Chapter 90 - Twelve Army

He stopped in front of a tall gate. On the sides of it were two towers with a uniformed private army on top of it.

The gate opened automatically, about 1 kilometer from the gate is a beautifully architectured 3-story building with signage on top of it that says "Twelve Army".

It was inside a 2500-acre private facility that is heavily guarded and surrounded by a tall perimeter fence.

He walked inside the building. A uniformed man meets him at the entrance and salutes at him.

"Has everyone arrived?" he asked with authority.

"Yes, sir! They're waiting for you at the conference room." the man replied while walking fast beside Jacob trying to keep up with his pace.

When the door to the conference room opened, there were twelve uniformed high-ranking officials sitting in a long table who stood up upon seeing Jacob entering the room.

Everyone sits down including Jacob. He looked at the officials in front of him. Most of them were in their late 40's to late 50's while some were of his age which is mid 30's up to early 40's. They were the 12 officials of Twelve Army under Jacob Parker.

Twelve Army is a private army company that trains and supplement private army. Founded by Benjamin Augustus Parker, Jacob's grandfather. It was named after the twelve armies that is headed by these twelve high ranking officials in front of him.

Each army is named after the 12 zodiac signs which are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These armies consist of several teams of skilled agents that are assigned to different missions.

Their missions could be as security of the VIP, private army of big political and business personalities or celebrities or to aid the government military with their missions as mercenaries.

"I'm sorry for summoning all of you here in such short notice," Jacob said with a tone of superiority.

"It's fine Boss, it's been a long time since you called us for a meeting. The last time was when you were still abroad and was through a video call. Finally, you are here." Taurus said.

Since the armies are named after the Zodiac sign, their leaders were aliased based on the army that they lead.

"Thank you, Taurus." It's been a while since Jacob came back and he only had a chance today to meet them. He has been busy with the hospital and his marriage.

"But I noticed that James is not here?" It was Pieces who speak up.

"I had him attend some meetings on my behalf. So how's the expansion going on?" Jacobs started his agenda.

It's been a month since the Twelve Army started its international expansion. At first, he was hesitant to do it but his grandfather wanted it so badly. It was his dream. He said that Jacob should start the process of expansion and he will find sufficient funding as if they were lacking for it. Which started to arrive a couple of months ago. He didn't question him about where are the funds coming from as the Elder Parker doesn't want his decisions to be questioned.

He assumed that while he went nomadic, he is also gathering funds from international organizations.

But what he didn't know is that the funds have been coming from The Robin Hood Society.
