CHAPTER 37: Condolence

　　RUBY

　　The murmuring of people stopped after we pressed the trigger. The whole crowd went silent.

　　They all looked at Carter—the man, who kidnapped me and tried to rape me, who was now lying on a pool of blood. His brain was almost out.

　　I became numb as everyone started cheering, "All hail the Mafia Gladiolus King and Queen."

　　Vexon handed the gun back to the blonde.

　　A few mumbled, 'Sorry' including those women who were talking bad about us before we shot someone.

　　"Well, you both have earned our trust. We all are under you, boss and boss lady." Mane bowed and so did others, but my eyes were stuck on the dead body.

　　I killed a human.

　　Vexon grabbed my left hand and started rubbing it, "Your hand is cold. Are you okay, Gem?"

　　I didn't answer him. Rather, I stayed silent.
