After checking his wristwatch, Don Datero walked toward the door leading to the glass greenhouse. It seemed today's contact would take place in the greenhouse. Don Datero opened the door to the greenhouse and let Eugene enter first. Eugene took a short breath and moved forward.

There was already a guest in the greenhouse. The man standing with his back turned was of medium height with a large build. Not large from being overweight. From his thick neck and protruding trapezius muscles to his broad shoulders and thick forearms – the man's body was wound with thick muscle. His hair was the distinctive black of Italians.

Looking at the man's back, Eugene traced through the hierarchy of the Belmonte family in his mind. What Eugene wanted was an executive who could access weapon trafficking information. Belmonte had five branches. Therefore, the man would be one of Belmonte's five caporegimes.

Though he must have sensed their presence, the man didn't turn around. Meanwhile, Don Datero, who

    "I collected the samples with my own hands. As a precaution, I took samples twice at different times and had them verified by different agencies. There's no room for error."At Don Datero's words, the strength drained from Tony Rico's shoulders. Tony Rico looked at Eugene and exhaled a shallow sigh. The harsh glare in his eyes also subsided. Eugene, who had been quietly watching the two, could no longer hold back and intervened."Don Datero?"Don Datero looked at Eugene and smiled, then extended his hand to Tony Rico.

    The wait was tedious. Eugene fidgeted with his hunting rifle to pass the time. The hunting rifle had been custom-ordered for the young and small-framed Eugene. Having only ever pulled the trigger of large adult rifles before, Eugene was quite pleased with this gift made specifically for him.Eugene looked up at the man who had given him the custom rifle. He was an Italian with black hair and black eyes. A rare handsome man with deep, sharp eyes.The man was by no means affectionate or gentle. He was taciturn, and during the few days they spent together, it was rare to hear his voice at length. He had taught Eugene how to use a knife and how to shoot. It was he who had taught Eugene how to line up empty bottles and cans on fallen trees and hit them with a pistol, who had let him fire a hunting rifle for the first time, and who had shown him how to drain the blood from game, cut open the belly, remove the entrails, and skin it. He never treated Eugene like a child but always as a man. E

    Giovanni Belmonte said quietly as he sipped his whiskey. After swallowing, he turned to look at Eugene and spoke."But then you appeared there that day."It was an unexpected reunion after nearly 20 years at the New York Mafia Council. The passage of time was clearly visible on Giovanni Belmonte. But not so much that Eugene couldn't recognize him. The moment he saw him, Eugene knew he was the man from the Catskills. He was still handsome and exuded his characteristic sharp demeanor."Just a few months after losing Belmonte's last remaining heir, you appeared there as if you'd been waiting. I won't ask how you got involved with the Lucianos. Whatever the reason, the fact that you've found yourself here now is clearly the destiny of a Belmonte man.""I'm not your son. I'm not a Belmonte. I never was."Eugene spoke with calm eyes and tone. Giovanni's eyes were equally calm. Eugene realized that indeed, he did resemble Giovanni Belmonte in some ways."I'm a candy store lawyer.

    A lawyer for the mafia. He hadn't wanted that. A consigliere for the Italian mafia. He hadn't wanted that either. The same went for murder. But above all, the reason Eugene couldn't be part of the Luciano family, couldn't be Valentine's consigliere, was precisely this: wanted or not, Belmonte blood flowed through his veins.Belmonte, who had orchestrated the murder of Valentine's parents before his eyes.Valentine, who had killed Giovanni Belmonte's son.Don Luciano, who was trying to exterminate Belmonte before his death. Valentine, who wanted the same. The Luciano family, who mocked the Belmontes for losing their heir and took pleasure in their misfortune.There was no place for Eugene in the Luciano family, which was tightly bound by hatred and resentment toward the Belmontes. If they discovered that Eugene was Giovanni Belmonte's son, how would they change? And you... you who desire Belmonte's extermination more than anyone, how would you change?"...Valentine."Knock, knock."Bos

    "He's the last of the Belmonte bloodline. Once I knew that fact, I couldn't just stand by, especially not with him in Luciano's clutches."Nevertheless, Tony had acted against the Don's wishes. He spoke to Giovanni in a half-apologetic tone."That's different from what you said about mixed-bloods not being accepted even as low-ranking members. That guy is mixed. He has Asian blood.""But he's a Belmonte. That's enough."Though most families in New York had abandoned their pure bloodline policies, the Belmonte was an exception. Not just Tony, but all the executives and even low-ranking members thought the same. But this was an entirely different matter. Eugene was a man with Belmonte blood. That was enough."Luca Datero..." Giovanni murmured the name of Confezzioni's young boss, Don Datero.

    With his handsome face, sharp yet calm eyes, and tightly closed lips that made him look taciturn, the man resembled Giovanni in many ways. The intention behind placing the frame there was obvious. It was meant to remind Eugene of his half-brother who had died at Luciano's hands.Eugene laid the frame face down on the table. If even Giovanni Belmonte, his supposed biological father, didn't evoke great sentiment, there was no reason to feel any particular emotion for a half-brother he had never even met."Isn't there anything you want to eat? You haven't been eating properly for days."Jerry said worriedly."Not really..."Eugene murmured softly as he leaned deeply back in his chair. There was no reason for his appetite to return in this situation. He felt no need to force down food that didn't appeal to him, especially since it wasn't directly related to his survival.Resting his chin on his hand while staring out the window, Eugene suddenly murmured:"...Candy.""What?"Jerry moved cl

    PrologueWandering alone in New York's back alleys late at night is not a wise course of action. Eugene had generally lived his life by making wise decisions, but today was an exception. This was because he had just received news that he passed the bar exam. Eugene had a celebration party with his friends and left the bar alone very late at night, quite intoxicated, walking slowly through New York's night streets. To make matters worse, he went deep into a narrow, dirty back alley to relieve a sudden urge to urinate.Eugene enjoyed the feeling of relief as he urinated on the street, hiding his body in the darkness of the dim alley. With alcohol making his body sway, his stream of urine wobbled back and forth, painting the wall. Having consumed so much tequila that it might as well have been flowing through his veins instead of blood, the tequila scent in his urine wasn't just his imagination.Eugene heard a suspicious sound just as he finished his business and was straightening his pa

    Knock. Knock.There was a knock at the door. Eugene started, but Valentine paid no attention and continued focusing on what he was doing. When there was no answer, another knock sounded, followed by Jerry's voice."Boss Eugene? Valentine?""...Jerry is...""Ignore him."Valentine said irritably and increased the speed of his strokes on their dicks. His thumb rubbed Eugene's glans and the concave urethral opening. Stars flashed before Eugene's eyes."Nngh-!"Eugene tensed his waist and barely swallowed the moan that was about to escape.Knock. Knock."Boss Eugene? Are you not up yet?"Jerry called again. The door wasn't locked, so if he opened it, he would have a clear view of the current scene. But regardless of the anxiety, climax was approaching. Just a little more. Eugene gripped Valentine's forearm tightly, urging him on."Claudio. Hurry..."When Eugene urged him, a brief smile crossed Valentine's face. He soon captured Eugene's lips roughly. And with his free hand, he grabbed Eug
