Chapter 9: Reinforcement.
Stafford Kelvin was seen in their mansion discussing with his mother, Stafford May. "How's everything going in your company my son?". She asked while folding his clothes.
"Mum have told you not to be stressing yourselves with this kind of menial jobs, the servants are present to do them". He said ignoring her questions.
Chris had allowed Raymond took over the family's company, Luce Group, but he gave Kelvin some capital to start his own company. May had thought he did it out of partiality, she thought he didn't cherish his son the way he did with Raymond. This has brought hatred into the heart of May and her son, they hated Raymond and his elder sister to the core.
"I am asking you about your company, how is it going?" May asked again.
"Work is fine, it just that I need some funds these days. There is this contract I am trying to get, it would fetch a lot of money for the company if I can get it". He said lying on his bed.
"Like how much do you need?". She asked him.
"10 million". Kelvin said sighing.
"What? That's a little huge". Talk to your father about it, he should be able to help you". She said believing in her husband.
"Mum, you shouldn't talk this way, you know the kind of man your husband is. He would rather help Raymond than to help me". He said looking sad.
"Sighs, okay I'll help you talk to him tonight". She promised him. "If he had given you a space in his company, this wouldn't have happen. I have talk to him several times about it, I don't understand why he doesn't just like us, then why did he marry me?". She questioned herself.
"Mum, you don't have to worry. You know I am also working hard for you, I'll make it no matter what, I promise you". He said assuring his mum confidently.
"I believe in you dear". She said hugging him.

After several days of sending out his boys to Stafford Raymond, Harry had just gotten information from one of his boys that they had been captured. He knew how cruel and smart Raymond was, he thought of what to do next. He knew his men who were captured can never come out alive again. "Stafford Raymon". He shouted his name and stab the desk in his office with a dagger.
"Knock, knock". Someone knocked at Harry's door. "Come in", he said, his voice trembling with anger.
"Boss, our men are at Raymond's cave ground". He said coldly.
"Yess, I know". Harry took his tobacco and begin to smoke, We would surely strike back. Tell the boys to lay low for now, I'm working on something and you all should keep training hard till I give you another command to strike". He said.
"Yes boss". Lupin answered his boss.
Lupin Blake was the second in command to Harry, he is Charlotte's younger brother, but had separated from her for a long time.
Recently, they started communicating, they had even met few times.
............
Raymond was at the cave ground with his men, he had called all of them to discuss the recent attack on them.
"Harry men has been captured, they are being tortured everyday. What should we do next boss?" Ice asked Raymond.
"Kill them". He answered with a sharp cold voice. His eyes were short of blood, his huge body stood at their front, giving them a scary scene. "I called everyone for reinforcement, Harry is going to strike anytime, but we are always ready". He stopped talking for some while.
"Recruit 10 more men into the troop, give them to hard training and always let me know your movement". He added.
"Yes sir". Everyone answered.
"Sky! Check up on Dyer Gray. Do it secretly and carefully, his movements are suspicious these days". Sky nodded his head. "Yes boss".
"I have given Roger and Hunter the rules that would be set up in this gathering from now on, the rules must be strictly followed and intact. If anyone doesn't go by it, the person would be severely punished". Raymond signaled to Sky and he gave him a tobacco which he had lit.
"Hunter will read them to you". Everybody echoed. "Yes boss". Raymond left the cave, leaving his men alone.
Hunter came to the front and began reading out the new rules to all the men.

"Ma, you called for me". Bianca said while at the door entrance.
"Yes, I did. The documents I asked you to submit is incomplete, what is wrong with it?". Frances complained, she brought out the documents from other files and placed them on the table.
"I'll recheck ma, I remembered before bringing it to you, everything was complete". Bianca convinced her.
"So am I the one lying?". Frances questioned.
"No ma, I didn't say that. I'll bring them back to you ma". Bianca corrected herself.
"Alright. You have to be fast with it, you know we are trying to expand this company, we can't just be stagnated here in Lichfield. That reminds me, what of the new proposal coming in today?" Frances asked while taking a sip of water.

"Okay, since I am free for now, go and arrange the meeting immediately". Frances ordered.
"Alright ma". Bianca said and left.
