CHAPTER 3
Affiliation with the mafia is neither political nor religious.Over the years, the Mafia has gained money by engaging in a wide range of criminal operations. During Prohibition, mobsters traded in illegal drugs, prostitution, booze, and gambling, to name a few.Families engage in a range of activities to help the Mafia achieve its primary financial objective. One of the most frequent and easiest is extortion. Extortion is the act of intimidating someone into making a financial contribution. Extortion tactics are used in the mafia "protection rackets". The twist is that the crooks that pose a threat to the company are the Mafia members themselves.Burglaries and muggings can occasionally bring in money, but the capos are aware that for their operations to be most profitable, they must be carried out on a larger scale. They do this by stealing trucks and loading them with complete loads of stolen items. In order to "misplace" crates and shipments that ultimately end up in the hands of the Mafioso, mafioso may pay off truck drivers or port personnel. Any equipment could be among the stolen goods. That's what Luther was planning to do, to take advantage of the secret trading."The Lopez family doesn't order packages, so maybe you're sending the wrong one, kid," the security guard said to a man who introduced himself as a delivery man."Isn't this the address of Marvic Gragera?" "No, this is the Lopez family's mansion, and it looks like you've been snubbed, kid." The man shook his head, feeling sorry for the young delivery man."Is that so? It appears that I've been duped. I'll go ahead then," the young man said without looking at the entrance before exiting the gate.They arrive at the expensive masquerade birthday celebration of Jin, the sole son of the Lopez family, posing as guests and the mask requirements allow the two of them to enter the party undetected while evading security."Easy," Kheed smirked with the success of getting inside, while Lucas positioned himself where he could see all of the guest's actions, ready to carry out the plan they devised.The setting of the event screams wealth, demonstrating to the nobles the family's dominance. They won't be surprised because this family is extremely wealthy. The gathering is quiet and elegant, with many wealthy families and government officials in attendance. However, the family source of the alliance is not yet present. "I haven't noticed the target here." "The same here.""It's best to arrive first than them, just like the plan," Lucas said, and the place erupted. When the young CEO of one of the Philippines' largest companies arrived, the previously fully elegant place was replaced by the loud screams of women. Which was enhanced by his midnight blue tuxedo with notch lapels, which he paired with a renowned footwear company's limited-edition top-of-notch dusky black shoes. It's masked but you can still see the handsome man.This is not often seen in gatherings, so everyone is delighted and eager to get their hands on the young CEO's palm." The power of Luther Devmon Cromwell," Kheed said, greeting Luther with the hidden lapel under the coat. "So, where are they?" is a reasonable question."They're at the goods are.""How about the objective?" "They haven't shown up." "I'm not sure if you're gay, you're only looking for men," Kheed said, shaking his head at the young man who was looking for him. " Watch your mouth. One more word, I'll crush it like meat"The young man just shrugged and didn't seem to mind. He knew his friend wasn't gay; he just wanted to make fun of him. "There are many beautiful and sexy people here, but the ugly ones are the ones you're looking for," Kheed said as the young man turned away."Is everything ready?" Luther asked Lucas, who was standing nearby. "Everything is ready; we just have to wait." After some time, a waiter approached the newly arrived young CEO and handed him a glass of wine. Many more people approached the young man, who welcomed them with open arms. After a few moments, there was another commotion. The crowded area was divided into sections. The entrance will see a group that the three are very familiar with. "They're right here."One would think a famous personality had arrived because of the commotion. Even though he is not an actor, this is what the three have been waiting for.The designated richest foreigner in the Philippines. It is none other than the Asano Group of Companies. This is also one of the things that some business owners are most afraid of colliding with for fear of their company collapsing and the spread that this family is known in their country as the Yakuza.Yakuza are organized crime groups. Like all criminal gangs, they engage in a number of the same money-making activities. Yakuza are known for their involvement in illegal gambling and prostitution, as well as the lucrative trafficking of illegal items like drugs, weapons, and pornographic material.Being a part of organized crime is not illegal in Japan, unlike the Mafia, therefore Yakuza don't hide their affiliation with the gang. In addition, they openly parade since they are so deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.This is also the cause of increased fear in their organization. They are not afraid to commit crimes openly because they hold high government positions."It's time to get moving," said Lucas, who was quickly followed by the two others. The young CEO created even more of a spectacle, which the women enjoyed, not expecting the entertaining attitude of the company's cold prince. It created tension because the person who organized the meeting was pleased to see one of the country's largest businesses, believing that it would be of great benefit to their company. "I'm glad you made it.""My pleasure, the wine is nice," the young man said as he held out the slim glass in his hand.The young man's words brought a smile to the old man's