"He's part Asian, right? Asians generally have a strong sense of sexual virtue, so they don't have sex after just one or two dates. Some extreme ones even wait until after the wedding ceremony. That's how Asians are, isn't it?"Having said that, Leo quickly added before Valentine could explode:"Of course, since he's also half Italian, he probably won't go that far. Right, Valentine?"Valentine was silent for a moment. He seemed to be trying to think positively. Leo was amazed. Goodness! Valentine trying to exercise such patience!"...Fine. Better to have a sense of virtue than a loose behind."Valentine muttered as he withdrew the gun from the back of Leo's head."Tell Don Luciano that Eugene will work at my store from now on. He likes money, so tell him to set a generous amount.""Should I also request the law firm to handle things in advance?""Yes."Valentine leaned back in his seat. Leo finally took another large bite of his panini and drove the car. The brick-red five-story buil

Chapter 12

But that state didn't last long. Eugene immediately began to think of a solution. If that law firm had dismissed him, he needed to find another firm as quickly as possible. However, the situation was hopeless. Since his position at B&W had been secured early on, he hadn't considered looking elsewhere. Positions at prestigious law firms would have all been filled by now. At this point, any position he could secure would come with a salary cut of more than half, or even two-thirds. That would be devastating for his career.Why? Why did this suddenly happen?"Damn it."Eugene began biting his thumbnail, a habit he'd abandoned after the age of 7. That's how shocking this situation was.As Eugene paced anxiously around the room, Angel, sensing the mood, slipped quietly under the bed. While alternately biting his nails and lower lip, Eugene glared at the phone. His acceptance to B&W had been partly due to Professor Hamilton's recommendation letter. Professor Hamilton, who considered Eugene

Eugene slowly looked around the café. The interview location Professor Hamilton had given him was a small café. This suggested that the professor's contact wasn't a law firm or large company. The fact that the interview was being held in such a place meant it was likely a private individual. Though slightly disappointed, any position recommended by Professor Hamilton was worth interviewing for."Biscetti, my boy!"Someone raised a hand from a corner table by the glass window. Due to the backlight, Eugene couldn't see clearly. He walked in that direction. As he got closer and his eyes adjusted to the light, the other person's figure became increasingly clear.An expensive, elegant suit, white hair, and a wrinkled face. Eugene stopped walking when he saw the man's face. This was the source of the creeping anxiety he'd been feeling since yesterday. Eugene inwardly sighed."How many days has it been since we last met? Please, sit down."The elderly Italian-American lawyer, Mateo Martino,

Eugene asked aloud what he had already suspected. Mateo Martino smiled silently."We've looked into you a bit. You're the kind of talent that large law firms would welcome with open arms. But from now on, there won't be a position for you at any law firm."He meant they would ensure Eugene couldn't enter any law firm. There might be firms where the mafia's influence didn't reach. But Eugene couldn't be so optimistic. How many people could easily say "No" when facing a gun?At that moment, Eugene completely abandoned his attachment to New York and a successful life there. It was painfully regrettable, but that was fine. America was a large country with plenty of major cities where one could enjoy success. For example, Miami, where his parents had moved... He would have to take the bar exam again when changing states, but considering his future life, it was a sacrifice he'd have to make.Yes, Miami would be fine too. Eugene recalled the weather and scenery of Miami when he had visited h

Creeak. The bed let out a soft cry as Valentine placed his knee on the edge and climbed up. He boldly moved over Eugene, who was half-lying down. Eugene, trying to avoid the approaching face, ended up lying flat on the bed. Valentine placed his hands on either side of Eugene's head and curled up the corners of his mouth."How did you get in? This is breaking and entering.""I heard you signed the contract?""News travels fast, I see."Eugene sassed the killer without fear. It occurred to him that this might endanger his life, but he had just been forced to sign a contract after being threatened with a funeral director's business card. It was impossible to speak pleasantly to the person responsible for his predicament. But Valentine, showing no sign of offense, asked:"May I kiss you?""...How did the conversation suddenly turn to that?"Eugene, who had been imagining punching Valentine, wore a baffled expression."I asked if I could kiss you."The blonde beauty asking again somehow l

