Love and Deceit

Still at Pero's gloomy and dirty-looking hideout, Dante stayed mute as he watched Pero make an ass of himself, in his opinion, while the latter communicated the word about Gustavo Rodríguez to Yuri over the phone. Pero had treated Dante like he was non-existent and had strolled a distance from him to place the call through, but not far enough to put Dante without ear shots from him. 


Disappointed, Dante sighed and thought, 'Perhaps this moron is indeed eager to join the rest of his family in the grave. Maybe he has a lasting wish to be gunned down by this no faced psychopath. Else, why would he just take a ridiculous decision like that? Only a lunatic would do that—put his life on the edge like that. Foolish move, Pero. Absolutely stupid.'
