Chapter 13 - The Morningstar

"I see you're awake-"

"Mmph! Mmph!"

"What? You've never seen a pen knife before? Don't worry, this is new and I had not used it on someone else yet."

"Mmmph!"

It was not that Papi had not seen a pen knife before. It was just that for some reason, this pen knife that Harry was holding looked very menacing and is especially sharp. It was kind of like the one doctors use for surgery, or in another word, his ticket to hell.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional at this...but of course, sometimes accidents are inevitable so I'm thinking that we start with the most important one. Fortunately, the most important one is also the least lethal, so don't worry..."

With that said, Harry turned around and pick up a razor. He walked towards Papi with a mischievous smile as if he had finally achieved his goal.

Papi was incredibly confused when he saw the razor and that made him even more anxious.

"This is kinda regretful, but forgive me."

"Mmph! Mmph!"

Papi was shouting for Harry to stop, although he didn't knew what Harry was aiming for from shaving his head. One thing for sure was that Papi knew that it won't just be a simple shave as Harry himself had said it, he was going to make him throughly suffer.

By now Papi had realise one thing and it was that his new hairstyle was the reason that Harry was angry. At first he thought that it might be the triplets getting angry at him for using them as a foothold for his fame. But it was not. Papi was even more confused because why would Harry be angry at him for having that hairstyle when he was the one that had cut his hair for him.

"MMMPPHH!!!"

Harry then went ahead and shave Papi's head. You might be wondering why Papi was screaming. Was it because he really loved his hair? No. Papi wouldn't mind if getting his hair shaved would calm Harry's anger, but what was making him scream was the fact that Harry shaved his hair without using any shaver cream.

As Harry started shaving Papi's hair, blood started seeping out from his scalp. It was so painful that Papi started crying and screaming even loudlier but that didn't make Harry stop. Harry just kept on going, shaving his hair while smiling like a lunatic. Yes, he might really just be a lunatic.

Harry might look very stupid outside, like how he always went on drama mode, adding sound effects to every sentence he said but mind you, he only started doing so when he first met Papi. From everyone else's experience, Harry was a very cold and heartless man.

As Papi started shouting and struggling even more vigorously, Harry started to laugh like a maniac. He was laughing so loudly that anyone that pass by Papi's house would have heard it, but unfortunately, Papi was tied in his basement and it was as soundproof as one could aspect from a love hotel.

"HAHHAHAHAHAHH!!! That's it! That's it!... Isn't this the greatest revenge?!..."

Papi was in so much pain that he didn't have time to ponder how his hair could make Harry so angry. But in the middle of his maniacally laughter...Harry actually started to shed tears. Although he was laughing like mad, but a lot of sadness could be felt from his laughters too...

"HAHAHAA!!...HA...ha...hah..."

Eventually he began to stop laughing, as he started sobbing and then completely stopped shaving.

"Why...Why!...WHY!!!! I really didn't want to do this...but why!! Why do you have to betray my heart like that!!"

Although Papi was still screaming in pain, but he could clearly hear what Harry was saying.

"I loved you Papi! I admired you! You are my Lord!! My friend!!.. But...just because of the little fame you had...why do you have to take me for granted..."

As Harry said the last line, he started feeling the anger boiling in his heart.

"Do you know how you got so popular?! It was because of me! It was because I had seen your beauty when other's didn't! I AM THE ONE THAT HAD MADE YOU POPULAR! I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD CHANGED YOUR HAIRSTYLE!...but in the end...you only took me for granted...you didn't even appreciate me...YOU DIDN"T EVEN THANK ME!!"

By then, Papi had realised the actual reason for Harry to be so mad. It was because Harry felt that he wasn't appreciated.

"ALL I WANTED WAS A SIMPLE APPRECIATION FROM YOU!! ALL I WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO BE GRATEFUL....I wouldn't care if you were more popular and loved by more girls. In fact...In fact I was happy for you!!"

For such a petty reason. Harry got angry at Papi for such a stupid yet petty reason...But to be honest, that's what made him such a simple person. He loved Papi...He loved him as a friend and all he wanted was a simple appreciation. He was truly a psycho, befitting of his title as one of the most vicious and gruesome one in the Big Four family of class C.

With that, Harry continued to shave Papi's head as he laugh maniacally. Blood continued to come out from the cuts and eventually mix I with Papi's tears, making him looked like he had shed tears of blood.

After a few minutes of gruesome shaving, Harry was finally done. Papi was now bold, with blood all over his head and face. But Harry was not done yet...

"Hahahah....How I wish I could have make you suffer more...How I wish I could have make you be even more in pain..If only your mother was here to see...wait, isn't that a great idea?"

By now, Papi was half conscious. He could not really understand what Harry was saying but he was still able to hear him.

"Why don't I video call your mom? Hahahh...HAHAHAHHA!!!"

Harry then went ahead and took Papi's phone from where he had left on the floor and video called Papi's mom.

[Hello? What's up Papi?]

"Ohh hey auntie~! This is Harry, Bugsy's good friend~!"

[Ohh...hello? Why is Papi's phone with you?]

"Ohh you know, we were just having a sleepover and we played some games together~!"

[That's nice, I'm so glad that Papi had made friends-]

"Oh hey auntie~ Do you wanna see what we were playing up until now?"

[Well that would be lovely-]

"Alright then~ Here you go~!"

