BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1889 - Delegation From The Lebedev Family
~ the main base of the Voronin family ~
In Simeon\'s office…
Simeon was glaring at three people who are directly reporting to him.
"How come you have no idea who robbed us?", Simeon asked angrily.
He lost his patience hours ago. All their warehouses are emptied as well as many safes and secret stashes through the base, including his own, yet no one heard anything. How is that possible?
If this is a random house in the suburbs, he might believe it. But this is the main base of the Voronin family with hundreds of capable fighters, where everything is monitored, and so many places got emptied overnight! The only logical explanation is that his own people teamed up against him. Are they preparing to take him out?
Simeon\'s paranoia about everything and everyone worked overtime. No one is to be trusted. Even his own son showed a lack of interest to investigate this strange phenomenon.
Three people in front of Simeon lowered their heads, unsure how to respond. They already said everything there is to say, but Simeon is not willing to accept the reality.
Simeon\'s phone rang and he took the call after seeing that it\'s from one of his men. "What?"
"Grand Master, the Lebedev family wants to see you…", a man said.
Simeon frowned while thinking why would Lebedev want a meeting. It must be related to Sarah and Aiden escaping and Vasily dying. Do they want a fight? No, for that they should not demand a meeting. Maybe they want a truce or some other negotiation. But he is busy now and no time to think clearly.
"Tell them that I will be in touch to schedule a meeting for next week.", Simeon responded and ended the call.
Simeon\'s glare returned to the men in front of him. "Where was I? Ah, yes…"
He stopped talking when his phone rang again, and his anger swelled when he saw that it\'s from the same man. "What now?"
"Grand Master, the Lebedev family wants to see you…"
"And I told you that there will be a meeting next week!", Simeon interrupted the man.
"But…"
Simeon was about to end the call, and he stopped. "But, what?"
"They are here."
Simeon\'s eyebrows shoot up. "Here, where?"
"Here, at the main entrance."
"Who is here?"
"All of them.", the man responded.
"What does that mean, all of them?"
The man cleared his throat. "I asked who it\'s present, and the man said that all Elders are here."
Simeon swiftly typed on his computer to see the video feed from the main entrance and he saw five black bulletproof limousines lined up. There is no mistake. Those are Lebedevs. Why are they here? They never came here. On a few occasions where they met over twenty-five years since he is the Grand Master, they always met on neutral territory. What are the Lebedevs thinking?
"What do they want?", Simeon asked the man on the phone.
"They want a meeting with you and the other Elders."
Simeon panicked. Something didn\'t seem right. "Tell them that I am not here, and we will be in touch."
The computer screen in front of Simeon flickered, and he saw Konstantin on it.
"How rude…", Konstantin said with a smirk. "We came all the way here to talk, and Grand Master Simeon refuses to see us. Should we take this as a declaration of war?"
Simeon stared at the computer and then nervously glanced around the room. How come Konstantin knows what he said on the phone? Did they tap into the security system? But… his office does not have any cameras set up. And why is Konstantin on his computer screen!?
Of course, Simeon does not know that on the previous night, when Aiden and others from the Army of Chaos came to swipe things, they also set up cameras in unmonitored areas. That is why they can clearly see Simeon now.
"War? What are you talking about?", Simeon mumbled. Unsure if he should talk to the monitor or into his phone.
Konstantin smiled. "Then we expect to be granted an entry. It\'s only a few of us here, coming to your base with hundreds of soldiers. Don\'t tell me that you are scared of hosting us."
This pushed Simeon\'s buttons. "Scared? In your dreams!" He put the phone next to his ear. "Let them in and lead them to the large conference hall."
Simeon ended that call and looked at three people in front of him. "Call all Elders and senior staff to gather in the large conference hall. We have guests from the Lebedev family."
The limousines the Lebedevs used to come to the main base of the Voronin family are modified to have a U-shaped seating in the back that allows six people to sit in the back and two in front, for a total of eight people per vehicle (without squeezing in).
In one of the limousines…
Sarah, Aiden, Hong, Konstantin, Vuk, and Bogdan are sitting in the back while Allen and Julius are in front. Allen is driving.
"Good work, Konstantin…", Sarah praised him. "Your provocation worked, so we didn\'t need to go with plan B."
Plan B was to use drones to knock everyone out and they would make their own way inside, without permission. Like this, they can drive inside nicely and save the drone-surprise for later.
Konstantin smirked. "That old fart didn\'t change. He was always hotheaded."
Sarah turned to Aiden and pushed two unruly strands of his hair away from his forehead. He was super-handsome in a black business suit.
Aiden took Sarah\'s hand into his and kissed each of her fingers.
Just as Sarah admired Aiden, he admired his wife in return.
She was gorgeous in a black suit that consisted of a jacket and a pencil skirt which ended above her knees. Her hair lifted into a bun exposed her neck completely and it made her look super-appetizing.
Aiden wanted to nibble on Sarah\'s neck and to hear her sweet moans. He had an urge to send everyone else out of that limousine and press Sarah on those leather seats.
It\'s a while since they dressed up in sharp office attire and Aiden had to remind himself that this is not cosplay but a serious mission.
"Are you ready?", Aiden asked Sarah.
"Mhm…", Sarah hummed in response. "Let\'s do this."
In Maksim\'s villa…
After a short knock, a young man entered the study and greeted Maksim with a small bow.
"Young master Maksim, the Grand Elder requested a meeting in the large conference hall. The delegation from Lebedevs is here and he wants you to be there."
Maksim\'s lips lifted into a smile and he looked at the man who brought him the news.
"Alright. I will be there…"
Maksim was giddy on the inside, eager to see what Sarah prepared.
Maksim was surprised to hear that so many places got emptied overnight, and if Sarah sticks to her word, that was just the beginning and there will be a good show to watch.
Sarah promised him that by end of the day, Simeon will be removed from his position, and Maksim will have several possibilities in front of him.
Maksim was not sure what he would choose. So far, he dreamt about freedom without the shackles that Simeon put on him, but Sarah showed up and things changed. If he leaves, when will he see her again? Only if he sticks around, he will get a chance to get closer to Sarah and find out what other secrets she is holding. Maksim likes that idea.
He reminded himself to hurry because he does not want to miss a thing.
