Chapter 8 President
Ethan’s mind was literally blown away when he heard Oscar calling Xavier’s name. More than a million things penetrated his mind, he didn’t possibly know what to talk about especially as the stress in his mind was too much. But then, he knows that he has to be caring, at least, to ask one or two questions, it is important to know what is going on.
“Mr. Oscar, what about Xavier, what did he do to you?” he questioned.
Ethan’s heart pounded heavily, he has never seen his boss in the kind of situation in which he was a while ago, this made him feel a little sad, and as he glared at him, he waited for an explanation.
Slowly releasing his grip from him, Ethan returned t his seat, watching the man bleed out his sorrow away.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Oscar was in his fifties, yet, he looked a little bit older than his actual age. The stress from the news he just received made him pale, his face was weak, and he could barely understand what is going on. It was kind of embarrassing to even open his mouth to ask such a question.
For once, Ethan glared at the club, and everywhere was disorganized, he saw it as being strange, just staring at it was abnormal, and as his mind was blown out, he removed his eyes from it, pulling his entire concentration on Oscar’s face.
“What did he do? please, Don Oscar, tell me what the bastard did, I am ready to punish him, like seriously,” he blurted out in anger.
Ethan was serious about what he said, he meant business with his words, and will work in accordance with does words, and nothing will stop him from that.
‘No one messes with the Don of the red feather Squad and go free, no one at all,’ Ethan said to himself as he waited for Oscar to talk to him. He just needs the answers to his questions, they are going to be enough for him to judge if Xavier Barley is worth going to his early grave.
Staring at Oscar, Ethan prodded him to talk. He needed his answers with immediate effect.
With cold eyes, Oscar stared at Ethan, his eyes were as blue as the sky, yet, he couldn’t see Ethan clearly. The shock from the call still had a negative effect on him, and the earlier he talks about it, the better it would be for him. Nothing more is to be said than the hard rocky glare he readily gave out. When Ethan was about to give up on him because he knows that Oscar wouldn’t say anything, that is when the Boss decided to talk. It is very heart melting and disheartening when he heard him talk, it is like something he had never seen before.
“I can’t believe my ears, it was Louis that just called me right now. I wished he had not called me just now. I am not even done digesting Xavier’s news of being the Governor of Douala, now another bomb has fallen on my head. It is actually worse than anything he has got to see now, and as he thinks about it, he knows I am going to find out, so it is better he tells to me right now,” He spat out.
This time, he did not overreact to him, it was kind of bizarre because he needed to do something about Xavier, he is fast approaching destroying their squad, which is something they can not support, it is bizarre to even know that such a thing is happening.
Ethan lifted his head in Oscar’s direction, he had a keen look as he waited for him to speak up. He wondered if it was that difficult to spit up the truth. He really wanted to know what that was all about, but then, it was kind of strange because he doubted if the man was actually going to talk about it.
Nonetheless, Ethan remained positive, he knew that something like that would happen to disrupt Don Oscar’s peace, but coming from Xavier, that was kind of a weird scenario. It was not good, it ached his heart to know that Don Oscar is not okay. For a minute, he doubted what he could do to boost up his morals, but before he could say anything, Oscar decided to speak up.
Oscar knew that keeping the secret in his stomach wouldn’t do him good, it is going to be kind of abnormal for him not to say such a thing to his personal person.
Ethan is Oscar’s backbone, he always does everything with him, and there is nothing that he doesn’t do or say without consulting Ethan. Ever since the day he set his eyes on Ethan, his physique, the things he does, and how he looks, he knew that this was the man to manage his affairs, and there is no doubt about it.
Well, he had not been totally wrong, he had been right while thinking about most of the things, but now, it is kind of strange to know what is going on in his mind right now is pure thrash.
Sighing, Oscar decided to spit his mind out. It was kind of strange, but then, it is not like he had planned it to be, so he decided to keep his mind blended with the news he had heard so that he wouldn’t cause further havoc.
“Th problem is that… Xavier has barely entered the Governor’s house, and now, he is filing in to be the president of the whole of Bessadi, this is crazy news, he says, he wants power to be in his house. I don’t even know how that is possible, but then, I feel like I have Xavier Barley’s guts already. Like seriously, who gave him the guts to do such a thing? it annoys the hell out of him, and as he wants to keep quiet, it just gives him further reasons to sulk his entire career up. I feel like I am going to pass out if need is not taken,” Oscar blurted on in anger.
