The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

A danoureus game

A dangerous game The entire situation had Elijah deep in thought, and yet, alarmed, knowing that these guys were trouble and dangerous, and two against seven in such a situation didn’t seem like a fair fight. “You know I have been counting days for my injuries to fully heal so that I can find your ass and beat the hell out of you…” Dice said, looking away from Jerome and staring at Elijah. Even though the tension in the air was so murderous, Elijah’s eyes remained calm and his expression stayed neutral, looking straight into Dice‘s eyes. “And then you do this shit… hospitalized my damn son by beating the hell outta his sorry ass and trying to kill him…” Dice said in a dead tone as he tilted his head. “Do you have some death wish, boy?!”

Such a threat made Matt’s anger spike, and he blurted out without a care, “If your son didn’t try to stab a knife into my boss’s neck, I wouldn’t have lost my cool, and this conversation won’t be taking place in a hospital room!” “So you are the one that did this to my boy?!” Dice barked at Matt with his fist clenching tightly.

Knowing that seven to two was a disadvantage for Elijah and him, he wanted all the hate and attention on him, using himself as a shield and a bait to make sure Elijah sustains less or no injury. “Yes,” Matt answered, not moving an inch while staring down at Dice. Sensing the tension between these two men, Elijah stepped between them when Dice moved for Matt and then pushed his palm against Dice and Matt‘s chests as they stepped toward each other.

“Everyone, stay where you are, both of you,” Elijah firmly warned, his voice sounding cold and calm.

The dominance and aura he gave off intimidated both of the men, forcing them back a few feet, both looking angry at the same time.

“Now, we can bite the heads off each other, or we can settle this shit like men and not wild animals. Do we understand each other?” Elijah asked, looking back and forth between the two men who were glaring daggers at him.

Eyeing his son, Dice hesitated before then glared at Elijah, locking his dark gaze with his. “You shit on the Dusty storm gang after the assault on you and your men carried out on us that night and you expect us to swallow this shit and just ignore everything?” Dice growled, clearly agitated.

“Oh really? From what I remember we could have done way worse than beat the crap out of you all, and end your life… but just like I spared your son’s life, I also spared yours,” Elijah shot back angrily, narrowing his eyes at Dice. “So, how about a, ‘Thank you?!”

A dangerous game

A sneer escaped from Dice’s lips and he gritted his teeth, “This guy, haha! You got balls, don’t you?!”

“Hundred thousand!” Elijah abruptly spoke, not letting him finish. “I will pay you a hundred thousand dollars to buy your gang and loyalty!”

One thing that spoke louder than words was money, and Elijah knew exactly what power he held with those words, just how to get his grip on men like these.

This isn‘t bullshit, right, boy?!” “No. It’s just an honest business transaction.” Elijah answered calmly, staring right back at Dice, not even blinking an eye when the old man took a menacing step closer toward him.“ You answer to me, in exchange you get a handsome reward.” When Elijah raised a brow, Dice felt a sense of hesitation, but he didn‘t let it show
