Chapter 44: Trust

I can tell by your expression that you had no idea about this, did you?

Mr. RockFlex was trying to test Sophia, even if everything he said was a simple lie, he wanted to confirm if the girl had what it took to reign among the Bromcks.

(Shit, Alexander lied to me? He told me we wouldn’t do anything illegal, what the fuck is this?)-Sophia’s mind was beginning to fill with doubts as she thought about what to answer.

-Look, here’s the action plan he handed me, I wrote it in my own handwriting, since mine is better.

To add fuel to the fire, RockFlex decides to hand Sophia a sheet with the supposed action plan drawn up by Alexander.

(What the fuck is this? This involves robberies and among other illegal things, that bastard was just using me?) -Sophia was being eaten up inside, she can’t believe that Alexander had fooled her all this time.

-Yes it’s just as you can read it, he wanted to take advantage of your status as a Bromck to fulfill his own goals, he never really thought about you, he’s just selfish.

The millionaire took advantage of the minutes of silence to get into Sophia’s mind, who didn’t believe her eyes, the only person she considered a true friend was just like the others, he only wanted what his last name brings, not her.

(That bastard, trust him… Him, him, Alexander…)

Sophia, who had lowered her gaze down, raises it again to look RockFlex with determination straight in the eyes.

-Alexander is not like that, he didn’t do this. -Sophia, completely determined, answers the man.

-Are you calling me a liar? Why are you so sure of that?

-What you say is true, I can’t be sure, but I know he didn’t do this, not that kind of person, maybe I’m wrong, but I trust him completely.

Sophia made it clear that she was not going to doubt Alexander, she remembered all the good deeds her friend had done, when he defended her from Marcus, when he helped the annoying Laura, when when she was angry she fought with Marcus over Eduardo and Richard, and then Days later he defended him from Félix, his leader is not a bad person.

Sophia’s words were cut off by the sound of several applauses given by the tycoon, who loved Sophia’s answer.

-The first rule to be able to overcome others is to trust your team and you can trust yourself, it is just as you say, your leader did not write this.

RockFlex congratulated Sophia and her decision, she had shown she had what it takes to become a Bromck great.

-Don’t do that, you old bastard. -Although the girl covers her entire face with her hands, she can’t help but smile in a big way, her only friend had not failed her.

-Then you will give me the empty land? -Still happy, Sophia asks the tycoon, who also shows her a smile.

-Yes, all yours, here you go, remember to give me the two gyms and then we’ll talk about promotions.

-Yes, there is no problem with that, don’t worry, I will give you the paperwork tomorrow. -Sophia, with a smile, signed the papers given by RockFlex instantly, she had started the path that would take her to the top.

-I really appreciate it sir, I swear you won’t regret this.

Sofia thanks the millionaire while she lowers her head, she is undoubtedly very grateful.

-Well, you will hear from us soon. -Sophia said goodbye to everyone with a smile as she walked back out into the garden.

-Sir, with all due respect, why did you opt for that gang? I can say with complete confidence that there were better options.

The one questioning RockFlex was his right hand man Demian who couldn’t help but ask his boss the meaning of his decision.

-You know Demian, I am an entrepreneur after all, their plan of action and business idea without a doubt is the best, if you add the fact that they have a Bromck next to them everything seems to be better.

The tycoon relaxes on his couch while closing his eyes ready to sleep, it looks like this fun event is going to end.

-What I’m trying to say in a simple way is….

The millionaire was starting to fall asleep as he finished his sentence.

--I invest in the place with the most potential..

[Imperial Mission: Turf War]

[Completed]

[Minimal recovery completed]

[User will be able to wake up again]

-What… Where am I?

Alexander slowly opened his eyes, while his body was in pain, the last thing he was able to remember was his fight against Demian.

-Hey, are you really waking up? I thought you were going to sleep for a whole week at least.

The first to welcome Alexander back was Felix, who was next to him in a strange brown room.

-Felix? Could you tell me what happened? -Alexander, still with a blank mind, decided to ask.

-You were finished by that monster, you put up a good fight, I must admit, that ending was a Bam, BEM, Pum, but in the end you lost, I had no idea you knew taekwondo either.

