Mattheus Dante, one of the trusted employees of the Verdugo family, was once said that escaping from enemies was just a plain plan for the weak individuals. He, himself, admitted that the person who was running away should just be left to die on the surface. As the [underboss], he must show a certain degree of a spectacular leadership infront of his colleagues. Bravery and courage should be his petite. Nothing can stand on his way unless he played his part as the sub-mob leader.

For the last two decades of living, he always dominated his enemies with fear and greeted them with pure evil. There were several times when he used his victims for his experiments and threw their bodies to the dump, letting it drown in the river. He, somehow, upgraded his business procedures by letting them become the meal of demon beasts. He enjoyed the scenery of the misery and despair coming from their faces.

But there was someone he delightedly wanted to surpass. It was his former boss, Lady Veronica Verdugo, the sole heir of the family. After the throne was passed down to her hands, everything’s changed a lot. Their territories flourished and increased the numbers of their villages. It became the reason of her infamous prestiges rose than her parents. She was cruel, ruthless and sometimes a bitch. She upholds nothing but her magic to be used for her own glory. With this kind of personality, he noticed it was his love at first fright. She was the first person he adored so much to the point he wanted to marry after he raped her.

That was the splendid ideas he kept to himself.

On the road, he rode the car towards the location of their camp. The stronghold he protected was now destroyed by a single man. He didn’t believe that the warning his acquaintance keep telling him became reality.

He kept dodging the upcoming attacks from Justin. The laughing stock was now in the verge of getting killed. From the beginning of their fight, he admitted he was not stronger than the crazy psychopathic butler. The only way to stay alive was an escape.

But the butler kept following his trails even though he was in the car. Just how long will he keep pestering his life by this madman? That was what he kept asking himself.

“Will you just stop followin’ me, please?” he begged, shooting more particle fire lasers towards the butler. “Just die already!”

“For a man called himself powerful. With your position as the underboss of your worthless family, do you feel no shame?” asked Justin, swaying away all of his attacks like pestering away some flies around his way. “Do you mind if I take your soul as my repayment for your kind treatment towards my beloved Don?”

“No, fuckin’ no!”

“Well, thank you.” Justin disappeared from the sky and appeared infront of his car. “Good die.” A single snap made the car blown. “Hmm?” He noticed that the person was still alive when he cast the magic to destroy the thing, however. “You’re still alive? You manage to escape from that trick, huh.”

Mattheus used his magic to cover himself but the result was his body starting to collapse from fatigue. It was the only way to survive. He held his damaged arm and knelt on one knee. His face and his mouth dripped some blood.

“Can’t believe this.” He clicked his tongue and turned his gaze at the butler. “You’re working for a bunch of loser. You’re powerful and can be on the match with the current Godfather. Why’re you still working as the butler of that annoying brat? He’s pathetic and mad individual and can be considered as a weakling. But why?”

“What?” Justin tilted his head with a terrifying gaze. “What did you call about my boss? A weakling…. Huh?” He kicked the face of the pitied underboss. His entire body flew away and hit the tree. Mattheus coughed blood from the impact. “How dare you say that to my beloved Don, huh? If anyone should be called as a weakling is, that’s fuckin’ you.” He appeared infront of him, grabbed his collar and gave him consecutive punches directly to his face.

He never stopped until his face became deformed. The butler, angrily, laughing at his victim.

“Hey,” Justin moved his face closer to Mattheus. “Is my boss weak or not?”

“H..e’s… weak.” replied the underboss. His answer made the butler gave him another punch. “Wrong. Answer. You fool. Let me repeat the same question. Again, is my boss weak, moron?”

“He’s…. ” he spits his blood to his face. “ Weak!”

“Oh,” Justin cleaned his face by the sleeves of his forearm, “You’re really a piece of shit, moron.” He repeatedly punched his face until he’s done. The moon appeared behind and the fire coming from the direction of the village had colored the sky. The butler dragged the body of his victim towards to his next location.

Meanwhile, there’s a room full of broken bricks and walls. The ceiling started to collapse and the floor was cracking into two. There were two people inside the place. It was none other than, the young Don and the beautiful blonde maid. On her lap, his head rested and she gently watching him over.

“Mr. Aljen,” she smiled at the unconscious man, “Please, wake up. I know now who you are.”

Looking at the body, she concluded that he was already exhausted from the torture he received earlier. So, she let him rested for now even the place was starting to get destroyed. She looked at the mask and she recalled something similarity to what she found on the mansion of her crush. She recalled the days when she was recruited by her master, Justin. She was not supposedly accepted but she insisted by putting a knife on the butler’s neck. This method of hers made Justin surprised and for some reason, he accepted her like normal. Those days were the joyous day of her life when she could sneak from behind inside her boss’ room and sniffed the briefs and snatched some potential important things like a toothbrush, used tissues and utensils.

She, surprised, discovered by the butler but for an unknown reason, he gave away his pictures of his beloved Don since childhood. “Looks like we have the same tastes and I’m happy to share some blessings for you, my dear,” said Justin, patting her shoulder like he found a comrade in arms.

From the morning, she always did her job as the maid of the mansion. And after night, she always sneaked inside the young Don’s room and slept together with him.

But from the night before the upcoming new year, she was discovered by her crush. She forgot that it was the new year and the young Don was still awake at that time. The young Don, petrified, asked her why she was there. With the maternal instinct of a true lover, she showed her knife at him not to be afraid of her that she came to sleep with him. This leads the young Don escape and after several hours, he was caught by her magic.

“Please,” she covered his entire body with her earth magic, “Please, don’t be afraid. I won’t harm you.”

“Gaaagh, you’re a despicable person,” the young Don, resisted, tried to break through, “Release me now, damn it!”

She shook her head and said, “I can’t. You’re going to escape again.”

“Why you?” Zairena covered his mouth by her hand, “Sssh, you’re making a loud noise. We won’t be able to hear the sounds of the fireworks that Mr. Justin preparing today.”

“Hmmm..” Zairena, sighed, released him. The young Don gulped some air and stepped away from the young blonde maid. “Who are you? I never heard ‘bout you?”

Zairena, surprised, started to shed some tears. “How could you? You don’t remember me? I’m your soulmate and the only childhood friend in the village.”

“Soulmate?” A knife stuck between his legs. “... You’re frightening me. Will you stop throwing those knives at me.”

“Sure, for now.” She licked her knife from the bottom to the edge. ” Anyways, do you remember me?”

“I do have a lot of acquaintance at the village especially those girls of the same age as me.” Another knife stuck between his legs in the same spot. “Stop that.”

“Oh, yes.” Zairena smiled with a terrifying gaze, “Yes, we do have some friends but don’t worry, they are living together with God.”

“What?”

“Now,” Zairena helped him to stand up, “Would you mind to stay with me?”

“No,” the young Don removed some dust from his butt, “I don’t want to. You terrifying bitch.”

“What did you say?” Her smile made him petrified. “Nothin’.”

When the young Don stepped forward, he stumbled by the rock and a smooth skin stuck on his mouth. The two exchanged glances and the blonde maid’s face turned red. She pushed him away and ran away from him.

“Noo, it is my first kiss!” she said, leaving him behind.

“If you don’t want that, then leave!”
