"What are you doing here? And what the fuck are you two over here whispering about?" Razor barks at the girl again. "Lower your voice, and don't forget where you are." Mathayus hissed at Razor. "She is one of my people; I'll talk to her however I damn well please." Razor hissed back. "She may be one of your people, but she is currently my guest. Leave her be and come with me; I wish to speak to you in private," Mathayus said, his tone calm and controlled. He then winked at her before walking away.
As soon as Razor was out of sight, Rohan ran up to her. "Well?" "I think he will help." "You think? What did he say?" "He didn't get a chance to say anything, but he did wink at me before leaving." "What the hell does that even mean?" Rohan asked out loud in frustration. "What does what mean?" Blade asked from behind them. Rohan jumped and turned to face Blade.
"Just something my girl said." He replied nervously. "Trouble in paradise?" Blade laughs. "Yeah, you could say that." "How did you even get here?" Blade ask. "I came with Jody." "Does the Boss know that you're here?" "No." "Yeah, didn't think so, anyway you and your girl can sort out your issues on your way back home, right now I need you to help me load some things in the Boss's car." Blade says before walking away. "Maybe we should just accept our fate; there is no escaping these people." He says dejectedly as he follows Blade.
On entering the house, one of the guards led Mathayus to a door, bowed before him, then walked back towards the main entrance. Mathayus then led Razor into the room, closing the door behind him. "What is this about?" Razor asked impatiently. "This is about us parting ways." "Yeah, right, you're funny. There's no way we can part ways now; we are family." Razor laughs.
"Razor, we are not family. I am the future King of my country, and you're the leader of a gang. Because of the post we occupy, we can no longer be acquainted with each other. I took a big risk having you here today, but I allowed it because of what you did for me..."
"Hang on just one damn minute, are you fucking serious right now?" "Yes, I am." "Fuck that, Liah is my goddaughter, there's no way I will allow you to cut me out of her life!"
"Razor, like it or not, Liah is no longer related to you in any way; she is now my wife and the future Queen of my country, but don't worry, I have something that you would rather have around than Liah and I." Mathayus chuckles. "And what would that be?" Opening a closet, Mathayus took out a big black duffel bag and placed it on the table before them. He then opened the bag and pushed it towards Razor.
"This is a bonus to the three I left in your vault, a little thank-you gift for all you did for me." "So what? You're just going to shove money at me, walk away, and pretend you never met me? Is that what you're doing right now?" Razor asked, swallowing the lump that had formed in his throat. "No, as long as I breathe, I will never forget you. As I'm sure you will never forget me, we just can't be acquainted with each other." "I lost Jermaine, and now you want to leave me too; you're such a fucking ass hole," Razor says, looking at the money with disgust.
"You know what? Fuck dat, if you think I'm just going to stand aside and let you walk away from me, think again. If you try to cut ties with me, I'll tell this whole fucking country who you are and that you are a member of my gang, how about dat?" Razor growls.
"Think about what you just said; that would be a really stupid thing to do, wouldn't it? On one hand, my connections would allow me to leave your Island a free man, but you and your men would spend the rest of your lives in prison." "Oh, so you really think that you would be able to walk away from this a free man? Are you forgetting that you're responsible for signing one of the biggest drug lords in America to my gang as an investor? Not even I could accomplish that; you think that you can leave here a free man after doing that?"
"Yes, because I had no idea who I was and was only doing what I was told, not to mention that you forced me to accept the leadership role while you went off and got yourself shot, and got Jer...." Mathayus's voice trails off, and he bites his lip to avoid saying anything else.
"And got Jermaine killed, right?" "I apologize, I didn't mean to say that." "What, it's the truth, isn't it?" "Just stop, stop using threats against me, because we both know that I'm not someone you want for an enemy. Right now you have two choices: cut ties with me today, return to your community and continue with your mission, or make me your enemy and watch me single-handedly dismantle your gang and burn your base to the ground. The choice is yours."
"Now who is using threats?" Razor snorts. "That is not a threat, you know for a fact; that is something I am capable of." "Fine, you want to leave? Then leave; who wants a pain in the ass like you around anyway." Razor growls, turning his back to Mathayus. "Wise choice. Now, on a different note, Anthony is now a member of my family, which means he can no longer be a member of your gang; you will be parting ways with him as well."
"Did he agree to that?" "Yes, but don't give him a hard time; I didn't exactly give him a choice." "I see." "The second person you will be parting ways with is Evan. He has done a great job protecting my princess and unborn children, and I would like for him to continue." "Why not let one of your guards do that?" "My princess isn't close to any of my guards. She will be more comfortable with Evan. His sisters, whom I've heard you threatened more times than I can count, are now under your protection; guard them well or you'll answer to me."
"Feeling yourself, aren't you?" Razor growls. "Not that I'm aware of, I'm trying to end this function so that my princess can spend the remainder of the evening feeling me as much as she desires." Mathayus reply. "Okay, so the third person..." "You must be out of your fucking mind," Razor states, zipping the bag shut. "Again, not that I'm aware of, but there is one more person that will not be returning with you." "Just who the fuck do you think you are to remove my men from my gang?"
"Who am I? I am the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and you do not want to piss me off." Mathayus says, meeting Razor's glare head-on. "Now, as I was saying, the third person that will not be returning with you is Rohan." "What the fuck does Rohan have to do with any of this?" Razor asked through clenched teeth. "I have a mission for him." "Ass hole, you have an army; what could you possibly need Rohan for?" "Something personal."
"The only way out of my gang is in a fucking body bag. What do you think you are doing right now?" Razor growls. "Reserve your body bags for your enemies. If at any time Anthony decides to return to your gang, he will have to part ways with me and his family. Evan and Rohan will be under my protection until their services to me have ended." "Fine, but Rohan's girl comes with me," Razor says, his tone final, but Mathayus's snort says otherwise.
"She stays," Mathayus says. "Like hell, she does." "I need him; he needs her; she stays." He says, slowly lifting his eyes to meet Razor's. "What the fuck are you up to?" "That's not something you need to concern yourself with, anyway I can't say that it was a pleasure meeting you but I do thank you for helping me," Mathayus says bowing slightly to Razor, and before Razor knew what was happening Mathayus pulls him into a big bear hug.
"Take care of yourself, and I am sorry for your loss, my country need me, so even though I've lost three people that was very dear to my heart, I still need to be strong." Razor rests his chin on Mathayus's shoulder, but his arms remain at his side as Mathayus continues. "Your community needs you, so be strong and be safe." Patting Razor's shoulder, Mathayus steps back and, after a final nod, turns and walks away.
