Getting up to leave, Xavier truly did want to relax more with Eddie and his fiance, but time was of the essence and he didn't have the luxury of sitting around any longer. "Take down my number, and call me in case of any emergencies or if you need any help. I can get people to run any errands you have, so just focus on taking care of your health and the baby. Eddie will handle everything else," said Xavier to Eddie's fiance with a warm smile. She had endured a lot, and after speaking to her for so…-

After finding 2 suitable dojos and a building that was suitable for both Zack and Karim's units, Xavier had made verbal deals with all the owners, but they didn't mean much. And he knew that and wanted to secure the deals properly and also make sure that everything was clear and that there was no way that they could be forced out of the places or anything like that. But almost as if Eddie, the lawyer he had previously tried to recruit, could read his mind, Xavier received a call from an unknown…

Something completely unexpected happened... A fight that Xavier had been almost completely sure about the result of, and had also placed a large bet on, turned out completely opposite to what he had expected. But if it had been a complete upset, and both fighters put their all into the fight, putting on a great battle for everyone to watch, he couldn't have complained since losing was part of the game. However, he could see that one fighter had been holding back ever so slightly, almost as if he wanted…

Xavier was lucky that it was a big fight night at the Wild Dog Fight Club and, skimming through the line-up that Zack had prepared for him on the way there, there were multiple fights between those in the top 100 that he was looking forward to. However, despite going to be entertaining, those weren't the fights he foresaw making the most money on, since the odds wouldn't be high. Both fighters would usually be not far from each other on the rankings, and so the potential for profit, if he bet on the…

Surrounding Xavier, who had just left Achara's home after waking up not too long ago, before he could even thank Connor for bringing him the clothes he needed, or do anything else, he was cut off. "Zack told us how you planned on making the money and we already assumed it was something along those lines already," Achara revealed, which he had already realised. "And we're not here to stop you, but just to remind you that we can help you if you need us and are here to support you just as much as you want…

While heading to Achara's dojo after finishing his scouting for the day, Xavier gave Zack a call and told him to meet him at the dojo directly without any small talk, which surprised Zack. Xavier was almost always relaxed and playful unless he had something serious to say or was about to fight, but now he wasn't and seemed to have something on his mind. Whatever it was, it was unlikely to be good, and Zack was worried that something might have happened, but he was planning on heading to the dojo anyway,…

Eddie's brother, who had never even drunk or smoked a cigarette in his life, supposedly died of an overdose, and after finding some of the things his brother had been working on, Eddie was infuriated. But, seeking to get justice for his brother and shed light on all that his brother had discovered about some powerful figures and corporations that were in league with large criminal organisations, he worked day and night to continue his brother's work. However, the law failed him and no matter how hard he…

Only taking the time to catch his breath, drink some water and grab a snack, Xavier was on the move most of the day, and even with his great stamina, it was hard not to feel fatigued. At that point, he was basically dragging his feet along from how heavy they felt, but he still kept going and had managed to visit quite a lot of the places and people that he had listed out with Zack. However, despite that, he was yet to accomplish even one of his objectives. Of course, Xavier wasn't satisfied with how…

"So if I'm right, the reasoning behind what we've done is dojos for Connor and Sam's units, an accountant and lawyer as well as an office for my unit, and a gathering space for Karim and his unit," Zack summarised. "Yeah, and there's still more," Xavier revealed. After working on the first few objectives for a few hours, Zack had formed a list of suitable people and places for all the criteria that Xavier had set, which was much larger than Xavier had previously expected. And he had to check each and…

'Zack really has changed, hasn't he? He seems to have broken out of that shell of his and he truly will be one of the greatest assets of the Outlaw Gang. Everything he can do is just so impressive.' Xavier couldn't help but think to himself after Zack left the room. Since Zack would be gone for a while to wash up and eat breakfast, Xavier was left with his own thoughts, and that was not something he liked to be left with. 'I really should go and see my mother and take more care of her, but I can't this…
