Chapter 205: Meeting a Female Drug Lord
Chapter 205: Meeting a Female Drug Lord
The car pulled into the driveway of what was essentially a massive mansion. Yet this mansion had walls surrounding the building, topped with razor wire, and cameras everywhere. There was no such thing as a blind spot in this compound’s security, and if that were not intense enough there were men armed to the teeth at every corner, patrolling across the grounds.
The sniper towers were located in all directions, and these marksmen were equipped with anti-material rifles designed to take out armored and lightly armored vehicles. If a man were shot in the chest with such a weapon, his entire torso would be vaporized.
As intimidating as an entrance as this was, Alex was not afraid. Perhaps it was foolishness, or perhaps it was the fact that Alex had already died once already. But the prospect of being brutally murdered by these vicious killers was something that was not even present in his mind.
Instead, Alex stepped out of the car with a confident gait in his step. He was invited to this villa for a reason, by the woman in charge. And there was no way she would have him killed without first giving her a reason to do so.
Alex may be brash, bold, and an outright asshole. But he knew who he should show respect towards, and a psychotic drug lord was definitely one of those people. Thus, when he stepped foot in the building and entered the main hall he was surprised to see a mature Mexican beauty sitting atop a throne that was constructed over what he could only call golden skulls.
Whether these were actual skulls that had been dipped in molten gold, or were simply carved out of golden bullion, Alex did not know. But if he was a guessing man he would have to go with the former. And as intimidating as a throne made of literal human skulls might be, Alex wore a confident smirk on his face as he took half a bow and introduced himself.
“We meet at last… I’m sure you already know this but my name is Alex… Alex Smith… Though I don’t know how a simple civilian like myself might be able to help you, but I thank you for your hospitality in advance…”
La Madre looked Alex up and down. She was dressed rather provocatively, with an extremely short skirt that was practically skin tight, translucent stockings, flashy high heals, and what Alex could only describe as a corset which clung tightly to her flat stomach and large bosom. Over this corset was a jacket made out of alligator leather, and a pair of gilded and tinted sunglasses which perfectly blended with the woman’s light brown skin and Hispanic features.
The mature beauty took her sunglasses off to reveal her dark eyes, which would normally enrapture any man’s soul, and made a slight smirk before expressing her opinion of Alex.“You’re much more handsome in person… I think you and I are going to get along really well, don’t you think?”
Alex noticed the guards and their gloved hands grip the hand guards and pistol grips of their assault rifles far more intensely when La Madre began to flirt with him. He also noticed the murderous gazes they were giving him.
Perhaps this was a test set up by La Madre, but Alex did not balk beneath the immense pressure he was feeling, and instead continued to remain confident as he pulled a slight package out of his bag, and handed it off to Miguel who inspected it for any potential harm.
Once the man had confirmed there was nothing abnormal with the package, he handed it off to his elder sister, who looked at the gift and smirked before showing it off to everyone.
“Would you look at that? Alex bought me a Rolex! Isn’t he the sweetest little puppy?”
Once more, the armed guards tensed up upon hearing their “mother” speak to Alex as if he were her newest child. There was almost an air of jealousy in the room that would make a lesser man back out of the fierce competition for the woman’s favor.
Alex, of course did not know the woman’s measurements and was quick to speak about this matter.
“I didn’t know your measurements, so you can take that to any jeweler and they will make it fit just right for you… I’m sorry if it’s not to your liking, I really did not know what someone in your position would like as a gift.”
La Madre did not seem to mind in the slightest as she placed the golden and diamond encrusted Rolex around her wrist and showed it off as if it were the best present she had ever received. She then said the words that made her henchmen even more angry towards Alex.
“It’s perfect! I’ll get it sized up immediately, and then I’ll show it off to everyone! You are an absolute treasure… anyway, let’s get down to business… If you’re half as smart as I think you are, then you have probably been paying attention to the news about what is going down here in Mexico am I right?”
Alex silently nodded his head, not wanting to speak any further, but his reaction still caused the beautiful psychopath to smile as she nodded her head and complimented the man further.
“Good boy! It is no secret that the Zetas and CJNG have been in a brutal conflict for several years now, and I’m afraid if things keep going the way they are, then there will be no Zetas left in just a few years… Let me be frank with you… Your capacity for violence is…. It’s absolutely enthralling!
In all my years, I have never seen a man so gifted in the fine art of brutality! And you don’t seem to have any qualms about killing people either… I want you… I want you more than any man I have ever met before… I want you to be mine and mine alone!”
The seductive way that La Madre had put her job offer was enough to cause her men to get antsy… They were giving Alex death stares, while practicing very poor trigger discipline as they held their fingers on the trigger like a bunch of novices showing just how much they wanted to kill Alex right now.
When the beautiful drug queen saw this, she broke out into a fit of giggles, before calming her henchmen down.
“Dios mio will you boys stop being so jealous? I didn’t mean like that! I just want Alex to work for me as my sicario! You boys have such dirty minds I might have to discipline you for having such naughty thoughts about me and my new pet!”
Though the men didn’t sigh in relief, Alex could have sworn they did so internally because the expressions in their eyes turned slightly less hostile towards him. As for Miguel, who was La Madre’s little brother, he was shooting Alex a look that was telling him to find a way to reject his sister while still keeping his life intact.
In reality, Alex didn’t really want to become a hitman for the cartel. Sure, he loved to engage in violence, but some of the things the cartel did were outright barbaric. Alex may have a screw loose in his head, but he was no savage. Besides, killing for a living was not what he was about, rather he preferred to fight with his fists as he found that more enjoyable than a gunfight.
Besides, the limitations that the Queen of Hearts had put on Alex were much more strict in this arc, and he had to genuinely create a plan if he wanted to win this little game of chess. What Alex needed was to buy himself some time, time to gain some information about the heroines, their likes, and their dislikes, how they are involved with the MC, and how he would compete for their affection.
Right now there were simply too many unknowns about this whole situation, and Alex did not wish to be pressured into taking one of the two paths available to him without knowing all of his options first. Thus, he took a deep breath, before bowing his head to the female drug lord, which he then begged her for some time to decide.
“Everything you said about me is correct. I am a violent, and vicious man, who enjoys hurting people… But… Every man I have ever killed I did so in self defense. I’m not a murderer, and though I am certain I have the capacity to be one, an excel at such a profession. I do not yet know if that’s a path I wish to pursue in life…”
La Madre frowned when she thought that Alex was rejecting her and was just about to order Alex’s “arrest” when he interrupted her with another request.
“Can you give me some time? There are things I don’t know about what is going on down here south of the border… I need time to gain information, and think through what I wish to do. I know I owe you for getting those assassins to back off of me and my mother… But I just don’t know if this is the right way to repay you yet…”
The mature beauty looked rather perturbed by Alex’s request. That is until her little brother leaned in and whispered something to her. Which caused the woman to sigh in defeat before granting Alex that which he asked for.
“I’ll give you a month to decide. If you still have not come to a decision by then, then I will use force to get you under my heel! And don’t even think of fleeing the city in the meantime! Even if you escape back north, I have ways of finding you, and your loved ones! I trust that you will make the right choice, Alex.”
Alex bowed once more before the woman in a gracious gesture, before thanking her for her “benevolence.”
“Thank you very much. I promise I won’t squander the time you have given me…”
Though La Madre was upset that Alex didn’t immediately accept her request, she did not say another word and dismissed Alex. Allowing him to leave her compound and gain some much need intel on the various heroines he needed to conquer, and the MC he would be contending with.
