A man dressed in a red suit was seen walking through a dark corridor. The only light was the one that was up ahead, but it only illuminated the corridors.
Aside from that, there was no light.The man in the red suit majestically walked on. It was as if he knew where he was going. And not only that, but it seemed he knew it like the back of his palm.His dark hair was slicked to the side with an expensive gel. And the sweet scent of it was a sharp contrast to the Stony man who applied it.His face was pulled in a frown.And he seemed pissed off for a certain reason. At the sight of the corridor ahead, he hastened his steps.The door at the end of the corridor, the door opened at the same time he made to touch the handle.He stood back as the door was opened.“You are here?” The man at the other end spoke up. It was as if he were on the verge of running away from there.The fear in his eyes, and the way he constantly glanced back, alerted the man in the red suit.“Is the boss in there?” He asked his subordinate, who bowed as he nodded to him.“He's waiting for you.”The Gile can't be too grateful for the presence of his master.“Has the problem been resolved?”“I don't know about that, sir. It must be the reason the boss asked of you.” He bowed once more before he glanced into the room he was backing.The sweat on his face can't be mistaken at all.His fears were evident in his expressions and the way he was quivering. He was like a lamb that had a run-in with a Lion and lived to tell the tale of it.“You can leave.”“Sir?”“I will take care of the boss.”“Thank you, sir!” Without waiting for his boss to say anything more, Gile hastily left the room.Scorpion took a deep, steady breath before he entered the room, and gently closed the door behind him.Just like the corridor, he walked through, the room was shrouded in darkness, save for the red candles that cast glows around the room.The two windows are opened, and that lets in the night air.Scorpion took more steps into the room as his eyes roamed around the room.'The playroom'As it was tagged by the gang, is a place where all the activities take place.And by activities, it's another name for 'torture'On the wall are racks of torture tools, ranging from chains to whips. There is no type of torture device that you won't see in the room.On the right side of the room is the activity area. It's the place where the torture takes place.The paddles, electric chair and the bed of torture. A bed that was draped in the colour of blood.At the centre of the room, with his back to the door, is the devil himself.Dressed in an almost identical suit to that of the scorpion, the devil seemed like a person who was ready for a party.But that thought will undoubtedly be thrown out of the window when the Devil's expression becomes illuminated.The devil's green eyes were dark in anger, and he had his hands clenched into fists.He was barely restraining himself from showing his anger.“Sir, you called for me?”The scorpion as he was known as is a fearless man. However, he seemed as docile as a dove in the presence of the Devil.The devil isn't a person to be trifled with. He's exactly like the name he earned. The man wasn't a person to be joked with. He's the devil himself.“Sir?” Scorpion called out when he got no reply from the devil.“How's the situation?”The Devil asked in a voice that was too calm, it caused the scorpion to shiver a bit.“Things have abated a bit.” Scorpion had to bite the inside of his mouth. Nothing has abated a bit. He was only trying to make sure he doesn't stir the anger of the devil, against him.“Better.” The devil finally turned to face his second in command. “What's this sound I'm hearing?”“Which sound, My Lord?” The scorpion frowned a bit.“The sound of protests!” He removed the gun from the waistband of his trousers and pointed it at the scorpion. “Do you think I'm a damn child?”The scorpion fell to the floor in fear.“I'm sorry, My Lord!” He closed his eyes as he pleaded for mercy, from his deranged boss.The devil smirked as he watched his second in command. He loved the scent of fear. It makes him want to bask in it.“You thought you can lie to me?” The Devil smirked. “You should have thought more about it before lying.” The devil cocked the gun.And unexpectedly, he shot the scorpion in his right leg.Scorpion tightly clenched his teeth as he tried not to show his pain.“A simple task was given to you, Scorpion. And you can't do that?” The devil shot him in the same leg.The scorpion grimaced, but he didn't make any sound. He only held his injured leg while he tried to kneel with the other one.“I apologize for my misstep. I shouldn't have done that.”“Oh, you know that?” The devil scoffed.“I'm sorry, My Lord.” The scorpion bowed, despite his pain.“You are sorry? Is that what you are going to fucking say all day long!? He shot the leg once more. And this time, it was on the same spot he shot the first one on.Scorpion pinched his leg as he tried to override the pain.He clenched his hands into fists. “I'm —”“Get your bloody self out of here!” The Devil wanted to shoot him once more.But luckily for Scorpion, there were only three bullets in the gown.“We leave in three hours. Get your shit sorted out before then.”The devil turned his back to Scorpion, obviously dismissing him.“Thank you, My Lord.” Scorpion slowly rose from the floor and bowed to the Devil before he leapt out of the room.The devil strode out to where the car was packed. His men flanked both sides of the car, bowing deeply as they did so.In the queue are 10 motorcycles and five cars. The middle car is for the devil, while the other four are for his minions. The five motorcycles lined in front of the cars are for his trained bodyguards, while the other five at the back of the cars are for the newly trained.They are known as scapegoats.“Is everything ready?” The devil asked Scorpion, who was limping behind him.The poor man was in great pain, but you wouldn't know because of his well he hid his pain.As a trained soldier, he knows what Pain is, and he has endured more than enough in his life.Three bullet shots are nothing compared to half of the things the devil has caused him to pass through.“Yes, My Lord. The venue is set.” Scorpion turned to one of the men closest to him, “we are about to leave. Alert the others.”“Yes, sir!”The guard placed a hand on the Secret Service earpiece on his ears. “We
“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 allo
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
