" You stay out. The boss asked him to go alone." Two people stopped Raul at the door.

" What? Why?"

" You can ask the boss later."

" Che! It looks like I will miss a good show." Although annoyed, Raul obliged. He didn't know why Felipe didn't want him inside, but he must have a good reason for it.

" Hehe, Enjoy your stay. I will see you on the other side." Raul said his parting words and left.

" Bienvenido, Bienvenido, I hope the ride here was comfortable?" Samuel heard the man's voice as soon as he entered the hall. Felipe Fernandez, the group leader, was smiling from ear to ear while looking in his direction.

Samuel was surprised to see his appearance; Felipe was a short man with a thin body, but what was most surprising was his age; he looked pretty old, maybe around forty. What was he thinking, chasing after girls half his age?

Did he have no shame? Or was he that confident in his looks? No matter how Samuel looked at him, he had no redeeming quality about himself. Maybe it was his charm that he was the boss.

" I am sure you are surprised, but you can speak; they will do nothing to you," Felipe said as he glanced across the room. It seemed it was a custom to line your subordinates during meetings as it was the same as Enrique's welcome.

" I am not worried about them. I am surprised to see a person like you in charge of this place." Samuel spoke his mind. It might be harsh, but he had no reason not to offend him.

" You mean this? It's not my task to look tough." Felipe didn't take any offence. It looked like he was used to getting such looks.

"Besides, even the strongest people in the world are nothing in front of this." He flashed a massive gun in front of him. The weapon appeared to be a custom as it shone golden brilliance when met with light.

That's Magnum Research Desert Eagle. Most of the really powerful handguns come in the form of revolvers but not this bad boy. The 50 AE is likely the most powerful handgun cartridge in a semi-automatic pistol." Apollo exclaimed as soon as he saw it.

" So, it's bad news?"

" It's for you to find out, but it will be a challenge, so stay on your toes!"

" Never seen a firearm before?" Felipe asked, seeing he was not responding.

" I was just surprised. It looks like a great handgun."

" It is! Hopefully, I will not have to use it today. So tell me, what is a Rothschild member going for these days?" The atmosphere changed in an instant. Felipe wanted to take the initiative.

"I thought I was here to do business."

" We are doing just that. What is your life worth, or are you too stupid to understand? Seeing as you came here alone, I think it is the latter case." Felipe laughed as he said it, which also made his subordinate chuckle.

They had been in the business for years and had never thought that one-day such fat prey would be slaughtered voluntarily. Felipe was incredibly hostile toward Samuel, knowing he was messing around with Liliana.

" hahaha." Samuel laughed, seeing such a good show. He casually walked and took an empty seat just opposite Felipe. The smile never left his face, which puzzled everyone present there.

" Oye, Oye... Is he gone mad? Boss, you should be careful around little kids! Keke."

" his face changed when he looked at the boss' gun. Maybe he got weak in the knees like a little girl!"

" Right, that's why he is running to sit down. Haha"

Under the verbal obscenities of the mobsters, Samuel kept looking at Felipe. They didn't know, but he thought about what to do with this place after cleaning it up. He was the epitome of a multitasker!

" Are you guys done? Tell me this, then, why are you going after Liliana? I will decide after listening to it."

" Look at him? You are our lucky charm, so I don't mind telling you. What's the best way to weaken your enemy? Take care of the able-bodied men first! I already have his eldest son in the palm of my hand; sooner or later, this whole area would be mine." He emphasized.

" Isn't it only fitting that the princess would go to me? After all, only she is fit for that role. So what, I already have a wife who dares to oppose me? I agree. I was a little angry when I got the news of you and Liliana getting together, but now that you are here, I can finally satiate my fury!"

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ " Your midget ass surely has some vivid imagination. Alright, I have decided. Those who want to live kindly kneel down; I promise I will be lenient with your punishment. For the rest of you, get ready to meet your creator." His voice was low, but it sent chills down everyone's spine.

Releasing his killing intent, he instantly became like a death god looking for souls to reap. Most people were rooted in their place; they had never felt anything like this.

But few could move under the intense pressure; they were not hardened criminals for show. After going through numerous life-and-death situations, their fear resistance was relatively high.

" You dare!"

" What's happening? I can't move."

" Me too!"

" Boss? What should we do?"

" Boss?"

They tried calling Felipe, but he was in the worst condition. He was sweating profusely while looking at Samuel's menacing face. It looked like he was all bark with no bite.

Getting no response from him, the mobsters decided to take matters into their own hands. One of them shouted to uplift their morale.

" We don't know what happened to the boss. Open fire! Even his dead body would fetch some dough!"

" He is right. We don't know what he did, but he is definitely the one causing it!"

Now that senior members had spoken, those who could move quickly switched off the safety of their firearms. Assault rifles, handguns, and even shotguns started bombarding everything in Samuel's direction.

Seeing no change even after firing a few rounds, the people who gave orders earlier exclaimed once more.

" Unload everything! It must be something on his body that is causing this. Destroy it!"

They emptied everything in Samuel's direction. One section of the room was peppered with bullet holes, and their vision got obscured by dust clouds. After waiting a few seconds for it to calm down, they inspected where Samuel was sitting.

They were expecting to find a bloodied mess, a body that couldn't be recognized, but what came into view was a nonchalant Samuel sitting in the same chair. Everything around him was destroyed beyond recognition, but somehow he was fine.

There was no scratch on his body or the space around him. What the hell?

" M-monster!"
