Deal with jinx like you

"Boss we're ready" Si xunmi called out to Lu yao yin closed door.

"I'll be right down in a minute" Lu yao yin answered from the other side of the door, the person who just said she would be down in a minute actually just woke up like five minutes ago, she hadn't even taken her bath, talkless of being anywhere ready.

She tiptoed out of bed then rushed to have a quick shower and get dressed before pulling out her duffel bag and randomly throwing a few things she thought she might need for her trip.

She was about walking out of the room when she remembered she had almost forgotten her Multi-purpose Wrist watch, it was a gift from her father, the watch could record audio and visuals, it had like a signal jamming property that jams suspicious signals around her, it also had a GPS system, two small laser beams shooters and a hidden lock-picker

Impressive right?

She didn't wear it that often cause it looked too flashy, she preferred wearing the smaller version but she had given it to Gremlin few years ago. The first place she decided to check was her bedside drawer and just as she opened the drawer, two object came into her sight.

Two boxes placed side by side with eachother. One was beautiful wrapped while the other looked plain, If she hadn't opened the drawer now she totally would have not remembered the package from her mother and also the ring she had in her possession.

First she picked up the ring box and opened it, the ring was the exact same one from the magazine series she had shot with Zi yichen, after the magazine broke sales record, the company that sold the ring had also made huge profit so they gifted her and Zi yichen the pair of rings they had modelled with.

She slid the ring on her finger then threw the other box into her duffel bag, she would go through whatever hher mother had given her when she got to where she was headed to.

"boss_"

"I'm done already" she walked the door and passed the bag to Si xunmi.

****

dark recesses of an underground house, a group of men were seated around a round table with heavy faces like the sky before a rainfall. They all kept mute until the door opened and a man walked in.

He wasn't smiling either, his brows were furrowed and his whole being was submerged in a dangerous air.

"Lord Geming!" the voices of the men echoed in the room, a tiny voice could also be heard amoung the echoes, apparently Ah Se mi was one of the group.

"sit" the man ordered after he had taken his seat.

"what is this that I hear?" his cold voice rang again into the ears of everyone.

They all kept quite first the one of the men stood up and began to talk.

"boss Revolution is taking bit hits from an unknown group"

"yes they wiping out our basese from each city one after the other" another answered.

"our arms channels have been leaked to the police, we can't deal arms anymore there's no where to pass them through"

"Even some of our men are in the custody of the Special armed forces and that spells doom, we should_"

"Enough!" the man cut them off, he was tired of hearing them spout complaint after complaints, complains he had already been getting wind of now.

"where did the issue first start?" He asked

"City Z"

"have you found what started the attacks?" He asked again. and this time everybody kept quiet, they didn't have an answer to his question.

"Do I have to teach you how to carry out investigation?!" the man yelled at them "how come none of you has found out what caused the attacks!"

"Lord Geming we don't know what started the attacks but we... we know we're being attacked by one group with the Insignia A, that's the only thing we found"

"Useless! I want you all to search deeply, we need to know why they are attacking us, if they are against revolution then we wipe them out!"

"yes boss" they chorused

"East leader how's the confederation? how many other underground ground have you been able merge with Revolution?"

"Boss many major group have refused forming an alliance with us only the little and unstable one had agreed to join, at this rate we don't even have up to 15% of the country underground power" the man called East leader explained.

Lord Geming furrowed his brows "that's not possible, A force like chaos is with us so we should have about 50%, did you do your calculations properly?"

After hearing his words, everybody moved averted their eyes away, how could possibly tell him that the conniving b*tch that killed her boss to take over Chaos had absolutely no idea on how to run an underground business and under her supervision the Gangs Underground power and status had dropped to a substantial amount, now it was just like every other regular group running around with a name tag.

Ah Se mi felt uncomfortable under the gazes of the men, she could see disdain and contempt in their eyes as they stared at her. She knew they were mocking her for how she was running chaos and that infuriated her. She was trying her best but no matter what her effort was just being compared with that of Kun feng! Chaos was looking its foothold and she knew it but none of that matter now cause as far as she finds the blueprints then Lord Geming could help reinstate Chao to how it once was, and then she would be known as the Supreme Overlord!

since no one said anything the topic was naturally skipped,

"Concerning the Arms deal, we would ditch all Revolution Channels and starts using Chaos Channels, that should be okay right?"

Everybody kept quite and waited for Ah Se mi to break the bad news herself to the man

"Um... boss I don't have anymore channel" she announced in a voice that was no different from a whisper

"what?!" the man banged the tables and spranged up to his feet.

"what do you mean you don't have anymore channels?! I thought chaos had a lot of secret Arms channels? what happened to all of them?!" he asked angrily.

Ah Se mi trembled to the intensity of his voice, she clenched her fist and began explaining "All of our channels got leaked and then ended up getting closed by the government"

"then open up new ones! don't you have proficient suppliers?!" he yelled

"I tried but they all have refused to supply me, they say the government are on their tails and they can't risk themselves for me" she lied, in actual facts the suppliers reasons was that dealing with Ah Se mi was a loss of profit and also a bad luck, their words were 'we don't deal with jinxes like you'

The man stood up from his seat and walked to the glass window in the room, they could all see that he was trying his best to retain his composure especially with that lit cigarette in between his fingers.

"I heard rumors that Chao has a connection with an Arms company abroad, have you found out which company it is?" His now calm and distant voice sounded into everyone's ears including Ah Se mi.

She herself had heard of it and also tried finding out which company it was but she couldn't find anything, the Elders of Chaos were just figureheads, they only knew what Kind feng told them, none of them could provided a name and she hell didn't want to ask Si xunmi. A lot of people were already whispering that she was only able to run chaos because Si xunmi was with her and she didn't like that, this is the reason why she hadn't asked Si xunmi if she knew on any company abroad that produces arms.

She didn't need anybody help! she would find whatever she wants by herself! with her own capabilities!

Hearing her silence the man already knew that she didn't know the company, he wanted to ask again about the blueprints but what was the point when he already knew what the answer would be. He waved his hand and signalled everybody to leave the room.

Ah Se mi was becoming useless to him, he was already thinking on finding another powerful ally.

He opened one drawer and dug out a piece of paper would a word scribbled on it, his assistant had given him this name when he asked for some who ruled the underground world

"Lord Gremlin" He murmured and smiled to himself.
