not like this at all.
The previous time that there was a commotion at the entrance of the place that he was at, he ended up losing his finger. And right now, he did not like this, due to the trauma that had been caused by having his finger cut.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, the door to his office was suddenly slammed open. Then, a group of bulky men with tattoos and scars suddenly walked in.
Second tiger immediately recognized who these people were, just by looking at the tattoos that each and every one of them was having. Immediately, his expression changed to the worst.