Chapter 16

Doni, a strip club enthusiast, asked while swinging his feet. He asked every single day despite always being rejected. When Eugene silently shook his head, Doni started rambling about the strip club he planned to visit tonight. It was mostly about the strippers—who had perfect breasts, who had killer buttocks, and whose recent breast surgery was really terrible. Thanks to Doni, who talked about strip clubs and strippers at every opportunity, Eugene knew everything about the nearby strip clubs and their strippers despite never having visited one.Big Mouth. That was Doni's nickname. True to his nickname, he was an incredible chatterbox. In this world, talking too much unnecessarily was practically inviting death, but he had the skill to know what to say even while chattering. His chatter was exhausting, but thanks to him, Eugene had learned a lot about this place.Doni had another nickname: Brain. Those who knew him usually called him by that nickname. When Eugene first heard the nickn

The place they arrived at in Leo's car was the Italian restaurant in Brooklyn where Eugene had first met Ricardo Luciano. Both Ricardo Luciano and Valentine seemed to be regulars here, dining at least once every two or three days. Of course, Eugene, who was constantly dragged around by Valentine, was becoming a regular as well."Oh! Angel!" Don Luciano exclaimed joyfully, raising both hands as they entered the restaurant. Valentine bowed at the waist to receive kisses on both cheeks and returned the gesture. After greeting his grandson, Don Luciano immediately extended his hand toward Eugene. Having experienced this several times before, Eugene comfortably gave affectionate kisses to both cheeks of the mafia boss.Today, Don Luciano was accompanied by another elderly Italian man instead of his usual companion, lawyer Martino."It's been a while, Valentine," said the elderly man in an elegant and expensive suit with neatly combed-back gray hair, extending his hand toward Valentine.

"So that's how it is," Don Colvino said to Don Luciano. Luciano, the chairman of the mafia council with authority to issue orders to the candy shop, nodded."Then I'll leave the handling to you," Don Colvino said to Valentine. Valentine's eyes, which had been busy molesting Eugene under the table by pressing his foot or fondling his thigh, flashed subtly upon hearing those words. Eugene swallowed dryly after seeing that fleeting glint. Whenever he saw that look, he was reminded anew: this man is a ruthless contract killer."The method?" Valentine asked."It would be best to make an example of him to tighten up the lax discipline," Don Colvino replied.In other words, execute him as an example and leave the body for others to see."Then I'll send Brain," Valentine designated Doni, also known as Brain, as the executioner. The two bosses nodded, and the matter was settled.As soon as that conversation ended, the two bosses moved on to other topics. Mario also immediately joined in, havin

Chapter 19

Hey.It was the greeting Valentine always gave to Eugene. In the morning when they met at work, or whenever they met again after being apart for even a short while, he would always whisper softly near Eugene's ear. Hey.It wasn't a particularly polite way to greet or address someone. But that short greeting Valentine gave to Eugene, how should one describe it... The gentle voice that seeped into his ears seemed to quietly stir his chest and spread throughout his body, creating a unique resonance. Especially in that short address, there was a strong sense of familiarity that confused Eugene."You're going to be my consigliere. No boss treats his consigliere carelessly. I thought I was always respecting you?"After saying that much, Valentine asked:"Tell me. Have I ever treated you without courtesy?"Eugene was momentarily at a loss for words. Or rather, he had so much to say that he couldn't speak.Was it respectful and courteous to threaten him with a gun and make him perform oral se

The next morning.Eugene arrived at the candy store in Leo's car and stood at the entrance for a moment, catching his breath. After what happened yesterday, facing Claudio was a big burden. But he couldn't avoid it.Eugene took a deep breath and pushed the door. A clear bell sound rang.Stepping into the store, Eugene hesitated momentarily. There was an unfamiliar man inside. He appeared to be an Italian man in his late twenties. He glanced at Eugene and Leo before turning toward the counter. Jo was standing at the counter, perhaps having come out after checking the security camera to confirm a customer had arrived.They couldn't open the hidden back room door while a customer was watching. Eugene stood next to the colorful candy display, pretending to be a customer while glancing at the counter. The item the man placed on the counter for payment was a single small candy.After confirming the customer had left, Eugene opened the back room door and went inside."Yo."Doni gave a short
