Bella listened silently. However, when she heard Sam’s words, she was stunned because Sam didn’t seem to know that the Dark Skull organization still existed. If Stefan is right, and he likely is, they continue their business, hiding under the Black Rose Group.
Countless questions now dance through her mind. How could he not know? Doesn’t the government know either? How? Why could Stefan give her such detailed information?
"Boss, why are you suddenly asking about Dark Skull?" Sam’s question brought Bella out of her thoughts.
Bella didn’t rush to answer. She looked at Sam for a moment and then at Leo, who now wore the same curious and confused expression as Sam.
"Damn! Bella, can you please stop scaring us like that?" Leo snapped. He feels thrilled by the tension in the room.
"Can you be quiet, Leo?" Sam hissed at Leo. Then he turned to Bella. "Boss, would you mind telling us why now?" he asked politely.
Bella took a deep breath when she saw Sam almost beat Leo.
"My trusted sources told me that Dark Skull is investigating me. They’ve been researching anything about me for a couple of days now. This is really puzzling me. Why is this evil organization interested in me? I don’t remember ever meeting people like that in the past..."
Sam and Leo were left speechless when they heard Bella’s words.
"My source couldn’t tell me who hired them or if the initiative came from the organization itself. And, Sam, this is why I ask you about them..." she continues.
"Boss, hold on a second. Something seems off. Although the Dark Skull leader hasn’t been captured since I retired from my unit, I have heard from a reliable source that they no longer exist as a threat. So, even if they still exist, they are probably not a threat to you."
Bella, "...."
"Boss, don’t worry too much. If my source is to be trusted, they are just a lowly gang now. I could handle them by myself..." Sam said confidently.
Bella seemed calm but was internally frustrated because Sam was unaware of the new Dark Skull. It wouldn’t have alarmed Stefan if it had only been a low-key criminal organization.
"Sam, I trust my source is credible. If my source told me the Dark Skull Organization still exists in this country and has grown bigger than before, I know it must be true."
"That’s fucking scary, Boss! Are you really sure this organization still exists and is in full motion against you!?" Leo slightly shouted in surprise. "Are you really sure, Boss? Why do they want to know your identity?"
"I wouldn’t ask you to come here to discuss it if I wasn’t so sure. Also, if I knew what this organization is up to," she said faintly.
"I see," Leo nods.
"Are you sure it is bigger than before?" Sam asked. He doubts it. If Dark Skull returns, his former team will surely annihilate them again.
Sam didn’t say anything about his doubt to Bella because he needed to hear more.
"Yes. My source wouldn’t alarm me if he saw it as non-threatening. Have you ever heard about the Dark Roses Group?"
"Boss... So, you mean the Dark Roses have become their new front now?" Sam asked, starting to piece things together.
"Mhm, that’s what my trusted resource informed me."
"And the military still permitted them to conduct business in this country? What nonsense is this?"
