In the middle of the night, the rain was pouring ruthlessly without care.

Lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating everything momentarily before being followed by a clap of roaring thunder.

Yet, even with such harsh weather outside, businesses can't wait.

The engine of a car roared loudly in the empty streets as it pierced through the falling rain, running at a very high speed.

It stopped under a tall skyscraper and a middle-aged man wearing a very fancy suit jumped out of the car, entering through the main entrance.

Walking with large steps, he took the elevator to the top floor.

*Ding!*

It took a few minutes for the elevator to arrive at the top floor and the middle-aged man made his way towards the room at the end of the hallway.

He quickly walked over and knocked on the door.

"Come in," A cold voice echoed from inside.

The middle-aged man opened the door and stepped inside, bowing towards the man sitting on the main chair.

"The job is done, Boss. I've disposed of the Congressmen Jim Heydon."

The man sitting on the chair was very young, maybe in his late twenties. He was wearing a nice fashionable suit. His smooth fiery red hair was neatly combed as he gazed at the middle-aged man with his deep and emotionless ocean-blue eyes. His mannerisms alone told a lot about him aside from his charisma and the aura of a leader.

Two rows of men in black wielding heavy firearms were standing around the room, their aura very fierce with a deathly calm.

The young man took out a cigar from the box sitting in front of him, taking a sniff of it. He carefully cut it and lit it up before taking a sip.

"Hoo..." He released a cloud of smoke and nodded his head. "Good job, Kevin."

The middle-aged man took a sigh of relief, his expression turned bright but it lasted only for a moment before the cold words of the young man echoed like a hammer shattering the glass.

"But it seems you consider yourself above me, Kevin since you totally ignored my order." His piercing gaze chilled the heart of Kevin as he shivered like a mouse. "You are great at your job, very great, but I only need dogs who follow my orders to the very last words and do not cross the line."

Kevin was confused by his boss's words. He did his job perfectly. There was nothing the other party could comment on, yet here his boss was complaining.

"Boss, I don't understand what's going on," Kevin said, confused and quite frankly scared.
The young man gazed at him and asked. "What was my order?"

"Dispose of everything related to Congressman Jim Heydon," Kevin answered concisely.

"That's right, but... what about his family?" Then, with a cold and emotionless tone, Boss asked.

Then it hit Kevin. Congressman Jim Heydon was a very honest and upright politician who always worked against the gangsters which earned him quite a reputation in both public and his colleagues.

But Congressman Jim Heydon made just one single mistake and that was he dared to interfere in one of the boss's business, attracting the attention of the grim reaper.

Because of this, the Boss ordered Kevin to dispose of everything Congressman Jim Heydon had and erase the latter from the earth, and so Kevin did, but there was just one problem.
Congressman Jim Heydon had a family, a young twelve-year-old son, and a loving wife.
