Chapter 100

Connor Flashblack

Bones’ eyes flick over to me and his face takes on a grim expression. He sighs and claps me on the back, knowing and understanding how I feel about this without me having to say a word. The current fight ends and the winner walks over to the table that’s been set up to collect his money along with everyone that bet on him while a man drags the other body to the back of the room and throws it on top of the growing pile.

The floor at the center of the room is covered in blood and bits of flesh at this point and there are at least eight bodies in the pile. I look at Vito and see him tip his chin down in a slight nod, telling me it’s time for me to step up. I blow out a breath and walk forward, coming to a stop on the line that’s been drawn on the floor. It’s barely visible now under all of the blood.