lips. "Well, what can you expect from a costly one? Hahaha," the young man says just smiling, not minding the old man's arrogance."They hide the goods in the basement," Lucas said, looking at his laptop and activating the Lugar system. "You have one minute to get there and five minutes to steal the items.""Copy," Luther replied, and he began to act.The Lopez family enthusiastically welcomed the Asano family and introduced them to the other guests. The family was overjoyed thinking about the benefits, power, and protection they would receive after the party, especially since the young CEO of the country's largest exporter and the most powerful family attended. Everyone had a good time until the moment came when the secret trading between Lopez and Asano was about to begin... "My lord, please excuse my intrusion, but I have important things to say," one of Lopez's men said."What's more important than talking with the royals?" old Lopez asked, raising his cup to the person in front of him. " by the way, have you prepared the goods? my guests are excited to see how wealthy my family is."That's the reason why I came in," the man explained, unable to look. " The goods were stolen""What?" exclaimed the old man, rushing to the spot where they had carefully placed the items."Where the fvck is it?!" yelled the old man, staring around the empty room." Mission accomplished," Lucas smirked as he looked at the man driving a large truck away with the stolen goods, none other than the CEO of Cromwell Enterprise.Being a Mafia member entails doing dirty business and getting your hands dirty with illegal activities such as drug trafficking, shark lending, gambling, and even murder.Luther, on the other hand, has a different plan. Luther devised a strategy to deal with them based on the information he obtained from Kheed and the perfect plan devised by Lucas. He devastates both parties' intended product exchange by hijacking their goods, giving the impression that both parties are cheating on each other. He was acquiring high-end goods and drugs that he could sell and export without spending a dime. His so-called mafia organization is rising to the top without much effort, and That's how he goes about his dirty business."I'm off to the north, tell K he can go ahead with the final blow," Luther said as he removed his black cap aboard the big cargo truck with express delivery on it, grinning widely because of their successful product acquisition. " Copy," said Lucas on the other end of the line before the young man hung up and removed the prosthetic mask he was wearing to reveal his true and very handsome face.This is one of the young man's abilities that ensures the success of all their plans. He can pretend, change his demeanor, and even his voice using a voice changer.He drove fast and transferred the still-warm cargo they just stole putting them in a safe place where they planned to keep it hidden. It was in the middle of the forest hiding underneath the big tree where no one would think that there is a huge warehouse underneath. It is also near where the party was held so it was easy for Luther to transfer all the items inside before his enemies knew about it.Sneering, he drove the truck he was riding into where they had wanted to conceal the taken products. Additionally, a black Lamborghini is waiting for him at the location to divert the robbery suspect.He changes his clothes and burns the evidence. He quickly hopped into the car waiting for him and drove where he was supposed to finish their mission.After switching cars, he lit up a cigarette thinking of another huge success for his organization. He is one step closer, he knew he was. Just a little bit more he can start working on his revenge.While driving along the street near the location where he was compelled to attend a gathering and shop for a future model shook his head to forget that past that was annoying him when he heard a crash in front of his car.Luther frowned yet came to a halt for a moment, thinking it might have been a cat or a dog that had been run over. However, the noise was too loud for an animal. Still thinking about their ongoing operation, the young man was about to restart the engine but couldn't bear the thought of abandoning the animal that had been run over in the middle of the street. The young man also has a dog and his conscience is taking over him. After putting on the cap, the young man exited the car only to discover that it was pouring heavily. Setting aside the weather, He took a quick look at the car's bumper and was taken aback by what he saw. He does not run over an animal, but rather a person. His Head, face, and body are all covered in blood. The young man could not avoid falling to the ground at the same time that the past was quickly shown to him, causing him to suffocate from the sight of blood all over the road. He saw the things that often happened in his dreams again and again. The young ma
"Then should I just kill her?" this question completely baffled the two young men. "What? Are you insane?" Lucas exclaimed in disbelief. "We vowed not to harm innocent people on this mission, that includes killing one, Luther." "Didn't you think there might be a family waiting for her? How could you say such things?" Kheed's tone was surprisingly resentful. "Then what do you think is good?" "There must be something we could do, but let's help her first and clean up this mess you made," Lucas replied, shaking his head and looking at the woman next to him. "Is she still breathing?" Kheed inquired, recalling a bitter incident because of the girl's condition. "She is, but if we don't get there in ten minutes, she might die," Lucas replied. " Oh shit!" Kheed exclaimed as he drove the car as fast as he could to the private rest house owned by Lucas's family. They quickly brought her inside and saw a swarm of people wearing surgical gowns waiting for them. "Oh my god, what happened t
