Vagabond club's energy stayed electric even when the sun arose high and hot. The moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted by a wave of sound—thumping bass that resonated through the body, mixed with pulsating beats from the DJ booth. The lights were dimmed, but colorful strobe lights flash across the room, creating a mesmerizing dance of shadows and colors.

The dance floor packed with people moving to the rhythm, their bodies swaying and bouncing in time with the music. Some are lost in the moment, while others are laughing and chatting with friends at the edges of the floor. The air was filled with a mix of excitement and the scent of cologne, perfume, and a hint of sweat from all the dancing.

In a private room of this club, this man sat with his mask on. His dark eyes pierced through the eye holes present in the mask. Sitting in a black robe, his one leg rested on another.

The door opened gaining this man's attention. He looks up at the door from where fabulo, the mafia from Italy entered inside. His tall height was in an elegant suit even though his eyes were black purplish, his one hand was gauzed and so was his head. Looked like he was badly beaten by someone, but who could dare to beat a mafia like him?

This man in the robe crunched his brows at him in confusion.

As fabulo came and sat Infront of this man, he let out a long breath, exaggerating and tired. The man's eyes trailed from his bruised face towards his hand, then back at his face.

"Who did this to you?" His question made the one look up. His eyes drenched in pure hate and fire of vengeance. His jaw clenched.

"Jungkook" the man Infront let out a chuckle. His dark chuckle echoed through the room as fabulo stared at him.

"What? You're laughing at this keiro?" He shook his head at fabulo. His face owning that taunt smile under the mask. "He almost broke my arm and made me blind and here you're laughing?"

"No fabulo" the dark voice echoed again. "I'm laughing at how you dared to do something against him, now, what did you do?" Fabulo's lips were into an irregular line when he looked away. Keiro tilted his head. "There would be a good reason why he did that to you"

"According to him I checked out his wife" kiero Infront widened his eyes. The sudden news made him go nuts.

"What again?" He leaned forward with a jerk.

"He said he's doing all this to me because I checked his wife out" keiro stared at the man Infront. "And Lee, remove that mask, not like I don't know your face" Mr Lee, who was in shock slowly trailed his hand towards the mask as he took it off slowly. His eyes stuck to the mafia man Infront. Fabulo let out a sigh.

"The work is too risky, apologies but I resign from this mission" he held his uninjured hand up in surrender, utter defeat and fear visible in his eyes when he glared up at the man. Mr Lee banged his fist on the table.

"Don't you dare back away from this now! You said you wanted to kill him and I offered you that win, we will win this togather. There is no damn backing off from this thing now"

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Mr Lee looked at him. His eyes full of anger and warning. "You sold your own daughter for money, power and destruction of a child who's life you destroyed the day you made out with his mother" silence covered the air of the room with heaviness. The air turned thick and tension high. Mr lee's eyes turned red as he continued to stare at the mafia Infront.
