Chapter 4 King Of The Underworld

  • || STEFANO's POV ||
  • I recognized the members of the Devil gang immediately. I knew those bastards too well. After all, I was their Boss, the Devil of the underworld, Don Stefano Lombardi.
  • Mr. Devil was a name without a face or identity. I was the Italian Don known by my title. No one had ever seen my face, not even the gang members. I wore a devil mask always and I did it to protect my identity. To the whole world, I was a Billionaire businessman whose life was full of dark secrets. No tabloid or magazine was allowed to take or post my pictures. Only a few who met me personally knew my face.
  • It was the reason that I stood unrecognized by my own people. Whatever it was, I had no intention of saving this girl. I got paid for killing this dumb who came here alone to meet her death.
  • Without any hesitation, I threw her hands off me, walking into the corner to stand quietly, silently giving them hints that they should finish the task. Her eyes went wide in panic and fear. She crawled to me again, begging desperately,
  • " Please..save me..."
  • I shrugged off coldly and turned around to leave the room without a word. As they scooted closer to get a hold of her, she suddenly shouted at me,
  • " I gave you 400 dollars that night. I will give you 400 more if you save me this time."
  • "$300! I paid $300 for one night with you just two weeks ago. I’ve got money—believe me! I can give you all the money you want. How about $30,000? Just save my life!"
  • I froze in my steps, slowly descending my hand into my pockets to feel the few notes. So she was the fierce girl who paid off the Italian Don for having sex with her. Interesting!
  • Found her finally!
  • That night, I was in a business meeting in Los Angeles where my rival, Harry Beaumont dragged me. He really thought that he could destroy me but it was too bad for him.
  • Now, his whole empire was destroyed into ash, his proud family was left begging on the street. I spun around to face my men, giving them one last warning,
  • " Leave.her.alone. Take my last suggestion!"
  • At the same time, I took my phone and sent a quick order to my men in broadcast: Step back. Task Cancelled!
  • But one of the stubborn heads snarled at me, raising up the dagger,
  • " Don't even think about calling the cops unless you wish to see what the Devil's men can do."
  • The girl muttered in fear, still sobbing,
  • " Mr. Devil....?"
  • But I had no time to pay attention to her words. They attacked me after raising their daggers together,
  • " Get ready to die with the girl, fucker."
  • Fuck! Now I really need to beat my own men? Why don't they check the broadcast message?
  • I fought with the urge to tell them that I was their fucking boss. But everything happened too fast. They forwarded together at lightning speed, launching their daggers at me. I shouted at the girl, dragging her behind me,
  • " STAY BACK!"
  • She stumbled against the floor, and watched me in awe and amusement as I blocked their attack. One of them charged his blade at me, almost cutting deep but I avoided it smoothly, breaking his ankle all the way.
  • The second one came with a more brutal attack. He aimed at my eyes which I dodged swiftly and disarmed his hand that he used to attack me. The third one aimed straight at my chest. I was quick to dodge it fast and grabbed him by his collar before throwing him up over the men.
  • The girl's scream pierced into my ears, snapping my attention back to her. Her eyes were wide with horror. Before I could process anything, a sharp pain seared through my shoulder. I hissed through my gritted teeth in pain. Using my other hand, I twisted his other arm and freed the dagger from his clutch. Grabbing his waist, I tossed him up in the air and threw him away, his body banging against the wall.
  • I staggered on the floor, raising my hand to clutch the wound to stop bleeding,
  • " I told you to stay the fuck away from the girl."
  • They all groaned in pain and anger together on the ground. Two of them had crawled to the other side to get their weapons again. Suddenly their phone rang and I believed that it was from my manager. After a few words, they gave us cold glares before they left the scene.
  • Better!
  • At least I didn't have to beat their ass again.
  • I exhaled in relief and heard the sound of something thumping on the floor. When I turned around, I saw her lying on the floor unconscious.
