Chapter 80

Going back to the city, Nai was getting ready to open the door of the next stage of her own plan. Wearing black from head to toe just like a mafia and a Leo, with soft eye makeup, sharp eyeliner, and red lipstick to add some strength and confidence to her look, or that what Ice said

"Oh, this is ridiculous. Am I going to meet the mafia leader or my boyfriend?" she said while looking at her final look in the mirror

"It looks good on you, and it would show them how confidence and strong you are to meet them with red lipstick and black high heels", Ice said

"Yeah sure, you are not the one who will climb a mountain with high heels that are already hard to even stand up with", she said, then she took a deep breath after putting the lipstick down, and went out calmly.

Nai took her motorcycle even though Ice asked her to take the car. Driving super fast through the city with her straight black hair flying behind her like waves, then finally, she reached the place she will meet the snake at. She walked majestically even though her feet were about to cry as they were not used to wearing heels at all, with a steady calm face that showed no fears, and sharp eyes that reflected her Leo heart.

"Nai", she shouted after she finally reached the top of the mountain, yet nothing happened at all. She started feeling heavy and she pressed on her fest, yet once she turned around, a man was standing there with the sun that just rose up behind his back, making him a mare shadow blocking the way of the sunshine, and giving her a feeling that he wasn't human.

Nai heard rustling sounds coming from behind her, yet she didn't even bother turning around to see what was there as she already knew. So many mafia members were slowly surrounding her while her eyes were hung on that man only.

"You didn't die as I can see, I wasn't wrong about you, young lady", the man said, then he slowly walked towards her, making his face finally visible after being in the dark, yet what she never expected was that he would actually hug her out of the blue.

"Everybody else, go now", he said while hugging her, however, she was way too stunned to speak as this scenario never crossed her mind unlike thousands of other possible scenarios

"I'm glad you were smarter than getting poisoned", he said

"... are you.. the mafia snake?" she asked

"Yes sweetie. I'm the mafia snake, and I'm the one who sent you the message. How did you know it was poisoned?" the man said with a smile full of energy

"Well.. I. I actually..", she stuttered, yet he patted her shoulder softly and told her that she doesn't have to answer that question.

"Let's go now, we have so many things to discuss as tomorrow is your important day", the man said, then he walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back, and she followed him silently

A strange man, with a majority of gray hair mixed with some black hair, wearing a suit that wasn't able to hide his fit body, and walking calmly in front of her. Nai stayed calm, while she was screaming inside. Is that him? Is that really the most dangerous man in this country? how the hell is he a mafia leader when he seems like a young grandfather? she thought, yet a soft sound of a tree branch breaking cut her thoughts and brought her back to being focused and steady.

Down the mountain, a Lamborghini car was waiting for them, with several men guarding it.

"Please enter sweetie, we will take care of your motorcycle, and I will take you home myself tonight", the mafia snake said warmly after opening the door for her, and just like that, Nai was going through the city with the mafia snake beside her yet without any word.

Her uncle was the only thing she thought about this time. His expressionless yet lovely face, his cold yet warm words, his hard yet soft hands, the way he treated her like his own daughter, the way he trained her and taught her how to live, and lastly, his death.

"Why did you become a mafia member, a young lady like you should stay away from dangerous things", the mafia snake said

"I am a dangerous thing", she said

"Well, I actually know that, it isn't easy to get a letter from me, you know. I kept an eye on you all that time, and you actually surprised me a lot. You are really a professional killer, oh oh the way you shoot the target from the first try is my favorite part of your missions, when did you learn that?" he said energetically

"I trained since I was young, and you can also say that I have a natural talent, the same talent that is telling me not to believe you at all", she said, sending a spear into that man's heart while he tried his best to keep a smiling face

"You will believe soon, sweetie", he said, looking at her with the same smile yet completely different energy, a dark energy this time, however, it felt much better for Nai to stay with him while he is showing his true form instead of that lovely one that didn't suit him at all.

Nai and the mafia snake arrived at a huge building with flours she couldn't even count. The car stopped on a red carpet and two men opened the car doors for him and her, then he offered her his arm to lead on yet she got out of the car and walked on her own.

Everyone bowed while Nai and the man walked through the building's huge hall, going up a fancy stairs under a golden chandelier, and finally, reaching a room where three maids were waiting

"This is going to be your room, sweetie. The maids will help you with everything including getting ready for tomorrow. Sleep well, you will need a lot of energy", the man said while the maids were still bowing, then once he left, they opened the door for Nai.

She entered the room calmly, then she took off her high heels and laid on the big comfy bed that was in the middle of the room, however, the maids' eyes that were hung on her didn't let her relax.

"You may go now. I need nothing", she said, using the tone of a young lady, a tone she used in the past when everything was perfect

"We are not allowed to leave, it's the snake's orders", a maid said calmly

"That man…", she murmured, then she got out of her bed and walked towards the door, however, all the three maids blocked her way, holding swords and pointing them towards her. Nai laughed softly as she could clearly smell the poison that covered the swords, a poison she already took several times in doses enough to cover the flour rather than three swords only, furthermore, she could clearly see the maids shaking, most likely because they heard the rumors about her already. She walked towards one of them, the one who seemed the bravest, she held the sword, letting it cut her palm a little and letting the poison into her blood, then she whispered "did you really think that this small amount would even affect me? how stupid", looking straight into that maids eyes, and sending chills over her spin to the point she fell to the ground.

Once she opened the door, the mafia snake was already outstretching his arm to open it.

"Oh, I was about to..", he was saying, yet she didn't give him a chance to continue as she walked past him angrily yet calmly, however, once she walked a few steps after walking past him, she found herself surrounded with men holding pistols towards her

"You, are going to spend the night here, I never gave you permission to leave", he said calmly

"Who said I was leaving? I came here to meet the mafia snake as he sent me a message, I have nothing to do with an actor like you, and did you seriously think that I would lose against those stupid maids and these men, haha", she said

"Defeat them then, and I will take you to meet him", he said

"Ok, there is no harm in training a bit before meeting him", she said, then she flipped the man nearest to her to the ground and broke his shoulder. She took his pistol, and put it in her pocket, then she beated the other three men easily.

"Your men are so stupid, they may have huge muscles but they have no brain. Now take me to him", she said calmly, pointing the pistol she took from that man towards him.

The man smirked devilishly, showing no fear at all even though a pistol was raised towards him. He put his hands in his pocket, and walked past Nai calmly

"Go to sleep now, tomorrow will be very long", he said

Nai knew at that moment that there was nothing to do, so she decided to wait for tomorrow's sun to melt the ice surrounding this new stage of her life and mission, and she went to sleep at the net of the snake himself.
