Chapter 373 - Mole..?



Back at the warehouse.

Jared had shot the bullet and the sound reverberated through the place. Everybody held their breaths in fear, especially Maggie. This was the first time she was facing death this closely. Although working for Jared was nothing less than chasing death every day, never had she been the object of his shooting victim. However, even after a few seconds had passed, she was still standing in her place, safe and secure.

'The bullet should have pierced me by now. Why do I not feel the pain?' She wondered and opened her eyes which she had closed the moment the man had pointed his gun at her. To her surprise, the gun was pointing towards the floor rather than her. Her eyes widened and gaped at him dumbfounded. Not only Maggie, everybody in the warehouse was shocked to see Jared not killing a person he had aimed his weapon at, for the first time.

Maggie's stunned eyes were fixed on Jared, who seemed to be gritting his teeth in anger. He threw his gun in anger and silence engulfed the terrifying atmosphere, making it all the more eerie. While Jared took deep breaths to calm himself, the other members just stood still, not knowing what to do. 

After a long time, Jared looked up and faced his men. "Godfather will be here any moment now and I hope everyone here will be at your best behavior. I do not want Godfather to hold me responsible for your mistakes. If that ever happens, I will make sure that you curse your mere existence. Is it clear?" Jared's voice rose at the end, making the men shudder. 

His voice was spine chilling and everybody stood frozen, none of them daring to even move, let alone speak. Seeing their dumb expressions, Jared's fury only rose to an all-time high. "Have you lost your tongues? Why can't you speak? Am I clear?" Jared roared and this time, everybody came back to their senses.

"Yes, Jared. We understand." Maggie was the first one to speak and she was the only one who addressed him by his name.

"You are the only sensible person here, Margaret. The men here are just morons." He commented and sighed lightly. Jared was about to continue with his anger-filled speech when he heard the screech of tires from outside. "Godfather is here." The man said, his eyes darting around in worry. His hands were clenched and Maggie could see the small lines on his forehead while he frowned.

Hearing that the man their Master feared the most was here, all the man held their breaths. "Don't you dare do anything that will get me into trouble." Jared threatened them once again and rushed out with his assistant hot on his heels.

The men looked at each other, their hearts thundering loudly in fear. Even Maggie could not help fear the worst, especially when she had heard worse things about this man called Godfather. Although her curious mind wanted to see who this man was, she was also not ready to face him. 'If Jared himself is terrified of him when there were many people who fear him, how horrible could this Godfather be?'

Ryder's face flashed in her mind and she started to wish the man to be someone she did not know. Frederick proving to be Jared's father had come out as a shock to her and she was glad that she had never encountered him after she joined the Vipers. Otherwise, she would be lying in a coffin right now. 'I need to stay alive, at least for Ryder's sake.' She thought, determination flashing in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and faced the entrance as soon as she heard voices coming from there. The man who was walking at the front had dressed himself in a completely black attire supporting it with a black windbreaker. He was wearing a black hat with a small cigar in his mouth. Maggie could distinctively make out the man's facial structure from where she was. His eyes were hidden under the hat, but she noticed his thin lips that held the cigar.

He was tall, and from his facial features, he seemed to be in his sixties or late fifties. But Maggie was not sure. He seemed to be fit for his age and Maggie was impressed by the way he carried himself at this age. As soon as the man had entered the hallway, she felt the suffocating air taking over the warehouse and that was all it took for her to knew how much power he held. The man's aura was too stronger, even stronger than Jared and this made the girl feel anxious a little.

Instead of coming their way, where all the gang members were waiting for them, the group went to Jared's office which was completely sealed from inside, making it impossible to see or hear what was happening inside. 

An hour or so passed and everybody was tired of waiting for the group to come out. They wanted to take some rest and their legs were aching from all the standing they had done. But they knew that once they moved out of their place even to take a break, it would only result in them losing their lives. So, they gave up on breaks or even making a trip to the loo. They stood still in attention waiting for their doom.

Maggie too was getting tired from all the waiting and she leaned against the wall beside her to support herself. 'How long with the scumbags stay inside? Come out quick and finish off whatever business you have. My legs are killing me.' She cursed and scolded. In her mind, she had already killed all the people who were inside Jared's office right now. 'If you don't come out in five minutes, I am going to sit right here. Don't blame me for being disrespectful then.'

Just as she was counting the seconds in her head, she saw the group come out. Once again, anxiety and fear filled the warehouse. Maggie wanted to take a closer look at the man called Godfather. But Jared was standing in front of her, making it difficult for her even if she craned her neck. So, she gave up on it. 'I can always take a look at him later.'

The man took the only chair in the room and Jared stood beside him, facing everybody. Once again, Maggie tried to sneak a glance but failed miserably as the man had lowered his head. His hat was blocking him from everybody's sight.

"Vipers, this is our Godfather, the man who rules us, all of us including me. And he has informed me about some interesting things which have made me realize how easy I have been with all of you. Do you think you can trick me and lie to me this easily and escape unscathed?" Maggie was suddenly was having an ominous feeling hearing his words. Cold sweat formed on her forehead and her hands turned clammy.

"Even if you can escape from me, you can never escape from my Godfather's eyes. He is smarter than all of you combined." Everybody stared at Jared in confusion, wondering what he was talking about. Who would try to mess up with him or his Godfather when they knew what the outcome of it would be?

"I see many of you don't know what is happening here. Let me clear the confusion." Jared's voice boomed across the warehouse. "We have got a mole and let me get rid of it right away.'
