Enzo
Enzolookedthemanin front of him up and down, taking in everything. This man had been sent to him by his father, and he was supposed to be a trained killer—the Lords of Chaos' top enforcer. Well, he looked the part of a badass biker, that was for sure. He had on a black t-shirt, and the short sleeves showed off his numerous tattoos, but the one that was most impressive was the one that made his arm look like a cyborg's arm. His leather cut had an "Enforcer" patch on one side, "Man of Carnage" under it, and on the other side, "Third Generation" and "Original Chapter".
Enzo could respect keeping it in the family. The Lords of Chaos was the one biker gang—wait—they took offense to that term. No, they were the one club to rule them all. His father felt that they were also the only bikers worthy to partner up with the Castiello family. He really didn't know; he had never worked with any of them before. He knew what Akari said about them and what Demir and his uncle, Vito, had to say. He trusted their opinions, but he still wanted to see them in action with his own two eyes.
"Your name is Diego 'Dragon' Murphy, right?"
Dragon smirked. "You already know what my name is; why ask?"
Enzo smirked. "Just breaking the ice with introductions."
Dragon slipped his thumbs in the ring hooks of his jeans where his belt was strapped. It was his favorite because the buckle was shaped like a bike. He had another belt, where the buckle was shaped like a gun, that was his second favorite. He was also carrying a 9 millimeter hidden beautifully in its fashionable holster on his pants.
"I'm here to help you handle business. What do you need me to do?" Dragon asked.
"Straightforward; I like that," Enzo said. "Do you know who our targets are?"
Dragon nodded. "Yeah, our Prez gave me the rundown. Basically, we're taking out Da Han's oldest son, Li Mujin, right?"
Enzo shook his head. "I have other plans."
"'Other plans'? What?" Dragon asked.
"I want to capture Li and use him as leverage."
Dragon cocked an eyebrow at that. "Do you think that will work?"
"It might. I don't want to kill Li, not if I don't have to. Using him as leverage to force his father to come to the table for a sit-down benefits all sides. We have lost more than enough blood inthis war. We take Li, we get Da Han by the balls. He's going to want to save his son. Li is the next in line to take over the triad," Enzo said.
Dragon scratched at his brow as he thought about Enzo's plan. "On paper, it sounds good."
"It's the best idea to end this war quickly," Enzo said.
"Especially since we predict they'll be calling in reinforcements from Japan," Cenzo said.
Dragon nodded, then crossed his arms over his massive chest. "Does your father know that's your plan? Because my dad doesn't, and I don't like doing things he's not aware of, especially when my whole club is involved."
"My father wants me to kill Li," Enzo said. "But I don't think that's the right move."
Dragon grunted, then shook his head. "I'm telling my Prez, and I don't give a shit if you like that or not," he said.
Enzo leaned back in his chair and stared at Dragon while his finger tapped the top of his polished desk. "You disapprove of my plan?"
Dragon snorted. "Whether I disapprove or not doesn't matter. We all had a plan both your family and my club agreed on. Now you want to change the play without letting the other players in the game know. I don't care to get my ass chewed out by my dad if shit goes wrong or if this is something your father doesn't want. Let me remind you, because it seems like I need to: you don't control the family yet."
Enzo snarled and leaped to his feet. "You cocky motherfucker! I don't need you to tell me shit about my family."
Cenzo stiffened when he saw the enraged reaction his cousin had to Dragon's comment. If things got ugly, he was ready to attack.
"You can calm down your bark; I know how to handle dogs who think they can bite me," Dragon warned.
"Who the fuck are you calling a 'dog,' motherfucker?" Enzo snapped.
"More like fatherfucker, but if you're trying to cause problems... I'm a problem solver,motherfucker," Dragon said, tossing the insult back at Enzo.
Enzo laughed as he shook his head. "The fucking balls on this son of a bitch."
"Watch your mouth when you talk about my momma," Dragon said with a smirk.
