“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
Kon stayed locked in the room for the entire day.The devil left after he dropped the bombshell, and since then, Kon hasn't seen him.“Are you awake?”The door to the room opened, and the devil stepped in.He was dressed in a plain shirt, and blue slacks, as if he intended to go out.“Why shouldn't I be?” Kon narrowed his eyes at him.“It's time for dinner, Kon.”“I would rather not eat,” Kon sneered.“Why?” The devil walked over to Kon, with a bunch of keys dangling in his hand.“I'm not hungry.”“Don't say that. You've not eaten a thing since you were brought here.”The devil unlocked Kon from the chains holding him to the bed.He started from the ones binding his legs until he got to the ones holding his hands.Kon watched him as he did so, without saying a word.“Now, it's time for—”Kon kicked the devil on his stomach and rose from the bed. He didn't glance at the doubled-over devil before he headed to the door.“Not too fast,” the devil caught him by his shirt and threw him on t
“Are you sure about this?” Lin asked for the tenth time since Kon told him of his plans.“Yes, I am. There is no choice for me apart from that, Lin. He has been silent for two weeks, Lin. And I think he has Something planned.”“But what if he has let you off the hook for real, Kon? It's possible.”“With the devil? It's not. I don't think he's one to let a person off the hook just like that.” Kon rose from the chair he was sitting on, “I've made up my mind, Lin. I don't think I can keep running from him.He owns this place, Lin. I can't escape, even if that's what I want.”“So, you have decided? Can't I change your mind?”“I'm sorry, but you can't.” Kon took his bag from the bench, “this is the only way to protect you and those at the bar.” He turned to go.“Kon, wait!” Lin held his arm. “Please don't go, Kon. I can't—”“It's the only way, Lin.” Kon removed Lin's hand from his, “don't worry, I will be safe. I've always been.”“I know you have, Kon.” Lin touched his face, “you have alwa
