Vengeance To The Royal Ones 98 Why Are You Still Awake?

She checked the time and found that it was a little late in the night.

"You're going out?"

He was wearing a black windbreaker with its zipper zipped up to his chin. A black jeans and sneakers, he was also wearing a cap.

"Yeah, I'm going out with Blake and the other two."

"If you don't mind, where would you be going at this time? Almost every stores are closed."

Ashton walked towards her and patted her head, "If we wanted to take over the underworld we'll have to face first those at the bottom."

"If we forcefully take the top then we will have so many enemies at the bottom planning behind our backs. But if we get hold of those below before the top, who knows we might have more support in the future."

His eyes were actually gentle as he spoke of these words. Amber frowned.

"Why do I feel like a child while you speak those words?"

'As if he was coaxing a crying child who didn't want to be left alone in the house,' she added in her mind.

Ashton smirked, "I thought I was speaking with a child."

"You-"

"I'll be back."

Amber blinked a few times when she heard these words, how long has it been since she had heard such words?

How long has she been living on her own that such words are foreign to her?

And how long has it been since she last said the words she was about to say?

"Then take care and return with everything intact."

The changes in her eyes didn't escaped Ashton's eyes and he knew what went through her mind.

"Okay, plus they are still the small ones. We still have our own people so the ones taking action for now are our people, the four of us will just be watching."

Amber smiled and nodded, "That's right, you shouldn't be lifting a finger on those small flies."

She was not wearing her mask so her face that beamed with pride over what she had just said was very visible.

Ashton found it cute and felt amazing hearing her say things very proudly regarding him.

He leaned forward and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I'm going."

Amber was stunned at first before she followed him and watched him drive away with his own motorbike before she locked the doors.

She was not scared that something might happen to him for she knows just what their capabilities are.

The four of them may seem weak but weapons were their business, of course they have a lot they knew regarding these things.

Plus the people they are currently facing were... flies.

"Wh- Who are all of you? What is the meaning of this?" he was a burly man with tattoos all over his body.

He just coughed up a few mouthful of blood.

They didn't realized that they were being ambushed not until half of them were down.

"Just a newly established faction that wanted to stir up some trouble," Blake grinned as he spoke.

They are all wearing casual attires with wind breakers as support from the coldness of the night.

With the dim lights and their caps and sungla.s.ses. The gang couldn't recognize them.

After what had happened with the Barbers, almost the whole country thought that these young men are grounded and locked up in their homes.

No one actually would have thought that they were stirring up more trouble just a few days after their failed attempt to take Jacob to his grave.

"Why would you do this?" the burly man asked.

Despite being a small gang, they still have some influence in Celestial country.

"We've heard that the pressure to the small gangs are increasing quite a lot for the past few years."

The burly man didn't reply, indeed that was the case but what of it? What does that have to do with these people?

"What do you say you follow us instead and have a revolt?"

The burly man didn't know if he would laugh at this or not. If it was not for his aching body he would think that these people are just playing around.

Revolt?

Over those factions?

There are two biggest group in the underworld.

The Black Spade of the North and the Blue Cliff of the South.

Black Spade was more open and notorious compared to Blue Cliff.

Both have deep roots and other than the royal families, no one can barely touch them.

Even the police would tread in thin ice when it comes to these two.

"Don't look too shock now, didn't we take your group down within just ten minutes? Our capabilities aren't this much either."

All the talking was done by Blake, Devon and Aldger stood behind him while Ashton stood at the farther back, just listening to them.

Blake volunteered to do the talking, he always wanted to try this. Acting like a gangster.

"Well, we can give you time to decide, we still have more places to go to."

Having said their piece and having them taste their strength, the four of them have more groups to go to.

They didn't plan for their first day to be so simple as to take down just one group.

"Oh, of course you can go and inform the others or those who are above you. But just as you have thought they'll treat it as a joke. You can just sit back and watch."

With that said their group left this side.

Sooner or later, these people will be the ones to look for them.

*****

The night became noisy for the underworld. The world that rarely became this noisy was turned upside down with just one night.

Despite it being only the small gangs, there were still ten gangs who were taken down by these group of people.

And they used the darkness of the night to veil their looks, no one have recognized them.

"I haven't had my blood boil this much for a long time," Blake commented as they borded each of their motorbikes.

"We'll go again in another twenty days, let the other gangs put their guards down before striking back," Ashton instructed.

When they built the weapons company, they were also able to build relations.h.i.+p with their people. Currently their group was numbering to fifty people.

Five groups with each group having their own leader. And these five would be the one receiving orders from Ashton's group.

Since the company was a weapon company, these fifty were quite well acquainted with the weapons and fighting.

The ten years, these people received a lot of help from these young masters.

They were able to build trust and respect towards Ashton's group.

And their loyalty are towards them and them alone.

This night they only brought one group and this group was enough to take down ten groups without deep wounds.

Some scratches are there, wounds they received as the night became deeper and as the number of groups they defeat increased.

"One more thing, be sure to raise your endurance and strength in the time we are not attacking. Train more," Ashton instructed the group they are with.

"Yes young master."

The leaders of each group were actually bodyguards Ashton have had since he was young.

They are the ones who watched and protected him, they've witnessed all his hards.h.i.+ps and everything he went through.

He had protected them a lot of times as well and so they have vowed to protect him and him alone.

But now that he has more intentions, they vowed to follow him wherever he goes, even if that place was h.e.l.l.

Everyone dispersed and went home.

Ashton frowned, the lights in the house was still on and it was already 3 in the morning.

As he entered, he was welcomed by a warm smell.

"Welcome home," Amber beamed as she welcomed him.

Not even a hint of sleepeness in her face.

"Why are you still awake?" he asked with a voice of reprimanding as he looked at Amber who was sitting on the dining table with a bowl of soup in front of her.

"I want to know the moment you return, of how it goes, plus it is pretty cold now. Come and have a soup before resting."

He removed his jacket and sat down in front of her, she had served him a bowl and served herself as well.

"Well you don't have to tell me the story, seeing as you still look normal. I suppose it was those groups who were crashed."

"You told me you trust me? Why still wait when you know we will be cras.h.i.+ng them."

"I am just not sleepy, that's all, I have been resting for a few days now after all."

Ashton shrugged seeing as she was indeed not sleepy, the two of them chat for a bit more before Ashton finally went up to take a shower and finally rest.

Amber fixed the dishes before she too went to rest but her smile didn't disappear.

She will never tell him that the reason she stayed up was because she was excited of saying those two words...

'Welcome Home.'
