Chapter 42 - The Upset Mafia Boss

Marion and Petra created a hole on the roof without a sound and then jumped down silently. The atmosphere inside the mansion was very quiet. Marion opened her cellphone and observed the red dot on the screen. She quietly gave a signal to Petra to follow her.

They crossed the hall on the 3rd floor of the mansion, descended the stairs, and followed the dot on her cellphone to find Larkin. Several days ago when Marion met Larkin for the first time, she secretly placed a tiny tracker in the mafia's suit.

That's what she now used to track Larkin's whereabouts. The tracker on Marion's cellphone led them into a huge room at the end of the hall on the 2nd floor. Using a thief's key that he always carried everywhere, Petra opened the door of the room.

With steps as light as a cat, they walked in and sneaked closer to a large 4-poster bed overlooking a high floor-to-ceiling window. They found the person they were looking for lying in bed in the arms of two women.

Marion took out the pistol with silencer she was carrying from under her clothes, then aimed it at Larkin's forehead. The sound of the gun being cocked and the cold feeling on his forehead from the gun's muzzle surprised Larkin. He reflexively opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

As a mafia who had been in the underworld for a long time, he had a high level of vigilance, so that Marion did not need to try hard to wake him. Larkin awoke immediately when he felt the tip of the gun pressed against his forehead.

"You ... You? What are you doing here? I don't owe you anymore ...!"

Larkin hurriedly got up from his sleeping position, and his hands moved quickly, he wanted to grab the gun on the table next to his bed. However, Marion was faster. She had got rid of the gun and now pointed it at the woman next to Larkin.

"If you don't do anything stupid, no one will die tonight," Marion said in an icy voice. She gave a signal to Petra, and her friend walked closer.

Larkin was surprised to see someone else in his room besides Marion. He was furious because his men were so incompetent that these two intruders could break into his mansion so easily.

He was determined to give them proper punishment once he could find them.

"Get up," Marion said. "I need your help."

Larkin looked at the girl with blazing eyes. It was obvious that he was outraged. However, right now, his position was weak because he was held at gunpoint. The two women who slept with him had now woken up too and their faces were filled with horror.

The woman on Larkin's left wanted to scream, but before her voice came out, Larkin had covered her mouth. Now the woman could only cry silently with tears welling up. She was trying hard to hold back so that her voice would not come out.

"How did you find my place?" Larkin asked in annoyance. "Are you spying on me?"

"It's none of your business if I want to spy on you or not. What is clear, now you must listen to what I have to say if you still want to live to see tomorrow," Marion said.

She then signaled Petra. The man immediately took over her position threatening Larkin and the two women who were lying beside him.

Marion quickly moved to secure the whole room and ensured there were no traps or secret weapons. After she was satisfied, Marion then sat on the sofa, crossing her legs.

Her attitude looked very elegant. However, up close, one could see that her expression was so cold and ruthless. She then forked a few pills out of her pocket and threw them on the bed.

"Take the pill now. Otherwise, my friend here will not hesitate to splatter your brain out of your head," Marion said. "You know, we haven't killed people in a long time. As someone who has been in the underworld, you must know what it's like ... for people who are used to killing like us. Sometimes the desire to kill is there. We just need an excuse. Right now, my mood is horrible. Don't give me a reason to take your life tonight."

Larkin looked at the 3 pills on his blanket, only a few inches from his hand. He was actually agitated to be in such a position. He still remembered how Marion forced him to take a pill a few days ago that gave his penis erectile dysfunction as a punishment for pestering Marie, Nicolae's woman.

He did not know what was in the pill Marion had thrown at him just now. It must have been as bad as or even worse than the previous pill.

"I don't want to," said the man in an annoyed voice. "You can't make me."

"Oh yeah? Really?" said Marion, smirking. She waved her right hand and Petra immediately pulled the trigger of his gun and killed the woman on Larkin's right mercilessly.

Blood and brain splattered on Larkin's face and upper body. His eyes went round in shock. He did not expect this man could easily kill a woman in cold blood.

The woman on Larkin's left became hysterical. She screamed and wailed in fear.

"If you can't keep her quiet, then she will suffer the same fate as her friend," Marion said in a cold voice.

Larkin immediately covered the woman's mouth so as not to make a sound. The woman struggled to hold back her sobs and tears. She was terrified that she would provoke the two evil intruders.

The atmosphere was very tense. Larkin's upper body felt sticky and disgusting because it was covered in blood and brain, while the dead woman's head no longer resembled a head.

Larkin knew that these two people were not ones he could fool around. Eventually, he took Marion's pill and swallowed it. He handed over the other one and then forced the girl next to him to swallow the same pill.

After Marion was satisfied to see the two people swallow her pill, she rose from the couch and approached them.

"Good. Now, put on your clothes and come with us to the living room," she said.

Larkin and the girl looked at each other. They had no choice but to follow Marion's orders. In a hurry, the two then got dressed and got out of bed.

They were forced to walk toward the door, while Marion and Petra put a gun on their backs. Both of them were forced to go down to the large living room on the 1st floor.

"What exactly did you give me?" Larkin asked as they arrived at the doorway to his living room. He turned to look at Marion, asking for an explanation.

"It's poison," Marion said. "You will die in three days if you don't get an antidote from me."

Larkin and the woman gasped in unison.

"So, if you still want to live, you must do everything I order you to. Right now, I need help from all men you have all over France."

Larkin frowned when he heard Marion's words. He immediately thought of the terror attack on the Eiffel Tower a few hours ago. For some reason, he began to suspect that the incident had something to do with Marion's sudden visit.

He could only shut his mouth and follow the woman's orders to enter his living room. There, he turned on the light and sat in his big chair.

"What should I do?" Larkin asked, looking at Marion.

"Call all your men here. Hurry up," Marion said.

Larkin was very upset and resentful because this young girl just ordered him around. However, he was forced to do it because he wanted to live. Later, after he got the antidote, he would make sure this damned girl received his payback.

Larkin dialed his phone and called his trusted aides to gather his men in the living room of his mansion.
