Eugene murmured like a sigh, standing in that spot for a long while before turning away. The cool night breeze struck his cheek. It was as chilling as that day from his past.

Eugene woke to Angel's meowing for food, rubbing his heavy eyes as he checked the clock. 7:54 AM. He had slept in later than usual. Angel, confirming that Eugene was awake, went to the food bowl and meowed vigorously. The sound made his heavy head feel like it was rattling. Eugene sighed deeply, got out of bed, and picked up the cat food.

After satisfying Angel, he looked out the window to see a scene no different from any other day. It was completely different from the previous dawn filled with shouting, gunshots, and police sirens. Chinatown was generally bustling, but gunshots were uncommon. Thanks to that, he'd spent the night sleepless. As the talkative Italian apartment manager had told Eugene when catching him on his way home, it was likely a clash between Vietnamese and Chinese gangs that had been infiltr

    Luca Datero also handed over the armful of flowers he was holding. Books and flower bouquets. These were the gifts Luca Datero had been bringing to the candy store for three days now. Books could just be piled in a corner, but flowers were troublesome to deal with. Yet he couldn't throw gifts from the boss of Confezzioni in the trash, so several large bouquets were lined up in the candy store window."I told you to call me Luca."Luca Datero said with a smile. Eugene made a perplexed expression."How about lunch?""I already ate."Eugene calmly lied. Luca Datero looked at the clock hanging on the store wall. It was just turning 12:00 noon. He clearly knew there was no way Eugene had already eaten, but Eugene maintained a composed gaze with an awkward smile. Luca Datero stared at Eugene's face for a moment, then shrugged."Well, can't be helped then. I'll see you again later."After Luca Datero left the store, Jerry, who had been watching from behind the counter, rushed over."Don't fa

    "I really wanted to throw them away, but I was worried it might cause problems!" Jerry explained, flustered. Valentine silently stared at Jerry while methodically crushing the flowers. Each time Valentine's foot pressed down on the flowers, Jerry looked as if he himself were being crushed."Throw them away," Valentine ordered after completely crushing all the flowers without missing a single one."Yes!" Jerry exclaimed, finally looking relieved as he crouched down and began sweeping up the crushed flowers."Here's the money," said the children who had gathered at the counter with their selected candies, placing coins on top. After Eugene checked the amount and nodded, each child firmly grasped their candy and ran out of the store.Ding-a-ling. As the bell rang and the children left the store, Valentine slowly walked toward Eugene. The pressure felt with each step he took was tremendous. Valentine grabbed Eugene's shoulder and guided him toward the back of the store.They stepped throu

    Valentine's demanding voice was slightly hoarse. His low voice seemed to whisper and also rumble deep in his throat."Hurry."Valentine urged impatiently and nibbled on Eugene's lips. Eugene began to rub the hot dick that filled his hand completely. Valentine's hand, which held Eugene's, also moved in matching rhythm and speed.Hah. Mmph.Faint moans escaped between their intense kisses. It was just hands stroking in a piston-like motion, but the pleasure was beyond imagination.Intertwined lips and tongues, hands pleasuring each other, mixing hot breaths, gazes meeting in a heated state.Valentine paused his hand for a moment, then grabbed Eugene's hips and pulled him closer. Then he gripped both their dicks together and began to stroke them. Eugene grabbed Valentine's shoulders with his freed hands. Valentine's shirt wrinkled terribly under the strong grip."Ah-, mm..."Eugene kept making short moans. His body and mind felt like they were melting with heat. He felt like he would cum

