“The devils are here tonight.”
Those were the only words Kon's mind decided to replay as he walked through the tables. He got orders from a few of the tables in the first three rooms. And he was yet to enter the upper rooms.Those rooms at the other end of the hall are known as the VVIP rooms. They are always occupied by those of importance to the city.Especially, Men, you shouldn't trifle with.“Phew.”Kon wiped the sweat from his brows when he finally made a round through the first three rooms.He hated this part of his job. However, there was no way he can quit, as this is the only place willing to employ a high school student. And not only that, but the tips he gets from here, coupled with his pay, are more than any place can ever pay him.That's the reason he decided to stay here.The reason Kon hated the VIP was because of what happened in there.Unlike the ordinary areas of the bar, the things that happen in the VIP area aren't something a young student like Kon should be allowed to see.However, the things that go on in the VIP area are nothing compared to the things that go on in his home.His mother has turned their home into a mini local brothel.Tonight, the strippers have gone to the extreme. Three of the girls were dancing naked on the pole as the rich men, who frequent the bar, clapped their hands as they watched the females in anticipation.“Phew.” Kon breathed out a sigh of relief when he stepped out of the third room so far. Working in the regular room is better than working in the VIP. At least he won't have any need to be civil, despite the urge he has to hit one or two of the men who tried to cup a feel.He doesn't understand the men enough.How can men want to touch another one as they do to females?It's something they do that he doesn't understand. And Kon doesn't want to understand.The only language he understands is the Language of fists.“Where are you going, cutie?” One of the men, who came out of the second door, staggered close to Kon.The black tiger as the man is known is the head of the Loan shark company. At the young age of twenty, he was able to kill his father and take over the company.The black tiger is a young man in his late twenties.He's always dressed in black attire, and he always wears black boots. No one else has ever seen him wear any shoes aside from the black boots. And that caused a rumour that's going around the town.Most believed that those black boots are his lucky charms.And in some ways, they are his lucky charms. Not that anything lucky has happened to him with the boot. However, he believed in that.After all, they were given to him by the only person he admired; his grandmother.He was putting on the black boots the night he killed his father, mercilessly in cold blood.And since then, the black tiger has been feared among the people. He's not a man to be trifled with.The dark knife mark that ran from his forehead and through the right part of his face, made him formidable.However, Kon doesn't seem to mind. After all, he has nothing to lose. His family already owns tons of money. He had nothing of value to his name.“Work.” Just a word and Kon started heading over to the fourth room for the night.His work was Just simple. All he had to do was take orders from the people in there, and pass them across to the bartenders.Each night, he makes a round of the various rooms three times before he calls it a night. During the three times, his job was to take orders and deliver them to those who requested them.“Where do you think you are going to? I'm not done talking to you?”“And you think I care?” Kon bites back in anger.The man was stunned at his questions. Never have someone been bold enough to challenge the black tiger.“Who are you?” The black tiger seethes in anger. He has his palms balled in anger as he narrowed his eyes at the boy who dared to challenge him.“I'm a boy who has nothing to do with you.”Kon's hand ached to make a collision with the stupid man's jaws. But he held himself from doing that because he knows that nothing good can come from causing trouble.“Hey!” The black tiger raised his hand to hit Kon who was ready to retaliate.He hates to fight, but when the other part starts a fight, he's not one to back down from it.“Master!” One of the black tiger's men ran out of the room. He glanced around, searching for his master. “Master!” He ran to where the black tiger and Kon were currently having a staring contest.Alone in the dark corridor that's only illuminated by the red bulb, the two men stood in front of the fourth door, staring down at each other as if they were preparing for a match.Kon was ready for him. He was ready to show the black tiger that this poor boy from the slums isn't ready to back down from a fight.“What is it?” The black tiger asked, without turning to look at his man.“We got a call from the company. There is a situation at the North—”The black tiger raised his hand, and that caused his minion to stop talking.He knew that if he doesn't stop his minion, the fool will go on spurting words no other person should be privy to.“If you don't mind, I will be on my merry way.” Kon wasn't ready to listen to whatever the two might wish to discuss. He has something important to do, and that's to check on the others in the other rooms.Kon walked towards the fourth room. His entire focus was on his duty. He didn't even bother to think of the dumb leader of the black tiger, whom he would have punched to hell had he tried anything funny with him.“Stupid fellows always thinking they can bully someone like me?” Kon scoffed.“They don't know who I am.” He wiped the sweat from his brows before he entered the last room.Phew.He sighed.It was time for him to meet the rumoured devil and his men.“Wait, who am I kidding?” He laughed, “it's not as if the devil will notice me even if I'm one of the strippers dancing on the pole.”Everyone knows the devil is a player, but no one has seen him with any females.It's not as if Kon has seen him in person. However, the things he has heard about the devil presided over him.Kon took a deep, steady breath before he entered the room.Unlike the previous rooms he took orders from, the music was low here.There was no sight of the female strippers around. And that made Kon wonder what
