BXBX NOVEL Chapter 271 Maywood-1
" Is it really safe to go there? You have told us the reason, but isn\'t it better to meet them on your own terms?" Maia said as she heard about Samuel\'s plans.
" She is right! I don\'t know what she means to you, but is it better than your life? Take it from someone who has lived around these areas; getting acquainted with a criminal organization is never good. Don\'t you read the newspapers?" Paige was a little blunt, but she was also worried about him.
" You haven\'t informed Aunt Laura, right? She would never allow you to do something this dangerous!" Iblis piled on.
" Calm down! We have done ample preparation, so you don\'t have to worry about it. He is her father; I don\'t think he would plan an ambush. We will talk; I would have done the same if it were for you guys."
""" That\'s a given!"""
"Besides, we are not gangsters, so you don\'t have to worry about your life, but knowing my father, if he found out about you fooling around with other girls, I can\'t guarantee him not getting violent, though," Paige said innocently. Was it more of a threat? He knew that shit happened between them, but she couldn\'t be trying to use that against him, right?
He looked at the other two, and they, too, had the same look. Just how horrible of a mistake did he make last night? If he told them he was drunk and imagined them to be other girls, won\'t they instantly gang up on him?
" Umm, I should really get going. It is a long drive from this place; I will see you tonight, alright?" It was better to completely forget about such dreadful thoughts!
" Wait-" When Maia called him, he ran away.
" I could have given him a good luck kiss.."
""Right..""
"Huh?" Maia looked at the other two as they had the same idea.
" Don\'t get any funny ideas! I was drunk then, but nothing like that is happening again, so stay away from him!" Iblis said outright.
" I will, but I vaguely remember you and Paige drooling over one another. You know I am fairly open-minded; you have my complete blessing. That way, I can have him to myself!" Maia said something that hit the bullseye!
" Stop making shit up!"
"Liar!"
" I know you both to be like this; that\'s why I have proof~! Here, you practically push your tongue down each other\'s throat!" Maia pulled out her phone to play a spicy video. She really was a cunning lady, as people described her. But she didn\'t think it through properly as Paige and Iblis tackled her to snatch her phone.
" Delete it!"
"Hahaha, no!" Maia was giggling while trying to keep her phone away from two madwomen.
Samuel could hear their laughter from downstairs. It was good that they were in a good mood; he could leave without worrying about them.

Several heavy-duty SUVs took off from Beverly Hills first thing in the morning. It was an hour-and-half drive to the Vernon passing where the convoy reached the Maywood area.
They smoothly drove along Randolph Street to reach the Maywood family hospital. Everything was average, but the meeting place was deep inside the area.
Seeing the vital convoy, many people thought that it was a police raid; it was a common occurrence in these parts of town. Fearing the potential gunfight, ordinary people skirted away without looking back. It was better to have your life than to witness some fun event!
Taking a left, the convoy arrived near Veteran Park, alongside a cannabis dispensary. The meeting place was a large one-story house that was between the two. They stopped with Samuel in the middle of the convoy.
" No one is here yet." Samuel looked outside.
" We did exchange a few words. They will be here to show lead us inside." Steve said from the front seat.
" It doesn\'t matter. What about the others?"
" We have placed few people in every direction. Jane is handling it; you don\'t have to worry about it."
" I am not worried about us. I just don\'t want normal people to get hurt."
" I know. There they are." Steve said, pointing at the several people coming out from the corner."

A few minutes earlier, outside the 89th street headquarters. Several dozen people were gathered, most people didn\'t know why they were there, but it was ordered by the boss.
It was not every day they got summoned by the group leader, so they all took it seriously. They had peace because of him; they would gladly give up their life for him. But they also know that their boss was not ruthless; he must have a good reason for calling them here.
"Jose, you are here too? didn\'t you open a meat shop on the outskirt? I heard you quit."
" Oh, Morales, yeah, I did. But I heard the boss call everyone; it looked like something serious. I am here to help in any way I can."
" I also don\'t know anything about it. Seniors are keeping a tight lid on it. But it looked like a piece of big news."
" I know. I never saw the boss call this many people before."
" Che! You guys really are clueless fools!" A skinny-looking guy said from the back. The people who heard him turned around to see him jeering at them.
" Huh, Fatso, is going insane, or all that powder has begun to melt your brain?" Someone said. The skinny dude was an addict; his nickname stuck around even after losing all his fat.
" Shut up! I heard it from mi Carnal. You know who my brother is, right?"
" You mean Mateo?"
" Si, I heard that princess finally has a man in her life. Moreover, he is coming here to meet the boss today!"
" What? How? When?"
" No, It is not true! Lilia! How could she do such a thing?"
" How can someone catch our diosa\'s eyes?"
" Didn\'t she used to say that she would marry me when she grows up?"
" Dude shut that up; that\'s creepy. You practically begged her to say that when she was six years old!"
" But I taught her to read! She was so cute then; I can\'t believe she has become so big!"
" Tell me about it. We haven\'t seen her in years. She must be coming too, right?\'
" I don\'t know about that. As far as I know, he is coming alone."
" Keke, that\'s perfect. I see why the boss called us here."
" Hehe, you are right. After seeing such a welcoming party, he will run away with his tail between his legs! Boys, bring out the big guns!"
" Ooo"
" These men are all the same. Che!"
" Forget about them. Have you seen him?"
Soon, the news about Samuel\'s arrival spread to the whole crowd. From old people to young boys and girls, everyone started talking about him as they waited for his arrival.
