307 Visiting ck Swan’s Base


    The men’s motorcycle sped into the darkness behind the fence. The darkness turned out to be only an illusion of tworgeyers of thin ck cloth that were hung a few meters behind the fence. This was useful for disguising all activities in the building.


    But when they had passed the twoyers of cloth, the men were amazed at what they found. It was a spacious basement dominated by white colours and bright lights. It was like passing through a portal and entering another dimension.


    Inside the parking lot, neatly lined up various motorbikes and cars that look clean and shiny. There were also several girls who were busy minding their business or just grouping to talk. However, the presence of the men suddenly became the centre of those beautiful eyes.


    It was a very strange sensation for all members of Jita Kyoei. They had visited the headquarters of various gangster groups several times. However, the atmosphere, sights, and even the sounds werepletely different from what they were facing now.


    “Park the bikes here,” The girl who led them pointed to an empty corner of the parking lot. “Please park them neatly. Linda will go berserk if she sees this ce in a mess.”


    Nicko didn’t stop looking around. “This ce is more like a Showroom than a parking lot,”


    Beside him, Frank chuckled. “They’re girls, Nick. You should’ve known better,”


    Nicko could only nod slightly. With so many sisters, he should understand what happened.


    After parking their motorbikes, Emma approached them. She had just entered from behind a ck cloth curtain after helping her friend close the fence.


    .....


    “You guys done? Pleasee with me inside,” Emma said as she looked at the row of motorbikes that had been parked neatly.


    “Your headquarters is huge,” Troy walked beside Emma.


    “Our headquarters,” She corrected him. “You’ve only seen a fraction of it.”


    “Since when did you girls build this?” Calvin asked curiously.


    “A few months ago. Previously, we only used the top floor of Poppy’s studio. However, because our members increased, we took another building.” Emma exined.


    Then they entered a ss door and met a staircase that led them to the first floor and so on. Actually, Emma was inspired by all the gangster bases she had been to. The first and second floors of the building were filled with rooms upied by the girls. Those who didn’t have a home or just want to stay overnight could sleep at the ck Swan base.


    The headquarters had a bright, neat, and clean feel because Emma really cared about the aesthetics of buildings, so she made sure that the inside of a building that looked unkempt from the outside, had to be beautiful on the inside, so that all of her friends and herself would feelfortable.


    So far, The ck Swan’s headquarters had never been entered by men. Jita Kyoei was the first group of boys to enter the kingdom of the girls.


    Their arrival made the girls stare at them and whisper to each other as if they had seen aliensing. It actually made the men feel a bit ufortable.


    Emma noticed it from the looks on the faces and the silence of the men who followed her. “Are you feeling ufortable?”


    Nicko shook his head. “I don’t know, but this does feel a bit weird,”


    Calvin nodded. “Looks like we were just shocked,”


    “It seems we all have the same thought,” Ian muttered with a nce at the group of girls who were watching them.


    “Their stares and muttering mouths give me goosebumps,” Martin said while rubbing his arms.


    Nicko chuckled. “Maybe, that’s what girls feel when they walk past a group of men. The difference is, they used to experience Catcalling. I think this is a feeling of being intimidated,” (Catcalling is a form of verbal abuse in a public space. The perpetrator calls, whistles, and teases with words to someone who passes her/his eyes. Usually experienced by women.)


    “We feel that way because we have no malice here. We are not men with bad thoughts and loser brains who feel that we are above women and feel that everything we do is right.” Ian replied.


    Imperceptibly, they arrived at the fourth floor which was arge room for gathering. Usually, all of ck Swan’s core team held meetings there. The floor was very spacious because it had no room. It also had lots of pretty and cute furniture.


    The six men stood awkwardly at the top of the stairs. They found quite many girls that most of them they knew before. There, all of The ck Swan’s core team gathered.


    “Let’s talk there,” Emma pointed at a table surrounded by several brightly coloured couches and bean bags.


    “Oh, you guys finallye,” Poppy greeted with a cup in her hand. She stepped from the small kitchen on the other side of the room.


    “Hey,” Nicko greeted.


    “Sorry if it’s a bit messy,” Poppy said while picking up some cushions that were lying on the carpet and putting them back on the couch.


    “Not to worry, Poppy. Their ce is messier than this.” Emma chuckled a little.


    Troy looked at Emma sarcastically. “We’re boys. Thanks for thepliment.”


    Emma continued her chuckle. “Well, please sit down.”


    Then the men sat down on the couches circling the coffee table. Some sat on the soft pink fur rug thaty in the middle.


    “Now that Jita Kyoei is here, let’s discuss the next matter,” Emma said to her female friends who were scattered with their own busy lives.


    One by one, the girls sat there. All of Jita Kyoei’s men, except for Ian and Nicko, be tense because it was not usual for them to hang out with women. In fact, Troy once said that he was allergic to girls, therefore, he had to make sure that his male friends sat on his left and right.


    “Oh, hi,” Nicko smiled awkwardly when Britney sat beside him. The girl also looked awkward. The two of them tried to cover it up so the others wouldn’t notice.


    “So, since we have defeated Dragger, that means Jen Marrie is ours, right?” Emma asked to start the conversation.


    “It’s supposed to be like that. But I have a feeling they’re going to cheat. There’s no way they’d just give up the money field,” Ian answered.


    “Behind Dragger is a group called ck Hole. Reportedly, it’s many times stronger than Dragger. ck Hole is the head of the four big groups: Hell Gate, RJC, Beast Empire, and Dragger.” Troy added.


    Emma nodded. “But we managed to take down all the five groups, didn’t we? If Dragger hadn’t cheated in that battle earlier, we should have been able to defeat them even more easily.”


    “Emma, ??just now, Dragger pulled all of the Beast Empire’s men into their possession. From there, we could already feel how hard it was to wipe them all out. Now, we can imagine how all the men we faced earlier will join the ck Hole group.” Calvin exined slowly.


    “I see. Then, in that war, did you deploy all your men?” She asked.
