CHAPTER 5
Being a Mafia member entails doing dirty business and getting your hands dirty with illegal activities such as drug trafficking, shark lending, gambling, and even murder.
Luther, on the other hand, has a different plan. Luther devised a strategy to deal with them based on the information he obtained from Kheed and the perfect plan devised by Lucas. He devastates both parties' intended product exchange by hijacking their goods, giving the impression that both parties are cheating on each other. He was acquiring high-end goods and drugs that he could sell and export without spending a dime. His so-called mafia organization is rising to the top without much effort, and That's how he goes about his dirty business.
"I'm off to the north, tell K he can go ahead with the final blow," Luther said as he removed his black cap aboard the big cargo truck with express delivery on it, grinning widely because of their successful product acquisition.
" Copy," said Lucas on the other end of the line before the young man hung up and removed the prosthetic mask he was wearing to reveal his true and very handsome face.
This is one of the young man's abilities that ensures the success of all their plans. He can pretend, change his demeanor, and even his voice using a voice changer, which is one of their company's in-development products. Nothing like this has yet been released on the market. Only he has and can use this item.
He drove fast and transfer the still-warm cargo they just stealed putting them on a safe place where they planned to keep it hidden. It was in the middle of the forest hiding underneath the big tree that you wouldn't think that there is a huge warehouse underneath. It is also near where the party was held so it was easy for Luther to transfer all the items inside before his enemies knew about it.
Sneering, he drove the truck he was riding into where they had wanted to conceal the taken products. Additionally, a black Lamborghini is waiting for him at the location to divert the robbery suspect.
He changes his clothes and burn the evidence. He quickly hop into the car waiting for him and drove where he supposed to finish their mission.
After switching cars, he lit up a cigarette thinking of another huge success on his organization. He is one step closer, he knew he was. Just a little but more he can start working on his revenge.
While driving along the street near the location where he was compelled to attend a gathering and shop for a future modelhe shook his head to forget that past that's annoying him when he had heard a crash in front of his car.
He came to a halt for a moment, thinking it might have been a cat or a dog that had been run over. However, the noise was too loud for an animal. Still thinking about their ongoing operation, the young man was about to restart the engine, He couldn't bear the thought of abandoning the animal that had been run over in the middle of the street.
The young man also has a dog and his conscience is taking over him. After putting on the cap, the young man exited the car only to discover that it was pouring heavily. Setting aside the weather, He took a quick look at the car's bumper and was taken aback by what he saw.
He does not run over an animal, but rather a person. His Head, face, and body are all covered in blood.
The young man could not avoid falling to the ground at the same time that the past was quickly shown to him, causing him to suffocate from the sight of blood all over the road. He saw the things that often happened in his dreams again and again.
The young man fumbled around until he grabbed hold of his car's bumper, his eyes clouded and he was struggling to catch his breath. There, he tried to calm himself.
He couldn't be like this during their operation. He must act and leave this location as soon as possible.
The young man forced himself to look back at the person lying on the road, still exhausted and trying to catch his breath.
Due to the darkness, the young man was surprised to encounter people. The young man was perplexed as to what had transpired because there was no one in the area and the lights were the same.
To determine if the person lying on the road was still alive, he approached it slowly when the man opened his eyes, Hey--" He called out to him, but his eyes were closed completely and didn't respond. The young man was about to call him once more when he heard his phone ringing.
He took a sharp exhale to settle down, then went back to the car to get his phone and got out, watching the person who had been hit while answering the question, "What is it?"
"Lopez has ordered his people to go after anyone who leaves the premises; where are you? Have you reached the route?" his friend asked while he was still looking at the unconscious person. "Shit!" the young man exclaimed slowly, "Why? Is there a problem?"
This is indeed a problem for him. He couldn't leave the person in this condition, but he had to leave the place as well. He only has a matter of minutes or his secrets will be exposed.
The young man inhaled deeply and tried to think. "I'll explain later," he said as he examined the condition of the person who had been run over. "They just left, and don't worry, I'm still monitoring their every move. And about K, he is still at the party doing his final job---"
"Fuck!" the young man cuss weakly but the other person heard, "Why Midnight? Is there really a problem?" it inquired, concerned.
What he saw had a profound impact on the young man's face; it had not only run over a person, but a woman! When it appeared in front of him, he mistook her hair for cloth because of the thickness and blackness of it. Worst of all, he collided with a student. He recognized her uniform because he had once walked into his school to judge a completely meaningless competition. "Hey, Luth—-!"
"Call you later," he quickly disconnected the call before looking at the girl.
He could've just leave the girl and carry on with their plan, but every time he looked at her, he couldn't help but think about what happened to his parents. He took a deep breath before carrying the girl's bloody body to the car he was riding in. He checked to see if she was still alive and breathing, then dashed back to the front of the car where her blood was splattered. He quickly sprayed the road with hydrofluoric acid to dissolve the blood and mixed with rain, leaving no trace behind.
If Lopez's men see it, they will undoubtedly be more interested in the identity of the blood. With their power and the girl in his hands, they will easily connect everything, putting him in danger.
He immediately got into the car and drove it to the end location. The young man returned his gaze to the young woman and took a minute to feel her pulse. Still alive.
Their plan was about to succeed; this should never happen. Damn! He had calculated everything, but he never expected this to happen. Shaking his head, the young man wasn't sure if the girl would make it to the hospital, and he couldn't abandon their operation just to get it treated. His top priority remains their mission.
He sigh feeling guilty of having to take ones life when he received another call from Lucas, "what happened? I saw bloodmarks from where you've been," he shook his head and continued driving. " Fvck! Did it not mixed in?"
" It did but you left tiny evidence but don't worry, I have clean the mess." Lucas answered," but you haven't told me what had happened "
"I told you I'll explain—-" he was about end the call when he remembered something. "Could you send me a doctor?" Lucas asked, perplexed. "What? Why? What for?"
" I'll explain later. I need a doctor. A reliable one. " He said before hanging up. He can't risk exposing his hidden activities, but he also can't ignore the girl. This is the only way he could think of helping her.
He went to the their base and carefully unload the girl from the car. He looked at his watch seeing he only has an hour to finish their mission.
The two he had been expecting arrived only a few moments later. "Yow dude, girls are dying for my face but your face was damn! its like a women magnet! I cant even breathe for how they wanted to get near and touch me!" Kheed exclaimed as he removed the same prosthetic mask Luther had been wearing to impersonate a delivery rider.
This is who disguised himself as Luther in order for the young man to carry out the theft without anyone suspecting him; this is what they frequently do, causing their rank to rise quickly in the mafia world without anyone suspecting that he is behind this group.
"Ah, perhaps that's why he says many women are obsessed with him, he was using your face," Lucas teased as Kheed entered. "No way, it would be a waste if I just hid my handsomeness behind this mask," Kheed said, complimenting himself when he heard their leader's voice.
"About that, I can't let him know this place, we better leave this place as soon as possible if you want one, he's one of my trusted people but I can't take the risk," Lucas replied, giving the young man another problem.
"Why, boss? are you hurt? that's a first, he's never had an injury---oh my...." Kheed was about to say more when he saw bloods scattered on the floor and saw the bloodied body of a woman lying unconscious.
