DEAL BREAKER

Obviously they preferred to be alive and getting more money than what the cat offered. Divide and conquer has never felt sweeter! Now to get back at the cat.

"Ma'am. "One of the guys calls out handing me his phone.

My eyebrows scrunch in confusion. I wonder who it could be. But I take it anyway.

"Hello? "

"You might want to hurry it up and get out of town. I've sent a chopper. Tiger wasn't too happy when I last saw him. We need to flee as soon as we can. " Feng says urgently.

"But we can't run. I have to face him again and make him pay for everything. " I protest.

I'm no coward. Not going to let Tiger have the last laugh.

"And you will. You are no good running after him blindly like this not knowing what he's got on you. It's easier to ambush him when he won't where where you will attack from. Let's go missing for a few days as we strategize on how to go after him. I have already sent your men to the great rift. My men know their way so let's get you to safety. "

He makes valid points but all I feel is a kind of irritation. Why does everyone else around seem to plan everything for me. I am the boss. I should be the boss. But I can't help feel lesser than a right hand man.

Everyone is playing a game here and so am I but all the rest of the players see it except me. I'm just there. Weak and useless. Maybe I need some break after all. I definitely need that break.

The sound of a chopper landing on the roof of the building breaks my raging thoughts. We all run towards it. Good thing it's a big chopper so we aren't very crowded in there the seven of us plus the pilot.

I need time away from everything to process it all up. It's been a crazy few days. I think I've lost my mind already but nothing too serious, I'll get it right back. Just a few days of hopefully peace and quiet and then I go after the cat.

His throat I'll slit open myself. But torturing him to his death sounds more appealing. I want him to feel all the anger I have built up the past few months because of him. I want COLD SIZZLING REVENGE!

The chopper ride is short lived when we have to get into vehicles to a remote place. The area is more bushes than houses. Good! This way we won't be seen by many people who may want to gossip about strange people living in a house in their area.

Infinity won't come all the way here asking for us so we will be okay for now. But even soldiers who retreat from the battle field to live and fight the next day go back to it. We have to go back and face Tiger.

We have to fight and defeat him. I have my vengeance that I seek. He's got my assets too which pisses me off the more. I still can't look Livo in the face without having to restrain myself from throwing a knife right at his jugular.

It's all my fault for being so stupid and trusting. I should have heeded father's advice . I'm in this position right now because I let my guard down. They were to me after all a 'boy band that mugged people to eat '. Didn't think they could do much damage to me.

I fell right into the trap Tiger set for me. Then he said something about my mom being a mole. Must have set a trap for her too. He is conniving I have established. More than what we gave him credit for.

But no matter, I'll outsmart him. Beat him at his own game.

Right now I only have one thing to deal with before taking a long refreshing nap. I walked into the massive kitchen a minute ago. I've been standing by the door. There is two men and then Livo in there. My focus is on Livo. He has a big bowl of butter on the kitchen counter top that he is whisking. I think it's for pancakes or something.

I walk up to him noisily and scrunch my nose going as far as placing a hand over it. He obviously turns to look at me pausing the whisking.

"What did you put in that? It smells so awful! " I say dramatically acting like I would throw up any second.

"What? I don't smell anything... " Livo responds wafting the air over the bowl towards his nose.

"Maybe you have a cold. Sniff it closer you'll smell the goddamned odour of I don't know what you put in there. " I tell him still dramatically acting completely grossed out.

He has his eyebrows scrunched in confusion for a second. But he rest both his elbows on the counter to either side of the bowl before lowering his face to sniff. So I tug roughly on his left elbow causing it to give way and his face goes right into the batter. He takes a second before slowly lifting his head but I forcefully push his head down so he stays in the batter.

I move closer to his ear and whisper.

"Every second I see your face all I want to do is kill you with my bare hands. Rip off limb after limb. So don't just sit there making pancake batter like you own the place. I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for you. After Tiger is dead and Infinity wiped out of existence, you and I are walking our separate ways. I should never had fed the stray dog! "

I leave him to ponder on that. I wish I could have drowned him in pancake batter. I hope he got my message though!

I hate back stabbers and they don't get to walk around, talk, laugh or make pancakes.
