"Manpower and money," I answered.
"Wrong..." he said. "If you only have manpower and money, then anyone can betray you anytime and take over your position," he explained.
"To be considered a true mafia, people must fear you. Whenever you arrive, everyone must bow in front of you. Of course, you need money and manpower, but these things come naturally once you have the power to influence people and the strength to scare anyone who faces you. Once you gain both, that's when you start to be recognized as a mafia." He paused and then questioned us with excitement, "Now then, when a mafia has this much power, then imagine what it takes to be considered the

Million Dollar Chapter 16 - Do me a favor
The next day, I had a doctor's appointment. I went to the bathroom and rested before heading out.Lisa, Drake, and Lucas went to see Michel's body early in the morning. Lisa ordered Drake to burn the body and erase all the traces except his phone. Drake followed her instructions, and Lucas accompanied him. Lisa also assigned two of her loyal bodyguards to keep an eye on Lucas.Around noon, Lisa called me to go to the hospital. As soon as we arrived, I noticed a nurse waiting for us at the entrance. She led us to the doctor's office."Ah, welcome, ma'am. I see you're finally here," the doctor said with a slightly frightened smile."Just examine him and start the procedure already," Lisa ordered before heading to the waiting room.The doctor looked at me with a frown. I initially wanted to apologize for Lisa's behavior, but seeing his expression, I thought maybe it wasn't entirely unwarranted.The doctor examined me and performed surgery. The three-hour procedure was successful. I notic
Million Dollar Chapter 17 - Weapon Dealing
After the meeting with Lisa, Charlie prepared to leave. "I'll be taking my leave now," he announced. "I need to head to Gulfport. Our weapons shipment arrives today.""Excellent," Lisa replied. "Take three or four of your most trusted men with you. Discreetly inquire with the dealer if they've heard anything about the recent situation. However, don't mention the murder or the invasion at the mansion.""Got it. I'll be off then," Charlie said before departing.Lisa turned to Drake, a serious expression on her face. "I think you should visit the Home Minister," she suggested."Hmm, I see what you're getting at," Drake said with a knowing smile. "Perhaps he has some information about this King as well. Alright, give him a call and book a reservation for tomorrow evening. As for today, I believe I'll meet with Sir Grimstone and instruct him on how to proceed."Lisa contacted the U.S. Home Minister's office. His secretary answered the call."Hello," Lisa greeted. "This is Lisa, daughter of
Million Dollar Chapter 18 - Charlie’s Plan
Pierre revealed the pièce de résistance: a long, unassembled gun with a gleaming, metallic surface. The firing hole seemed unusually narrow."What kind of weapon is this?" Charlie inquired, curiosity piqued. "How can a bullet possibly pass through that tiny opening?""This, my friend," Pierre declared, holding the weapon with reverence, "is no ordinary gun. It's a cutting-edge laser weapon, powerful enough to neutralize multiple drone attacks simultaneously.""Interesting," Charlie said, taking the weapon to examine it further. "Tell me more about it."Pierre explained, "The only drawback is its one-minute charging time. But once fully charged, it unleashes hell on your enemies. It can pierce through almost anything in its path and can fire continuously for
Million Dollar Chapter 19 - The Forbidden Weapon
Everyone was focused on Pierre's gang, except Falcon, their leader. He was scrapin' with Charlie in the back. Charlie was looking rough – a bullet grazed his shoulder and he could barely move his left arm. Falcon pulled a blade and charged. Charlie dropped his heater (gun) and went defensive. Before Falcon could reach him, Charlie grabbed his wrist and squeezed like a hydraulic press. Falcon howled in pain, dropping the knife."Damn you!" Falcon roared, punching Charlie in the face. Charlie's nose started bleeding, but it didn't faze him. He wiped the blood and choked Falcon with one hand, lifting him off the ground. Falcon's crew noticed and tried to sneak up on Charlie.Meanwhile, Pierre had his laser cannon charged and ready to rock. He popped up, aiming at the sub. "Signal Charlie!" Pierre yelled. A guard tossed a grenade just as Charlie yelled for it

"So, how about you watch Charlie for now? I'll meet you at your hideout after tomorrow. We can finalize the weapon deal then. And if the intel is useful, I'll buy the weapons at your price," Lisa suggested. "Sounds good. Looking forward to it, milady!" He replied, hanging up. The next day... Drake arrived at Lisa's mansion early. I was in the garden with Jenna, enjoying the fresh air, oblivious to what was happening behind the scenes. When I saw Drake in the car outside, I asked Jenna curiously, "Does he always come this early?" "Nope..." Jenna replied. "He usually comes this early when my lady has an outing." Intrigued, I asked Jenna to take me to Drake. "Good morning, Drake," I greeted. Drake, distracted by his phone, looked up at my voice. "Oh, hey Blurb. You're up early today." "Haha! You could say the same," I countered. "What's up?" "Oh, nothing important," he mumbled, glancing at Jenna. I understood his hint. "So, where are you headed?" I asked curiously. "To the Home M

