Chapter 67: Extortion
While Detective Lukar was busy tracking down the identities of the victims in the Imperial District, and Lance’s labor agency was attracting a steady stream of clients, Mr. Jobav found himself facing a different kind of trouble.
Mr. Jobav’s office was situated in the most vibrant part of the Imperial District. Though not officially the city center, this area was the heart of activity for the Empire’s citizens in Jingang City.
Tourists from the Empire often remarked to their families upon returning home that, even in an unfamiliar Federation city, one could thrive in certain neighborhoods that felt just like home.
Inside his opulent office, Mr. Jobav sat across from a young man on the genuine leather sofa.
The visitor’s green-dyed hair, orange jacket, blue pants, and white leather shoes painted a loud, obnoxious picture. Adding insult to injury, his shoes rested on Jobav’s $3,000 coffee table, scattering dust across its surface.
When his secretary had informed him that Jimmy was here to see him, Jobav’s first instinct was to tell her he wasn’t available. He even contemplated hiding, but it was too late.
Jimmy had kicked open the $1,500 solid wood door before the secretary could stop him. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, he swaggered in and slumped onto the sofa.
Jimmy was no ordinary visitor—he was a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood, one of the three major gangs in the Port District.
