CHAPTER SIX

Doing the Right Thing

After me and my "co-Lords" had that meeting, which turned out really fine, we decided to spill out the news to our men. We knew that they would not take it the good enough, for most of them depended in the organization too much. Some are just too afraid of us that they don’t have a word coming out of their mouths. We actually predicted already that these guys will not take us seriously by the time we tell them that we want out of the organization. And that’s what troubles me. Very much, I say.

We had our weekly meeting for arrangement of our goods and stuff. Our men are always included in that weekly meeting, so that assignments will be very clear and actions will be precise. That time, we wanted to tell them the news about us, the "Lords", wanting out of the organization. And so, we did. We told them what transpired in the meeting and we thought everything was already perfectly clear, crystal clear. But it turns out to be worse than we’ve expected. One of our men stood up and told us that we’re not capable anymore of handling the organization, and everything’s messed up, and so, he wanted to take over everything, be the boss, be the man, be the new "Lord".

Of course, we don’t want that kind of stuff to happen, although we don’t want to continue with what we were doing, we still don’t want anyone taking over our firm. We started it, we created it, we established it, earned a lot of money from it, and we’re the ones who’ll put a stop to it. And any scumbag who dares to take over our firm is definitely a pain in our necks, and something should be done about it, at least that was our principle that time.

By just standing up to what that jerk believes in and wanting to take over our organization, some of our men turned their backs against us and followed his way. He then created his own firm, and became one of our deadliest and most feared rivals. Of course, we began fearing him, for all his thoughts and views, all his concepts, all his beliefs, came from the combined minds of 5 different Lords. And because of that, we knew what he’s capable of doing, when he’s going to do it, and how’s he planning to do it. It’s like fighting your own shadow, only better than you. Better than everybody else.

Few of our men retained with the firm, but eventually, they then started to realize that we had a good point. It must come to an end. So, after a few realizations of some sorts, they ended up doing the same thing, quitting, just like what we did.

We thought the nightmares will finally come to an end, only to realize that it was just the beginning of another tragedy… something that we regretted for the rest of our lives…
