Synopsis
It tells of a successful businessman who is required to become a mafia leader because of a will from his stepfather. His stepfather told him to become a leader because he already knew his leadership skills and soul. So, he chose his stepson over his biological son to continue his work. However, his stepson, Kalvin Anggara, refused the offer and did not want to become the leader of his organisation. Kalvin had rejected his stepfather's offer since his stepfather was still alive. But until now, even when his stepfather passed away and left a will for him, he still refused the request from his stepfather, which was made through a choice. Due to frustration and continued harassment from his stepfather's subordinates, he finally accepted the offer from the will, became a leader of the mafia, and continued his stepfather's messy job. But just as he was about to start, he ordered his underlings to burn down his neighbour's house. He becomes a mafia leader strangely and is not understood by his subordinates.

Chapter 1 - The Letter

"An ambulance... Quickly call an ambulance!"

They were in a hurry to bring over an older man. He was seriously injured in his chest.

"We must immediately perform first aid!"

"Hey, Jeki, Juki, take off the father's clothes now!"

The two men, Jeki and Juki, undressed the older man. They were fast, but their hands were dirty and covered in the older man's blood.

"I've undressed him!"

Jeki and Juki step aside after successfully undressing the father.

"Arrghh..."

The older man, known as the Father, endured the pain in his chest. He lay down because of the five bullets in his chest. He knew that there was a bullet stuck right in his heart. He could feel the pain of being on the edge of death.

"Tony... fetch the letter I left on my desk! Hurry up!"

He ordered one of his subordinates to take something into his room. The subordinate quickly rushed and ran to retrieve it. He ran through his uneasiness and saw several people already lying around.

"Anton... Dylan..."

He could not hold back his tears when he saw his two friends had died. He passed them carefully so as not to step on their bodies.

After making it through the bodies of his friends, he opened the door and entered the father's room.

He saw holes in the walls, shattered glass, shattered items, and a messy interior. The previous shootout occurred in the room, resulting in the father's injury.

He approached the father's desk, opened the desk box, and got a letter.

"This is the letter. I think this is a secret letter. Okay! I will deliver this."

He rushes out to meet the father and his friends and gives him the letter.

After arriving there, he gave the letter to the father. But the father gave the letter back to him.

"You keep it! Give it to that kid!"

"But, Father, isn't that man..."

He was very doubtful of the father's decision. He knew who the father meant. His doubts about the man had made him unsure of the decision made by his boss.

"Are you doubting it after seeing me like this?"

"Not at all, Father. It is just..."

"He always rejects all offers from me, but this time, I want you to be able to invite him. All this time, I never wanted to negotiate with him. I always forced him to become a mobster. That had made him even more stubborn. That's why he always refuses my offers. But now, I'm sure he's willing to join in and take my place. I'm counting on you so much, Tony! You are the most loyal subordinate that I have. I'm sure you can! This is my order for the last time. I beg you… Only he can take care of you and this organisation."

The father knows what will happen if no one replaces him. If he chose the wrong person, his subordinates would suffer, and in the end, his organisation would destroy and disappear. There was no longer any place for his subordinates to take shelter. There is no longer a place to share their joys and sorrows. There is no longer any place to live them. This is the only choice. So, here's the choice, telling Tony to negotiate and discuss with the man.

The man was his stepson, whom he had not seen for a long time. He is the hope for the organisation owned by the father. He is a light for the father. Even if the father had three children, only he was trusted by him.

"Okay! I will give this letter to him. I will do my best to be able to negotiate with him."

Tony was sure of what he said. He knew that the father had been counting on him in this matter. He couldn't hesitate because of his distrust of the man.

The father was very happy to hear Tony's words. He smiled before finally closing his eyes.

They, who were left over from the other gang's attack, cried to each other when they saw the father closing his eyes. They have been cared for by the father all this time, but instead, they watched the father die in front of them. What the father has given them and the organisation is the most special in their lives. The father's departure is a painful thing in their lives. They didn't imagine this would happen.

"Father..."

A man can hold back his tears in front of many people. They recognise their soul as strong and must be patient with what they experience. But when their loved ones are gone, they will cry, and their tears are sincere. They could neither hide nor hold back their tears. All they could do was cry, cry, and keep crying.

Grief will always be in their hearts. The father has left them. Someone who has been there for them is now gone. They were cared for wholeheartedly by the father, but today, they witnessed the father's last breath in front of them.

The misfortune they experience is the risk of their work. They know they are the mafia, so their risk of being killed is absolute. But they did not expect that the father would be killed. It's their job to look after him. It is their responsibility. But they had been caught off guard by a seductive woman.

"An eye for an eye! Life must be paid for life!"

The ambulance came, and the father was taken to the hospital, but Tony decided to stay there. He walked over to a woman. The woman was sprawled in the living room. He took out his gun and pointed it at the woman.

And then...

BANG!

He fired one shot. He shot the woman in the forehead, killing her.

"I have let my guard down. As a result of my negligence to this bitch, the person who had been taking care of me died. If only I knew this bitch brought her friends... If only I knew they ambushed this place... If only I hadn't been late... None of this would have happened. Father will not leave us like this. This is all my fault! Forgive me!"

He thought of following the father by killing himself, so his guilt in this world would disappear with his body. But looking back at the letter he was holding, he decided not to do that. He realised there was still one order the father had given him: to provide the letter and negotiate with the father's stepson.

It was the last assignment he gave, so he had to carry it out, deciding to commit suicide.

He turned around, put on his coat and hat, and walked away.

"This is my last assignment. I have to finish this!"
