The Mafia Prince: The Reset

The King and Queen

CLARENCE

Scared is an understatement. Fvck. We failed bigtime. We let it happen under our nose at paanong walang nakapansin kahit isa sa amin? We fvcked up at hindi ko kayang harapin si boss ngayon lalo na't si Kristina ang napakawalan naming lahat.

Paniguradong naghihintay na sa headquarters ang mga kabaong namin. We were so focused in catching Alex pero hindi namin nakita na maaaring napaghandaan na rin niya kami. Hindi ako masyadong nakapagfocus dahil kay LA. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyayari sa kanya but I know for a fact na it's bothering him, bigtime. It's really fvcked up.

"Sa tingin mo pare? Nakahanda na kaya ang mga kabaong natin pagkarating natin dun?" tanong ko kay Max na nagmamaneho.

"Pwede. Pero sisiguraduhin kong mauunanag mamamatay ang bumaril kay Winter" napatingin ako kay Max dahil sa tono ng pananalita niya. Even Max seems a little bit off after Winter was shot.

"Easy pare. Iisa lang naman ang kalaban nating lahat"

"Maybe. We're here" napatingin ako sa unahan nang sabihin niya yun at mas lalaong tumayo ang mga balahibo ko nang makita ko ang mga magagarang sasakyan na nakaparada sa labas at ang mga nakakatakot na taong naghihintay sa amin.

"Shit. This thing's about to get real. The Black king and queen are here" halos mawalan na ako ng hininga nang iparada ni Max ang sasakyan at pinanood nila kaming lumabas. It's not my first time seeing them but this is the first in a long time. Matagal ko na silang hindi nakita and their absence stirred a lot of fvcked up situation and it definitely fvcked Nathan up. I was about to speak nang may pumaradang kotse sa tabi namin at lumabas dun sina Adrian at Aidan bitbit si Bianca who seems calm depsite facing the demons of the mafia. Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng noo ni Autumn which means hindi niya alam na kasali dito ang isa sa mga head ng Wisdom.

"Bianca?" mahina ngunit dinig naming lahat nang tawagin ni autumn si Bianca pero hindi siya pinansin ni Bianca. "What's the meaning of this?"

"You didn't know?" tanong ng Black King at hindi naman nakasagot agad si autumn. "I'm disappointed" tuluyan nang hindi nakaimik si Autumn dahil dun and retracted back. Renzo stiffened at kitang kita ko sa mga mata niya na gusto niyang lapitan si Autumn pero one wrong move and a bullet will be planted in your brain.

"So, you are the devils that started the war?" matapang na tanong ni Bianca and I give that to her because no one ever dared to actually ask them a question and not to mention, confront them in front of their people and in their territory. "I've heard a lot of things about you"

"Good things, I hope" sagot ni king at muntik na akong masamid sa sarili kong laway. I didn't expect him to actually answer it.

"Very good things actually"

"So, tell me, Bianca? I presume?"

"Stage name"

"Obviously... who are you working for?"

"Uhm... Wisdom? Under Autumn's direction? You should know that"

"I didn't told you to..." the black king signaled her to stop and so she did, instantly. The sid eof her which I haven't saw for a long time. If there's someone you can't defy then that's the black king.

"I do. But, I am more interested to know who you're working for beyond her power"

"Tell me, sir, don't you really have any idea who my real boss is?"

"I have a list but only one name is written on it"

"I see, so you've figured it out. But sadly, your underlings didn't. They were too slow to be called a top rank mafia assassin in the underground society. Am I right, Autumn?"
