I would never forget the day I arrived here and started training. Living as a bad guy was never easy task, who would like to risking their lives and killing someone. But I didn't have any other choice or I thought it was the fastest way to achieve my goal so I chose this path. Ugly looking bald guy was looking at me with killing intention, only 5 minutes and he already broke my ribs. But I never thought about giving up or losing to him because I will die if I do that. After another 5 minutes our position changed and now I was punching him in the face without giving him any chance to standing up.
"go take care of your wound" I heard cold voice when I finished the match. Yes it was only match but much more cruel than any other match because now I'm currently residing at the ZIP, top tier underworld mercenary guild. All kind of hitmen, criminals and assassins gathered in this place. In the beginning my presence was like a rabbit with horn to them after full year I already blended here and became equal with them. In this place we must train until we couldn't move so that we can be professional when facing with the real mission.
Friends and emotions are the least needed thing in here because we might face each other in the real battlefield, we must be as hard as rock to win our opponents.
'Please just endure it Lilith' I begged from myself, I only left with one desire and it was breathing. This world is filled with bad people and I need to be worst to survive.
********
It's already been 5 years since Lilith came to this place, to her these 5 years was same as nightmare but she still endured it, until now her ambition to becoming powerful didn't even decrease. She got up from the ground and stretched her muscles. It was late October so without heater her room was little cold but she didn't even care about her living condition nor she couldn't complain about it.
Same black suit, same hairstyle and same expressionless face. She looked at the mirror and mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face. Obviously young lady's flawless face but to her this just feels ironic, she never liked her face. Her gaze turned into icy cold and remained that way, she pushed to open cold steel door and left without looking back.
When she was walking to the main building people bowed her to pay respect, tinge of fear was also seen in their eyes but she would ignore them as always. She stepped inside with strict face, everyone there who was sitting inside stood up simultaneously. Her not so hurried steps halted when she approached opposite side of the table.
This seat originally belonged to her adoptive father who was a leader of mafia. It's been 1 month since her adoptive father get into accident and passed away, Lilith was his only family and all of his properties passed to her including his position as a leader. No one dared to protest this decision because they know Lilith was someone who is more sinister and more scheming than their last leader. He didn't adopt her because of her beautiful face or amazing fighting ability, she was chosen because of her ambitious and cunning mind.
She was only twenty years old but her name alone could send shiver down to bigshots of underworld. When her father brought her back to be next heir she faced a lot of oppression. So she challenged every single one who denied her position. In the end she proved herself and shoved them what was true power. Leaders of the bigger gangs' acknowledged her and she finally obtained the seat of the heir through blood splattered path.
In Europe and America her reputation was known as a businesswoman. 'Gallo group' was founded by her adoptive father to hide his identity when he was younger but this slightly known international group reached to the new height because of her leadership. If you underestimate her then that moment would be start of your downfall because behind her pretty and delicate face, vicious brain was hiding, she can make you suffer without your knowledge. So everyone was wary of her.
Once she sit down on her seat silence filled the room, she looked at the twenty three people who is sitting at the same table. They were much older than her, but her piercing gaze easily subdued them without effort. They were all battle hardened and bloody handed mafia's higher-ups yet they were shivering under this young lady's gaze was something unexpected if outsiders known about.
"only one thing changed" she opened her mouth, everyone started to pay extra attention to her and tried not to miss a single word from her, she satisfied with their reaction and continued her words "my seat in this room, every other thing will remain the same, but I will expand our legit business to Asia, I was already planning this when my father was alive. You all know how much that old man loved this idea so I don't want to postpone it" she declared and ordered necessary things to them which lasted for two hours meeting.
She was strict boss when it comes to underworld affairs but she was also very clever leader for those who followed her. It was known fact for those who worked with her, so in the ending of the long meeting everyone come out with satisfied hearts.