"Shit... Seriously?" Kheed reacted worried to what he heard, while the young man who caused it showed no reaction at all. "The crash was so intense that some tissues from her brain ruptured that the doctor had to operate on her for twenty hours straight; it's a miracle she's still alive considering how badly she was injured," Lucas added. "What about her face? Does she have scars?" Kheed inquired once more. "Are you seriously still thinking about her face?" "Why? Only a few people are blessed with that kind of face, it is necessary to care about it," Lucas responded with a shake of his head. "In any case, this remains a problem for us; the longer she remains in a coma, the longer we must wait." "Do we also have to pause our operations?" Kheed inquired. "I guess we should stay low for the time being until we can fix this mess." "How about the Asano? Have you heard anything from them? Did they do anything after their supposed trading failed?" Kheed inquired once more. "Their clan
CHAPTER 7 It's been a month since the accident, but the girl has yet to awaken. There is also no information about her family, and no one is looking for the girl. Every day, the young man went to the girl's location, hoping to see some improvement in her condition, but he had bad luck. The young man was eager to complete their two-year mission and couldn't wait any longer. "I'm not going to wait for her anymore; I'm done with this!" exclaimed the young man as he entered his office. "Just wait a little longer, the doctors said, she's getting better," Lucas tries to reassure his friend. "Getting better? Look at her condition, Lucas; she's still fvcking comatose!" "Yeah, I know," Lucas replied calmly, "but we don't have a choice; we have to wait. Seeing her still in that condition does not imply that nothing has changed; the doctor also stated that there is a good chance she will wake up one of these days." "One fvcking month has been wasted waiting for her, and I'm not going
Chapter 10 The girl finally awakened after two months of waiting. The three young men dashed over to the girl's location. Kheed was overjoyed with the news, not because of the mission, but because he could finally meet and talk to the girl. While Luke and Luther were both thinking about the mission. It's been a long time for the young man, and now that she's awake, he's not going to waste another year. "Where is she?" Kheed asked the doctor, who had just emerged from the woman's room. The doctor was taken aback, not expected the young men to appear immediately. "She's inside, but she's — wait! You need to know something first!" the doctor yelled at the three impatient men. They entered quickly and noticed a young woman sitting on the edge of the bed. She was wearing a bandage on both her head and arm, and a cast on her legs. Some scars can still be seen, though they have faded. Nonetheless, her beauty is stunning, leaving Kheed speechless. "Shit...She's even better in person,"
Chapter 9 "Oh my god! Doc! She's awake!" A woman's voice resonated throughout the room, ultimately causing my eyelids to open and reveal an array of white. Am I dead? Is this the afterlife? "It's a miracle," says another voice. "Call the young master and inform him that she has awakened," "Finally, you're awake." More voices I heard nearby. Is heaven really this loud? Still feeling the pain, I tried to turn around and saw women in white pacing the room, hurrying their every move. I looked around and noticed the structure's contents. The room is white and wooden. It doesn't have that design, but if you look around the room, it's clear that money has been spent. From the cabinet to the sofa to the paintings on the wall. There is also a large mirror near my bed that I believe is worth a thousand dollars. I'm sure this place is only for the wealthy. But... What am I doing? What exactly am I doing here? I'm not familiar with this location... Could it just be one of my
Chapter 10 "She's very beautiful, isn't she? Even her complexion is porcelain as if she's bathing in milk," a nurse who was wiping the girl's cheek said. " True, even her eyes are unusual; they're so light and golden in color; could she be a foreigner?" another nurse inquired. "Perhaps; her appearance is unusual among us Filipinos, but the information attached to her is the opposite," responded another nurse. " Her parents are both Filipinos," she says. "Maybe she's adopted?" "Be quiet, Clara. The young men might hear you," reprimanded the oldest of them and stand as the head nurse. While looking around, the nurse covered her mouth. "I apologize." "I saw the information that the young master provided as well as the photos of the girl's family; she looks exactly like her brother, and his eyes are also golden in color," said the person wiping the girl's face. "Then the young woman appears truly blessed; her acquired beauty is divine," the two agreed. " This is probably why
Lucas was surprised to see the mother's response. Her fear was noticeable, but what she said surprised him the most. According to the lady, the girl already has a boyfriend. And the lady is afraid of her boyfriend. If that's the case, he can't use the previous strategy because if she's afraid of the lover and the girl has amnesia, she'll take the girl away. He needs to alter his strategy, and he already knows what to do. He will use her terror from the frightening boyfriend into cooperating with them. "No, that wasn't what I meant." Lucas addressed the lady. "I'm here to inform you of her condition." "W-why? What's the p-problem?" I stammered again. "May I enter?" Despite her hesitation, the lady let the young man inside and despite her lack of funds, the lady was still able to provide the young man with something to drink, "thank you." "W-what w-what happened to my daughter?" she inquired once more. "She was in an accident, but she's fine now. There's just a small problem," he ex