He positioned himself a little better on the chair, and it was insane. There is nothing that he could do about or even talk about, and the stress was too much.
Ethan’s eyes widened with shock from the news he just received. Like seriously, he least expected what was going on, and the worst were the words that just left Oscar’s lips.
It was horrible, more than anything he can ever think of, it is bizarre to know that such a thing had happened, it causes him several heart throbs, and as he thinks about harming Xavier, the thoughts are just so crazy.
Being the President of Bessadi is a wild risk that no one is ready to take right now. At first, just limiting it to being the Governor was stressful yet worth managing because not all portals will be open for him to see us true. Who knows if that is his real plan, to remove all the Red Feather Squads people. It is weird to know that such a thing would happen, just thinking about it is not an easy task, and as such, he wants to take steady actions against it.
There earlier this is done, the better it would be for him, because if he starts campaigning for the president’s post, then, they are good to go.
“How on earth will that motherfucker control does two posts!” Ethan asked.
The man sitting opposite his direction was now as pale as death, and hearing this question only made him worse. There is the kind of provocative questions that he wouldn’t want to hear, they are kind of provocative, even hearing them is some kind of strange lyrics to his ears.
“For heaven’s sake Ethan, please do not remind me about my scars, I don’t even want to think about it, yet, you keep reminding me as if you are doing me some pleasure by doing so,” Oscar uttered.
Although what he said made sense, but now, Ethan was so confused. He needed his mind to be cleared a little bit by the answers Oscar was supposed to present to him, but now, the issue is, he doesn’t have an answer to give him, and he wouldn’t even talk to him.
Ethan doesn’t want Xavier to step up in position, like for God damn’s sake, who are his crazy supporters that keep giving him money to run his silly campaigns, making people see reasons on why they should give him their votes. This is insane, the whole motif is crazy, and he will never even think of making such a thing come to pass even in his twenty-eight years of existence.
Xavier is just so going to be so dead when he will be done with him. There will be no one to tell the story for him because he will know exactly what to do, it means a lot to him, and whatever he does right now, will only lead him to be sick and dying.
Ethan can not believe that everything he has ever worked for is going to be crushed out if Xavier mounts to power. They were busily thinking that giving him an opportunity will do him good, no, they were unknowingly digging their own graves. They have done it so well now that it is kind of strange to even look up to him to leave them alone.
When Xavier didn’t say anything, Oscar continued his words, it is kind of a difficult task, and saying it right now, was a dumb thing, he couldn’t even believe his eyes, and thinking about it was weird as the word itself.
“Ethan Smith, it seems as if you do not know the gravity of the situation in which we are in right now. Xavier is the good guy in his story, as in that same story, we are the villains, the bad guys who need to be corrected. That is why Ethan is out there right now, to eliminate us because you know, our vibes and rumors are everywhere, and not the best. not at all. The earlier we tend and start doing something positive with our lives, the better it would be for us because Xavier is out there to destroy us,” he murmured
But this is not all, he still had a lot to say, so he had the urge to complete it. Actually, he had just stopped to catch his breath, it is the first thing that came to his mind, but then, he continued in doing his own things, that is the only thing he can do right now, to talk all his stress away, he really needs it.
“So… Ethan, let me make this clear to you. If Xavier becomes the president of this area, the Red Feather Squad will be doomed forever. You wouldn’t be able to do my dirty jobs for me, you will get caught before you even try it, and thus, so will the entire team fall. But then, voting wouldn’t take place till two weeks time. We need to track this young man down and kill him. Will the young man be above you to deal with him?” Oscar asked raising his brows.
At the mention of his name and saying these things, it made Ethan’s blood boil inside of him. He could not believe his ears, Oscar had really said those things and they are just so unbelievable. How on earth could he even talk to him about such? like all these things he had said to him, and then now, that’s it, all he has left is just himself because everything he had worked for over the years has just been swept out by Xavier Barley. The young man must be joking.
As he thought about these things, he grits his teeth in anger. This is something he doesn’t ever want to happen to him, it’s like a dangerous nightmare. Gritting his teeth, he stared at the Don in shock.