As if he was a child Felix told Alexander the whole end of the fight in his own way, Alexander just listened to everything with a melancholic smile.

(Shit, did I lose? I thought I would be able to make it… Maybe if we steal more information we can make it).

Alexander began to think of several solutions in his mind to accomplish the mission, maybe he only has one day left until Mr. RockFlex makes a decision.

-One second… Where are we? -Already feeling fully awake, Alexander realizes that they are in a place he didn’t recognize.

-Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, we’re in one of our houses, we chose this one because it’s quite nice or so the ice queen said, we told her the color wasn’t the best.

-Wait a second… Our houses?

Alexander excited, decides to whisper the words to activate the system window.

[Imperial Mission: Turf War]

[Completed]

Alexander’s eyes widened, then start smiling.

-Hahahahahaha, we did it, fuck I was so worried, how did it happen, what did you do?

Alexander looking completely happy, holds Felix by the shoulders thinking that the one who managed to convince RockFlex was his sidekick.

-Calm down bro, calm down, although I’d like to take the credit, that belongs to the ice girl, she’s out there with the others.” Although Felix felt like taking all the credit, he decides to tell the truth and explain to Alexander that he wasn’t responsible.

(Let’s see…) -Alexander, following Felix’s instructions, leaves the room to meet his team.

-Oh, Mr. Alexander is awake. -Alan, who was sitting on a ladder, greets Alexander and then Richard approaches them both.

I’m glad you are well Alex, sorry for giving you so much trouble, especially Marcus. -Richard called Marcus’ name, but he was looking out with a sad face.

-Hey, what’s wrong with him? -Alexander notices Marcus’ strange behavior and decides to ask Richard the root of it.

-I have no idea, he’s been like this since I woke up. But more importantly, who are all those guys out there? Richard points to the lower-ranking members, who were protecting the place outside.

-It’s a long story… Felix will explain. -Leaving all the responsibility to Felix, Alexander notices how Sophia arrived next to Gerard.

(Here is my great second in command) -Alexander approached Sophia with a smile, after all she was responsible for RockFlex giving him his territories.

-!Alexander you fucking bastard!

But unlike what could be expected, Sophia receives Alexander with a face of complete anger.

-How fucking dare you give 30% of our territory to that motherfucker over there? -Sophia angrily points at Gerard, who was moving away from both of them so as not to get hurt.

-Wait, trust me, what happens is...

Alexander took several minutes to explain the whole situation to Sophia, revealing Gerard’s identity and how it is better not to mess with him.

-I see, he is the leader of Heros, he really doesn't seem like it. -Sophia looked at Gerard in a totally different way, she thought he was another of her new subjects.

-Shit, I’ll just let it go because you got more people to join, for now we can get out of here.

After calming down a bit Sophia smiles a little bit of happiness, when she arrived at the mansion, Alexander looked very bad, she is glad he is ok.

-Okay, I’ll do the necessary paperwork tomorrow, for now you can go dog lover. -Sophia was giving the good news to the leader of Heros, who can’t help but show a bright smile.

-Thank you, I really appreciate it. -Full of happiness Gerard leaves the place, his team will be very happy to have more space.

-Well, now that problem is solved, how about a team celebration? Let's go out to eat pizza, I'll invite everyone.

Showing a genuine smile, Sophia invited her entire team to celebrate their first achievement as a gang, officially this was the birth of the "Imperial" gang into society.

-I can’t believe Mr. egocentric called us here.

The darkness of the night was faded by the light of a large house in the distance of the City of the golden Count, in it an important meeting was about to begin.

-Thank you very much for coming Leader of Toxic, it is a pleasure to have your presence here.

The host of the meeting welcomes his last guest while the others looked at him.

-What joy and what nothing? All you bastards invited me for your own benefit, didn’t you? -Dash on the other hand is not polite at all and decides to get to the point.

-That’s right, I invited the three of you here to talk about a piece of news that may have surprised everyone.

-It’s about that, isn’t it? -The one who interrupted was a completely hooded man, his coat had the seal of the biggest and strongest gang of all….

-We're going to talk about the new gang that took over the empty RockFlex land, right?

The leader of the Golden Bulls was beginning to ask.
