It is from Dad, he said that this mission is very important.” He said then took a sit beside me.“How important is it? Why do you look so serious? Haha “ I said jokingly, but he remained serious.“This will cost our lives if something goes wrong. Are you still in?” He answered with a worried face.“You know that I always put my life on the line in every mission right? Don’t worry, we will plan first before we move.” I said with a smile to assure him.“But, what will we get if we do this right and we succeed in this mission?” I added because the harder the mission the better the prize.“ My father will make me the new leader of our mafia clan, This is his last test before he passes the position to me.”Wow.

Good afternoon sir, we are here to have some vacation. I heard that this place has a good environment and beautiful scenery." I answered and gave them a huge smile."

He looked different from the others."We are only doing this because of an order," Kennedy answered then he put down the unconscious man and I felt that he was getting ready for a battle.I don't think that is a good idea, because there are almost 20 of them and I don't think they are an easy opponent. I was getting nervous because of the way they looked at us. They looked like hungry wolves looking at their food." You chose the wrong place to do that. No one can touch my pack " The man said angrily."You must be the alpha of this pack," Kennedy said."Yes, I think you did your research before coming here.

Sheena asked confused."Yes, I can't recall what happened after the fight," Lucas answered, trying to remember the last events before he passed out."How about Adam? Do you remember him?" Sheena asked.Lucas answered by nodding, he still couldn't believe that Adam could do that."You were brought in unconscious, suffering from wolfsbane poisoning. You've been here for a few days now.