Drake's eyes narrowed. "Something's wrong," he muttered, suspicion lacing his voice. He turned to Carls, his tone low and dangerous. "What did you put in her drink?"Carls chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Who, me? Nothing at all. You can check it yourself if you want."Drake eyed the wine warily, his suspicions holding firm."Look," Carls continued, "you really should stay here tonight. It's not like I'd do anything to you or Lisa. After all, she is my niece." A harsh laugh escaped his lips."She does seem exhausted," Drake thought. "But we can't stay. We have to meet Pierre tomorrow." He forced a smile. "Thank you for the offer, sir, but we have a tight schedule and can't stay over."Anger flickered in Carls' eyes. "You little-" he started, but Drake cut him off."We'll be leaving now, thank you for your hospitality. We appreciate it," Drake said curtly, taking Lisa's arm and leading her out.It was past midnight when they finally arrived at the mansion. I sat alone in th

"If that's true, then we'll find him and deal with him. No need to fret," Lisa reassured with a steely determination."Now that you've had your encounter, how about we get down to business?" Pierre suggested, eager to shift the focus.Charlie briefed Lisa on the arsenal he aimed to procure for the gang, including the forbidden laser gun whose destructive power had decimated an entire submarine."Interesting... I'd love to witness this laser weapon of yours firsthand," she remarked, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes.Pierre led them through the tightly secured storage room, showcasing an impressive array of weaponry. Amidst the arsenal, the laser gun stood out, catching everyone's attention.Drake swiftly assessed their
Million Dollar Chapter 23 - Betrayal
"So the Home Minister was involved in this as well," Lisa asserted, her tone tinged with disdain."Indeed!" Pierre confirmed with a nod. "But do you know what he did when Peter called him?""What? He didn't pick up the phone?" Lisa guessed."Haha! Wrong again," Pierre chuckled, his tone mocking. "Well, actually, he did pick up the call. And his words were as follows: 'Peter my dear! Out of all people, never in my dreams have I ever imagined that you would do something as shady as this.' And then he hung up the call. That was the moment when Peter realized that he was completely doomed. There was no one to support him anymore, and he surrendered."After recounting the tale, Lisa and Drake were left puzzled. "What? Is that it?" Drake asked, his frustration evident."What happened to him afterward?" Lisa inquired, her curiosity piqued."Patience! Patience, my boy! I haven't finished yet. Just preparing myself for what's about to come next!" Pierre teased."Okay, so where was I?" Pierre m

After discussing the plan, we returned to Lisa's mansion. Exhausted from everything and having lost my appetite after watching that creepy video, I decided to go back to my room immediately.I lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking, "Oh God! How could someone be so cruel? I fainted just from listening to that guy's screams." I shifted positions, "Well, I guess there's no other way. If I want my revenge, I need an iron-hearted guy in our gang."At Lisa's room:Drake entered Lisa's room and sat on the sofa. He pulled out his phone, sent the same guy's image to his group, and asked, "If anyone sees this guy anywhere, let me know immediately.""Huff! I wonder if he'll be able to complete this task successfully," Drake thought aloud."Well, there's no choice. If we want to speed up Blurb's progress, he'll have to face these kinds of challenges. And besides, even if he fails, I'm sure your underling will just finish plan B," Lisa said, emerging from the bath.Drake stood u

Chapter 37 - Person from Dark Web
When we reached the hacker’s home, three people were sprawled out on the ground and sofa, clearly exhausted from overwork. One of them was still sitting in front of a computer. Drake approached him, and as soon as the hacker noticed Drake, he stood up and greeted him with respect. He completely ignored me until Drake called me over. I didn’t mind; the guy looked like he could collapse at any moment. Empty energy drink cans were scattered all over his table.“Man! You sure worked all night, it seems,” I said in surprise.“Ah, yes… That guy’s phone had some tight security, and we almost got exposed once because the police were tracking his phone. So we had to track the police data as well in order to find an opening,” he explained.“So were you able to unlock his phone and get the details?” Drake asked.“About that…” the hacker said, sitting back down in front of his computer.Drake and I stood behind him as he opened a gallery folder and showed us some unusual pictures of Michel.“What

Chapter 36 - Last warning
Approximately fourteen people were approaching us, but after hearing Drake’s warning, five of them backed down. Perhaps it was due to his overwhelming killing aura, too powerful for a normal person to confront. The remaining nine people decided to charge at once. A big, fat guy, wielding a sharp shushikiri, attempted to attack Drake first.Drake's muscles tensed as he stepped back, then he grabbed the fat guy’s hand and started squeezing. The fat guy tried to free himself by attacking with his other hand, but that turned out to be the worst move he could have made. Everyone intending to attack stopped in their tracks when they saw their most formidable member immobilized. Drake effortlessly twisted both of the fat guy’s hands, dislocating his hand bones. The shushikiri fell from his grip, and he screamed so loudly that the others stepped back in fear. Despite this, they decided to charge him again, all at once this time. Drake remained composed, and as they attacked, he evaded and co

