"Are you sure you'll really go, son? What about your son and wife?" Tanong ni Dad sa akin. Isinarado ko muna ang maleta.


"I need to, Dad. Just one month. Hindi naman sobra 'yon. Babalik rin naman ako para sa kanila." Sagot ko at ibinaba na ang maleta ko mula sa kama. He sighed.


"Your two Moms are training with the girls. Sera's eager to be strong if ever her path with Alessandra crossed. She said she'll make her explode the way a volcano do." Napapahilot sa noo niyang sabi na nagpalaglag sa panga ko.


"And Elexea? She's doing it for what?"


"Your Mom influenced her." Bagot na sabi niya. We looked at each other with bored faces. Mom's really a headache. *sigh*


"What about Devon?" Lumabas na kami ng kwarto at naglakad.


"Your Uncle's discussing him things about business. Nakapag-usap na ba kayo ng asawa mo? Anong gagawin niyo sa mga naipundar ni Rin?" Shoot! Nakalimutan namin 'yang pag-usapan kagabi. We fought last night. Not a real fight na may suntukan. I don't know! Bigla-bigla na lang siyang nagalit 'nung sinabi kong maraming magaganda sa ibang bansa. Tss.


"We'll talk about it quick. Hindi naman kami mag-e-eroplano." Paris' father lend us one of their country's helicopter to use. Our first destination was US. Estaroza will give us the list of the active Mafia families in their state. Connections makes works easy.



Nasa sala na silang lahat. Waiting for me to come. Nagpa-late talaga ako. Duh? Bakit ako magmamadali para sa kanila? Hindi naman kami tatakbuhan ng helicopter. Psh.


"What took you so long!?" Angal agad 'nung tatlo. Atat na atat umalis. Tumingin ako kay Azazel na kausap si Izaac. Nakatalikod sa akin. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at kinalabit siya.


"Hoy." Tawag ko sa kaniya pero hindi niya ako kinibo, "Hoy, babae!" Hindi pa rin niya ako pinapansin. Ugh! Ano bang problema niya!?


"Babae, mag-usap tayo." She snobbed me again. Nasuklay ko ang buhok ko sa inis.


"Azazel." Nagbabanta ko nang tawag sa kaniya pero nanatili kay Izaac ang atensyon niya. The little shit was looking at me. Snobbing his fucking mother. Kinuha ko si Izaac. Finally, she looked at me.


"Bitch, what the fuck!?"


"What the fuck too! Why are you snobbing me? Attitude ka? Ganda ka?" Asar na sabi ko na agad naman nilang tinawanan. Inirapan ko lang sila.


"I'm not beautiful. I'm a gorgeous Queen. Give my child to me!" Ugh! How am I supposed to handle her attitude if I can't even handle mine!?


"No. Mag-usap tayo." Sabi ko bago umupo sa tabi niya. I looked at Izaac who's holding his toy and waving it. He showed it to me.


"Babu wabu yabu!" Was that a baby talk? What does he mean by that?


"Ang cute daw ng laruan niya. Maglaro daw kayo." Gulat na gulat kaming tumingin kay Paris. He understand that shit!?


"Bruh, I always talk to my princess. We can understand each other. Right, Princess?" Naka-ngiting sabi niya kay Kaitlin. Asa pang sumagot 'yang anak niya---


"HMMMMM!" Tango ni Kaitlin na nagpamilog sa mga mata namin. She do answered!


I looked at Izaac. I cleared my throat, "Lil shit, I'm leaving." Paalam ko sa kaniya. I don't know if he do really understand it or what, but he stopped waving his toy and his smile faded. He looked at me with teary eyes.


"Did he understand it?" Dad. I was unable to move for a second. We were just---staring at each other. O-Okay? It doesn't seem he understand it, right? Or...was he?


"Take him. Here." Sabi ko kay Azazel at marahang ibinigay sa kaniya si Izaac. She gently liften him up. His toy fell.


"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"


"FUCK! NO! DON'T CRY!" Damn! His voice is really loud! My precious ears are---hurt!


He was saying something we can't even understand between his blubbers. Agad ko rin siyang kinuha. And shit, this little man's hugging my neck tight. How months old was he again? Three? Turning four? Yeah, he'll turn four already if we'll add the 10th month when he's still inside his fucking mother. Fuck, yeah.


"Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. I was just kidding. Calm down, little man." Fuck. I don't think na makakaalis pa kami nito. I shouldn't have said it.


"Yada, yada, yada! Ahhh---pffft! Babababa!" What the fuck is he saying!?


"It wasn't a good joke daw." Paris translated. My jaw dropped. He could really understand him!?


"Ano bang gusto mong pag-usapan nang makaalis ka na?" Matabang na sabi ni Azazel na nililigpit ang mga laruan ni Izaac na nagkalat.


"About your wealth. Don't you have any plans how to handle them?" Tanong ko at inihiga si Izaac sa bisig ko. Before, he was too thin and light. Now, he's so chubby and heavy!


"Actually, I do have already. But I won't tell you since I don't trust a bitchy faggot like you."


"This faggot fucks you senseless, bitch. Umayos ka sa pagsagot-sagot mo dyan." Asar na sabi ko at siniko siya. She glared at me so I glared back at her.


"Tss." She snorted before putting all of his goddamn toys in a box. He hid it under the table and sat down beside me.


"I want to be part of UgD." She simply said while nailfiling her nails.


"WHAT!?" Is she insane!?


She gets her laptop and opened it. She connected it in the tv. There shows the website of UgD.


"How did you know how to log in?" Electric current. She flipped her hair back. At tumama pa ang mga 'yon sa mukha ko! Bwisit na babae.


"I have it in my memories." Nakangisi niyang sagot at tinuro pa ang sintido niya.


"Let's get to 'Be a member'." She clicked it and it loaded. It was like a autobiography-survey form.


"Username, huh? What about...DEATH?" She's obviously having fun! Ugh, this woman's crazy!


"Are you fucking sure about that? That's dangerous!" Pigil ko sa kaniya. Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mga mata.


"Seriously? You're scared?" What?, "I don't care if this shit's dangerous. Who's the deadly one here again?" Sabi niya at tinapat pa ang kamay nuya sa tenga niya. Nainis naman ako sa katarayan niya.


"I can hurt anyone from afar. Like, I don't care if they are demons or devil. I'm a monster. And I have the real power. Here." And she showed her hand with currents. Mapang-asar niya lang akong nginisihan at tinaasan ng kilay bago inirapan. B-Bitch!


"Then I'mma make mine. Gawan mo ako." Utos ko sa kaniya. She just snorted at nagpatuloy sa pagta-type.


"Whatever." Tss.


"Why don't we make our own Mafia too? Let's bring chaos in this world!" Masayang sabi niya at tumingin sa akin. Hinawakan niya ako habang nagtu-twinkle ang mga mata.


"Let's make our own Mafia, Nasty Dragunovv! It will be fun!" Fuck!?


"Calm down, will you!? You're hurting my son!" Sita ko sa kaniya bago siya pinitik sa noo. She gasped at nasapo ang noo niya. She glared at me.


"I wanna make my own Mafia Organization." Pinal na sabi niya. Electric Current laughed forcedly and fakely.


"Making one ain't easy. Many tried to make one but failed since Sinister Phantom already have most of the mens. How are you going to pursue them about joining you? What are you gonna do to spread your name? What are you going to do to get known? To gain power? Huh?" Nanghahamon na sabi niya na para bang minamaliit si Azazel. He just started a fire.


Azazel smiled at him sweetly and crossed her legs, "Bitch, don't underestimate the absolute. Baka nakakalimutan mong isa akong prinsesa. I was almost in the verge of being our nation's Queen. Just so you know, I once ruled a nation with a great population. Mafia pa kaya?" Natulala ako sa kaniya. F-Fuck. She looks so hot! She's so feisty!


"Oh? Why compare the way you rule your nation to Mafia? The two has big differences. I'm telling you. You'll just fail." We saw how her expression shifted. Kaparehong-kapareho iyon 'nung unang beses namin siyang nakita. And I can say that it's his doom already.


"I'll tell you this again, Xirquit, don't and stop underestimating my power. You don't know who are you talking to. So, shut up." She said coldly and sternly while glaring at him. Piercing him into two. Nayakap ko si Izaac sa sobrang lamig ng aura'ng inilalabas ng ina niya. Damn.


