The Black Market Chapter 18 - Old Man Sekoujo

"Hello Mr. Sekoujo, what brings your grand presence here? Do you need something from this little one?" asked Cale jokingly.

"Haha. What a funny young man you are. I am simply impressed with your skills in blackjack and I don't know how you did it. But we all have secrets so I will not press you on that further." said old man Sekoujo after laughing lightly.

"Mr. Sekoujo, owner of Diamond Paradise Hotel and Casino. Also one of the major shareholders of the Grand Lisboa Casino. To think that such a man with great status will admire someone like me is truly flattering." Cale said as he put on the evil smile on his handsome face.

The men behind old man Sekoujo were alarmed at Cale's words and they hastily looked around, afraid that someone might overhear their conversation.

Old man Sekoujo on the other hand lost his benign look and was replaced by calm and indifferent appearance.

The evil smile never left Cale's face and his calm eyes were directed at the old man.

Old man Sekoujo looked away after clashing looks with Cale for several seconds. He then smiled benignly and said "To think that someone with your level of strength went unnoticed after all these years. Who might you be little friend?"

The change in tone from old man Sekouno's voice was quite shocking for the men behind him. They knew that this old man was a war veteran and also a retired Brigadier General.

He also pointed out Cale strength which means that it was at least on the same level as him.

He might look old and weak right now, but he can definitely defeat the former soldiers with him in less than fifteen minutes of hand to hand combat.

But the young man in front of him was different, he was sure that the young man's strength was at least similar to his. If he was on his primes, he might be able to best Cale, but with his current old bones, then the ending was unknown.

Cale's smile vanished and was replaced by a stoic look. He then pulled out five beautiful invitation letters from his inside pocket and handed it to the old man.

"Mr. Sekoujo, I am Cale, Lord Wolf King's First General. This is an invitation letter for the grand opening of his Tyrannical Tower. There are four extra letters from here and you can give them to anyone with noteworthy status."

"Wolf King huh? If you don't mind, may I ask what this Tyrannical Tower is?" asked old man Sekoujo while giving the letters to the commander beside him.

Cale smiled and said "Lord Wolf King was indeed right, he said that if old man Sekoujo will ask one question, then I can give him an answer. And to answer your question, the Tyrannical Tower owned by Lord Wolf King houses about two hundred elite warriors from all over the world. As for their strength levels? You will know once you see them."

Old man Sekoujo smiled widely displaying an ugly wrinkled face that made Cale's lips twitch a bit. He then sighed and said "I will be there little friend. I hope I will not be disappointed in my time of visit there."

"I assure you Mr. Sekoujo, you will not regret it. And you might even be one of our patrons." said Cale as he winked at the old man teasingly.

"We will go back to our rooms for now little friend, and oh by the way, I hope you join the party tomorrow night. It will help you gain more connections." said the old man before he bade goodbye to Cale.

"Tomorrow eh? Of course I will be there. My old friend Delfino will be present tomorrow. I should at least say hello. Haha." Cale chuckled softly as he recalled the sweating fat face of Delfino during their exchange.

Inside a luxurious room, a fat man reading a newspaper suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo! Oh shit, I really don't like the weather here in Macau." he said in annoyance as he wiped off the snot on his face with a clean cloth.

Inside a deluxe suite, Cale was busy video calling with his brother Trevor.

"Hey brother do you see this? I am currently inside one of the best rooms in a five star hotel. Everything was paid by Lord Wolf King and my only task here was to get connections from the rich people in the society. After you have recovered, you will be under my care and Lord Wolf King even said that I could bring you in my next travels in the future." boasted Cale as he showed Trevor the interior of the deluxe suite he was staying.

The price for one night in this deluxe suite was more than forty thousand pesos. Even in his time as the Gun Sovereign, he did not experience this kind of luxury.

Trevor was not jealous after seeing his friend enjoying a life of luxury, and was instead happy for Cale.

He thought that with Cale's current grades in school, no company will surely accept him as an employee.

But now with the emergence of the mysterious Wolf King, his life turned upside down and was now one of the rich folks in the society. And since he was now involve with this Wolf King, he was rather happy as well.

He lived an impoverished lifestyle after all these years and he wanted to be of help to his old parents and this might be the best way to do it.

Althought it was quite sudden and dubious, he was willing to risk it all, as he also trusted Cale's judgement.

"Good! Don't worry brother, the doctor said that in three weeks time, I will be fully healed. I won't allow you to live in luxury alone you idiot. Haha." joked Trevor after seeing the smug look of Cale.

"I will wait for you brother, and no worries, I will find you a better woman than Kate." teased Cale as he laughed loudly.

The two good friends talked for almost an hour before they ended the call.
