The young boy sat on the bench, with his face to the sky.
His right leg was placed on the bench he was sitting on, while the left, was on the floor.From the uniform he was putting on, you can already tell that he's a student.His white shirt, neatly tucked into those black trousers of his, made him look well-kept and neat.His black hair was cute round, leaving the middle with hair enough to cover one part of his face.The green mesmerizing eyes of the boy, made him look so out of the world, looking up at the sun.He was like a model posing for either a photographer or an artist.The pose and all that made him look so breathtaking and innocent.He looked, to any passing, like someone who has no cares in the world.But that was far from the truth. Kon was lost in thoughts.Currently, he was calculating how to get the required amount before the end of that day, and he was yet not successful in that.The three jobs he shuffled through weren't enough to pay the debts. And he needed to add more.But the problem was his schoolwork.There was no way a person like him can get through school without studying. And he didn't want to be a dropout.One thing Kon cherished was his education. He doesn't play with it.“Hi!” Lin, his friend since childhood, smiled when he saw Kon sitting on the bench, waiting for him.Lin was a slender kid with brown, messy hair that doesn't seem to obey his order. And that caused him to always have his hand on his face, removing the stray hair that threatened to block his sight.Dressed in the same uniform as Kon, Lin seemed different.Not only because of how worn his shirt was, but how indecent he was.He was the opposite of Kon who was every mother's wish, for a son.Lin, on the other hand, was the one parents warn their children of. No one wants to associate with him.“You took your time, didn't you?” Kon stood from the bench and slung his backpack on his shoulders.“Mrs Clay asked me to get some things for her. I would have been back earlier had it not been for her.”Lin grinned in a way he thought was cute. But of a truth, it was damn creepy. Anyone can see that. However, Kon was too much of a darling to tell him about that.“And here comes your everyday excuses. Will there be a day when you won't have excuse after excuse?” Kon darkly frowned at him.Lin might have been his only friend for years now, but there are days that he gets this urge to bash Kon's head on the sink.“I'm sorry, okay? I know I shouldn't have an excuse, but trust me when I say it's not my fault.” Lin said in a not-so-apologetic way.“It's not always your fault.” Kon gave him a once over, for the first time since he came here.It was as if Kon were seeing him for the first time that day.“What's with your clothes? Don't tell me you had a run-in with the tigers?”“No.” Lin nervously scratched his hair as he thought about his earliest clash with the tigers.The tigers are the notorious blood gang of the school. Those boys are the merciless bullies the school ever had. And with the backing of the leopard mafia gang in the city, no one ever dared to question their actions.“Don't lie to me, Lin.” Kon narrowed his eyes at his friend. “Tell me, what did they do this time?”“Nothing much.” Lin shrugged as if it were no big deal.“No big deal? And you are looking this way?I know you are rough and all that, but never to this extent.”“It's no big deal. Chill a bit, will you?”“Only when you tell me what happened between you and the Tigers.”Kon clenched his hands into fists as he tried to restrain his anger.He hasn't been a well-behaved boy, who doesn't want to clash with others. But—“It's nothing.” Lin nervously laughed, “let's go home. It's already getting late. Don't you have work tonight?”“I have.” Kon decided not to pursue the matter.It seemed his friend was eager to drop it. So, he did what he asked. He dropped the matter.“Yeah, I just need to head home, to get ready.”But Kon didn't feel like going home. It was the same thing every time. There was no change in it at all.“You can come over to mine, then. Mother isn't around, so you are free to stay there for the night.”“Really?” Kon's face brightened at his friend's words.He seemed as if he were at the top of his world right now.“Why will I lie.”Lin, who already knew that his friend hates going home, was eager to offer him a place.Even if it was for the night. It makes a difference. At least, it will minimize the amount of time he will spend with her.“Let's go then.”Kon smiled, having already forgotten about the Tigers. And that made Lin exhale in relief.He doesn't want his friend to be in any trouble of any sort.Kon prided himself on his clean record, and Lin was not eager to cause a stain on the white robe.“Did he return?”“No. But she brought several others. Had to hit one when he drunkenly entered my room thinking he was going to get a free lay.”Kon clenched his hands into fists as he thought back to the night before.Tired from the overtime he worked at the bar, he was ready to crash and get some sleep. But that stupid mother f*cker had to interrupt his rest.So, he showed him a good time. With his fists, of course.His mother was angry with him, but he didn't feel it.At least the fool learned his lessons.“Kon? Can you please help me with this?” Tay called out from the storage.Even this far from the club, you can still hear the sounds of the music.Tonight is singles night, and the bar is packed with customers. All the workers are occupied, and there was no room for the workers to have their rest.“What's it?” Kon came into focus. He was dressed in the blue shirt all workers wear, and his black trousers seemed a bit rumpled.This was caused by the constant tugging and touching of the people in the bar, as they danced.“I need to take this out.” Tay pointed to the larger-than-life carton, at the top of the shelves.“Is there anything you are doing with it?” Kon frowned at her.“There are cups in there. We need to restock them, for the customers.”“Okay.” Kon stretched his hands to get the carton from the shelves.Tay smiled cutely as she watched him. She tucked her hair behind her ears, before blinking cutely at him as he brought it down.“Thank you, Kon. You are a darling!” The way he
A man dressed in a red suit was seen walking through a dark corridor. The only light was the one that was up ahead, but it only illuminated the corridors.Aside from that, there was no light.The man in the red suit majestically walked on. It was as if he knew where he was going. And not only that, but it seemed he knew it like the back of his palm.His dark hair was slicked to the side with an expensive gel. And the sweet scent of it was a sharp contrast to the Stony man who applied it.His face was pulled in a frown.And he seemed pissed off for a certain reason. At the sight of the corridor ahead, he hastened his steps.The door at the end of the corridor, the door opened at the same time he made to touch the handle.He stood back as the door was opened.“You are here?” The man at the other end spoke up. It was as if he were on the verge of running away from there.The fear in his eyes, and the way he constantly glanced back, alerted the man in the red suit.“Is the boss in there?”
