" Do you have an objection? I don\'t mind adding one more to my list!" He looked at the person menacingly.

" It\'s not like that; I think you have done enough. Even after risking your life for our sake, you have never taken any life here, which I am thankful for. I hope you will not change it." Other people also agreed with this man.

" Please let me do it! This bastard is why I lost my husband!"

" No! I want to do it. If not for him, my daughter would still be alive!"

" Let me do it!"

Samuel, whose mind was filled with killing intent, subsided as he heard their plea. They were right; as long as the ringleader died, he had no opinions about it. Killing a person was still a line he had not crossed yet, and he wanted to avoid it as long as possible.

" Suit yourself." Samuel threw him toward the crowd. He didn\'t know Felipe met the same fate after he left but was still alive.

For Nemesio, fate was much crueler.

Puck! Smash! Boom!

It was a vivid scene, but Samuel watched them vent their anger until the end. Even after all the trouble, there were no winners today.

After they were done, Nemesio was hardly recognizable. Thus, one of the influential gang leaders in the country met his end with a public beating. He who begged for his life countless times lay lifeless in the middle of the square with no one giving his body a second look.

Only sobbing people that were looking at their bloody hands; what they did was unacceptable, but why was their hearts at peace after the outrage?

Even in this place where death was commonplace, what Samuel witnessed was shocking.

" Do you guys regret it now?" Samuel\'s voice brought them back to their senses.

""NO!""

" Nothing changes, I will say it now, but those who want to run away can do so because this will not change your fate. I did not do this for you; you also have to pay for your crimes. But at least there is hope for you at the end of the tunnel.

At least you can return to a place that will be very different from this." Samuel laid it out for them. He would leave it to the police, but he had to call someone to stabilize this mess.

" We will-"

" That\'s for you to decide. I will call someone who will look after this place from now on. And don\'t worry about it; he will not force you to do anything illegal."

" Thank you...Boss!"

" Boss?"

" Yes, BOSS!" Somehow he became the new boss of this place. Could he add the Mafia boss to his resume now? Well, It would make things easier for him. They were under him; he didn\'t mind investing in this place.

He took out his phone to see countless notifications, most of them from the girls. There were few from his aunt Amelia, he almost forgot that she too lived in this city. He decided to pay them a visit later.

He ignored them for now and dialed a specific number. This person would be vital for his plan.

" Young master, how rare for you to call me at this hour." The person on the other side of the phone replied.

Only then did Samuel check the time; it was almost four o\'clock in the evening, which meant it must be midnight in the European region.

" Sorry, did I wake you up?"

" No, no. This work requires me to burn the midnight oil. What can I do for you?"please visit

" You could start by telling me your name, for starters?"

" This again, I really don\'t have time to entertain you today."

" Wait! Don\'t hang up! I was only messing with you, Zero. I call for something important."

" You should have started with this then; what can I do for you? Do you need information?"

" AXA guild, do we have any bases around the LA region?" Samuel asked.

" We do. Do you need in-person assistance? Are you in danger? I can dispatch some people immediately!" Zero said with worry.

"It\'s not serious, but I do need some people. I just took down some people who happen to be a famous street gang; now that the leaders are gone, I will need some people to manage their operation. Nothing illegal, but you know I can\'t just abandon them."

" That-why are you always running around doing such dangerous kinds of stuff? I will send some people. Just send me the address."

" Thanks, What about you? Is the business booming?"

" It going as usual. Other regions are hitting a rough patch, but we have everything under control. Why? Don\'t tell me you are not reading my reports?"

" I will do it later. You know I have been busy fighting these people."

" I know, recently I have been getting some interesting reports too, like how you are picking up girls like crazy-"

" Oh, your voice is cutting. Can you repeat that?"

" Picking up girls-"

" I am losing you! I will call you later!" Samuel quickly ended the call.

Giving Zero, who currently headed the AXA guild, was like shooting yourself in the foot. He also knew how much of a curious person Zero was. Information was everything to them; even Samuel\'s embarrassing incident was somehow valuable to him. Who buys that shit? Samuel didn\'t know!

A few minutes after the call, the police also arrived. For the whole day, they traced Samuel\'s footsteps but only ran around in circles.

The same thing happened when they went to the place Felipe told them about, everything was a mess, but this time, they found that their boss was missing. Those who were conscious told them absurd things like a monster attacking them and kidnapping their boss.

Bulletproof monster?

Even high-caliber weapons were ineffective against him?

Moved so fast that they couldn\'t follow him with their eyes?

Summoned fire with his hands?

Broke stone pillars with his bare hand?

Fuck! Did superman attack them? These druggies were all the same! No one believed them and chalked it up to their substance abuse.

But there were a lot of things unexplainable about this incident. The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Samuel was fine. He was covered in blood, but seeing how he walked, he was not in pain.

This time he would not let him escape and safely bring him back to headquarters. But Samuel had other plans.
