Chapter 42
Tao Long was an orphan. He and his brother lived alone in the slums of the city underground and were responsible for taking care of themselves. His brother was the only family he had left in this world so he would do anything for him. But one day he found his brother injecting something into his arm. Tao Long raged and beat his brother at that moment. How could he be so careless!! But his brother would not listen to him.
Ryu Long was an eighteen years old and he was at that point in his life when he thought he knew better than everyone else. He said he was just trying to love like his friends. Tao Long called it stupidity. He had seen what drugs did to people in the underground. How could his brother be so stupid!
Tao Long squeezed his hand around the bottle of whiskey in his hands. Han knew that if the glass was any thinner it would have broken by now.
“He is just a kid, but he likes to think he is an adult! I’ve tried everything to get him to stop but…!”
“You can’t force people to stop something that they find pleasant”
Han understood the issue perfectly. Human beings were always the same. We’re we all not just trying to find something that made us excited to wake up every day? But this was not how children should find excitement. This was evil!
“This drug… Which one is it? Cocaine? Cannabis?”
Tao Long shook his head. None of those drugs circulated in the underground anymore. They were too expensive for the poor folks to buy.
“It’s a new one called Wisteria. I don’t know where it came from but the bishop has been selling it to kids for a very cheap amount”
Han rose a brow.
“The bishop?”
Tao Long’s mouth formed an o. He almost forgot that Han wasn’t a part of the underground. He wouldn’t know the bishop.
“He’s the number one drug lord in the underground of City C and he’s as shrewd as they come. They say he once killed a man because his son couldn’t pay up the money for some drugs he bought. They were just a warning for the rest of the underground. But the thing is that you can’t deny he has charm. He can make a man leave his family and never turn back in the same way he can charm any woman into doing his bidding. He’s as dangerous as they come”
Han hummed and took another shot of gin. This might be a bit tricky. He didn’t know anything about the underground and the people there. But if this bishop was the issue, then wouldn’t it be okay to just get rid of him? He didn’t have any respect for people that sold drugs to kids!
“Okay, let’s go”
Han dropped some money on the table and stood up and Tao Long looked up in shock. Where were they going?
“You said this bishop is responsible for this, right? Let’s pay him a visit,”
Tao Long felt a stone drop into his stomach. Did this man want him dead!? How can you even think of going against the bishop!!? It was suicide!!
“Boss Han, you do t need to go that far! Bishop isn’t someone you can just knock on his door and enter! He is very dangerous ”
Ha was already at the door and he just turned back to Tao Long with a smirk.
“He’s not the only one that’s dangerous”
Tao Long shivered before he finally nodded and got up.
The bishop was an untouchable entity. This wasn’t because of his strength or his speed. It was because of his connections. Everybody and their mother owed the bishop something and every major power in the underground had been in business with him at least once. The bishop never had anything to fear in the underground because there wa