    Derek raised his eyebrows at Eugene's request. Eugene spoke again."It would be better to see directly rather than checking by touch, so unbutton your shirt or lift it up.""Eugene, I'm not wearing a wire."Eugene's gaze sharpened. Seeing that intense look, Derek ran his hand through his hair and muttered, "Right, that's the kind of person you are."Derek pulled out his shirt that was tucked into his pants and lifted it up to his chest. Derek's upper body, once a high school starting quarterback, was still as muscular as before. Eugene confirmed in the darkness that there was nothing attached to that torso. Though not asked to, Derek turned sideways to show his back as well."Are you certain there are no listening devices recording or monitoring my voice right now? Whether in this car or anywhere on your person?"Eugene asked firmly one more time."Yes."Derek answered definitively.Eugene nodded with that confirmation. Even if there were listening devices in the car, since Derek had

    In a candy store where only one or two customers visit a day, there's almost nothing to do. But Jerry, whose enthusiasm reached the sky, was busy sweeping and cleaning the store all day. Moving around the store without stopping for a moment, he made it so clean that it was hard to find even a speck of dust. He put particular effort into cleaning the front glass window. In Eugene's view, Jerry was more suited for a normal job than being in the Mafia. With such diligence and industriousness, he would succeed in whatever he did. If Eugene were the owner of this store, Jerry would already be a manager."Boss, coffee."Jerry, who had gone out sometime earlier, handed over a steaming hot coffee. The good aroma made Eugene's stomach stir and saliva pool in his mouth. Good coffee always knows how to please people."Thanks."Eugene gladly accepted the coffee. Jerry made a satisfied expression. After thoroughly searching the area around the store for days, he had finally succeeded in finding a

    The two old men appeared to be longtime friends, but there was clearly a hierarchy between them. When Janni, the consigliere, spoke, Henry eventually sat back down in his seat.The air in the room was very heavy. Everyone was staring at Henry. Exposed to their gazes, the old man hunched his neck and wiped his temples and the nape of his neck with a napkin. Sweat dampened the napkin."We were old friends."Janni Alburno suddenly spoke. Henry's wrinkled neck moved slightly as if swallowing dry saliva. Henry put down the napkin he was holding and reached out to Janni."Listen, Janni."The voice calling Janni was soaked with tension, and also very desperate. Given their similar ages, the two must have known each other for decades. But there was not a hint of warmth in Janni Alburno's eyes as he looked at Henry."Take off your clothes."Janni Alburno said. Henry swallowed hard. He no longer seemed to have the luxury of hiding his tension."I said take off your clothes, Henry."Janni Alburn

    Eugene carefully wiped the gun with a napkin from the table to remove his fingerprints, then handed it back to Valentine. Taking the gun, Valentine smiled, showing his teeth slightly."You're not just a lawyer. You're the one who will become my consigliere."With the returned gun, Valentine shot Henry Pisano in the thigh. Pfft. Despite being muffled by the silencer, the gunshot was louder than expected. The old man groaned loudly. Eugene glanced at the blood-covered old man and grabbed Valentine's wrist."Anything more is pointless.""Is that so?""End it now."When Eugene spoke firmly, Valentine made a show of considering it with a "hmm.""Claudio."Eugene gripped Valentine's wrist tightly. Eugene's hand holding Valentine's wrist was trembling slightly. Those pale blue eyes glanced at Eugene's hand firmly gripping his wrist, then gave a faint snort.Eugene finally watched as Valentine put a bullet in Henry Pisano's head. The old man's body went limp.

    "Hey."Valentine greeted casually and turned his eyes to the television. He had a lollipop in his mouth. The crinkling sound of candy wrappers kept ringing out. Eugene looked down and saw candy wrappers at Valentine's feet and Angel playing with them.Eugene's brow furrowed. He irritably picked up the candy wrappers and put them in the trash can. The trash can was right under the coffee table, right at Valentine's feet. It was unbearable that Valentine would just drop them on the floor with the trash can clearly visible."Didn't anyone teach you to put trash in the trash can?"When Eugene complained, Valentine lightly snorted. Eugene's frown deepened. Valentine stared at Eugene for a moment, then took out the white stick from his mouth. It was an empty stick after he had finished eating the candy. Valentine showed it to Eugene conspicuously and then threw it in the trash can. The candy stick made a 'ting' sound as it hit the inside wall of the metal trash can."So you do know how."Eu

It could be a warning to stay out of the fight between the two families."Fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured.

