"So Mr Winston I hope you didn't have any trouble reaching here?"Dang lee said while pouring whisky in the glass.

" Not at all Mr Lee, except some beautiful women from your town trying to distract me with their beauty", Winston said sarcastically.

Dang lee chucked and his golden teeth appeared. He offers one glass to Winston and holds the other in his left hand while saying,

"You have a great sense of humour Mr Winston".

Winston take a glass from his hand and said,

"I'm just telling the truth. Have you ever noticed Mr Lee truth is the funniest thing in the world? People often laugh at the truth like it's a joke".

Dang lee looked at Winston while taking a sip from his drink. He was also wearing a suit except it was blue and seemed quite expensive. He has white hair and a very small white beard. He looks like he is about to reach his sixty.

"They suppose to, otherwise how will they keep doing what they are supposed to do?"Dang Lee said, looking at Winston.

"Hmm, A system's way to maintain a system, It exists until they think that they are free. Anyway, Mr Lee, let's talk business", Winston said while taking a sip from his glass and putting it on a table.

Mr Lee's face become a little serious and he said,

"I am tired of this fucking Europeans, they think that they are better than us. I hate their white arrogance".

Winston keeps looking at him while he says everything and keeps calm in a way that seems like he is listening to him seriously.

"They are trying to destroy my businesses in Europe. They have support from the underworld, and to fight I need a man like you", he continued.

Winston didn't say anything for a few seconds, he just kept looking at him while Lee grabbed his glass from the table and drank another sip. Winston lean forward and said,

"And what do you propose then?".

Lee puts his glass down on the table, he stops for a moment to think about something and then caressed his tongue over his lips making it wet with his spit, and said,

"I don't want to stop. I want to fight back, they threaten my business and now I want to fuck theirs".

" Have you any idea Mr Lee, what you're talking about? What you are saying it means a bloodbath", Winston said while looking into Lee's eyes.

"I don't care about it, Winston. It's about self-respect. I need to give back this pain to them. They need to understand that they can't just cross me like that and get away with it", he sighed, and leaned back on his chair.

A beautiful woman comes from behind, for a moment Winston couldn't help but keep looking at her. She comes closer to Lee and put her hand on his shoulder, he turns to look at her,

" Ahh, Mr Winston, meet my lovely wife Fiona", he said while holding her hand and looking towards Winston.

"Hello", Winston said looking at her, she was extremely beautiful and had a very young and innocent face. Winston couldn't help but think about what she was doing with a man like Lee.

Moon was all set up, and Winston was lost in his memories looking towards the vast forest. Cupid comes from behind, and with the noise of his breath Winston wakes up from his memories.

"How long are you going to stay here? Moon has already set up", Cupid said.

"I was about to get back,'' Winston replied while getting up and cleaning the leaves and the dust from his pants.

"I am going to the border", Cupid said while looking at Winston.

Winston looked at him and came closer to him, and said,

"Don't cross the border, do all the exchanges there only. And if you find any problem come straight back to me".

"Okay, I will", Cupid said in an assuring voice.

Cupid, along with four others, was walking on a footpath in the jungle. One of them was carrying a wooden box in his hand. They were going towards the border to exchange humans from their side with encryption from here.

They reached the border at a given time but they are still not here. Cupid and his mates kept waiting on their sides, but there was no sign of animals from the other side. Cupid felt frustrated as time passed.

"What the fuck! How much longer these idiots are going to make us wait?", he shouted in frustration.

"We need to go and take a look from another side", he said looking at his mate. And everyone felt afraid, one of them said,

"I don't think that's a good idea, we should go back. I am not having a good feeling about it".

Everyone around seems to agree with him, but Cupid looked at them with anger and said,

"What are you talking about? We cannot go without trading".

Everyone fell silent and started looking at each other. Noticing their fear, cupid moved ahead and said,

" Look, I know you are afraid and it's quite risky there. But we need to take that risk. We are not in the position where we can go back empty-handed".

Everyone again looked at each other, and through their eyes, it seemed like they had reached some conclusion.

"Okay", one said and the other waved their heads in the affirmative.

John and Albert gathered around thirty animals of different kinds. They tied a mystical rope around their neck, which was given by Mongrel. This rope has a special quality that once it is tied to someone he starts following the orders of the person who tied that rope, in short, it makes you his slave.

"It's that it?", Albert asked John

"I think so,'' John replied.

Albert took a look at the animals, and the animals were looking at him like they were extremely intoxicated. Their eyes were looking like a drunken man who lives to drink.

Albert was about to turn back but something cross his mind and he stops, he looked at the soldier who was standing at some distance from him and asked him to come closer with a hand, and said,

"Go and take one more look, that anyone might be left behind?".

The soldier starts running towards the bushes where this animal lives. John comes closer to the tiger who has a rope around his neck, and an arrow stuck in his leg.

John sat on his knees and removed that arrow from his leg, the tiger grumbled with pain, and then looked at John with thankful eyes. John stands up and walks towards Albert. He stands beside Albert and said,

"I don't like doing this to the animals".

Albert looked at him without saying anything.

"Is Mongrel going to kill them all now?", he continued with anger.

Albert sighed and put his hand on his shoulder, caressed it, and said,

"We all have to play our little role, whether we like it or not. That's the way everything works. It's called balancing the system".

John looked at Albert with disagreement, and said,

" No, it's called being a faithful servant to a powerful".

Albert didn't say anything but kept staring at his eye. It's not the first time that they argued about this. They have done it before many times and he knows how this conversation will end.

"Let's just do our job and get back to our home", Albert said, trying to change the topic.

John looked at him, he was a kind of emotional person. He felt bad about the animals and killing. It would be interesting to know how a man like him ended up in hell. Who has such compassion for others, who drafted this rule where a man like John has to suffer through this? Any sane mind would raise such questions.
