The Devil's Touch
#08
It's been a few days since that night. Elena was much calmer and professional than before, the woman had also told the father that she was fine. And the father did not mind Elena's decision the middle-aged man instead understood the attitude of Elena who wanted to calm down from their family quarrel. Whenever Elena would come back she would welcome him with an airy heart.
The Cyanola Cartel, the most feared dark organization in Italy. The dark organization founded by Maximilian, the man was the ruler of all rulers. 'The Don' that's his nickname. A leader of all leaders, his orders are indisputable.
Here, in a white mansion that dominates becomes the goal of Elena and Maximilian. Elena stared at the magnificent foreign building ahead, there was such a curiousity lingering in the depths of her heart.
The towering gate in front of it automatically opened when Maximilian's car was in front. The car door opened, the woman followed Maximilian in her soaring curiosity. Foreign buildings around him became the center of attention. It was as quiet and gloomy as Elena felt, her hair bristling as it passed through the room that was closed behind the white door.
"Sir, where are we now?" ask Elena. The woman attempted to equate her steps with Maximilian's. The man's level legs made Elena difficult to equalize her steps.
"Headquarters." Maximilian stopped his steps in front of the white hallway. The tulip painting was touched. The floor suddenly shook, the floor which was originally in the form of ceramics was open and displayed some stairs that led down.
Elena looked puzzled, but not long after that the look on her face changed. Wow, a basement. He had no idea that Maximilian would hide his members in an underground room. Interesting is what he thought.
"Where'd you get an idea like that, sir?" Elena admires the way Maximilian's brain works which she thinks is amazing. Just this time he saw someone keeping their members in a secret room.
"Follow where I go, don't ask too many questions! Talk if needed, remember that." Maximilian was caught off guard by Elena's attitude, the woman always spoke up from now on. That pisses him off.
Elena closed her mouth tightly. The woman felt bad, did she talk too much?
"Sorry sir." anyway, he only asked because of his high curiosity but the reaction shown by his boss was really excessive. It sucks, but he has to stay professional, remember just two years he worked with the man. It was only two years, so he only needed to be patient for these two years.
Elena went down the stairs slowly, her blue eyeballs moving wildly around. Apparently there are many people dressed all in black down there, they all look busy with their respective activities. Some are practicing shooting, archery, etc.
"Welcome Master." one of those who saw Maximilian's arrival immediately ran to greet his boss. The black hat and suit that Maximilian was wearing made him realize, no one else wearing a black hat with a gold dragon carving other than the master.
"Hm, where's Guido?" Maximilian cleared a short throb. The man looked at his men with a peeking look. His unusual voice made the man feel intimidated.
"Guido's in the armory, Master. Do you need any help?" the man tried to act calm, despite feeling intimidated by the Master's gaze.
"I want to meet Guido, Made. There's something I need to talk to him about."
"Okay, Master, do I need to deliver?" 'Made Man' is the lowest rank in a mafia family. They are called according to their rank, the lowest must respect those above it and so on.
The door of the room opened, Elena could see the number of weapons neatly arranged there, from ordinary to deadly. There were so many questions in his brain, but he was reluctant to ask. Because I saw the boss' reaction.
"Wow, who's the woman you're carrying is a master? Is she your lover?" Guido smiled faintly. He was no longer surprised by the door being opened without knocking, it was definitely the Master's habit. The man was quite surprised by the woman behind his master but easily the man returned the look on his face.
"He will join your men and help him prepare" said Maximilian coldly. His tone sounded serious and his gaze was able to intimidate any interlocutor.
Guido turned his face aside, not wanting to meet the master. He knew the master's gaze was like a knife ready to draw out his eye sockets.
"I don't need a new member of the Master. Too bad a woman is as pretty as herself if she had to die." Elena clenched her hand when she heard Guido's words that seemed to mock her. Goddamn bum! He's not that weak.
"Don't argue with me Guido! Do as I say." His eyes flashed with anger. He did not like it if the person he chose was underestimated.
"I'll test him for a week, if he succeeds I'll recruit him." Guido looked at Elena with a peeking look. He so wanted to know how great the lady the master brought.
"Capore!" shouted Maximilian. It was enough, his patience was exhausted to deal with Guido's childish attitude.
Capo is a high-ranking person from a mafia family who heads the 'Kru' army and has significant status and social influence in the organization.
Elena touched Maximilian's shoulder. "I accept it!" he said it coldly. He hates being underestimated the most, his whole life of being a hitman has never been anyone to underestimate his abilities.
"Interesting." Guido chuckled briefly. He felt fascinated by Elena's attitude, the woman the master brought looked brave and not weak, he liked that. To be a member he did not need someone weak.
"Sorry Master, it seems I have misjudged it. I'll accept it and if in one week there's no progress I won't recruit him."
"Hm. I think you miss my beloved rabbit Guido." Maximilian smiled cynically. Guido's pale face looked attractive in his eyes.
Guido swallowed his saliva roughly. The feathers bristled for a moment. Oh No! He did not want to be with the master's mad rabbit. Who is crazy to name the ferocious animal as a rabbit except the boss.
Elena looked dumbfounded at the conversation the two men had. What's wrong? what to fear about this funny animal.
"I'll accept it your Master need not worry, I'm sure within a week the ability of the woman will be more perfect" said Guido quickly. The man tried to look calm, even though his heart was beating faster than usual.
