Victoria settled in Jos and got all the packages she needed to live comfortably and anonymously, as a perfect undercover agent.
One of the secret societies, Blackpool had caught waves of a young enigma with questionable wealth and high purchasing power in Jos.
And Victoria, who worked as an agent for Blackpool has been sent to the town, to find out about the person.
First on the to-do list, She has to find an empty house close to Black's location and rent it. She did not plan on buying it, because it will raise attention, as a young female buying an empty house in Jos.
So, the best option is to rent.
Well, unfortunately, there was no house close to Black's house, because he was living at the outskirt. And most of the houses at the outskirt, were either occupied or bought. Which led to option two, rent a room in one of Black's houses and engineer a way to get closer to him. And that worked just fine.
All the empty houses Black had bought were put up for rent. So, it was easy for Victoria to get one, but the trouble lies in the distance between the house she will get and Black's location. It was very difficult to get a free space within trekkable distance to his house. And because of that, she had no option than to rent a place with far but considerable and motorable distance.
Victoria had tried multiple times to meet with Black, either by accident or planned, but it never happened. It seemed that Black mysteriously avoids her. Victoria would plan to meet him after one of those occasional gatherings in which he was present, but he would have left before the end of the occasion. Sometimes, she had tried to catch up with him but his cab would have zoomed off before she was able to meet up.
She had written letters for a possible meet but there were never any response.
On a random afternoon, while Victoria was taking a stroll, writing out details as she communicates over her delayed progress so far in contacting Black. She was distracted and walked into a random man with an umbrella.
"Sorry, I was very distracted. I did not mean to..." Victoria pleaded.
The man looked at her and dismissed the whole encounter, "Do not bother, it is nothing.." He said and continued his journey.
Victoria was not satisfied with the response and apologized again. She asked for the young man's name which he told her politely and continued his journey.
"Black? What an interesting name. I wonder where that came from" Victoria asked herself amusingly. After the incident, she continued her report with her team updating them about how William Junior has been difficult to meet.
As an undercover agent, she recognized Black as William Junior, a young man in his twenties. The most recent picture of him in her possession was the last one caught at the subway café. There was no other one, so she was working with that.
So when she walked into him, she could not recognize him. The young man she had met that afternoon had a well trimmed grown beards with connecting moustache , a crew cut hairstyle, chiseled jaws and onyx eyes. He was breathtakingly handsome which prompted him to sometimes wear a nose mask or use an umbrella whenever he was to walk alone on the street.
Victoria returned home by evening, and took a cold shower. She ate a toast with cheese as dinner and brought out her notebook. She wrote a few things down and started reminiscing about her day. She remembered the young man she bumped into and started thinking about the event.
"I did not get to see his face properly, but he does smell good. I will ask around for him so I can ask him for his perfume collections."
"Black?... what a name. Anyways, let me focus on the main assignment for tonight. I know I will meet him soon, again". Victoria said while opening a case file that belonged to William Junior, and studying it till she fell asleep.
Black had not connected the Echo in three days because he had been engaging in other activities which had required his full time and attention. When he got home that evening, he freshened up and connected Echo to his computer. Echo voice sounded through the speaker as it came alive.
WELCOME BOSS, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU TODAY.
"How much do I have in all my accounts at the moment?" Black asked Echo.
FROM GATHERED ANALYSIS, YOU HAVE A TOTAL SUM OF $329,456. YOU HAVE TWENTY THREE HOUSES, AND ELEVEN ARE UP FOR RENT. YOU ALSO HAVE 3 HECTARES OF LANDS AND A PIG FARM.
Echo answered.
"Any information about John D'badtson? and his whereabouts?".
NO. THE LAST LOCATION I REGISTERED OF JOHN WAS AT HIS OFFICE. I RECALLED YOU HAVE LANDED PROPERTIES THAT WAS WILLED TO YOU BY ARTHUR.
"Nice one, Echo. What does the market have for me today?"
IN TODAY'S MARKET, GOLD IS CURRENTLY RANGING WITH NO CLEAR DIRECTION, GBPUSD IS EXPECTED TO FALL BY 1.67% AND USDJPY IS EXPECTED TO RISE BY 0.53%. SHOULD I GO AHEAD TO PLACE AN EXECUTION ORDER IN YOUR BROKER?
"Yes, go ahead with a total risk of $25,000 each. Target a one to five risk to reward on each trade as take profit. Remember, we have to secure every possible profit made".
YES, SO WE ARE EXPECTING A $125,000 EACH ON BOTH TRADES, AFFIRMATIVELY. YOUR LONG TERM POSITION ON GOLD IS PREVIOUSLY RUNNING AT $403,892 PROFIT.
"Help me secure a total of $60,000 from GBPUSD trade tonight, I want to buy about 15 empty houses tomorrow".
OKAY, BLACK. I WILL DO JUST THAT. I HAVE ABOUT ONE MINUTE TWELVE SECONDS BEFORE MY TEN MINUTES TIMER END.
"Good job Echo, you can disconnect now."
Black retired to his bed and grabbed Arthur's journal. He continued to read Arthur's journal while also writing out new experiences and abilities in which Echo was capable of but was not written in Arthur's journal, yet.
Along the line, he got distracted with his thoughts and remembered how a lady had walked into him that afternoon.
After a long thought, Black became curious who the lady was. She was sharp and beautiful, and her accent was different from the natives in Jos. She has a more toned skin and a different hair colour.
"Either she is new or she has not been in this town in a long term. I hope to see her again and ask."
Black dismissed the thought and continued his reading. Few minutes later, he clicked some keywords on his computer and a webpage displayed.
On the webpage, it showed the executive members of BlackPool corporation that everyone knew. But the enigmas that control the secret societies were not displayed.
Black wrote down a number from the webpage, and smiled.
"I can start from here.."
"I will make sure everyone of you is destroyed, that I can promise".
Black shut down his computer, arranged all the documents needed to finalize the house purchase for tomorrow and went to sleep.
