"I don't know what it was, but did you explain the situation to her?"
I expertly dodged Bria's question and went straight to work, having no time to dwell on the past.

"I think we should send few of our men to do the research on his men who supply the girls. After we have information that we need, we will get straight to work.

This will require Bria's help because according to my intuition, they do everything on computers and save the information in heavily encrypted files. We just need a way of getting into it and once we are through, everything that bastard does, will be in your hands."

Luca elucidated to me in a simpler parlance which I understood and smiled sinisterly. He thought I must have forgotten him and his misdeeds by now, but what he doesn't know that I have been living this life only for him.

"Yeah, and once we get all the information, I can become one of his pimp's girls and get closer to him,"
Bria said making me jump out of my seat.

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you out of your bloody mind?"
I roared at her while Luca remained silent, which aggravated me more.

"And why are you not saying anything? You are her fratello, dammit!"

Luca was still silent for a few more moments and then nodded his head as if he came to a conclusion and had taken a decision. He was always like that - never lost cool, and always had a lot of patience.

Every situation that he faced in life, he never once broke character - his character being that of an idiot, carefree and rich pervert who could not stop thinking about girls. But God bless all those who fell for his stupidity and failed to see that it was just a facade - a mask under which, was hiding the most ruthless and sadistic devil you will ever see.

"I think we should let her do what she wants, because-"

He started to give me another one of his stupid reasoning but I couldn't hold it in. Was he being serious right now?

"Luca, we don't know what that man is going to do to her. How can you think that that plan would work?"

"It will, and let me complete my sentences,"

Luca said. I saw that he was getting annoyed. Good. I thought I would never see him getting annoyed or upset.

He continued,
"It is a good plan because she will bring us to him. We will be easily able to track him down and we will have the assurance that she won't betray us, which we can't have with any other girl."

He explained further. He was being practical but I still could not see eye to eye with him. I couldn't do it, not because I didn't trust Bria, but because I didn't trust him. Torturing people was his favorite hobby and if we were even a little bit late, or our plan held any loopholes, I don't even want to think what he would do with my Bria. That was what scared me the most.

But again, business is business and we cannot always have the luxury to choose what we want and what we don't, so I decided to quit fighting for it and take a decision for the WildCats, as their boss. I turned to them and said,

"Okay then. If you have faith in this plan, then go ahead. I now give the reins to both of you, so don't mess up in any way."

(Luca's POV)

It's already 12 am. Where is that punctual man? It was quite unlikely of him to be even a minute late. If he ever gets late, he will literally destroy the cause behind it, whether it is a thing or a person. I hope its not a person.

That was the personality of Tiger King - my best friend since childhood. His real name is Alesso Armani King, but he prefers to go by Tiger, which is the name given to him by his father. To be honest, that man is a little bit cracked in the head. That's the only sane explanation anyone can come to, in the case of this insane WildCat.

He has had an extremely rough past, and the only reason he is living today is because of revenge. He wants to take revenge for every little injustice that was inflicted upon him and his family, and there is no doubt that he will succeed. This is the motto of the WildCats - once we set our minds to do something, we will go straight towards it, and will not stop until we have achieved our goal. Anyone who tries to become an objection in our path, will be thrown away and crumbled to pieces so that he can never raise his head again.

As soon as I looked up from my table, I saw him finally come in my view... but with a girl hanging on his arm. Judging by his face, he seemed pissed.... and ready to kill the girl any minute if she didn't stop flirting with him. This is where I come in - his patient and charming best friend.

When he took his seat, the girl also took a seat beside him. I knew how much he hated clingy girls like her. Normally, I would have taken the lead from here because I love all girls, but tonight was an important night, so I simply told her,

"Can you please leave? I understand that you feel he is a really good catch, but I know him better, so this is for your own safety."

"Huh? Why do you care?"
Then the idiot turned to Tiger again,
"Baby, what is your friend talking about? Can't you tell him to leave?"

"Okay listen here,"
I was losing patience with her because they could be here any minute, so I decided to pull the most effective card.

"He won't ever be interested in you. Why? Because he swings the other way, alright? Now, I would like you to kindly take your leave."

"WHAT?!! No way, I don't believe you. Baby, is this true?"

Tiger gritted his teeth and sent me a death glare. I just smiled cheekily because I knew he is going to be thankful to me afterwards.

"Y-yes. Yes, I'm... not interested in girls whatsoever."
He said, with great difficulty.

"Omg, I can't believe this. I can't believe you. I can't believe this universe. Why make such a fine specimen if I can't even attract them towards me?"
She huffed like a spoilt brat and went her way, making me inhale deeply.

"What a troublemaker you are Tiger. You never look at girls, but still manage to create a stir among them wherever you go."
I smirked at him.

"We will discuss this after I finish this meeting. For sure."
He said, still glaring at me.
He knew I was right and wouldn't do anything to me, but he was still mad that I played such a trick.

"Whatever. But now, we talk about business. Nico and Andrew are very reluctant to go through with the terms and conditions they agreed to earlier. They now want a sixty percent share in every profit, which is a very large share compared to forty percent."

"Hmm... so they wanna play with me. Alright, let them come. I'll listen to what they have to say."
Tiger said nonchalantly, while I smirked. I knew when he was this nonchalant, anyone who caused it should be scared for their life.

