Mikael's perspective,
It's been peaceful these months even though there is a small mishap here and there but it doesn't affect us in any way. Just as I thought today would also be the same boring days one of my partners from China called, telling me that I'm needed there to discuss some problems about the shipment and local trading. "Tch, just when I thought I could be laid back as usual, now I have to leave and goes all the way to China just to deal and solve the shits. That blockhead couldn't even deal with this properly. Useless! What usage do I give a post of general manager to him if he cant do his word properly? Damien! Call Tim and Dexter here! No call them all, we're holding an emergency meeting. We can have those guys from Grey Howl to hear about this."
I was pissed off but at the same time content that at least today won't be boring. It would be more interesting if these have anything to do with those bastards from Grey Howl since with that I can attack
After the meeting is done, everybody got up and walks out of the hall followed by their own exclusive secretary. I don't really care about who they are but in case of emergency, knowing who's who is better. That's why I ask Vanessa to give me a report of their background, including Damien. This is also a big chance for me to chip off Mikael's power. I didn't imagine that Mikael gives me enough trust to do his international affairs but probably he plans on making me his underboss, but that's also not quite right since my division is a female division. I always thought Dexter was his underboss but no, Dexter is more like his loyal hound. Tim is the advisor and consigliere while Mark is just a Medic. Since Mark is known for being quite crazy, I wonder why he became the medic. Well, that's a question for another time. Today I have to prepare to depart for Japan, the detail is not yet given to me but probably Damien's gonna send it to Vanessa soon. "Let me join you. Drop me by my
They stand out from the others due to their outfits but thank God, they didn't show their tattoos. It was easy to spot them from the crowd so I approach them. They probably can't recognize us since we dress to blend in with the other tourist. They speak in Japanese and thinking I won't be able to understand them I replied, "shita ni kiotsu kero! Kono kuso yarou !! shini tai-no?!" (Watch your tongue! you fucker! Wanna die?!) They were quite shocked by the challenge I give but it was not long until they realize who they're talking to. They bow their head and apologize to me. Apparently, they didn't receive the notice that we will dress up as tourists and expect us to come like a mafia member. They introduce themself to me and so we did the same. Turns out their name is Inagawa Kai and Kudo Kuzakura. They escort us to their car and we go to their base since their oyabun, Iwamoto Hisao. I perk my curiosity since usually, they name their clan with the surname of the head bu
I woke up with a major hangover, my head feels like it's about to be split open, and as I look around I was already in my room wearing a yukata instead of a kimono, a shriveled yukata that is. Probably Vanessa brings me back since she is not drinking much from what I see yesterday. I blacked out and couldn't remember a thing. The last thing I remember is asking to talk privately to Hisao and then we continued drinking and eating while watching the geisha's performance. The sound of the sliding door surprised me, it was Alice and Vanessa. "Woken up Boss? It's almost noon now. For real, do you even remember what you did yesterday?" Vanessa said in protest as she cleans up my futon and pillow. Alice gives me a glass of warm water and painkillers. "Are you okay? do you feel a little bit better now?" I nod in response as I give back the glass to Alice. " What did I do yesterday? tell me everything in detail without missing anything." I ask as I rub my head while going to the bath
That day, we celebrate with a big banquet. The hall was filled with cheerful laughs and smiles, everyone was happy. When Vanessa and the others heard about me being adopted and taking their name, they were shocked to the point they freeze up for a couple of seconds but looking at them now, they are laughing and smiling, making jokes, and telling stories with Hisao's men. Even with the existence of a language barrier but they are able to convert their feelings very well. I never thought that things could turn out this way since I expect a serious talk with the risk of rejection and conflict. But with me being their daughter, they will support me unconditionally especially when they are the ones who ask me about it. The way these Iwamoto couples carry themself is nobler than every relationship that I have seen in my life. Growing up losing my home and my family, my knowledge of love is a little bit twisted even though I received a good life when my mom adopted me and I t
I am now a person with two identities, well, supposedly three jests I didn't discard the Terrance family. I'm highly grateful for my mother's help this whole time, I mean she practically raised me but now that I live in a dangerous community where I could die at any moment, she could be a weakness against me and I also didn't want to risk her normal life. She is a pretty narcissistic person, but she is not all bad which is why I am able to be close to her.I wouldn't say she is a complete angel but she is better than the street so I put up with her demands until I can live independently. The Iwamoto couple shows me what a real, loving, and sincere family feels like in a short amount of time. That's probably because they understand the feeling of losing someone precious, or maybe that's just how their personality is. It's really either that or the people I've met so far are just too shitty.Along the ride on the plane, I couldn't fall asleep since my mind is fille