The devil strode out to where the car was packed. His men flanked both sides of the car, bowing deeply as they did so.In the queue are 10 motorcycles and five cars. The middle car is for the devil, while the other four are for his minions. The five motorcycles lined in front of the cars are for his trained bodyguards, while the other five at the back of the cars are for the newly trained.They are known as scapegoats.“Is everything ready?” The devil asked Scorpion, who was limping behind him.The poor man was in great pain, but you wouldn't know because of his well he hid his pain.As a trained soldier, he knows what Pain is, and he has endured more than enough in his life.Three bullet shots are nothing compared to half of the things the devil has caused him to pass through.“Yes, My Lord. The venue is set.” Scorpion turned to one of the men closest to him, “we are about to leave. Alert the others.”“Yes, sir!”The guard placed a hand on the Secret Service earpiece on his ears. “We
“The devils are here tonight.”Those were the only words Kon's mind decided to replay as he walked through the tables. He got orders from a few of the tables in the first three rooms. And he was yet to enter the upper rooms.Those rooms at the other end of the hall are known as the VVIP rooms. They are always occupied by those of importance to the city.Especially, Men, you shouldn't trifle with.“Phew.”Kon wiped the sweat from his brows when he finally made a round through the first three rooms.He hated this part of his job. However, there was no way he can quit, as this is the only place willing to employ a high school student. And not only that, but the tips he gets from here, coupled with his pay, are more than any place can ever pay him.That's the reason he decided to stay here.The reason Kon hated the VIP was because of what happened in there.Unlike the ordinary areas of the bar, the things that happen in the VIP area aren't something a young student like Kon should be allo
Kon walked towards the fourth room. His entire focus was on his duty. He didn't even bother to think of the dumb leader of the black tiger, whom he would have punched to hell had he tried anything funny with him.“Stupid fellows always thinking they can bully someone like me?” Kon scoffed.“They don't know who I am.” He wiped the sweat from his brows before he entered the last room.Phew.He sighed.It was time for him to meet the rumoured devil and his men.“Wait, who am I kidding?” He laughed, “it's not as if the devil will notice me even if I'm one of the strippers dancing on the pole.”Everyone knows the devil is a player, but no one has seen him with any females.It's not as if Kon has seen him in person. However, the things he has heard about the devil presided over him.Kon took a deep, steady breath before he entered the room.Unlike the previous rooms he took orders from, the music was low here.There was no sight of the female strippers around. And that made Kon wonder what
“How dare you!” The sniper growled at Kon.“I dare much,” Kon narrowed his eyes at the man. “If you don't know where to keep your hands, you better seek ways to cut it off your shoulders, and stick them down your throat.” Kon turned and started for the door, without bothering about those around.The men with the sniper tried to stop him, but the devil raised his hand, signalling that they should allow him to pass.He was still awed by the youth who looks as fearless as a wolf.It pleased him to see Sniper brought to his knees.“This will teach you to go for those on your level.” He smirked as he watched Sniper glower.The devil knew it wasn't over for the boy, but at least, he was safe until they leave there.However, the devil doesn't intend to allow the sniper to get to the boy before him.Any fellow that can bring the egoistic sniper to his knees is worth keeping.“Rubbish!” Kon fumed in irritation as he left the place. He felt like kicking everyone he sees, but he kept the temper
“Can I pass?” Kon asked in a calm voice.“You—”“It's okay. I will take it from here.” The devil who has got tired of watching his men make a fool of themselves decided to take matters into his hands.He knew if he does nothing, they will end up arguing with the boy until morning.“Okay, boss.” The men bowed to the devil before they left, with their hearts feeling heavy for the poor boy who doesn't know what he has got himself into.“Do you—” Kon turned, intent on giving the so-called devil peace of his mind. However, the words in his throat froze when he saw the handsome man standing a distance from him.To call the devil Handsome will be an understatement of the century.The devil was more than handsome, with his chiselled jaw, and too-bright green eyes that seemed as if it was trying to suck everyone in.His black hair glistened in the dark, and it seemed to accentuate his features.However, that wasn't what caught Kon's attention.It was the scar on the side of his face. The scar
“Get out of my way,” Kon said in a calm tone as he narrowed his eyes at the men.“What a feisty boy.” The leader smirked as he gave Kon a once-over.“You don't know how feisty I am.” Kon smiled, “now, will you please let me pass?”“How dare you!” The leader tried to punch him, but Kon dodged.He bent down a bit and kicked the man in the stomach.“How dare you?” The man growled in anger as he righted his stance.“Wow, who would have thought he's this strong?” The devil mussed as he watched the boy who sparked his interest.He knew the boy was bold, but never would he have thought the boy was this strong.It didn't take Kon a minute to get the men writhing on the ground.“Before you attack in the future, know your opponents.” Kon scoffed at the men before he turned and started towards his house.“What should we do now, boss?” Scorpion, who was at a loss of what to do, turned to his boss.“Follow him.”The devil commanded as he watched Kon disappear down the streets.It infuriated him th
