Chapter 10 What Do You Want From Me?

• “Mom?” He blinked as his eyes took in the figure of his mother.
• All his life, he has never seen his mother dressed like a decent human.
• “Boy, are you surprised?” His mother chuckled.
• His mother is dressed in a blue gown, and her long hair was tied up in a bun. She has light makeup on, and her shoes seemed to match her clothes.
• Unlike how she was before, she looked presentable.
• “How? What—”
• Kon was speechless.
• Not only was his mother dressed more formally than ever, their house now looked more like a home.
• Everything was neat and kept in place.
• “You see, boy.” She sat on the cushion opposite him, “when I gave birth to you, I never knew how important you will be.”
• She chuckled, confusing Kon who was still trying to make sense of everything.
• “What are you talking about?”
• “How ever did you meet the mafia devil?”
• “The mafia devil?” Kon took a step back at the sound of the name he detests the most.
• “Boy, must I say, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of whom you—”
• “What are you talking about?”
• “Our debts have been paid off, boy! We are no longer owning. And that's not all. The mafia devil bought a new house for us!”
• “What?”
• Shocked, Kon took another step back. Things were getting complicated the more he tried to understand what was happening.
• “Oops, I almost forgot. He said—”
• “Where is he?”
• “Who?” His mother blinked.
• “Where is the Mafia devil?” Kon growled at him.
• “At his club. Where else—”
• Kon dropped his bag on the cushion next to him. He raced out of the house and headed towards the club where the devil recedes.
• It took him more than thirty minutes to reach the place where the devil recedes.
• Kon stopped in front of the large door.
• No one knew where the devil recedes. They only knew where his club was located.
• Kon walked towards the place where three men dressed in black stood, with their backs to the door.
• “Where is he?” He growled at the men.
• “Halt!” The men said in a stern voice. Their eyes were narrowed squarely at Kon.
• “Where is the damn devil! Tell him to come out here!” Kon growled.
• He wasn't scared of the men in suits, and neither was he concerned about his actions. All he knew was he wasn't leaving there without meeting the devil.
• “How dare you?” The men growled at him. As one, they advanced towards Kon, intent on teaching the rascal a lesson.
• “Are you guys asking for a beating?” Kon smirked.
• He wasn't scared of the men.
• “You dare—”
• “Stop!”
• The scorpion stopped the men. “Don't touch him.”
• At the sound of the new voice, Kon turned to the door.
• Standing in front of the now partially open door is Scorpion.
• Unlike the other men, he was putting on a dark blue suit. His hand was tied with a bandage, covering the wound the devil gave to him not too long ago.
• “Sir,” the men bowed to him.
• “Where is the damned devil?” Kon growled at him.
• “He's waiting for you.” Scorpion smirked, “if you can, please follow me. I will take you to him.” He smirked once more at the little boy who doesn't know he was walking straight into the Lion's den.
• “Take me to him,” Kon commanded, thinking he has the upper hand.
• “With all due pleasure.” Scorpion turned, and headed into the door he came out from, with Kon hot on his heels.
• “He doesn't know what he is up against.” The men standing outside the door smirked as they watched Kon.
• It was amusing to watch a lamb acting like a Lion.
• Kon walked behind Scorpion, who was walking deeper into the club.
• Unlike the club Kon works in, this place seemed to have more than enough hallways.
• It was like a maze to Kon who was trying so hard to memorize the route. However, it wasn't an easy feat.
• The farther they walked, the darker the hallways became until they came upon a hall that was so dark the only things lighting their paths were lanterns which weren't up to five.
• And for the first time since Kon entered the devil's club, he felt goosebumps materialize on his skin.
• He wasn't fool enough not to know there was no way he will be able to escape from this place should all the devil's men come upon him at the same time.
• “Why is this place big? I thought it was supposed to be a small club?” Kon frowned.
• His questions caused Scorpion to smile.
• It was funny hearing the quake in the boy's voice.
• “We are here.” Scorpion stopped in front of a door and opened the door for Kon.
• “My master is waiting for you.” He kept the door open until Kon entered. And only then did he shut the door.
• “Good luck.” He smirked before he locked the door, just like the devil ordered him to do.
• Kon didn't hear the door locked as his attention was focused on the man who was sitting in the middle of the otherwise dark room.
• The only light in the room was focused solely on the devil, who was sitting with his legs crossed.
• His eyes were trained on the lamb who was willingly walking towards the devil.
• “How dare you interfere with my life?” He matched towards the devil.
• The shock he got earlier when he came into the room, momentarily washed off when he saw the person he was looking for.
• The devil smirked as he watched Kon proceed towards him.
• “I don't know who you are, and neither do I want to know that. All I want you to do is steer out of my business!”
• “And what if I don't want that?” The Devil asked in a calm and collected tone. With his brows raised, he looked like he was having a lot of fun.
• “Then, I will force you to do that!” Kon narrowed his eyes at the devil.
• “How can you do that when you are still owing me?”
• “I didn't ask you to help my family!” Kon growled at him. “I never asked you to butt into my family affairs!”
• “Take it as a favour from me.”
• “A favour? Why give such a favour to a stranger?” Kon narrowed his eyes at the devil.
• There was no way in hell that he will believe the devil was Just helping him. He knew there is nothing like a free lunch.
• “Of course, I won't give such a favour without asking for something in return.” The devil rose from the cushion he was sitting on and walked towards him.
• “What do you want from me? So you know, I have nothing to offer except for my hard work. I will work hard to pay—”
• “And who said I wanted your money?” The Devil stopped in front of Kon who was trying so hard not to take a step back.
• “What do you want, then?” Kon balled his hands into fists as he got ready for whatever it was the devil intended to do to him.
• “You.” The Devil leaned in and whispered into his ears.