Harry then turned the selfie camera towards Papi and when Papi's mom saw the state that Papi was in, she went crazy!

[KYAAAKK!! PAPI!! WHAT HAPPENED PAPI!!]

"Doesn't he looked cool auntie? In fact, I was only giving his punishment for-"

[WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO PAPI! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!]

"Why are you so mad auntie~? We were just playing and since he had cheated, he deserve his punishment-"

[SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR FAMILY TILL THE VERY LAST OF YOUR BLOODLINE]

"Ohh is that so? Then, to make it easier for you...My real family name is... Letifer."

Letifer.. One of the Mafia family that was known for their gruesomeness. In fact, their prowess are so strong that they were mostly involved In war between other family as hired killer or mercenary.

Although they were powerful, they were still not In class A. The reason that they were not in the class A was because they were so into war and fights that they do not put any focus on making money. Of course, money was still a by product from providing their service, but they were primarily just a family that consisted of the most brutal gangsters.

[...]

For a few seconds there, Papi's mother was just quiet and it made Harry a little confused. Then after the moment of silent, Papi's mother finally spoken.

[I, Karla Nostra, as the wife of the late Wayne Bugsy, the leader of the Morningstar's family, command all members of the Morningstar's family to hunt down all of the members of the Letifer family. Kill code, emergency.]

At the same time as Karla Nostra set out the kill order, all members of the Morningstar's family set out immediately. Some that were in the neighbourhood of slums set out immediately with the new kill order and some that were already on a mission, immediately bailed their current mission and went for the hunt.

(Somewhere in the world, in a mansion)

"Mr-Mr. Morningstar..? Is there anything that doesn't appeal to you?"

"Hmm, its alright."

Then came a young looking girl in a very formal waitress outfit came, bringing wine to the table where the two were sitting.

"Lord Letifer...here's your wine-"

*slap*

"What are you doing giving me the wine first! Didn't you see that we have a guest here?!"

"I-I'm sorry!!"

*bzzzt...bzzzt*

"Mr-Mr. Morningstar...I'm very sorry about this one's attitude..."

When the man called Mr. Morningstar looked down at his phone...a smirk surfaced his face...

"Ahahhaha...."

"..Mr. Morningstar..?"

"What a coincidence it is, Mr. Letifer..."

(back at Papi's home)

"Mo-Morningstar's family..?"

Although Papi was still conscious, but he couldn't understand a single word Harry was saying but he did know that Harry had called his mom.

"HAHAHAHHAHA!!!.....Wh-Who would have known...bu-but since I had already led my family to hell, mi-might as well bring your son along with me!!"

Right after Harry said that, he took the pen knife that he first took out and stab into Papi's eyes.

[NOOOOO!!!]

Right as the pen knife was only a few millimetre away from Papi's eyes... everything bacame dark for Papi before his vision came back again.

"AAAHHHH!!!!"

*pant...pant...*

"Papi?! I'm sorry!! I didn't know you would be upset that we were hanging out-"

"My Lord! Why are you screaming so suddenly?!"

Haa...ha...Huh? Why am I here....What is this....Wasn't I suppose to be...Did I just time leaped?

Yes, Papi had just time leaped. He was back to the time right before he found the first note. It was currently right after the lunch break, and soon, he would discovered the first note. After regaining his composure, Papi had finally came to himself and could make a proper analysis of what the hell happened.

First, he realised that he had time leap to the current timeline, because the current timeline was the time when he first felt immense fear. It was the time where he had received the most shock, that would soon bring him more events that he would continue to be fearful of.

Second was that, his time leaped power was not limited to having someone fear him to the peak, but he was also able to leap whenever someone felt fear for him like how his mother did. He was able to make a conclusion that his mother must have been very afraid when she saw him almost being killed, hence he time leaped. But now...

What should I do...?

Looking at Harry that was standing in front of him, he had conflicted feelings. He felt rage burning in his soul, yet he also felt pity from the bottom of his heart. He realise that Harry was only seeking for appreciation from his friend, and would only go mad after feeling that he was not appreciated.

Yes, Harry was a crazy one and no one would be able to accept him for who he is...But...is there any one person in this school that is sane? The answer is no...Not everyone in the world could forgive Harry for what he would do in the future, but for some reason, Papi could find it in him to do so. With that being said...

"Hey Harry...Thank you."

"Wh-Wh-What are you talking about my Lord?!"

"It is thanks to you that I was starting to receive attention from the girls. It was because of you, I became the sudden hot stuff-"

"My-My Lord!"

"Truly Harry, from the bottom of my heart... thank you for reaching out to me..Thank for being my friend..."

*sob*

"My-My Lord...I'm sorry...Wahhhhh!!!"

Harry started crying after hearing what Papi said. He was truly happy and glad that he Papi appreciated him, but then he began to feel the guilt of wanting to hurt Papi...

"My..Lord..."

He was really angry at himself for wanting to hurt Papi just because he felt that he wasn't appreciated, and as such...

"Bella, My Lord, look behind you!"

"Hmm?"

When Papi and Bella turned around, Harry quickly shoved his hand into Papi's drawer and took out the note. But Papi had seen it at the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he heave a sigh of relieved.

"Uhhh~ Why did I just pull a prank on my Lord~! Oh punish me for I have sinned!"

"Hahaha!! The darkness in my soul is now enraged with anger for being deceived~! As a punishment, I shall shave your hair~!!"

"Kyaaakk!! Not the hair!!"
