The leader began to panic, red-faced, eyes bulging out their sockets, and was grabbing his veiny neck, trying to breathe. He started hammering his chest with his fist to try and force himself into breathing again and although it worked, his breathing was now unsteady. The leader stepped back, afraid of what Anthony would do next, however, his legs were too weak that stepping on a small pebble behind him made him trip and fall on his butt. The other gang members were also terrified by Anthony because only higher echelon members of the Mob have ever been able to place this level of fear in any of them. Even the police have never been able to get this type of reaction from them but here comes Anthony doing the same thing. "The penance stare!" the informant in the gang mumbled but he went unnoticed. They quickly rushed to their fallen leader, trying to help him up while he looked like he was just about to throw up everything he had eaten that day. Being forced to hold his breath for

The Overseer chuckled at Anthony's response ["Don't worry your head about what my identity is yet, in due time I will find you. Just wait until then and don't think that you can escape me"] The Overseer spoke in a malicious tone "You're going to find me are y—" Anthony was cut off ["Give back the phone to the busboy"] the Overseer instructed and Anthony feeling rebellious hesitated in doing so. The Overseer also refused to say anything more until he had made sure that Anthony had obeyed his instructions so he had no other choice but to comply. Both the Overseer and the man in black had a very short-lived one-sided conversation before the call was cut and he returned the phone to his pocket. "What did he say?" Anthony asked the man in front of him but was met with silence before… "Goodbye, sir! You know where to reach us if you have another order" The man in black bowed his head a little then left, walking in a hurry and heading back down. *DING* Down at the lobby, the cleaners

Outside the Grand Blue Restaurant, Anthony brought out the ID card to stare at it, about to make a left turn into the next road. "Who could have thought that this tiny thing would mean the difference between being jobless and under the control of my f*cking in-laws and now having part-time jobs in three different locations? I could have gotten my share of her hospital bills already if I had just done this since day one" he mumbled, finally turning the corner He scoffed "I guess it all happened for a reason because I wouldn't be trying to regain my power if I ha—" out of nowhere, a kid ran into him and fell to the ground. "Ouch, my butt!" The kid complained, wincing and rubbing his butt "Why don't you watch where you're walking Mr." The kid yelled, not even looking up to see who he was talking to "Huh? What the hell did you just say to me you stupid brat?!" Anthony was furious, glaring at the kid who finally looked up at him and saw who he had just run into. Instantly he shriveled

Since the beginning, the manager had had his head bowed ever so slightly that it looked like he had a slouch but in truth, he didn't ("Oh, one last thing. Always remember to lower your head when in the presence of these guests.") The manager told Anthony during the interview but Anthony responded with silence at the time. The manager took that as compliance but he was wrong as he has been glaring at Anthony but Anthony wasn't lowering his head to the guests. Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes. Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave. However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them. They were even more accepting of him than the manager had calculated, especially from the man on the left. "So how did you get so skilled in cards kid? You also gamble a lot?" Asked the VIP on the left,

["Hello? Who is this?"] Finally, after three attempts his call was answered. "This is Anthony, Mr's Faller. I was just calling to see how Samuel was doing" he sat in the bed with his shoes off but still had his casino dealer outfit on. ["Umm, he's fine. It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"] After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not. Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled ["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth. Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account. I'll be just fine" he smiled ["I'm glad to hear that and you m