Betraying him and going back on your word were his two biggest points where he could get instigated to the extent that he could kill someone. And we were definitely prepared for their last day today.

Just then, I saw both of them entering. Nico and Andrew were twins, and sell drugs that we supply to them, in exchange of a share of the profit. But now that they have accumulated some power, they are acting up and have forgotten that they still are working for Tiger, and that he is and will always remain the boss.

They saw us in the corner booth and approached us.

"Long time no see, boss. What an honor to see you here."
Andrew said, with a stupid crooked smirk on his face, feeling proud of himself.

He was always like that, hot-headed but stupid. And talked a lot. Maybe that's why Tiger never liked him.

"Sit down. We have business to discuss."
Tiger said, always straight to the point.

"Wow, you're exceptionally rude today, boss. Did we... make a mistake?"
Andrew said, while Nico remained quiet. He was the silent bomb in this duo.

"We'll have to conclude whether you have made a mistake or not right here."
I stepped in, a scorn on my face.

"Oh come on Luca. The boss is not even saying anything, why are you being so restless?"

"Nico, I think you have forgotten that you agreed to giving us sixty percent of the profit and even signed on the papers. What is the reason that you are going back on your word?"
I asked him directly after I got a signal from Tiger.

"That was a long time ago, brother. Now, things are different. We have clients of our own and suppliers too. Why do you think we would still give you that much profit?"
He said, smiling at me as he smoked his cigarette.

That bastard. So that was what he has been doing all this while. Trying to cut us off in our own territory. A laugh escaped my lips at the thought.

"And who is the unlucky bastard who decided to meddle in our affairs?"
I asked him.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Oh right! Don't tell us. It might put him in danger."
I taunted him.

Nico was about to say something when Tiger silenced him with a raise of his finger.

"I don't have the time to see you two argue about this bullshit. I don't care about your supplier as long as you don't mess up the contract. You will only do business with me because you handle my area, and I won't give permission to anyone else to take my area away from me."

"Well, if you can decrease your share to fifty percent, then maybe we will think about it,"
Andrew said, cocking his head at Tiger.

So this was the plan. They never had a different supplier. It was all a lie that they weaved to decrease our share. Oh, he's so gonna get it.

Tiger was silent for a while but under the table, I could see that his hands were shaking. He was barely holding it in. But finally, he regained composure of himself and agreed with them,

"Alright. If that's what you want, then I will do it."

"What? You... you are just going to decrease it? Without a fight?"
Andrew was surprised now, not expecting this reaction from him.

"Why, do you doubt my every word now?"
Tiger asked him, to which he shook his head.

"No, we don't. But, thank you so much for considering our predicament. We will give you the fifty percent share of the profit in this month and last month too."

"Give it, then. "

"Here,"
Nico gave me a medium sized briefcase, which was no doubt full of dosh. I took it and went outside under the pretext to keep it in the car.

Time for some action now.

A few minutes later, both Nico and Andrew came out of the bar, feeling so full of themselves. Those idiots. If only you knew who exactly were you messing with. They had reached the basement of the building and were heading towards their car when suddenly our men pounced on them.

But those bastards were quick. Looks like they had already expected us to act like that and so, some of their men quickly surrounded Tiger, who was behind them.

A gun was pointed at both of them while another was pointed at Tiger. Things were tense, and we didn't know what to do.

"Shoot!"
Suddenly, Tiger shouted.

"What?!! No, I can't do that!"
I said.

"Do as I say Luca. Shoot them."
He said again.

God this man is crazy. How can he just say that, even thought we are taught to not value our life, but this honestly wasn't worth it.

I looked at my men and gave them the signal with my eyes. They were about to pull the trigger when the twins' men started shouting,

"NOOO!!! Don't kill our leader! We will kill you!!" And decided to run towards the twins.

In this confusion, Tiger took the opportunity and kicked the man holding the gun hard, making him lose balance, while he elbowed him in the chin and broke at least two of his teeth with one blow. The gun went flying to the other side of the basement.

The twins also broke through and Andrew charged at me, thinking he could beat me.
I dodged his first two punches with my legs as I flew in the air towards him and kneed him in the face. We both fell down and he immediately attacked me by putting me in a chokehold, but I picked up both of my legs and hit him hard in his back which made him loosen his hold. I took that arm of his and bent it to the side, twisting it till it broke while I kept his body away from me with my legs.

I saw to the other side where Tiger was fighting with Nico. Both of them had bloody noses while Nico had blood on his forehead too and Tiger held a broken glass bottle in his hand.

"You think you can beat me?"
Tiger roared, his voice resonating throughout the basement making each and every man present in here, shaking with fear.

He then swung the bottle again and cut Nico's face with a deadly swipe, and Nico dropped dead to the ground. He had already been beaten black and blue while their other men were also heavily injured.

He then took out his gun from the pocket and looked at it.

"You bastards, you think it's easy to live in this world while betraying someone? I don't think so. You have to pay each and every penny you take from someone, and this world won't let you stay still, I won't let you stay still, unless you have payed me back."

And with that, he shot both of them in the head, instantly making them pay for their deeds.
