*Sun's pov*
" Arrrrrhhhhh. Please stop. I beg you."
"You already made me come down here so you have to face the consequences. If you'd just told them what they wanted to know I wouldn't be here now."
"Som hand me the pliers. Let's start with his other fingers." I looked at the rat as he cowered in fear and smirked slightly.
He handed me the pliers and I got ready to start removing his fingers.
"Tell me the truth now and I'll give you a painless death."
"It was people from the dragon mafia. He says quickly."
"Som go check if my mother is back.
Sure thing sir."
"Now, let's try this again. And put it in mind that I don't have much patience."
"I already told you the truth Mr. Sun"
I grabbed his jaw softly and kept exerting force seeing him break out in cold sweat. "Do you think I'm that easy to fool"?
"I'm sorry Mr. Sun he says crying"
"Oh now don't cry"
"I didn't have a choice, they made me do it. I swear I didn't want to do this"
"Oh look. It's the worlds smallest violin." I said with a cold smile.
"Go tell your pity story to someone else. Now tell me the truth and save us both time."
"You know I prefer cold weapons. I hear my methods are something of a legend in our world and they are many things I can still do with you..."
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you the whole truth. But you have to.."
"Shushh." I pushed a blade to his neck causing it to draw blood. "You're in no position to bargain with me. But I'll give you an easy death at least. I think that's very generous of me no?"
"Yes very generous Mr. Sun. I don't know all the details but this is what I know".......""
"See that wasn't so hard now was it?
Well then thanks for your help.
Say your last prayers."
*Pop* his head dropped and I walked out of the cell.
They went in and started to clean up the place.
"Go tell my mother I'll be with her soon."
"Yes Mr. Sun"
This is all so draining. "Por I miss you."
Twenty years ago my father was killed by his best friend who is the leader of the dragon mafia. That's why we stopped cooperating with them?
What a load of bullshit. Greed really has a way of bringing the worst out of people and I will make them all pay for killing my father.
I was just five years old but they didn't consider that at all. I'm guessing if they could, I'd also be dead. A bunch of snakes in human skin.
I walked out of the bath and got dressed.
"Meh, P'Chayan..."
"I heard you went to deal with an issue in the cells today"?
"Yes. Just a little spy who was sent to monitor our actions phi"
"You should have waited for me to handle it Sun"
"It wasn't important."
"In our line of work there is nothing that isn't important. You have to make sure I'm present whenever something like this happens again. Do you understand me Sun"?
My eyes narrowed slightly, I walked up to him holding his gaze. I stood toe to toe with him and tilted my head slightly.
"From what I understand Phi, in terms of rank I am still your boss. You were my father's right hand man. Not mine. So I would appreciate if you'd mind your tone when talking to me."
He stared at me for a few seconds before bowing his head slightly.
"I'm sorry master Sun. I was too hasty just now and didn't think about my words carefully. I will restrain myself in future"
"That's okay you two. You always end up having one argument or the other all the time. Knowing how you do things you've already gotten all the information from him"?
"Yes meh"
"Then who sent him"?
I watched as his breath hitched ever so slightly. I would have missed it if I wasn't paying so much attention.
"According to the person he was sent by.... The dragon mafia"
Relief crossed his features ever so slightly and I smirked
Turns out our dearest Mr. Sun isn't as good as he's made to look.
"Since that's the case Sun, then we have to do something about it quickly.
Let's not make them think we're pushovers."
"They did something to us twenty years ago but we did not retaliate and that must be why they think we're a bunch of weaklings who they can you with all they want."
"I suggest we declare war with their mafia."
"Last time I checked Phi, no one asked for your opinion."
"Sun...."
I turned and my mom looked at me warningly.
"Phi, we both know that at this point the dragon mafia is way ahead of us."
"We may have been on par with them at some point but now we only have our name working for us and you want to declare war on them"?
"Those little bastards will use it as an excuse to join forces and take us down.
Now they are just laying low because even though we cut ties with them our relationship with them is still uncertain."
"And yet you suggest we attack? Do you want us to all be killed"?
"No of course not. I don't mean it that way. I grew up here and Mr. Aat was like a father to me."
"Sun. That's enough. You can't slander him like that . You know he cares for everyone here alot . He would never do anything to put us in danger."
"I know that mom. I'm just saying it theoretically based on the suggestions he gave."
"He may love us but his suggestions all seem to be ones that will drag us into hell."
"Sun... I have had enough of you talking to Chayan like that ."
"If he wasn't here when your Por died what would we have done"?
"We probably wouldn't have declined like this."
"Wasn't it under his leadership that we became a shell if our previous self"?
*Sigh* "I have somewhere else to be meh"
"We'll talk about this later Sun"
"No we won't meh"
I locked the door on my way out and scoffed imagining the expression on his face right now.
This boy is getting more and more unruly. I'll have to do something about him soon. Thankfully it's still the same issue and he doesn't suspect a thing.
*Achara's pov*
"Chayan... I'm sorry about Sun"
"You know he was very attached to his Por and he always thought you were trying to take his place in our lives and that's why he's always antagonized you."
"Please forgive him. He became a different person since Aat passed and I also struggle to understand him myself."
"It's alright ma'am. I understand him. I know what it's like to loose family."
I nodded slightly and asked him to excuse himself.
I leaned back on my husbands chair and couldn't help but think about the past
