"And yesterday, when I saw Alice's condition like that, Sunny's face kept spinning in my head. I was afraid that Sunny would also become a child-" Troy stopped himself again, "I can't imagine Sunny's fate will be like Shine's, sir! I won't be able to see that,"
"Not to mention my brother's psyche who could have tried to kill himself when Alice left him. I'm really scared, sir!"
"I don't want the terrible incident of the late Brother Arsen and Sis Iris to repeat to Alice! I don't want to!"
Troy had been holding back his grief so hard since yesterday, and this time he couldn't hold back the tears that kept urging him to let out the sadness.
The embrace on Troy's shoulder from a stout hand made him turn to the owner of the hand. Lily smiled at him.
"Our Rose has risen from the dead many years ago. God will not call her again because Rose is such a fussy woman. God will not want to hear her scolding when she protested God's decision to make her leave her children, husband, and brother. Rose will rage in heaven when she was forcibly pulled to leave us, hahaha!" Lily laughed after telling a joke that sounded terrible.
"You guys are mad mafia. How can you joke like that at this time, sir?" Troy protested against Lily with an astonished face and tone, "But why do I like hearing this joke of yours, hahaha!" continued Troy who laughed even though his face was still wet with tears.
"But, even so... I am very grateful to have known and have a family relationship with all of you, sir. You are great people who are not afraid of anything! I have great respect for you!" Praise Troy.
"Hey... keep your compliments so high! Who told you we weren't afraid of anything?" Lily half grumbled to Troy, "Do you want to know what I was most afraid of after I became the mafia?" continued Lily asked.
"Yes, of course! What are you most afraid of?" Troy answered by turning the question around again.
"Family..." Lily replied with a serious tone and expression and at this time Lily turned to the door of Alice's room.
"After I became a mafia. I was never afraid to die. I was not at all afraid if suddenly an enemy bullet could pierce my heart or brain."
"I've never been afraid if one day the enemy's long sword or sharp dagger stabbed me repeatedly until I died."
"The thing I fear the most is if one day I have to see one of my family members turn a blind eye in front of me... I feel like I want to die after chopping up the cause of my family's death!"
Troy was stunned to hear the confession of the great man beside him at this time.
"The thing that I regret the most until this moment is when I saw Lion's cold body lying quietly in front of me. But, even though I was very sad and devastated, where should I look for the cause of Lion's death? I can't kill a disease that even Lion himself can't treat the pain. Who should I kill then?"
"By God and whatever in this world. I was helpless at that time!"
"And now, when I see my other sister lying helplessly like that, I guess I have to endure the madness again, huh?"
Lily said as he flashed a sinister grin as he turned to Troy.
"I won't let the person who harmed my dear sister walk on the earth any longer. I'll chop his body with my sword and let it rot and dry until nothing remains!"
"I won't let that man bury him in peace even if he's dead!"
Troy's body froze for a moment when Lily, who was originally joking, now shows the cruel side of the mafia to Troy.
Even though it was only through words, the hatred that was so big was very visible on Lily's face.
[hit head]
A hard smack landed on Lily's head. Troy who was initially scared now almost let out a laugh right in front of Lily and his brother, Sky.
"Why did you even scare him, huh?! You idiot!" The sky grumbled at Lily before turning to look at Troy, "Hey, little young master... don't listen to my stupid brother's ramblings! He didn't mean to scare you with his story!"
Troy didn't answer. Troy could only nod his head slightly while smiling awkwardly.
"You go home. Rose is getting better. Maybe tonight she'll wake up after Samuel's anesthetic wears off. Go home and rest at your house!" Sky said to Troy.
"Hey, disobedient brother! You just wanted to tell him that but you hit me on the head so hard, huh? Do you know, that punch of yours hurts, huh? What a shame!" Lily cursed Sky's actions in front of his brother. But Sky didn't get angry at all or protest against Lily's nagging.
"Then who else will accept my annoyance if not you? Lion doesn't exist and there's no way I could hit my sweetest sister like Rose. Only you are the right target for my annoyance, Lily!" Sky smiled as he spoke so casually like that.
Seeing the interaction of the two brothers in front of him, Troy felt he saw himself and Sean when they were fighting.
Troy was also not the first time to see jokes from such great people. Alice was the one who brought this rare event into sight by Troy.
Sky is the first son adopted by Mr. Black Jack, the supreme leader of the mafia organization called Black Dragon, and Lily is the second son of Mr. Jack. Followed by the late Lion, Sunny's adoptive father who has died, in third place, and Alice who they changed her name to Alice is the only daughter of Mr. Jack as well as the youngest child he adopted.
Alice is also the niece of Mr. Jack's late wife, Jasmine. So, Alice is the favorite child as well as the dearest sister to Sky and Lily.
Following the steps, discipline, and teachings of Mr. Jack, his four children became formidable mafia leaders, including Alice even though she was a woman.
Troy had known them for years. What kind of ruthlessness they had in killing their enemies, and what kind of affectionate relationship they had as a family, Troy was well aware of that.
So Troy was not too surprised if, in Alice's sad state like this, the atmosphere around her became noisy.
Seeing their close cohesiveness and brotherhood convinces Troy that the mafia is indeed very cruel but people like them whose lives are far from calm, are human too. The same human as him has a heart and feelings. Especially in Mr. Jack's mafia family.
However, it was the first time that Troy had seen the suppressed anger of Alice's brother.
If Troy had goosebumps hearing the anger of a Black Lily, how about the anger of a Black Sky. Troy couldn't imagine that.
"Master Sky, may I go in there? I want to see how Alice is doing, sir!" Troy tried to distract himself from Lily's terrible anger by asking about Alice.
"You better head home first. Look at you. I know you didn't sleep all night worrying about Rose. I was right, weren't I?" Sky answered.
Troy was gloomy again. Why was everyone still blocking him from entering Alice's room, even though her condition had improved?
"Go home and rest. Take a shower and change clothes full of Rose's blood. I can't help but want to kill when I see my dear sister's blood drained from her body,"
"Please get out of here and don't show Rose's blood in front of me, little young master!"
When Sky uttered such calm words, Troy's neck seemed to be choking so hard he could barely even breathe. Even swallowing his saliva is very difficult.
Sky's anger was scarier than when he heard Lily's words earlier.
"You hit me on the head and protested what I said to him, but you scared him even more! You bastard!" Lily grumbled to his brother. Lily turned to Troy at this point, "Listen to my brother or you'll be the target of his anger. He's a madman!" Lily said to Troy which made Troy sit still petrified.
"Take Sunny with you. My men will follow you!" Sky said in a calm tone as his gaze fell on Alice's infirmary door.
"I know, sir. But how do I get Sunny if I'm still not allowed inside?" Troy ventured to ask.
"Lily, Sunny is sleeping inside. Just pick it up slowly and let little Young Master take him home!"
Without answering and just nodding his head, Lily immediately got up and stepped into Alice's room.
After Lily entered, the atmosphere around Troy seemed to turn cold. Sky was silent but Troy's feelings were already crazy. After Lily appeared to come out carrying Sunny who was fast asleep, only then did Troy exhale heavily.
