CHAPTER 070

JULIAN’S POV

“You finally back from your trip?” Ronnie’s voice crackled through the phone, a hint of playful accusation in his tone..

“Yes, Ron. I came back a while ago,” I replied, leaning back against the wall

“And you

didn’t let the boys know? Have you finally gone all CEO on us?” he teased.

I let out a small laugh, shaking my head even though he couldn’t see me. “You know that’s not for me,” I said with a smirk. “That life’s never been my style.” I paused for a moment, gathering my thoughts. “Anyway, like I mentioned earlier, I need a favor from you.”

“Even though you neglected me and the boys these past few months, we still got your back, man. What’s the favor?” Ronnie asked, his tone more serious now,

the playful edge fading.

“Are you guys still working?” I asked,

“Of course,” he replied without hesitation.

“Do you currently have a contract?” I pressed further, already knowing the answer but needing confirmation.

“Nah, things have been moving slowly lately. No active contracts at the moment,” Ronnie admitted. I could almost picture him shrugging on the other end of the line.

“Alright then,” I said, my voice firming with purpose. “I’d like to hire you guys. There’s someone I want you to bring in.”

“Is that so?” He chuckled. “I knew you always secretly wanted us to work under you. Finally admitting it, huh? But you know we don’t come cheap.”

“Yes, I know,” I replied, allowing a small grin to tug at my lips. “That’s not a problem. I’l pay whatever it takes. You and the team should come down to my place so I can explain everything properly.”

“Roger that, we’ll be there in a few minutes,” he said, and with that, the line went dead.

I lowered my phone and set it on the table beside me, my mind already racing with plans. These guys were the best at what they did. I had known them for years and trusted them more than anyone else in this ruthless game. If anyone could get this job done cleanly and efficiently, it was Ronnie and his team.

As expected, it didn’t take long before I heard the rumble of their engines pulling up outside my place. The unmistakable sound of their cars was enough to stir a sense of anticipation in me.

A knock echoed from the front door, sharp and sure. My maid, ever prompt, rushed toward it, but I intercepted her just in time.

“I’ll get it,” I said firmly, giving her a nod to step back. She obeyed without question, retreating into the hallway.

I pulled the door open to find Ronnie and the rest of the crew standing there, all dressed in their usual rugged, no–nonsense gear. They looked the same as always- battle–hardened and ready for anything.

“Julian,” Ronnie greeted with a grin, stepping inside as if he owned the place. The others followed, their eyes briefly scanning the surroundings before settling on me.

“Good to see you in person. Did you add weight?” Ronnie joked as he stepped inside.

I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. Ronnie always had a joke ready, no matter the situation. That was just who he was. But when it came down to business, he was easily the most serious and focused person I knew. His ability to switch between the two was part of what made him so good at what he did.

“Very funny, Ron. Please, come in,” I said, stepping aside and gesturing for them to

enter.

“No,” I replied, shaking my head. “They’re what you’d call your average Joe. No. firearms, no private guards, no high walls or motion sensors. They’re regular people.” noticed them exchange glances, a silent conversation passing between them. The realization seemed to dawn on them at once–maybe, just maybe, bringing the rifles had been a bit over the top for this kind of assignment.

bottom, I flicked on the lights, illuminating the space. The basement wasn’t just a storage room – it was my personal operations center. Clean, and organized, with files neatly stacked and monitors lining the far wall, displaying surveillance feeds and data.
