The city was quiet. Marcus, having stayed in hiding for as long as he could, was out loose again searching for Don Black. Well, he knew where to find Don Black but what he didn't want was to apprehend the man right there in his house. Of course, Marcus couldn't. If only he could spot Don Black in a neutral place, Marcus would not mind having the police take him down as long as he dealt with Don Black first. Leaving his hide out, he returned to the apartment that Don Black had given him before he died. It was a cozy studio apartment that fit Marcus to the max. Marcus slid into his apartment after a long time and landed heavily on the bed. He took out his gun from the back of his pocket and kept it on the table in the middle of his bed room. "Fuck!" Marcus muttered as he lay down. Knackered from the day's activities. Marcus had installed surveillance cameras in front of Don Black's home as that was the way he thought best to get at Don Black without a crossfire. T

Marcus was confused. He didn't know how to feel concerning what Jin Shen had just told him. Did it mean that he was still the lead gang leader of the Shen family boss?''I beg your pardon, sir?'' Marcus asked. Jin Shen turned to look at Marcus and seemed to glare into his soul for the first time since they started their conversation. ''How long has it been since my uncle passed on?'' Jin Shen suddenly asked Marcus. ''A month and some days,'' Marcus replied. Jin Shen observed Marcus again after this. ''You don't look skinny. I thought you lived off him, how come his death has not made you look like a skinny old beggar?'' Jin Shen asked. Marcus laughed. Obviously, Jin Shen didn't know anything about being a gangster. He might be tough as nails, as expected, but he didn't know anything about the real art of gangsterism, if not, nothing will make him ask Marcus that sort of ridiculous question. ''I make my own money,'' Marcus replied. ''Is that so?'' Jin Shen asked with a curi

"Now that you have returned, maybe I should serve the divorce notice to him," Laura Ban's lawyer asked when he called. "Wait, don't be so fast. Why don't you wait for my order first?" Laura Ban asked impatiently. "What special order do you want to give? We agreed that we will do this as soon as you returned, what do you mean by order now?" The lawyer asked. Laura Ban blinked impatiently. If she was being serious, she ought to serve that letter a long time ago but she had returned from Mexico with a different mind, now she was mixing everything and everyone up in a haze of confusion. "Oh, I get it. He has made you change you mind after loving you so much at Mexico, right? I wonder how these husbands always know when something is about to happen to them, they now get to indulge their wives as if they had always loved her," the lawyer complained. "No, he didn't do anything," Laura Ban quickly refuted. "So? What are you talking about then? His come you suddenly changed your mind, y

The day came for Don Black to visit the Shen family officially to welcome and introduce business to Jin Shen.''These little Shen boys, always making me go over to pay homage to them, should it be so?'' Don Black asked his guard as he sat up on his desk, waiting to leave for the Shen.His guard didn't reply, he knew that he didn't have to.Don Black was not asking for his opinion, he was just thinking out loud. ''Boss, it's time, let's go,'' the guard said to Don Black. Don Black got up abruptly from his chair. It appeared as if he was in a hurry to get the task over with. It was written all over his face that he was nervous. Don Black picked up his handgun and tucked it into his breast pocket on his way out. He had to be on alert as much as he could. The drive to the Shen complex was the shortest Don Black had ever ridden. How come we got here so fast? It's usually never like this,'' Don Black complained. ''Keep it together, boss,'' Don Black's guard, knowing that Don Black wa

Marcus was attending to an errand for Jin one day when he was cornered by someone wearing a mask. From the sound of the person's voice, he could swear that it was Axe, but as the saying goes, ''no face, no case,'' so Marcus could not hold it against Axe later on.That night, Marcus had attended a meeting on behalf of Jin who had traveled out of the country for a family commitment.Marcus was asked to handle every single business in the city, as far as Jin Shen was not around.It pained Axe to his marrow that instead of him, Jin Shen had chosen Marcus.And to think that Jin Shen was not even supposedly remorseful for the fact that he demoted Axe, pained Axe the most.No courtesy. According to Axe, Jin Shen should have done him the honor of at least informign him that he was going to give Marcus his place because Marcus knew more about the already standing Shen family business more than anyone, even more than Jin Shen himself. It was understandable, but it was rude, and Axe felt insu
