They followed the man for a while, they were lead around the city. Everyone was surprised about the path they were following, as it was almost as though they were following through a maze. They were lead through alleys and around small street vendors.
Until they finally reached a small door on the side of the building, one that was so inconspicuous. It looked as though it would belong to a normal family and lead to a small house. Yet the moment the door was opened they were greeted by a stairway.
The walls looked as though they were created with marble, but along those walls were lamps, lighting up the stairway that led them 40 metres underground. At the bottom of the stairway was a thick metal door that was tightly shut.
"Our boss is at the bottom of this stairway, once you reach the bottom the door will open and you should be prepared to feel the wrath of our boss," The man said as he gestured for the group to walk down the stairway.
"Just like I said before, I want to see how this boss of ours will make us regret our decisions through their wrath," said Lachlan as he brushed past. He began walking down the stairs, quickly followed by Simon, then Chloe, then the rest of the group.
As Simon brushed past the man he turned his head towards him, "I'm feeling excited to see whatever your boss is planning, hopefully they don't disappoint us like your friend Thomas did."
Once the group was in the man closed the doors behind them. They didn't mind, there wasn't anything to be afraid of anyway. They could just bust out of here and tear this whole place apart with the simple use of a gravity stone.
...
Outside the door the man that opened it was shaking in fear. Although he portrayed a brave figure as he led the group here, inside he was completely terrified. The amount of strength needed to completely pulverise someone's arm was something he couldn't fathom.
"Are we going to wait around to collect their corpses, there's no way they'll be able to survive against our boss," One of the others remarked as he leaned against the wall.
"You should get Thomas the help he needs at the nearest hospital, I'll go take care of something else," He said as he began walking away.
The rest of the people there didn't think anything of it, they grabbed hold of Thomas and carried him over to the nearest hospital.
At a distance in the outskirts of the city the man entered his home, he quickly shut the door and locked it before running around his house closing and locking all those as well. He had no faith in his boss, unlike the others, he knew how strong their boss was and he wouldn't be able to handle even the lightest slap from Lachlan let alone win in a fight.
So instead, he would bunker up and wait till Lachlan and the group leave the town.
...
Inside the stairway, the group had just reached the metal door. It was almost double the size of Lachlan when he stood in front of it, on it was a bit of graffiti that represented the groups banner or insignia.
It was a large Tiger devouring a crocodile, it had no injuries on its bodies and its fur looked perfectly clean and tidy. As though the fight it had experienced only took a single stare to kill the crocodile.
"Hm, pretty arrogant insignia if I do say so myself," said Simon as he got a closer look.
"Should we knock? I didn't see any cameras along the stairwell so they might not be able to see us," said Chloe. The group looked around and saw that there really wasn't any cameras, Lachlan turned back towards the door, "Suppose there isn't a reason now too."
*Knock*Knock*Knock*
Although Lachlan wasn't sure how thick the door was, he made sure to use enough strength so that the boss on the other side is certain to hear it. He then took a step back and waited.
After getting no reaction Simon went up to the door and pulled back his fist. He stomped on the ground and twisted his body, his fist slammed against the door.
*Bang!*
As Simon pulled back his fist he left an indent on the door, when they looked through they realised the door was a lot thicker than they previously assumed. It looked to be 40cm thick, it was also heavily reinforced.
"That should wake them up," Simon said as he frowned with annoyance. He made sure to punch hard enough to leave a lasting impression on the leader's mind, maybe even imprint fear into the core of their body.
They waited for a bit and just as Simon was about to go up and throw another punch the door opened up. It was a sliding door, it opened up and they were greeted with a feel furnished room.
The room was completely white and spotless of any dirt, there was a couch and two chairs by a TV, they were all matt black. The kitchen bench was made out of an aqua green marbling, while a large old wooden table was placed in the centre of the area with 8 chairs around it.
"Welcome, I'm sorry for not letting you in sooner but I was in a bit of a mess, I didn't want to greet my guest with a pigsty now do I," They heard a devilishly charming woman's voice coming from the side of them.
Turning around they noticed a woman standing by an entrance to a hall. She was tall and slender, wearing a vibrant red dress that seemed to be stuck to her body, showing off her devilish curves. Her silky black hair flowed down to her waist. Her eyes were dark blue, they felt as though they were getting devoured by the ocean just staring at them.
"My name's Catalina Gonzalez, you have some nerve beating up my child in the way that you did. You publicly humiliated him, dragging my name through the mud along with it," Catalina said as she licked her crimson red lips. "You're going to pay for what you did."
"So you're the boss?" Lachlan asked.
"Indeed, I'm the real boss, the one that hides in the shadows and controls everyone's every move. That husband of mine is merely a front, as it leaves me untouchable since all the blame will fall onto him," Catalina said proudly. "Now I wouldn't mind being more lenient if you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy."

'Huh, not all that much. Although I will say, she certainly doesn't look her age, not with those looks' Lachlan thought he was daydreaming when he saw her age, as the sheer difference is too much. Catalina, although 52, looks like she's in her 20s.
"Zhang, how about you take care of her?" Turning back Lachlan asked Zhang who was at the back of the group. He had been rather silent the entire time they've been in Patagonia, only watching everything that's happened.
"Can I? I'd rather not," Zhang blushed as he scratched his head. "I'd rather not hurt such a charming woman, just something about it doesn't feel right."
"Sigh! This is exactly what people would take advantage of, I swear you boys only think with your other head," Chloe responded in annoyance. "I'll take care of it, will it Lachlan?"
"Go right ahead, although there's no need for you to do that," said Lachlan. "How about you Brianna, you want to give it a shot? You don't have to worry, if anything goes south we'll be there to protect you."
"I suppose I can give it a try, but do remember, I'm feeling slightly ill," Brianna explained shyly. Lachlan wasn't surprised, he would be surprised if there was ever a time when she wasn't sick.
"Oh yes, before this fight goes on I just want to make sure of something. You wouldn't mind just giving up and giving us the crystals, would you? That would certainly solve the problem fast and no one would get hurt," Lachlan explained to Catalina in a cocky tone.
"Huh! I'll think about it if you're even alive after I'm done with you," Catalina said angrily. She sneered in disdain at the thought of everything being resolved it such a way, she had to get her payback.
"You heard that Brianna, make sure you keep here alive, don't be too harsh," Lachlan said jokingly. Catalina's frowned at the insulting remark, acting as though she wouldn't be able to win this fight.
Looking towards her opponent Catalina grinned widely, as her opponent looked rather weak, as though she would fall over to a gentle breeze of wind. Granted, she had plenty of other means should anything get messy.
"Alright then, where should the fight happen?" Lachlan looked around and didn't think this place would be a good spot for the fight. It looked as though there were many valuables here, just the couch looked as though it was made from some expensive leather.
"Of course right here," Catalina said as she opened her arms wide. "There's no need to change locations, I won't even need a minute to crash your little lackey's body into pieces, similar to what you did to my son."
"Okay," Lachlan shrugged and turned around towards Brianna. "Alright, this is going to basically be your first real fight, you want to make sure to make it impressive, we don't want you dragging our name through the mud now do we."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to end this as fast as possible," said Brianna. She walked to the front of the group and began some quick breathing exercises to calm herself down. This was her first real fight after all, she was nervous.
Catalina and Brianna stood across from each other, they were both facing each other ready to fight. Lachlan walked over a bit, close to the middle of the gap between the two. "Alright, the fight will begin in 3, 2, 1."
"Fight!"
