Stab, the head of the Black axe confraternity was talking to his superiors, the imperial lord of the Black axe confraternity. He had earlier reported how Jake and his privately hired military squad thrashed them, even the guts Jake had to step on their toes that provoked them.
Stab needed to exert revenge on him.
“I want permission to take along the strongest of our confraternity to eliminate Jake. No one dares or defile Black axe confraternity and goes Scott free” Stab said, with his heads facing down. He was kneeling down before three imperial lord’s who sat majestically in the “thrones of axe” thrones that wield their ancestors spirit man.
The Black axe confraternity is merely one of the mafia group that makes up the city Triad. If Jake reports to them that the president general doesn’t have the silver ring anymore and they in turn report to the triads Lords. They’d be promoted above the other two confraternities that makes up the Triad.
Stab was still facing the floor impatiently waiting for an answer when someone with tattoos covering his whole body barged into the ancestral room. He was the head of the security in the Black axe confraternity environment.
He seemed frightened, he was among those that got thrashed by Jake’s private military soldiers. His fright was stimulated when his watchman reported to him that Jake and his soldiers were heading towards them.
“Jake is heading here…! We need to get prepared ” Derrick, the head of the security guards stated with fright almost missed in his tone. Why won’t he be frightened? He was mercilessly beaten up and the soldiers and even Jake himself were expert martial artist.
Stab smiled gleefully. Finally! An opportunity to make Jake pay for what he did to him. Excitement suffused him as he would be doing it in a just way.
“Get the bravest, toughest and strongest neo black members and beat them to hell!” One of the imperial lord finally spoke for the first time. He and his fellow imperials had not spoke since Stab started making his report. He sounded infuriated. ‘Who the hell gave Jake the guts?’
Sooner, the Black axe warriors of over thousands had sharpened their weapons and were all on the war gears to combat the incoming threat. Little did they know Jake was coming for a purpose that would give the rank.
The black axe confraternity environment was very big, like a Shaolin temple.
They did all their rituals there…..
They trained there…..
Meanwhile, Back at Einstein Academy….
Stoic, Legacy, and Jennifer were chewing the fat and shooting the breeze and in other words confabulating trying to figure out the relationship Hannah had with Jake Bernard – the man who claims is their mum’s ex husband and their father –
Few days ago they discovered that Jake and Hannah, the both of them might have a connection and now they needed a vital information that may buttress their claim.
Clara soon went ahead to join them and once she got there, Stoic closed his computer and changed the conversation, initiating a controversial discussion.
“What are you guys hiding? We’re friends…. remember?” Clara who is naturally smart and observant was quick to know the game stoic was pulling, hence, she interrupted with her soft spoken voice.
Thoughtfully, Stoic opened up his computer back on again and said ‘We’re trying to figure out the relationship this woman on the screen has with the owner of Jake’s oil company’ , Stoic turned his laptop to Clara to get a proper view . Jennifer and Legacy were sitting by his left and right side and the before now vacant seat opposite Stoic is now occupied by Clara. The table was not so vast. It was rectangular, the four kids sat to each of its side.
When Clara saw the woman on the screen, she was gripped with an instant shock looming in her face.
“What? This is my mother! and Jake’s oil company Manager; Jake Bernard is my father!” Clara spoke, and chuckled.
“They used to be lovers!” She added when a splitting silence came on board. She was not comfortable with the way the Triplets looked at her in shock and disbelief.
That sounds terrific, thought Stoic. Just Jake, He already has a child with Hannah about same age as us, meaning he got the woman, mum caught him with pregnant. Not to mention that his two kids may be in love with each other (Stoic and Clara) Yeah, this sounds like a perfect family reunion. Aloud, he said.
“What do you mean?”
Clara exhaled deeply after she learnt all that she had to, about the possibilities that Stoic and his siblings might be her step siblings if indeed, Jake is their biological father. She was not happy with it in a way, because her lover might be her brother. She was also happy in a way because she will get to spend more time with her friends – step siblings –
“So, my mum was the reason your mum and dad parted ways?” She asked in curiosity.
The three little Rugrats nodded in unison. It was a lot to take in.
My mum, whom my dad claims left and abandoned me is actually still in this sterling city and at the military base and to make matter worse is the president generals fiancee!.
“But, why would my dad lie? And doesn’t mum care?”
Everything was getting more vivid and complicated.
They vowed to find out something that they didn’t know about this whole connection because it can’t just be a coincidence. It must be a well layed out plan.
Even to relate the whole incident. They needed to rack their brain.
Jake Bernard cheated on Diana with Hannah, and took her property’s. Consequentially, Hannah got pregnant and gave birth to Clara before them. And their mum probably out of frustration got into an accident that made her lost her memories but however was gifted with us. “It could really be Jake is our father ….” Stoic thought. Maybe, mum layed with someone else, and he is most likely the president general , cause why do we look like him? After all, he said it himself. He had sex with a lady he met at the night club party six years ago.
Stoic tapped his fingers on the table all through the racking of the whole story. “Mum definitely went to bar to drink away her sorrow after she discovered Dad…. No! Jake!!! Cheated on her to vent her anger probably on some alcohols. President General said, they were both drunk!”
