Kon froze at the scene in front of him.The devil was covered in blood, and bodies lay on the floor.However, that wasn't what shocked him the most.The sadistic smirk on the devil's face did that.“What?”A scream tore from Kon's throat at the sight of blood.“Kon?” Shocked, the devil turned. His eyes widened. “Kon, I—”Kon ran out of the room.Instead of running towards the front door like any scene human would, he ran into their room, with the devil hot on his tail.He ran into the room and made to close the door, but the devil held it and prevented him from doing so.The devil pushed open the door and caught Kon. He wrapped his bloodied arms around Kon and drew him closer.“Let go!” Kon fought to get the devil's hold off him, but the devil held on tighter. He didn't budge at all.“Let me go!” He screamed at the top of his lungs, but the devil held him.“You shouldn't have seen that, Kon.” He placed his head on Kon's back. “It wasn't meant for your eyes.”Kon stopped thrashing.“No

Kon smirked. “Didn't your mom ever tell you not to hit kids?”The men stood, shocked by the boldness of the boy.They were expecting a young student who will cower at their feet, with tears in his eyes, begging to be let free.But what they saw was far from what they expected.The boy standing in front of them doesn't look like a distressed damsel.“What? Are you surprised?” Kon glanced back to make certain there was no one sneaking up on him before he turned to them.“What do you want?” He placed his hands on his waist.It has been long since Kon fought. Close to four months, it has been. And he's hungry for it.He wants to hit someone in the face and watch as blood trickles down.“Get him!” The leader of the men commanded. He stood back and watched them with a sly grin on his face.With a battle cry, the men charged at Kon who stood his ground and watched them with an amused expression.One of the men tried to knock him, but Kon bent and kicked him in the stomach. He took the man's

“Have you found him, yet?” The devil asked the second group he dispatched. “No, we—”“Find him! What the hell are you wasting time for?” He growled at them before he disconnected, to call the others. And like the first set they called, none of them has gotten anything tangible. “Drive faster!” He growled at Scorpion, whose hands were shaking.Though the devil hasn't done anything to him yet. It doesn't mean he's off the hook. “Yes, sir.” Scorpion drove like a deranged man.They have been at this for a full day, but no one has gotten Kon's location. It was as if the people who took him, disappeared into thin air. The devil had his men in other countries, searching for Kon, but none have made progress at all, and none have slept.The devil had them searching for Kon throughout the night, while he did the same with Scorpion.He checked with their rival gangs, but there was no sign of Kon. The devil's knuckles were bloody, and splotches of blood were on his clothes, but he didn't

The devil got out of the car the moment Scorpion killed the engine. He pocketed three of his guns and held one in his hand. “Should I come with you, sir?” Scorpion asked, with his head bowed, afraid of what the devil's answer will be.“Get your guns, and follow me.” The devil said before he matched to the gate.Scorpion didn't waste any time at all. He took his gun and exited the car.The devil knocked on the gate and stood back.“Who's there?” A guard called from the other side of the gate.“The devil.” “What? The devil? What are you doing here?” He asked, without opening the gate. “I'm here to see your master.” As much as the devil ached to barge into the compound, he knows there is no way for him to do that with the iron gate. Breaking through will require a lot of time. And that wasn't what the devil has. “Our Master? Wait—”“If I count to the number 10, and the gate isn't opened, you will have your tongues cut. Don't forget who I am.” The devil threatened them. The guards e

“Lin?” Kon furrowed his brows. “Lin!” He rushed over to where Lin was and enveloped him in a hug. Lin didn't reciprocate the hug. He stood like a statue. “What's wrong?” Kon furrowed his brows. He broke from the hug and faced Lin. “Nothing.” Lin forced a smile. “It's not 'nothing' Lin. I can't count how many times I visited your house, and your mother told me you were not around.Did I do anything wrong, Lin?” “No.” Lin grinned. “I was busy.” “For more than a month? You missed classes because you were busy?” Kon furrowed his brows at his best friend.“No, it's just—”“Mom.” Toto held Kon's hand. “Who's he?” She nodded at Lin.“Mom?” Lin's eyes dramatically widened. “What's she talking about? Who's she?” “Oh,” Kon nervously chuckled. “This is Toto. Toto, this is Lin. He's my best friend.” Kon introduced them. “I'm pleased to meet you, uncle Lin!” Toto stretched her hand out for a shake.“The pleasure is mine.” Lin shook her hand before he let go as if it burned him.“Who's she?
