"Can I know what that extra-work?"

As the sun showed up in the sky, Jin Fu appeared before He Hua's door.

"Good morning," he greeted the two guards and opened the door by himself. Then he greeted Black Centipede, "Good morning, Bro."

The tough man did not show a greeting back. He kept his eyes on the newspaper.

Jin Fu went to sit on his seat. Before he began his work, he said to the bro, "Thanks for finding a job for my friend."

"Don't thank me. Thank Boss," Black Centipede replied and his eyes were kept on the newspaper.

"Okay," Jin Fu nodded, then opened the laptop cover and started his chore.

When the time was 8:45, the door of He Hua's room opened.

Black Centipede quickly stood up and greeted, "Good morning, Boss."

As for Jin Fu, he was not bad. He stood up slower than Black Centipede one second only. Even though he expressed greeting words at the same time as Black Centipede.

He Hua just said "UM" in his throat. Then he slid his body to the balcony where the guard and cook were standing.

Today, Black Centipede noticed his boss was already dressed up before he left his room. The confidant felt about things inside the boss's mind. He peeped his rim of eyes at the young male that was standing next to him then he walked after the boss.

No wait for the call. Jin Fu got off from his seat to the balcony to have a standing next to Black Centipede to accompany the master having breakfast.

While standing, Black Centipede glanced at the Jin Fu. When the young guy turned and saw his senior was watching him, he smiled at him. Same like before, he got back his dying face. Though he did not mind because he knew it was the face-style of the confidant.

After the boss finished breakfast, the cook cleaned the table, then he and the guard left.

Jin Fu was about to claim his suggestion, but Black Centipede cut in first.

"Boss, Bear Gang sent an invitation to you. They will launch a ceremony to welcome the new boss on Wednesday evening next week."

"Their former boss's body is not cool yet, they are aggressive about making a new boss," He Hua said.

"They are shameless."

"What about other gangs?"

"They are also invited. I think most of them will attend."

He Hua wagged his head, "They are wanting to cooperate with Yin Fang to fight with us."

"Let's see how good they are."

"Don't look down on the enemy. We have to be cautious."

"Yes."

"What's about Wolf?"

"He starts his job tonight."

"Good." He Hua noded. He extended his hand to take the tablet from the table to place on his thigh and started touching the screen.

Then Black Centipede remembered something and he reported continually, "I heard Sadie is coming back."

"I have met her at the funeral," He Hua said.

"Our informant informed that her French man was arrested last month so when Mr. Yin asked her to come to Bear Gang, she agreed immediately."

"She has to find shelter."

"She does not come to you because she knows she is not welcome."

The patrol was silent.

"Her return shows clearly that she wants to fight with you," Black Centipede continued.

"You worry?" He Hua said.

"I don't, but like you said we have to be cautious."

"Right. Though it's not her, we have to be careful. Tell our men to take caution."

"Yes."

"Well." He Hua rose his face and found Jin Fu was standing. The boss inspected his staff's expression, he sensed he had something to say, so he asked, "Have something?"

Black Centipede eyed Jin Fu.

Seeing the eyes of the confidant, the young guy was a little bit nervous. He tried to collect fighting gods to come into his body then he uttered, "Can I get my salary?"

The boss and the confidant did not say anything yet. However, the man thought he should give an explanation because he feared they would misunderstand.

"I have reason," he said. "I don't want to get it all, just half or 30 percent of my salary only because I need to go to my girlfriend's father's birthday and I want to buy him a gift. You can cut my salary at the end of the month."

He Hua blank eyes, "You have a girlfriend?"

"Yes," Jin Fu nodded his head.

"Well," He Hua looked his eyes down, then he got a wine glass from the table, "no need to cut. I will give you 10,000. This amount you have to work extra to pay me."

"What is work?" Jin Fu asked.

"When is your girlfriend's father's birthday?"

"After tomorrow."

"Then let's see after that." He Hua raised the glass up to his lips.

"Can I know what that extra-work?" Jin Fu stated.

"No need to ask. Boss tells you to do it, you do. Go back to work," Black Centipede claimed instead of his boss.

"Okay." Jin Fu wagged his head, then left for the inside office.

After Jin Fu left, Black Centipede told, "I go to inform our men."

He Hua dropped the glass on the table and stated "UM" then Black Centipede bowed and departed.

The boss carried on in his seat. Look at his face was not happy.

Eyes of the head of the gang were watching a thing before him.

In the distance, an old factory building stood high in the sky.

From the balcony, the factory was not clear like in mist. Even though, the building's appearance, out and in, was lucid in He Hua's eye-pupils.

Every floor, the wall covers were broken showing stone inside. Door and window had no sheet, permitting wind to blow in and out each hall of the building. Rats, cockroaches, both alive and dead were visible inside He Hua's eyes. Spider webs were on the ceiling. Ants crawled on the wall. Mosquitoes buzz appeared in his ears. Flies were surrounding the dead body of the cat or rat that was full of worms. Smell of dead animals. Taste of bread on the ground that was covered with dust. Also the taste of bone with less meat that was between dog's teeth.

After that, the vision jumped to the image of a young woman about seventeen years old. She wore a school uniform and she was smiling. Her smile was pretty and innocent and she was smiling at him.

Next, things loaded in his eyes like short cut clips of video. Image of the girl was slapped by old man and he yelled at her, "Get out of my house."; image of young man and the girl stayed in bed, naked, then the man said, "I will take care of you."; image of fighting men in a food store, then the girl was pushed to fall on table, and her right cheek was cut with piece of broken bottle, red blood covered her cheek; image of middle age man stood and placed his hand on young man's shoulder and said, "I will get her a good doctor to heal her."; image of the young man opening his eyes seeing the girl and that middle aged man, nude, were kissing on the bed; image of the girl said, "You ruin my life. You cannot blame me for cheating on you because you owe me."; image of the middle aged man staying in the hospital bed and whispering, "Sorry."

Just this, the boss of Sunflower Gang exhaled heavily. His nose wind blew all images away from his brain like smoke was blown by wind.

He stayed at the balcony for longer than usual, then he got into the office-room.