"I-If you badly want to establish one, I'll support you. I'll join you too if needed. We'll up against that Sinister Phantom. We'll destroy them and we'll live to make a tale." Napa-tingin siya sa akin habang na lalaki ang mga mata. I just shrugged.


"Just add 'Dragunovv' after your name. You're the real deal after all." Sabi ko. And I don't know why but she blushed. Like, her face really turned red. So cute.


Hindi siya sumagot. She added our surname after her name at nagpatuloy na sa pagfi-fill up. Tiningnan ko ang ipinangalan niya sa Mafia na itatayo niya.


"Dragon's Seal?" Naguguluhang sabi ko at tumingin sa kaniya. She smirked.


"You see, I do really hate that name. But what is chaos if we won't gather their attentions?"


*jawdrop*


"You're such a genius. But are you sure about that? Dragon's Seal?" Wala namang masama doon actually. Sa kaniya na nanggaling. She hates that name. Then why is she naming her Mafia the name she hates?


"It will be a war between dragons and phantoms. Phantoms are just ghosts from the dead. Why don't we kill them again for the second time around?" Nangingisi niyang sabi. That's it. Wala na akong masasabi pa. We don't have anything to argue about. She won. Everything's under her control already. She's just so smart!


Dragons versus Phantoms, huh?


"Hmmm, where should we put our base?" Tanong niya. Nagtinginan kami.


"Why not here? Like, this place was perfect. Marami pang bakanteng lote sa labas. This whole landmass is almost a size of five football stadiums. Why don't we make this your base and build accomodation here like training area, shooting area, and such?" Suhestiyon ni Denise. Hmmm, her ideas' good. But will Azazel accept it?


"That's a good idea. I'll take that." Woah! She really agreed to that!?


"T-Thank you!" Nangingiting sabi ni Denise at natakpan ang bibig niya sa tuwa. Good for her.


"I would love to have the lists of the smallest Mafias to the biggest. It's up to you bitches if you wanna join me of nah. Because even without you, I'll make an empire. So, raise your fucking hands if you want to join me." Makapangyarihan niyang sabi at tinanguhan sila. Everyone raised their hands. Even Xircuit.


"You're so plastic." Azazel to Electric Current.


"Well, being plastic is a way to cope up with bitches like you." He answered smoothly na inismiran lang ni Azazel. Burn bitch.


"We'll start from the positions." Kinuha niya ang notebook at papel na nasa lamesa at nagsulat.


"Of course, I'm gonna be the Boss here." Panimula niya. Tumango naman kami, "I'll have Xirquit as my consigliere, my right hand." Tatango na sana ako nang kunutan ko siya ng noo. What?


"I'm so honored." Tamad na tamad na sabi ni Xirquit. Wait a minute! Why is he the right hand!?


"Why? Because he's more useful than you. Tss." She answered as if she read my thoughts and damn. She's really a bitch!


"But anyways, you'll be the Underboss. Hell yeah. You're UNDER me, Nasty Dragunovv." Mapang-asar niyang sabi na nagpapula sa akin sa inis. Namumuro na siya sa akin!


"I would love to have the other Conquerors. The Winter Triplets, Fierce Quo and Stitch."


"Should I invite them to come over?" Max. She nodded.


"Yeah. That will be better." Agad namang tinawagan ni Max ang dapat na tawagan. I wonder, what she will do to them?


"For my S+ class soldiers, I will have here the flirt: Minerva, the soldier: Freya, and the Conquerors, Max and Paris."


"Woooowww! Bro! S+ class tayo! *O*" pagsasaya agad nila. Tss.


"Still, you're just nothing but lowlife creatures. Heh." Panira agad ni Azazel sa moment nila na agad nilang sinimangutan.


"Also, I would like to make those S+ class be on standby. They won't enter the scene unless I say so. I won't just drop important pieces in some cheap happenings. Since you all are professional already, you'll do the researches and spying and report it to my right hand, and he will be the one to report it to me. Are we clear?"


"YES, MA'AM!" Sagot agad nila at sumaludo pa. Smug look in their faces. And it's annoying!


