Chapter 207: Black Colour Gang

After dropping Lily to her kindergarten, Lucas is now on his way home.

As he gets to hear his home he replaces a car standing in front of his home.

Lucas eyed the car warily, his protective instincts kicking in. The car's door opened, and a well-dressed man stepped out, his gaze fixed on Lucas.

"Mr Lucas?" the man inquired with a calm demeanour.

Lucas nodded cautiously. "Who are you?"

"My name is Josh and I work for the Black colour gang."

Yet another thing appears before me that I haven't added in the novel, the colour gang.

Of course, there are villain organizations like 'New Sun' and villains and gangs.

However, there was not a colour gang this was the first time I had ever heard the name of a colour gang!

Anyway, I don't care as long as this won't affect the storyline.

"What does this 'Black colour gang want with me?" I asked the man who stepped out of the car, from the looks of it he seemed to be a butler.

"Young master Jonathan talked with you yesterday but you seem to be angry with him, so he wants to express how sorry he felt about that incident, that's why he wants to invite you."

My eyes narrowed at the name 'Jonathon'. So the man that I talked with yesterday his name is Jonathan.

"I already told him that I don't have any intention of joining him," I said to Butler as I remembered the words I had spoken with Jonathan.

Josh maintained a composed demeanour despite my resistance. "Young master Jonathan understands your concerns, Mr. Lucas. He wishes to meet with you and address any misunderstandings. The Black Colour Gang has a lot to offer, and your unique skills could be valuable to us."

I crossed my arms, unconvinced. "I'm not interested in joining any gangs. What makes you think meeting him will change my mind?"

Josh sighed softly. "Young master Jonathan believes in the power of diplomacy. He wishes to discuss matters in person and replace common ground. The meeting is not an attempt to force you into anything. Consider it an opportunity for dialogue."

I eyed the butler sceptically. "And if I decline the invitation to this 'meeting'?"

Josh nodded respectfully. "Your decision will be respected, Mr. Lucas. However, I urge you to at least hear what young master Jonathan has to say. It might provide clarity on certain matters."

I sighed, contemplating my options. I had no intention of aligning myself with any gang, but the persistence of these mysterious groups intrigued me.

"Fine, I'll meet with him," I stated firmly.

Josh nodded appreciatively. "That's all we ask, Mr. Lucas. Young master Jonathan awaits your presence at our headquarters. Please come inside of the car." Josh said as he opened the car door for me.

Reluctantly, I entered the car, unsure of what awaited me at the headquarters of the Black Colour Gang. The vehicle silently glided through the city streets, taking me to a destination veiled in mystery.

Upon arrival, the headquarters stood as a towering structure, its exterior adorned with subtle yet distinctive black accents. As I stepped out of the car, the imposing aura of the building suggested a clandestine world hidden beneath its sleek façade.

Josh led me through the entrance, and the interior revealed a blend of sophistication and an unmistakable air of authority. Members of the Black Colour Gang, dressed in black attire, moved with purpose and efficiency. The atmosphere hinted at a well-organized operation.

We entered a dimly lit room where Jonathan awaited. His sharp eyes met mine, and a faint smile played on his lips.

"Lucas, I appreciate your willingness to meet," Jonathan greeted, gesturing for me to take a seat.

I eyed the surroundings cautiously, my senses on high alert. "Make it quick. I have no intention of joining any gang."

***

"Make it quick. I have no intention of joining any gang."

Jonathon stared at the person sitting in front of him.

Jonathan had met Lucas in the past few times when Caster used to work here.

At that time Jonathan doesn't have any interest in him but after replaceing out he is hair of [D] ranked Sunless guild his interest in Lucas starts to begin.

Jonathan had offered him to join their gang, After all, who doesn't want the backing of the guild?

But sadly Lucas declines that offer. He couldn't touch Lucas either after all Lucas's father's current guild head is [C+] ranked hero plus he is not the only hero at Sunless Guild there are at least 100 heroes.

So he couldn't do anything to Lucas.

Shortly after that, Lucas went to Nova Academy, the best academy out there in Etheria.

Since going there Jonathan heard amazing feet of Lucas. The most recent would be how he played a big role in saving the citizens of Silva City when an unknown assassin group and fallen human attacked the mansion where cadets staying.

Jonathan doesn't know how he with his [B ranked ] Potential managed to accomplish all of this but he doesn't care either way.

All he wants that Lucas to join his 'Black Colour' gang.

Now the opportunity is itself here after 3 months Lucas had returned to the City. Of course, there were some minor problems and misunderstandings but it's all in past.

He will try to explain to Lucas that it was not his doing but that Caster and his two friends.

Jonathan leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled as he regarded Lucas with a discerning gaze.

"Lucas, I understand you may have reservations about our previous encounters. Let me assure you that the actions of Caster and his associates were not sanctioned by the Black Colour Gang. Their misguided actions have led to unfortunate consequences."

I remained silent, scrutinizing Jonathan's every word. The tension in the room was palpable, and I was prepared for any attempts to manipulate or coerce me.

After all, like Caster, Jonathan at the end of the day is an evil bastard.