“How dare you!” The sniper growled at Kon.“I dare much,” Kon narrowed his eyes at the man. “If you don't know where to keep your hands, you better seek ways to cut it off your shoulders, and stick them down your throat.” Kon turned and started for the door, without bothering about those around.The men with the sniper tried to stop him, but the devil raised his hand, signalling that they should allow him to pass.He was still awed by the youth who looks as fearless as a wolf.It pleased him to see Sniper brought to his knees.“This will teach you to go for those on your level.” He smirked as he watched Sniper glower.The devil knew it wasn't over for the boy, but at least, he was safe until they leave there.However, the devil doesn't intend to allow the sniper to get to the boy before him.Any fellow that can bring the egoistic sniper to his knees is worth keeping.“Rubbish!” Kon fumed in irritation as he left the place. He felt like kicking everyone he sees, but he kept the temper
“Can I pass?” Kon asked in a calm voice.“You—”“It's okay. I will take it from here.” The devil who has got tired of watching his men make a fool of themselves decided to take matters into his hands.He knew if he does nothing, they will end up arguing with the boy until morning.“Okay, boss.” The men bowed to the devil before they left, with their hearts feeling heavy for the poor boy who doesn't know what he has got himself into.“Do you—” Kon turned, intent on giving the so-called devil peace of his mind. However, the words in his throat froze when he saw the handsome man standing a distance from him.To call the devil Handsome will be an understatement of the century.The devil was more than handsome, with his chiselled jaw, and too-bright green eyes that seemed as if it was trying to suck everyone in.His black hair glistened in the dark, and it seemed to accentuate his features.However, that wasn't what caught Kon's attention.It was the scar on the side of his face. The scar
“Get out of my way,” Kon said in a calm tone as he narrowed his eyes at the men.“What a feisty boy.” The leader smirked as he gave Kon a once-over.“You don't know how feisty I am.” Kon smiled, “now, will you please let me pass?”“How dare you!” The leader tried to punch him, but Kon dodged.He bent down a bit and kicked the man in the stomach.“How dare you?” The man growled in anger as he righted his stance.“Wow, who would have thought he's this strong?” The devil mussed as he watched the boy who sparked his interest.He knew the boy was bold, but never would he have thought the boy was this strong.It didn't take Kon a minute to get the men writhing on the ground.“Before you attack in the future, know your opponents.” Kon scoffed at the men before he turned and started towards his house.“What should we do now, boss?” Scorpion, who was at a loss of what to do, turned to his boss.“Follow him.”The devil commanded as he watched Kon disappear down the streets.It infuriated him th
“Mom?” He blinked as his eyes took in the figure of his mother.All his life, he has never seen his mother dressed like a decent human.“Boy, are you surprised?” His mother chuckled.His mother is dressed in a blue gown, and her long hair was tied up in a bun. She has light makeup on, and her shoes seemed to match her clothes.Unlike how she was before, she looked presentable.“How? What—”Kon was speechless.Not only was his mother dressed more formally than ever, their house now looked more like a home.Everything was neat and kept in place.“You see, boy.” She sat on the cushion opposite him, “when I gave birth to you, I never knew how important you will be.”She chuckled, confusing Kon who was still trying to make sense of everything.“What are you talking about?”“How ever did you meet the mafia devil?”“The mafia devil?” Kon took a step back at the sound of the name he detests the most.“Boy, must I say, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of whom you—”“What are you talking about?”“Ou
“What do you mean!” Kon pushed the devil. “Don't you dare come close to me, you psychopath!”“Psychopath?” The devil smirked, “I love the sound of this.”“Let me tell you, Devil, or whatever your name might be. Stay out of my damned business!” Kon balled his hands into fists.“I think it's too late for that, my dear. I've paid off your debts. Don't you think you owe me?” Smirking, the devil walked towards Kon once more. “Even if you don't want me in your business, it's too late.”“I will pay you back. Just name your price, and I will do that!” Kon sounded more confident than he felt.“Are you sure about that?” The devil darkly chuckled. “I will hate to break it down to you, love, but I don't think you can do that.”“What do you mean? Name your—”“A Hundred million.”“What?” Kon stood shell-shocked, with his mouth agape.“That's when you remove the debt for the house. Total or everything is close to a billion.So, tell me, Kon. How will you be able to pay the debt?” The devil looked am
“What's he doing here?” Kon frowned.“That's my exact question. What's he doing here?” Lin folded his arms.All around them, the students were screaming, admiring the devil who wasn't after them.He only came here to take his feisty boy home.“Sir, he's here.” Scorpion, who was the first to notice Kon whispered to the devil.“Where is he?” The devil asked. He glanced around the place until his eyes landed on Kon.Without a word, the devil started for where Kon was.“He's coming this way!” The girls squealed, alerting Kon of the Devil's presence.“Let's leave.” Kon took Lin's hand and started dragging him towards the School's gate.The devil's eyes darkened at the sight of his boy touching another.He flicked his fingers, and three of his men blocked Kon's path.“Leave!” Kon growled at them.Unlike Lin, who was shaking in his bones at the sight of the mafia men, Kon was fearless.“Aren't you feisty, my boy?” The devil asked, prompting Kon to turn to face him.“Tell your boys or whateve
Kon slowly opened his eyes.He blinked a bit, to get his eyes into focus.His eyes took in the unusually dark room, with a light coming from the only window by the side.He tried to rise, but noticed he was tied to a bed.His legs were tied to the foot of the bed, while his hands were tied to the headboard.“Where am I?” He loudly wondered as he glanced around the room.The last thing he was able to remember was the—“God!” Kon tugged on the chains holding him. “Who is out there?” He screamed at the top of his lungs as he tugged on the chains.Kon struggled to get the chains off him, but it was an impossible feat. The more he tugged on the chains, the more wounds he incurred on his wrists.“Let me out!” He screamed once more.The door to the room opened, and the devil stepped in.He was dressed in a plain shirt, with blue cuffs. His black trousers were folded from the ankle, and his shirts were folded straight to his arms.His knuckles were a bit bloody, and his face was tight.At the
