"Funny how you thought you could come here without me knowing." Ying Lee said, circling a tied-down Xerxes. "Do you think this is a fucking game? All you had to do was give me China, but you and your little friends wanted to play." He finished making Xerxes chuckle which caused the man to punch him in the face.
"Did that suppose to hurt? You hit like a girl. I know you can do better than that, Lee." He laughed while Lee stood back staring ".... aww don't tell me you're scared of little old me that's tied up and defenseless." Something that didn't sit well with Lee as he kicked him in the face. All it did was force another laugh out of X, making Ying Lee look at him as if he had lost his mind.
"Why must you Germans be so fucking irrational?"
"You're calling me irrational. The one that started a fucking war for a damn territory I would have given to you!" Xerxes spoke as Ying Lee hit him again. "Beat me all you want to bitch. You're doing nothing but hurting my pride. Your hits are weak, just like the bitch that is delivering them."
"You have a lot of mouth for someone about to die...."
"That's funny. You should think that, but you see. I didn't come here alone and surely didn't get caught to die. Tell me, Ying Lee, why do you think it was so easy for you to capture me? All alone with no guards in the one city in China that I knew you would be." He chuckled as he stepped forward, holding his blade to Xerxes's neck.
"You wanted this war, didn't you?"
"I never want war, Lee. You were the one that started this war when you attacked us on my fucking territory. Then you had the nerve to kill my fucking sister and friend. What, you thought I wouldn't fight back? What is that saying... an eye for an eye. You killed someone in my family, so I killed someone from yours. Sorry about your son, though, but your wife was a whore."
"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" He yelled, hitting Xerxes again. "All you had to do was give me China. I reached out to you multiple times and got nothing. We could have been allies, but you wanted to be fucking dumb and keep a country under your control that you have no ties to."
"There, you are wrong. I have many ties to China, but you're not fucking listening. I would have given you the damn country if you had reached out to me! Whoever you hired or got your information from lied to you and caused this fucking war. It cost you your wife, child, and over a hundred men or more. Who's counting? But no one ever came to me, you stupid bastard, but you fucked up. You attacked me when four of them biggest mafias were in the same room as I. Fuck being allies when you have a union of which I am the head. They're coming for you, Ying Lee. As I said, I allowed myself to be captured. Now I want you to sit and think about how you caught me and what's to come.
Earlier That Day
"X, mi isn't sure about yuh plan. Why not tell your brudda beside me? He's going to think I had sumthing to do with this shit. And your son...."
