VegasxPete - My Salvation

What doesn't kill you, makes you...

Vegas's POV

Ughhhh!!!I've been feeling this since I woke up earlier. Damn! This headache is killing me! Massasing my temples eased the pain a little. I'm getting tired again.

"Khun lie down... I'll do the massaging" Pete offered to me. He's been nursing and guarding me at the same time since last night. This guy must be used to taking care of patients. Must be why he is the head bodyguard of that crazy cousin of mine.

I was reluctant at first but I let him do it anyway. I was relieved. It felt good while he was massaging my temples, I felt like I could fall asleep at anytime. We got ourselves an expert here.

"Sit here.." I said to Pete. He sat beside me and continued massaging.

Eventually I think I dozed off.

Meanwhile...

Khun Kan's POV

[Slap]

Arghhhh!! That hurt! This bastard if I wasn't tied up here you'd be dead by now. Looks like what Vegas told me was on point. I should have tighten up the security right away. Sh*t.

I stared at the masked man who slapped me.

"So Khun Kan..why are you alone in this big mansion?" He asked me. Is it just me or is he trying to mock me?

"Ohh..those sons of mine are a bit busy you see..the eldest was borrowed by my brother for the meantime and the other is busy for school." I replied sarcastically.

These people cannot reach my sons..they are under my brother's protection..

For now I need to know the motives of these sons of b*tches..

[Flashback]

"Father!! What did you do to Macau?!!" Vegas shouted at me. This ungrateful brat dared to shout while talking to me!

"Ohh ..so you're still alive" I said to him with a straight face looking indifferent to him so as to not show my emotions.

"We had an agreement! You cannot punish Macau!" He said.. he might be feeling betrayed by me as he thought that I hurt Macau.. I'm a man of my word and I would never go against it. But I cannot say anything to him about that night as Macau pleaded me not to.

This facade were showing is both tearing us apart as a family but at the same time it makes us stronger individually. As what our father used to say..."The more you get hurt, the more you become strong and fearless"..and that "a family should be a stronghold...it cannot have weak links like love... because love makes people weak!" Is what he said to us ever since I can remember.

"He's the one who asked for it..he said he wanted to be responsible for his every action." I said to him sternly.

Vegas asked Macau to go upstairs to his room. Meanwhile we had a really heated argument. So much that Vegas got really mad and threw everything he sees near him. Finally I turned my ring upsidedown so that when I slap him the surface of the ring would hit him. A sharp mark was left on Vegas's face. But this brat didn't even show a hint that he felt the pain, instead he just smirked. Am I getting rusty at punishing him?

"Like that could hurt me father..use your head please.." he said while walking away and stopped halfway."Oh and if you hurt him again... let's see... you'll get to see me fight back father" Vegas said then continued to go upstairs to his room.

I did not respond. I was amused by his remarks this brat is getting more and more cheeky or shall I say brave? But not as brave as Macau..this whole demon like thing about him is only a mask...I know it... I've been there...I still am right now...but more importantly he paused for a while and looked past me earlier. Is there someone behind me? I looked behind me but there is no one. I pondered at his actions. Then suddenly...

PING!

I was a bit startled as my phone's notification went off..a text appeard."Father.. someone is standing far behind your back.. I don't know if I'm just seeing things.." Vegas texted me.

So he saw someone.

Later on Chu notified me that he received an encrypted message. It was still from Vegas. We had to send it to our IT specialist for decryption. What's this brat on about?

The message stated:

Father... it's me Vegas... I sent this message through encryption so that it won't be leaked to anyone. I already informed Uncle about this, as this was about my mission. As what you know by now the target was Mr. Pang and Mr. Fran both are ex-business partners of the family..but what was troubling was that both of them are currently affiliated with a large mafia from Italy which is the Costello family.
Coincidentally our family is currently enemies with them, which is why I also told Uncle to be very extra careful as those files that are in his possession holds some of the important transactions of that family. I cannot disclose it here. You can ask Uncle if want more information about it. But for now we have to be careful too. During my captivity I heard their conversations when they thought I was unconscious. They plan on terminating the family by taking us down first.. the minor family as we are responsible for most of the big illegal transactions and businesses...then one by one our current active business partners and lastly the main family. I'll drive Macau to school tomorrow.

His message ended there and then destructed itself.

This will be a big headache for me if I don't handle it sooner. For now I'll just call big brother.

"Hello?.." he said.

"Brother can I talk to you about something tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Sure I'll be at my office..is that all? I'm still busy right now.." he responded.

"And if anything happens to me please protect the kids for me..and oh there's just one more thing brother..please ask Vegas to have a check-up tomorrow.." I said to him. That brat is hiding his injuries again.

"Why is there something wrong with him? He was fine earlier when he reported here at my office" he said with a worried tone.

Even though my brother shows himself as a cunning manipulative person. But he really loves his family just like me. This mask wearing wouldn't have happened if we weren't betrayed by that person.

Anyways enough about that sh*t.

"I know he's still hurt but he doesn't show it..brother... I know him very well..just please tell him to go there tomorrow" I pleaded him.

"[Sighs] you're so stubborn..why is it always me? can't you just show them a little concern?...okay.. I'll call him tomorrow morning.. I'll hang up now" he said.

Toot ..the call ended

[End of Flashback]

"Actually what we need is the flashdrive... I'm sure you've heard about it?" I looked at him with a confused face.What is he on about? Flashdrive?

"Don't act like you don't know about it...that bastard son of yours probably gave it to you..now hand it over" he said to me. Is this related to Vegas' mission? Well sorry not sorry bastard I'm not informed about a damn flashdrive!.but instead I'll just drive you insane.

"[Smirks] Ohh that one..well I hid it somewhere you and everyone else cannon locate.. brilliant right? Hahahaha" I laughed at him. You dumbass will never know where it is..even if I die here...