    Instead of going straight to the hospital room, Valentine gestured to Eugene, whom he had left alone until now. The waiting room's attention immediately focused on Eugene. To escape the oppressive stares, Eugene quickly moved to Valentine's side.Upon entering the hospital room, Don Luciano greeted them from his bed. Standing beside him was a familiar figure—Don Santino Colvino, boss of the Colvino Family and a longtime ally of the Luciano Family.Don Colvino embraced Valentine, then returned to Don Luciano's side and took his hand."To see you lying here like this... Our era truly seems to be ending," Don Santino said with a sad expression. Don Luciano gripped Don Colvino's hand tightly."Listen, Santino. If there's any troubling movement afterward, please take care of Claudio.""Of course. The Lucianos and Colvinos have been longtime allies, haven't they? And we will continue to be."The two bosses reaffirmed the cooperation between their Families."By the way... I'm worried about B

    "Ricky!""Don!"Everyone cried out in surprise. Valentine supported the suffering Don Luciano and held him in his arms. Don Luciano, who normally appeared large and solid as a rock, looked very small in Valentine's arms. Eugene looked at the white tablecloth on the floor. Between the broken dishes and spilled food were small red spots that looked like blood. Shifting his gaze to Don Luciano's lips confirmed it.Violent coughing and hemoptysis."Call an ambulance!"Eugene shouted toward the waiter standing in the corner of the restaurant. The fidgeting waiter snapped to attention and picked up the phone at the counter. Before long, the sound of an ambulance siren could be heard in the distance. The ominous feeling of the bell he had heard leaving the candy store scratched at the back of his mind again. The siren sound, much louder and higher than the bell from earlier, was gradually getting closer. Though it was a sound he'd heard occasionally, somehow it sounded like a warning bell to

    The place they arrived at by car was the Italian restaurant in Brooklyn where Eugene had first met Don Luciano.The entrance to the restaurant, which had been bustling with customers on his previous visits, had a "Closed" sign hanging."Oh, Angel!" Don Luciano greeted Valentine. At the table sat the consigliere Mateo Martino and the underboss Alberto Burcelli."Come, sit down," Mateo gestured. Alberto indicated the empty seats with a nod. There were three empty chairs at the large round table. Seats prepared for Valentine, Eugene, and Leo."You handled this job exceptionally well and cleanly," Don Luciano praised, patting Valentine's shoulder. Mateo smiled with his eyes as he sipped wine, and Alberto put down the newspaper he had been holding onto the table.The Miami Herald.A local Miami newspaper. A large headline was emblazoned on the front page:"BLOODY WAR BETWEEN GANGS OVER DRUG TRAFFICKING RIGHTS. THIRTY MEMBERS OF EMERGING GANG KILLED IN TWO DAYS. GANG ANNIHILATED. BRUTAL MU

    "Valentine really seems to like you, brother Eugene," Jerry said, quietly approaching from the counter where he had been sitting silently. He envied how unusually friendly Valentine was toward Eugene.Jerry, who had briefly served as a driver when everyone from the candy store was away, had continued to hang around the store afterward. But it didn't seem to be Valentine's wish. Whenever Valentine appeared, Jerry would hide in some corner and not make a sound. He was afraid of making eye contact and being thrown out of the store."Valentine really loves candy," Jerry said, unwrapping a lollipop similar to the one Valentine had taken earlier and putting it in his mouth. As a young man, Jerry wanted to imitate everything his idol Valentine did."I wonder why he likes candy so much."Hearing Jerry's muttering, Eugene smirked. Jerry's question was also Eugene's question. Valentine was a killer who took contracts from the mafia to murder people. It was only natural to wonder why such a man
