The Mafia's Baby

First Mission

3 years later

Ajax paced to the Zaporlyany and met Signora who was waiting for him with elegance attitude.

"You look excited."

"Since this is the first mission, I can't wait for it longer anymore," Ajax replied. Signora shrugged and opened the door.

"My Queen," she greeted. Tsaritsa sat behind the screen and smiled.

"Ah, La Signora and Tartaglia."

They bowed and looked at her. She turned her attention toward the young man.

"Tartaglia, how's your study?"

"It went smoothly, Your Highness," he replied. She nodded satisfied.

"I want you to continue your study, in other country. Also to do your mission."

"I'm all ears, Your Highness."

"Signora, give him the data," she ordered. Signora gave him the data to Ajax. He read it carefully and tilted head.

"Kill a mafia leader?"

"His codename is Morax or Rex Lapis. The latest leader of Exuvia from Liyue. He's a dangerous man who rules the dark side of Liyue."

"Is it just error or there is no pictures of him?" he asked. Signora took out her phone and showed his photo. His heartbeat stopped a little.

"Eh? A young man?" he asked. Signora looked away.

"Not as young as you, Tartaglia. Can you do it?" Tsaritsa asked. He smiled cheerfully.

"It's an easy task, my Queen. I'll finish him as fast as I could and come back," he replied. Tsaritsa chuckled.

"Oh, then good luck, Tartaglia. And finish your study too at Liyue."

"I need to finish it too?" he shocked.

"Of course, I won't let you ditching around just to finish the mission," she said. He groaned.

"Your answer, Tartaglia?" Signora threatened.

"Yes, Your Highness. Then I should prepare to leave," he said and bowed.

"Your flight is tonight at 7," Signora mentioned. He waved his hand and walked away.

"I wonder what will happen with him," she murmured.

Ajax landed safely in Liyue Airport with his only backpack. He pulled his scarf and put it in his bag.

"Man, it's warm here. I guess I'll love this place," he murmured. When he walked out, a lady with a mask came and bowed.

"Master Tartaglia, welcome to Liyue."

"Do I know you?" he asked.

"My name is Ekaterina, a manager of Northland Club and also the part of Fatui," she said. Ajax nodded.

"Ah, right. Thanks for picking me up. So where are we going?"

"To the club, then your apartment. We managed to find the one near the target," she replied.

"...quite dangerous but alright, show me the place," he ordered. They left the airport and drove to the city. The lights of the town gleaming like jewels, outshined the stars on the sky.

"This place is amazing," Ajax praised.

"Liyue is the strategist country for business, you can find a lot of foreigners here since you can find anything with best price."

"No wonder this country is crowded with businessmen," Ajax commented. They arrived at the club which a long line await outside.

"Woah, cool."

"I'll show you inside," she said while getting down from the car. Ajax joined her and fixed his clothes.

"I should've wear something fancy," he said.

"Nah, you'll attract unnecessary things. Come on," she said. She walked pass the guards, along with Ajax who smirked at them. A wave of people dancing wildly following the music, the lighting set their moods to the highest. She led him to her office and let him sat on the bean bag.

"Comfy," he jumped a little.

"Sir, you have experience as a bartender?" she asked.

"Yeah, I worked as a part time at Snezhnaya for a while for my pocket money. You want me to be a bartender here?"

"Since it's the best job to be close with Morax. He usually hold a small party in VIP room with random bartender to serve him," Ekaterina explained. Ajax nodded and clapped hands.

"It's decided then. When will I start working?"

"Probably tomorrow. You should focus on study too, Sir. Tsaritsa's order."

"Ah, dang. Why are you remind me that silly stuff?" he groaned.

"Because if you fail to graduate from the university, she will cut your allowance and drag you back to Snezhnaya," she replied. Ajax shivered a little and sighed. "You want to drink something?"

"Nah, I prefer to go to my apartment now. Can we?"

"Sure, it's closer than you thought," she smiled. They walked out of the club around 200 meters and stopped at the apartment. She gave him a key and passcode.

"Here is your key and passcode. Please be careful with it," she said. "5th floor, number 505."

"Thanks and good night, Ekaterina," he bid goodbye. He rushed into the lift, along with a man with long black hair and a hint of yellow on the end of his hair, a pair of sharp amber eyes with diamond pupils, red eyeliner to frame his eyes and plump juicy pinkish lips. Ajax noticed his dragon tattoo on his arm, even only the tail. He shocked a little yet managed to hide it.

'Damn, my target is here?! We're in the same roof literally man!' he thought. He suddenly sniffed a scent of coffee mix with pine tree. His body suddenly trembled hard.

"Agh?!" he screamed a little. His legs suddenly went weak, but the man caught him by holding his waist.

"You okay?" he asked with husky deep voice. Ajax shook his head.

"I...I need to...go now," he stuttered. He didn't know the man next to him has the strong alpha scent. He smiled.

"Relax, I won't hurt you. Sorry, I should've control my pheromones before walking in," he apologized. Ajax gripped his arm to control his shaking body, but the pheromones he emitted enough to make him horny.

'Shit! Shit! Shit! He's not an ordinary alpha!' he cussed inside his heart. After they reached his floor, he hurriedly ran to his place without thanking the man who helped him. He only chuckled and smirked.

"What a cute little fox. I should savor him later."