Chapter 35 - We don’t need any Guards
Drake arrived to pick me up at noon, and after having lunch, we set off together. I couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion about why I was the one escorting him. I mean, if it’s about strength, then I might be the one who would need his protection, and he’s already far sharper than me when it comes to strategy-making. “Am I developing some kind of inferiority complex?” I pondered, staring out of the window.“Is something bothering you?” Drake asked, his eyes focused on the road.“You know… Just confused as to why I'm the one escorting you. I mean, you didn’t bring any guards with you here,” I inquired, turning to face him.“Guards? Why would we need them? We're just going to meet Lucas and will come back as soon as we're done.

Chapter 34 - Workout with Lisa
The next day, Lisa seemed worked up for the exercise. She wore a different workout outfit and arrived at the garden before me. I approached her, “Good morning, Lisa. You're up early today, huh?”“You dare to come fifteen minutes late and then mock me by saying that I woke up early?” Lisa retorted while stretching.“No… I came on time, what are you talking about?”“Shut up! As a student, it’s your duty to arrive before your teacher.”“Fine! Fine!” I acquiesced and began my basic exercises.As I followed her lead, I pondered how I could convince her to exercise with me. I recalled Drake's advice, though I wasn’t confident it would work. “Well, there’s nothing to lose but a lot to gain. So here goes nothing,” I thought as Lisa and I finished our basic body stretching.“Alright! It’s time for you to run,” said Lisa.“It’s time for us to run,” I corrected her.“Hmm…? It’s just your second day, and you want me to run with you?”“Why? You don’t have the stamina?” I teased.Lisa laughed, “Are

“Say what?” Lisa looked at him in shock. “How did my sister find out about this? Did you tell her?” she asked Marx.“You see the difference between you and your sister now? You might be her elder sister, but she’s way sharper than you'll ever be,” he replied.Lisa clicked her tongue and turned away, leaving the place.“My dear Athena! I wonder how much you've changed in the past few years,” Marx mused, gazing at her photo.Meanwhile, Lisa arrived at the mansion where Drake and I were still engrossed in casual conversation while a maid served us food. Lisa glanced at them before heading to her room to change. Entering the bathroom, she luxuriated in the warm water. “Ah, yes! This warm water is exactly what I needed,” she sighed with relief, though her expression soon shifted to worry.“If Athena comes to the house, it’ll be chaotic here, and the silence of this mansion will be gone,” she muttered to herself. “Well, she's going to stay here for a few days, so I guess I can deal with it.

Chapter 32 - She’s better
Later that day, Drake came to meet me at the Mansion. I was watching TV in the living room, and Rosa was sitting on the other sofa with Jenna. Of course, she was cursing me as usual. When I saw Drake coming towards me, I turned off the TV and stood up to greet him.“Long time no see, sir,” I greeted him and shook our hands.“It’s been a while indeed, Blurb. How’s your leg doing?” Drake asked.“My whole body’s feeling muscle cramps right now,” I said, stretching my body with a painful sound effect. “And you know the reason how.”“Haha, so she decided to train you, huh?”“She’s a demon, bro. I’ve done training before as well, but no one tried killing me with these intense workouts,” I lamented in front of Drake. I knew that Lisa wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I agreed to this willingly. But still, with Drake around, I felt like opening up.“It’s fine,” Drake told me and continued, “Believe me, you are quite lucky if Madam Lisa is training you herself. She’ll make you the person you ne

Hearing Henry say that, Jordan got confused and asked, “What do you mean? You just said that he twisted his neck, and now you are saying that he wasn’t dead?”“Yess…” Henry answered and explained, “I received a phone call from him, and he said that he doesn't remember anything that happened last night. The only thing he knew was that we were taking a hot lady to a hotel room… just hearing his voice made all my tension and anger go away. That was the moment I realized my mistake, and now I just want to apologize to both of them. But there is one person who I don’t want to forgive at all cost.”Jordan listened to Henry and stood quietly. He finally understood what Henry and his father were trying to say to him. Jordan assured him that he respects his decision and would always be by his side, no matter if it’s about revenge or peace. Jordan also told him that he’ll do whatever he can to know about the guy who he wants to take revenge from. And then he left the cabin, leaving Henry alone

Henry also told them about that night’s event but didn’t mention killing anyone. He said, “When we were on our way to a hotel room with her, she revealed her true identity to me and then warned me that if I didn’t tell her about the person who told me to do that work, then she will destroy me. My friend was with me, and she poisoned him just to show that she wasn’t joking.”“So, was she the one who dropped you off at the hospital?” Jordan asked him.“Y- yes,” Henry replied hesitantly.Henry’s father was angry with him after he heard that he bullied someone just because someone mocked him in front of his girlfriend. “I knew you were a fool, but to think that you’d get manipulated this easily.
