Different types of police officers were present in the hall for the award-giving ceremony, including agents and detectives.

The hall was filled with many of them, all wearing their white uniforms with medals on.

Commissioner Emily stood on a pulpit with a speaker at his mouth.

"Welcome, everyone."

Maya sat among them, wearing a bright smile on her face.

"Who's gonna win tonight award?." A police officer asked. 

"What do you expect if not Maya? She has four medals on her clothes," July said, and Maya shrugged.

"I work hard to gain it, I'm not sure I'm going to be winning this year's medal because when there's Grayson," Maya said, looking at Grayson, who was also staring at her.

"As you all know, tonight is the 2024 award-giving ceremony for the best and loyal police agents we have," Emily said.

Everyone clapped.

"So tonight, I'll be calling the winner to the stage."

"She has solved many crimes, she's one of the best, a very skilled police officer who wouldn't think twice to put her life in danger to solve a case... Maya, can you come on stage?" Emily said, and Maya furrowed her brow, then turned to July.

"Go, girl we all know you deserve this," July said, and Maya stood up and walked to the stage majestically.

Her loud boots made a clicking sound.

Maya might be a police officer, but her beauty was one of the best her moonlight-dark hair, hazel eyes, and beautiful freckles, with a mole on her neck, glorified her beauty in heaven...

She's also the epitome of hotness, with her demi-killing body in the dim light, having a body that could make any guy bow at her feet.

She stood on the stage, and everyone kept clapping, while some frowned, obviously not liking her.

Grayson's eyes followed her as she walked he then brought out a smile.

She did the police sign, and Emily installed the red Star medal in her police uniform.

Immediately, she did that, all the police officers stood up and saluted her

Maya smiled.

This had always been her dream since she was a small child, and her dream was slowly coming to pass.

Everyone clapped their hands as Emily pulled out her cap and put another one on, a shining new cap.

"Congratulations!

"Congratulations, senior!" July walked up to her and hugged her.

"I'm proud of you," July said, and Maya patted her.

"You would also get to this position a little time is all you need," Maya said.

While July let out a smile, Grayson suddenly walked up to her and stretched out his hand for a handshake.

"Congratulations," Grayson said, and Maya shook his hand.

"Thanks, Ånzianó (Elderly senior)," she said in an Italian accent.

"Mind if we have dinner together tonight?" He asked.

"You know I can never refuse you Ånziano," Maya muttered, and Grayson chuckled.

"Why do you keep calling me Ånziano we're now the same, you beat me to it," Grayson told her, and she let out a low laugh.

"When I was still a junior, I used to adore you, senior... Let's just say you were my role model, and just because I became a senior like you doesn't mean that you're no longer my role model even if years to come, you'd still be my role model, which I adore," Maya spoke.

"Never knew I got so much place in your heart, awnnn," Grayson muttered, and Maya smiled as they both walked.

"It's still so surprising how the both of us still haven't brought down that Antonio," Maya said.

"He's a devil, and it isn't easy to hunt down a devil. And do you know what your next mission is?" Grayson asked, and Maya halted in her step.

"I have no idea," Maya spoke.

"Then why don't you find out yourself?" Grayson muttered.

"Whatever it is, I'm prepared for that, since it's gonna be an easy task," Maya said.

"Your journey here has just started... Don't think it's gonna be easy like when you're still a junior," Grayson told her.

"And just like I said, Ånziano, I'm prepared," Maya replied confidently.

LION HELL , ANTONIO CLAN*

Danger

Hell

Death

Darkness was what you could easily perceive it was their daily perfume.

The clan was silent like hell even a throwing pin could easily be heard, and their loud heartbeat. You could easily hear their heartbeat, the pounding of it in their chest.

Their eyes met with the mon$ter who was sitting on the golden chair, as he puffed out a thick and heavy smoke from his mouth and nose.

The smell hit the victim who was tied in a long wood his legs were hung on top of the wood while his head was meeting with the ground he could perceive the heavy dust coming from the ground.

SWEAT covered his face his tears were like blood.

The devil just stared at him without a feeling of remorse... Rumors had it that he died and came back to life... He defeated death.

His long black bob midnight hair covered his face his muscles popped out, and you could easily see his tattoo, which he drew on his neck - an eagle.

And his arms were a skeleton tattoo then his second arm was a lion head.

He's ruthless.

Dangerous. 

Heartless.

Merciless - those best describe him.

He has many criminal cases, but it's just like the law can't do justice, his perfume was death... And also rumors had it that... He doesn't feel attracted to his Adam's ribs... No girl has been able to stand that little mon$ter of his ups... Was he a gay? No one knew.

His dark lion eyes roamed around his victim, who was tied down.

"What's the punishment for those who go against me?" His cold thunder voice asked, making the man shiver.

"Hmmm..." the man tied down kept realizing hot, heavy panting.

"I fu!cking need an answer." He shouted, his vain popping out.

"Death." The man managed to say.

"So you knew that and yet you betrayed me?" He asked.

"Sorry." The man pleaded, and the word he spoke unlocked the beast in him - just how much the word made him even angrier.

Humans are sure funny... Sorry... Sorry... How can he ever explain to them that sorry doesn't even exist in his reigns.

"Vinegar." He called, and the innocent-looking girl appeared on him.

"Yes, Don Antonio." Vinegar replied, shivering.

"He's your stepbrother, isn't he?" Antonio asked, and she nodded.

"Then why don't you k!ll him? I want you to k!ll him in the most brutal way ever." He said.
