I made A Deal with The Devil

Chapter 5: anything for an empire

.

At first, when Alexander had agreed to make the deal with Amir, he wasn't very serious about it.

It was the first time an Omega had come to find him, and above all, the Omega was the prettiest doll he had ever come across, so he ended up agreeing to see how far the pretty Omega would go.

Little did he know that Amir was as serious as ever about their deal and was determined to kill his enemy and bring his head to him.

**

"Amir! I can't believe you've found him without me?! And you ended up making a deal with him too?!" Nikolai was screaming and scolding him as Amir had returned from his first encounter with Alexander Ivankov.

He explained everything to Nikolai in detail, freaking him out.

"Well, what was I supposed to do? Wait for you? I found him and took my chances!" Amir said as he was lying on the cheap motel bed, being rather calm about the whole situation.

Ignoring the fact that he had to kill an infamous mob boss of Daegu.

Yes, Alexander’s 'enemy' was a famous gang leader in Moscow and Alexander wanted to get rid of him for months now.

His business was decreasing because of him, so now he had found a chance to get him out of the way.

"So...what are you going to do?" Nikolai sighed for the millionth time, feeling very stressed out over the whole situation.

He felt like Amir wasn't ready for this.

He wasn't ready to delve into this world.

He wasn't ready to become a murderer just yet.

He was a spoiled brat after all.

Could he handle all this?

"I'm going to kill him, what else?" Amir shrugged while still laying on the bed.

Nikolai sighing again, "Amir. If you want, I can kill him for you, okay?"

"What? No!" Amir pouted, crossing his arms, "Alexander might find out that I wasn't the one that killed the guy!" He said, "Besides, it's time for me to start...you know, so I will be the one to do it!"

"And how will you kill him? Do you know his whereabouts? Any weaknesses?" Nikolai started with the questions, hoping for the best.

He'd hate himself if something happened to Amir because of this stupid deal.

"Well Alexander gave me a few helpful...information. The guy from Moscow is kind of a creep and owns lots of illegal strip clubs. He's also behind an illegal Omega trafficking ring."

Amir’s information about the gang leader only made Nikolai worry more.

What if the worse happened and Amir ended up the property of the gang leader?

What if he became a slave, just like the other poor Omegas?

"...So, in other words, the guy is an asshole that likes using Omegas to his advantage?"

Amir nodded, sighing softly, "Yes, something like that. So my plan..."

"Don't tell me that you're thinking of going to one of his strip clubs?!" Nikolai’s voice was loud again, out of his worry for Amir and his very reckless plans.

"Duh? How else am I supposed to get in touch with that creep?"

Nikolai sighed again, rubbing his temple, "So what is the plan? You'll visit his strip club and kill him in front of everyone?"

Amir shook his head, "No. Be patient! My plan is not that reckless!"

Amir didn't have a proper plan.

It was his first time being assigned to kill someone. He was feeling very distressed and scared too.

But he had to do it, otherwise, Alexander wouldn't cooperate with him. He had to prove his worth to him.

He couldn't lose him now that he had found the devil who was willing to help him gain back his father’s empire.

''I-i was thinking to seduce the guy privately with my beauty. I mean who can resist me, right? And when he's mesmerized by me and thinks he's going to have a chance with me, I'll slit his throat and disappear!'' Amir explained his plan to Nikolai , the bodyguard looking up to him in worry again.

''Slit his throat?''

''You know I'm good with knives, come on! I know how to handle a gun too, but I'm more confident when it comes to knives and swords!'' It was true.

Amir knew how to use all kinds of swords and knives due to his father.

Though his father wanted to keep Amir away from his world, he did teach him a few things. He had a whole collection of swords, and now, the swords were Amir’s.

''And what happens after you slit his throat? Won't the others at the club discover what you've done? How can you just escape when you don't even know the club's whereabouts? I am not familiar with that illegal place..." Nikolai voiced out his worries after hearing Amir’s very chaotic plan.

In theory, it was a decent plan, but it had many loopholes.

Amir wasn't familiar with Magadan, let alone Moscow.

How could he plan to kill someone and think of escaping in a place that he wasn't familiar with? It wasn't possible!

''Dummy! I'm not going there unprepared! I will...scrutinize that shitty club and a few days later I will--'' Amir sighed before he continued explaining his plan to Nikolai, ''There's something you must do for me first though.''

''And what is that?''

''After we've learned the whereabouts of the club, I want you to...help me with something.''

It was another part of Amir’s plan.

''Here's what I have in mind...'' He started to explain, ''First, I will go to the club and disguise myself as a stripper. After that jerk shows interest in me, I will try to seduce him so he can take me to a more private place. Once we're alone and we get more intimate with each other, I will catch him off guard and slit his throat--though, here's where you come to help.''

''Go on...'' Nikolai nodded, eager to hear more of Amir’s plan.

''I want you...to find a way and turn the electricity off. Once I've killed the guy, the lights will be turned off for a few minutes, and I'll be able to escape!''

It was what he had in mind.

He'd disguise himself as an Omega stripper, seduce the gangster creep from Moscow, slit his throat, and flee from the scene while the lights would go out.

This way, no one would see who killed the gang leader.

''It's good in theory,'' Nikolai said, feeling more positive about the plan, ''But what happens if I can't turn the electricity off? Let's say something goes wrong and I can't do it on time?''

Amir shrugged, ''Then I will just die by the hands of the leader's minions~''

''Yah! Don't joke about this, Amir. Don't you know how serious this is?''

''I know, I know!'' Amir cried out, now pouting while laying on the bed, like a child getting scolded by his parent, ''B-but it's also dangerous for me back in Japan. I'm already in danger because that witch wants to sell me off to the black market! We must take the risk and...whatever happens, happens.''

''Fine...fine,'' Nikolai sighed exasperated, rubbing his temple from his distress, ''Pack your bags. We'll take the last train to Moscow. Tonight. The sooner we find the guy, the better-''

Amir immediately got up from the bed he was sitting on and hugged Nikolai from his excitement, ''Thank you, thank you, for believing in me,~don't worry everything will go well!''

''I hope so...''

After they packed all of their bags, they checked out of the cheap motel and headed to the train station.

They hopped onto the last train that left to Moscow at midnight.

The train wasn't as crowded since it was midnight.

Amir gazed outside of the window, enjoying the night scenery.

While staying and growing up in Japan, he often wondered how his mother's country would be.

And now, there he was.

But he probably wouldn't be staying for long.

As soon as he killed Alexander’s enemy, he'd be on his way back, taking the gang leader with him so they could marry.

Marry?

Just then, it hit him.

That he was going to marry and be someone's mate, very soon.

He was going to marry a stranger, who also happened to be a gang leader.

Oh...

He did not think this far.