"And for the S class, I'll have the rest of the Conquerors there. I'll leave them here." Sabi niya sabay sulat. I yawned, ganun din si Izaac. I looked at him who's sleeping in my arm habang naka-hawak pa sa damit ko. Inayos ko siya sa pagkalahiga. At agad siyang nagmulat ng mga mata. He roamed his eyes around as if looking for someone. He was about to cry when he see me. Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya at tinaasan siya ng kilay.


"Sleep." Utos ko sa kaniya. He stared at me for seconds before nodding. He sleep again. Very good.


"Hmmm, I'll invite Dad and Mom to join us. Especially the Presidents. What do you think?" Suhestiyon ni Paris na tinanguhan naman ni Azazel. That would be better.


"Then I'll have them as my partners only. Dragunovvs old men and Dad, I'll leave the my wealths to you. We need to establish big companies and overtake business industry. Are we clear here?"


"Don't worry, Hija. We'll do our best to do our job." Naka-ngiting sabi ni Dad na halatang masaya. Same to Tito Raghkeid and Devon. Excitement filled their eyes. I don't know but I'm getting excited too.


"And the rest will be our associates. Sera and Mom and Yanny, I think you need to be more sexy and head turners. You'll be in charge in negotiating with the Underboss. Well, masyadong mahinhin si Yanny so I don't think if she can do that job."


"I-I will be fine here at home. I'll take care of the kids."


"Great! That will be great."


"Dito na lang din ang asawa ko sa bahay. Ayoko siyang masaktan." Ani Paris at tumingin kay Maxine na agad siyang sinamaan ng tingin.


"Don' treat me as a weakling, Paris Kean. Baka gusto mong sipain kita."


"Baby naman, eh." Naka-ngusong sabi ni Paris and ugh, he's gross.


"What about us? Nganga lang kami ganon?" Taas-kamay na tanong ni Locke na naka-simangot.


"Nah. You'll be my doers." That confused us. Doers?


"You, with the underboss. I know your potential and abilities. And just like the S+ class, you're one of the important pieces too. You'll have my right hand to train you. In EXTREME MODE. I want the bests of each one of you. No one's gonna be useless here." I was in awe as I looked at her. She sound like a real Boss planning. Like, shit? The positions she made were perfect, I can say. That's why I'm looking after our debut.


"The S class will be in charge in offence. They'll handle the associates. S+ class will be in the defense. But it may vary through the situation we'll be facing. No one's a pawn here but our associates. Do you understand everything clearly?"


"YES, MA'AM!"


She smirked, "Now, let's settle everything here in UgD." At nag-focus na ulit siya roon. Everyone can't hide their excitement. Kung ano-ano na agad ang napag-usapan nila.


Azazel gave half a billion pesos bago pa siya tuluyang naging member. Bale, it's 1 billion already since she made me an account too. And mine's LIFE Dragunovv III.


"So there were battles too, huh?" Napapatango niyang sabi while scrolling through the Skirmish Arena's rankings. There were two categories: Group and Solo.


"That will be a great place if you want to gain fame and money. Every single fight worths 50% of your wealth. It's about pulling each others down. Kapag nanalo ka, the 40% will be yours and the 10% ay mapupunta sa UgD funds. Ikaw naman ang mawawalan kapag natalo ka. No one dared to take the first place away from Hades. The second place remained to Aloisia. Many tried her but they were defeated." Minerva. I saw how a smirk formed in Azazel's lips. And I know, may binabalak siya.


"We'll join them." I KNEW IT!


"Feel free to join but I will. And I will take that first place away from him. Let's see who's the strongest here." C-Crap!


"Are you serious!? He's insanely strong, Dearil!" React agad nila na tutol sa gusto niya. She laughed. Then she glared at them.


"Then what about me? You think I was just some weakling? I'll do it without going near him. I will play with him. Crush his dignity and ego in front of everyone. Oh, how I would love to see their priceless reactions and their defeaning silence once he fell on the floor. That will be a big catch. 40% of his wealth, huh?" I gulped. What she was planning...was dangerous. But I trusts her. I know she can beat him. With her superhuman abilities, she can even kill him.


"Let's all make the grandest debut to ever happen! HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" She laughed, evilly. Pasimple ko siyang nalayuan dahil sa kabaliwan niya. She sounds creepy, for pete's sake! But she looks so damn flawless an she laugh. UNFAIR!
