The Last Dict Standing Chapter 7: Message sent
"Bomb?" I said it out loud.My pulse rate increases, racing, and thumping in my chest. For a few moments, I was stiff, trying to digest what my cousin, Red, had just told me. I know I should be concerned about my safety, so why am I anxiously worried about Athena's? When I looked at her innocent face, my heart was filled with anguish. She had no idea what was going on with her body or that a bomb had been planted in her head. I want whoever did this to pay dearly."Are you okay, Junior?" You appear depressed and worried. "Is something wrong?" Athena expressed concern. She may lack emotions and feelings, but her loyalty is genuine and unwavering.I gently brushed my hand across her cheeks, looking at her with sympathy. "I'm OK. "Don't worry about me," I softly say.I shifted my gaze to Red and motioned for him to join me inside the testing room so that we could have a private conversation. He immediately understood my intention, and we proceeded to the testing room, leaving Athena in t
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 8: Walls
I examined the bodies in front of me one by one. It was a terrifying sight. Some of them were disfigured, and others were severely tormented, as evidenced by visible wounds and bruises on their bodies. Some people have lost body parts or have their guts outside their bodies. A body has had its arms and legs severed by a chainsaw that is still lodged in its chest. They all died horribly, and whoever did this to them doesn't appear to have a conscience. It is cruel. Is this the kind of world I'll be living in from now on? Will I be a good leader for these types of people?I couldn't stand looking at the lifeless bodies. It makes me sick to my stomach. They may have done awful things when they were still alive, but they are still humans, and they don't deserve to be tortured in this manner. I bolted from the scene and exited the building. My grandfather attempted to stop me, but he decided to let me go so I could get some fresh air. All of this revelation and information were too much fo
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 9: The Don
"Aim!""Shoot!"I drew the trigger and attempted to shoot at the buck. Unfortunately, I missed it once more. I've been training for several weeks now. Tiny is teaching me how to use various types of weaponry. We get up early in the morning to hunt for rabbits and deer amid the depths of the forest. He let me use different kinds of guns to shoot my targets and knives to butcher them. He wanted me to experience how it feels to shoot and cut through actual flesh and get used to killing. It's an unpleasant method, but according to him, it's the most effective way to become acclimated to killings and witnessing blood and deaths.Milo teaches me hand-to-hand combat each afternoon. He wanted to make sure I could defend myself if no one else was around to protect me. The training is primarily for defense rather than offense. When we were younger, we were always getting into mischief, and he was always by my side when I was up against other kids. I don't know any martial arts, but I like to th
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 10: Panic Attack
"What the fuck did I just say?"I swallowed a large lump of air in my throat as I realized I was surrounded by high-ranking military officials, generals, politicians, and other personalities I had only seen on television and in newspapers. I can't believe I'll soon be in charge of these individuals. This is not your typical fraternity or brotherhood. This organization is much larger than I expected.I saw my dad looking at me with pride and joy. He was astounded by my introduction to the members of the organization, and I could tell by his reaction that he wasn't expecting my behavior; nobody did. Even my grandfather was smiling as I watched him from my peripheral vision. This is what he wanted from me—to unleash my inner beast. He knew that I was only pretending to be tough in front of everybody, and I could say that I was slaying it. I am giving the best performance of my life.My stomach clenched, and my belly cramped all of a sudden. I'm having a panic attack that makes me want to
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 11: Initiation
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the head rolling on the table. They looked at me with bewilderment. I expected to see the dread in their eyes as a result of the powerful message I delivered, but instead, they all stood up and clapped. Their expressions were filled with admiration and joy. My father came over to me and rubbed my shoulder. He has a proud smile on his face as he looks at me.My grandfather was also smiling as he stepped forward and said, "Are you now convinced that my grandson is capable of leading all of us?" He scanned his eyes for each member in the meeting room."Yes. He passed the initiation!" one of the organization's associates said.The color drained from my face as I couldn't fathom what was going on. "Did I hear correctly? I assumed I had completed the initiation a long time ago. What on earth is he babbling about?" I told myself."Did you hear that, my boy? You've made quite an impression on our associates," my grandfather said proudly.My chest tighten
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 12: Mission Impossible – part 1
"What is it that you want me to retrieve?" It puzzled me so much to think that the thing that my grandfather wanted me to get from the mansion was far more important than my life. "Why send me and not Red or my dad?" I questioned him."The invitation is for the El Latro leader, so your presence is important. Since your grandfather is about to step down from his position as organization head, it is appropriate to introduce you to everyone right now," according to Uncle Stephen, who went into great detail."I looked at the auction's list of things, and all you need to do is make sure to purchase item sixty-nine on the list. No matter how much it costs, you must win the bid; I don't care how much you spend on it." Grandpa emphasized it strongly."Uncle Stephen can place a bid on that; why did you ask me to do it?" I argued with him."Because I sent him on another mission. The place is filled with different types of dealers, and they need to get intel on the people who are trying to sell

You appeared shorter than I anticipated," he said mockingly. "I can easily crush you like a bug," he threatened me."Your name suits your face; you look like my scrotum," I said, chuckling."Asshole!" Vulzach raised his arms, and when he was about to hit me, Wilfred interfered and stood in between us.He pointed his finger at us and said, "House rules: no fighting." Violence will not be tolerated in his mansion. If you want to test your egos, settle this outside of my turf," he continued.He again threatened me, saying, "I will kill you, Junior." He is very committed to taking my life."Not tonight, Ball Sack," I said jokingly."Junior, stop provoking him and get on with the mission!" Uncle Stephen yelled at me on the communication device. "Don't forget about what we came here for, Junior," he reminded me."Come on, gentlemen. The auction is about to begin," Wilfred said calmly.We were brought to the auction by Wilfred, who put his arms around our shoulders.There is a podium in the
The Last Dict Standing Chapter 14: Into the Tunnels of hell
A comfortable house, warm clothes, and a soft bed—finally, I've returned home. I no longer worry about my safety, even though I am still the island's most wanted man. Now that people know I am the future Don and the head of the most dreadful mafia group, they are afraid of me. They would think twice before they laid their fingers on me. Along with Athena, many men from Cerberus are standing guard around my house and are prepared to sacrifice themselves to protect me."Junior, wake up." I heard a sweet voice calling out my name.My home is now peaceful, and it feels wonderful. Finally, I could go to sleep knowing that someone was watching out for me. I disregarded the call, wrapped myself in a blanket, and resumed slumber."Junior, wake up." The sweet voice called to me once more, singing in my ears like a mermaid's song.I looked around to see who was calling me as soon as I opened my eyes. Athena was standing next to my bed and giving me her customary expressionless look."Good morni
