Chapter 70 Ghost
[EXTRA CHAPTER]
Theo arrived in his apartment that night exhausted.
It was a long night full of ups and downs.
The only thing he wanted was to take a shower and sleep until noon tomorrow.
He was thankful that Aurora was having a sleepover at her friend's.
He would go crazy if Aurora was placed in danger.
Theo took a shower and slept as soon he lay down on his bed
The next day, Theo woke up to the sound of his phone ringing.
"Hello" Theo said with a grumpy sleepy voice.
"Now? Okay, I will be there shortly." Theo replied.
It was Aurora, she wanted him to go pick up her, and he would never say no to his little princess.
He got out of the bed and saw what time it was.
'10:21 am'
'Wow it is been a while since I woke so late'
'I must have been super tired.' Theo entered the bathroom to take a shower before getting dressed.
He gave food to Maya, who was sleeping on the couch.
"Such a sleepy princess!" Theo exclaimed as he looked at the kitten.
Theo drove towards Umaru's house, but it was better to say mansion instead.
Because the house was indeed a mansion.
"Hey, cupcake, is everything okay?" Theo asked with a doting smile when the girl entered his car.
"I am okay, big brother, I missed you!" Aurora said as she hugged him.
"I missed you too." Theo said as he hugged her back.
He contemplated if he should tell Aurora what happened, he did not want to lie to her.
But he did not want her to worry about what happened.
'If she asks about it, I will tell her. But she doesn't ask then I don't have to say anything' Theo made his decision.
"Did you have fun?" Theo asked after they stopped hugging.
"Yes! It was so much fun!" Aurora was happy that she came.
It was a unique experience to have a sleepover, it was her first sleepover and she loved it.
"What did you girls do?" Theo asked as he drove his car towards their apartment.
Aurora then proceeded to tell Theo all the things she did with her friends in an excited voice.
Theo smiled as he heard Aurora's excited voice.
He thought she looked completely different from the girl she was five months ago.
She became happier and more outgoing.
He was overjoyed that he was making reality his promise to make her happy.
She finished talking about her night when they arrived at their apartment.
"And you, brother? How was your night?" Aurora asked when they were entering the apartment.
'Damn it... she asked' Theo thought.
"Well, we had another great service last night. June said she missed your helping hands haha"
"And some guys tried to rob when I was leaving the restaurant last night. But everything is okay, the police arrived and arrested them." Theo said with a calm dismissive voice.
"What???" Aurora shouted.
"Are you okay, brother?" she asked as she jumped on him to check if he was okay.
Theo saw that coming and just accepted her checkup.
"Just some bruises." Theo smiled helplessly.
"Let me bandage them! Why didn't you call me last night??"
"What would I do without you??" Aurora said with a crying voice as tears rolled out of her eyes, Theo was her only family.
She would collapse if she lost him too.
"I'm okay, cupcake, if something happened, I would've called you. But nothing happened." Theo hugged her to calm her restless heart.
They talked about what happened while Aurora applied the medication on his bruises and bandaged them.
Meanwhile, in another part of Elffire City, inside a police station.
"Hammer, you have a phone call." a guard said as he walked to the front of a holding cell where three men could be seen.
Hammer lifted his head and stood up.
He regretted, but not what he did.
He regretted how he did, and not researching his target deeper.
He went over and over last night's happenings, and he concluded that they lost at the moment that he told them to separate.
Now, he would have to go to jail for a few years.
He thought as he walked over to the phone.
"Hello." Hammer said to the phone after the officer left the room.
"Hammer" a cold voice said over the phone.
The voice only said his name, but his whole body shivered.
This voice was something he dreaded, something that gangsters of Elffire City dreaded.
It was wiser to offend the police than the owner of this voice.
With the police, you would go to jail if you mess with them.
But with this man, you would not be able to wake up for another day after offending him.
Nobody knew the name of this man, but they called him Ghost.
Because he oversaw the crime scene of Elffire City as a ghost.
All gang leaders of the city had to go through him first before establishing a gang.
And if someone establishes a gang without his permission, the gang would disappear the very next day.
The same thing would happen if the gang disobeyed his orders.
The Ghost himself did not have a gang, but he somehow was the boss.
But his methods were famous, nobody ever saw how he disposed of his enemies.
Hammer also had to seek Ghost's permission to start his gang.
He still remembered that day, as if he was yesterday.
The voice made him shiver in fear, just like today when he heard again.
"Yes, boss." Hammer said with a trembling voice.
"You will tell the whole truth to the police. If you do not. The prison will be your tombstone." Ghost said with a calm chilling voice.
Hammer turned pale, cold sweat rolled on his back.
He knew that Ghost was saying the truth.
Some guys thought they could escape from Ghost by going to jail.
But on the first day in the prison, they were killed by inmates.
Ghost had people everywhere.
"Yes, boss, I will say everything!" Hammer said quickly.
He did not want Ghost to think he was hesitating.
Hammer heard the call being ended and collapsed on the ground.
His whole body was shivering.
He never thought that a simple car theft would involve the horrible Ghost.
'That guy is not simple!' he thought as remembered his last night target.
'I should've not involved myself.' he now regretted even involving himself because of the million-dollar car.
No amount of money was worth it when the thing involved Ghost.
He was guided back to the holding cell, but he was still pale.
"Boss, are you okay?" Pipe asked when he saw his boss entering the holding cell with a pale face.
"You tell me, you *&%*$&" Hammer cursed the idiot that put him in this mess.
"You two will tell the whole truth to the police. If I discover you left something unsaid, I will skin both of you alive." Hammer said with an icy voice.
Pipe and Horse turned pale and confused, they did not know why their boss became so frightened to change his attitude.
But they nodded quickly in agreement.
"Officer, I would like to testify again!" Hammer called the officer again.
And like that the three of them testified again about what happened.
They told that at first, they were contracted by a man from Sakura City to threaten Theo.
They provided information about who it was and when the meeting happened.
Detective Aalto and Mikoto, who still oversaw the case after the scolding of the station's chief, were surprised that Theo was right!
Indeed, someone was seeing him when he left Fuji's building!
When they saw the surveillance cameras on that street, they were in shock.
They were even more embarrassed about their yesterday's behavior.
The three men told everything they knew and even provided evidence to corroborate their statements.
The detectives were taken aback by the eagerness of the bandits to cooperate with the investigation.
The case became much easier after the bandit's statements, the detectives only had to search for the new suspects that ordered the crime.
Meanwhile, Peter already was in Sakura City, he did not want to be associated with what would happen.
But he was a little nervous, it was already Saturday, and he did not get feedback from the guys he hired to threaten Theo.
"Maybe they are partying with the money I gave them for the job." Peter found an excuse and went to sleep.
He did not know that tomorrow his world would be turned upside down.
