Chapter 6: Care to Nothingness

Winter Blackburn

I clenched my now bandaged hand and sighed. I didn't know what came to me when I agreed with that stupid deal with the Dev Mafia. But when I saw the look in his eyes and the bloodlust he gave as he tried to kill Autumn, I felt fear. Not for me, but the fear of losing the ones who have been with me for this long. I brought them here, so they shouldn't die because of me.

He placed his glass down but his gaze hold something cold, something different.

"The reason why I want you in this, aside from being my student, you are damn well intelligent. And your mafia along with your unity to the other three, are dangerously well-known throughout the continent. Well-known as the best assassins."

I groaned as I rolled my eyes. Is he already stating the obvious? The Elite Four wouldn't be leaders of their own mafias if we aren't good assassins.

"Just cut to the chase, Raymond."

This time, he called over his assistant and she placed three folders on the glass table. Opening it, the first thing I saw were two bolded words.

"Retsnom Mafia"

I frowned but I already knew what this means.

"No." I immediately said.

"Come again?"

I gazed up and looked at him straight in the eye.

"No." In a firm voice, I didn't look away.

Raymond didn't seem bothered but curiosity shone through his eyes.

"May I ask why?"

I breathed in.

"Nobody knows my real identity in the association aside from you and my associates. Nobody. But... The siblings who handle this mafia is none other than... My childhood friends. The people who knew the pasts behind me! You know how much it will risk me." I say

Those were the longest sentences I've said in this life. Raymond looked at me in amusement and even the assistant stared at me. I turned my cold gaze against her and she froze, enough for her to stay put and avert her gaze.

"I know it's going to put your place in the mafia in danger, but you need to consider this."

I sighed at his words.

"What do you plan to do? With these guys and us together, nothing may be able to stand against us." I asked but I only received an smug smile from the old man.

"Let's say it involves your father's company." He hums and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"All the more reason I'll disagree." I pushed myself off the cushions and head for the door.

"Even if it's going to destroy him?" And with that... I froze in my step...

I wanted to get out of here and let him leave me alone but... The anger... The pain that I felt after he kicked me out of the family, was overpowering my desires and I know this... But knowing my stubborn and cold heart... No one can stop me from taking my revenge.

"When's the date?" I asked and I can already feel his evil smile.

"Starting next week."