I look at my side to see Dexter holding my hand as he took my knife and put it back to its place, my pockets. "What?! You're siding with them? The Hell?!" I shouted as I harshly pull back my arm from his grip. "What's wrong with you? You should be helping me finish him off right now rather than stopping me so that we could finish the problem or maybe a possible future threat for us. Are you out of your mind right now?!" "Calm down Lily, I know you're filled with rage right now but if you kill him now, our plan will be wrecked up and Mikael's gonna kill you for ruining his plan. You know him, best for last." Dexter said as he put both of his hands up and slowly moved their way to both of my shoulders. Jacob and the rest were just silent there listening to our conversation. I grunt as I back off and say, "Fine, I get it. But Jacob, this is not over, I will be the one taking your neck." With that, I turn my back and go back along with my team and Dexter. We return to the base a
I was chilling with Yuki and Luna, listening to music while scrolling through my social media. Then I started thinking about yesterday, it was a mess now that I rationally view it. It's going to be up on the news and Mikael's definitely not happy hearing that. I was called by Mikael yesterday and he roasts the shit out of me. He was pissed but somehow not as pissed as I thought he would, maybe cuz it also affects Grey Wolf. But what shocked me is the punishments he gave out. Usually, there are no such things as a second chance when we violated the rules unless you're part of CARDS. Since if you're part of it, you played big roles inside the organization, and thus second chance or divine grace is given. It's usually either losing body parts like fingers or toes maybe even an eye or you get beaten up half dead. But this guy, Mikael, the boss, give me a punishment like he is my dad. He put me on a week probation. I mean, what the heck? He literally ground me for a week. If I should res
Jeniffer and Vanessa are now in my office along with the 8 men that's covered in cold sweats. Vanessa goes to my side as Jeniffer stood in front of my desk. I stayed silent as I put my hand together in front of my face. The room was silent for a while but no one is making any noise or asking any questions. The 8 men standing behind Jeniffer are just staring at each other while Jeniffer and Vanessa are just standing there like they're used to this situation. I finally broke the silence and said, "I will be making a new division that consists of only men that will deal with the security of our deals on drugs. I'm naming it March Hare and this team will be the sub under you, Mad Hatter. I want you to train them and you will also be responsible for whatever they did, any problem arises you go to Vanessa. She will tell you what to do after consulting with me. Now take those 8 coward men away. They can't even beat up a group of teenagers. You can use any kind of method, if any of
I woke up feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t
I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo
I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let
I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c
As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup
The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
I was shocked seeing their reaction since I thought they were just playing some crack code. I come in seeing them argue about it like a child as if they're just playing or joking around. But then the moment I cracked the code, their face turn pale due to shock at the same time their eyes lit in excitement. This must be a big lead since they look like a baby that finally got his candy after crying for decades. Tim immediately dives into a mountain of documents, he scrambles through his documents, shoving and throwing them around. When he finally found it we find three names which are Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. These names don't sound familiar to me but then the moment they mention 'Lost Eden'. I somehow got the guise of it. These three must be someone that's crucial in finding whatever it is we need to find."Liliane, Go and call everyone to the meeting room, it starts in 30 minutes. Make sure everyone is there." Tim said as he once again buried himself
Still on Mikael's PerspectiveHe was telling a lot of information after getting beaten up half dead but he never answer the basic question ask which is his name. "Alright, that's good for now-" I said as drop the bat down but then he cut me off, "How do you know I won't lie?" I stop on my track and scoff at him, it's so funny to think he would bring this question now out of all time. "Tell us your name." He stayed quiet for a while before telling me. "I'm Danny Lance. now answer me. How?"I looked at him for a good minute before answering him, " Do you think we're stupid? We have our own intel and from what you said it matches, logically thinking your words won't be a lie unless you completely fanaticize your answer." after hearing my words, the baffled look on his face gives me an extra bit of satisfaction. "Good, now! one last question, Where's the money, Danny?" I continued.He flinches at my question but I don't give a fuck at this point because this que
Mikael's Point of View,I was panting while being held back by Wuying. I shrugged him off as he was put back on his chair. I was filled with rage as he insult not only me but my country. In terms of mafia life, our country's origin represents who we are as an entity, that's why each mafia will harbor at least one or two of its country's culture as a worm of identity. With him insulting my country is the same as insulting my whole organization. I walk towards him as I bend down and hold his bruised face. "You fuckin bitch! Don't mess with me fucker. Tell us what you know or you'll wish I kill you right now."He chuckled at my threat as he spits his blood out and said, "Why? you're going to use that invisible torture thing? Do you think I'm afraid? You need me in order to find out who's behind this and you also need me to crack that code you found on the safe. Why do you think it's this easy to find the clue? Let's strike a deal instead. Unless you wanna kill me and lose
