Into The Devil’s Heart

A frown appears on Wendigo’s smooth face as he stares at the statue girl who seems to be oblivious to what to do.

“Pick up the spoon” he orders.

Audrey stayed still as though she wasn’t the one he was talking to. This act of hers only infuriated his anger, never had he been looked down on like now.

Wendigo slams his hands on the table so hard that the plate vibrates in response, “Audrey!!!” He yells in motion, standing on his feet.

Audrey was taken aback by his sudden anger as she shivered in response but her heart was too strong to give in.

She stood her grew, staring at his head not caring for her life.

Wendigo had always seen her to be submissive and fragile but guess people change.

The little kitten he watched trembling on the stage doesn’t look like one anymore, the looks in her eyes speak of things unfathomed. Daring and ready not to be bent.

He opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted by his lead guard.

“Boss, your ..” The man was cut off before he got to say the word

“Who the fuck gave you the right to relay matters to me in a time like this?” Wendigo asked angrily to him, eyes ready to kill.

“I’m sorry, Boss, thought it’d be better to inform you now” the man apologizes, head lowered.

“Sorry for yourself” Wendigo grumbles in irritation, turning his attention back to the small figure before him.

“Speak!” He orders.

“An invitation from the MFLs(mafia Lord) to you requesting you resume the position as the Supreme Don. They are in demand for your presence, Boss” he informs.

Hearing him, Wendigo sighed in relief and satisfaction. His sour mood wasn’t completely gone but the news was enough to make him feel accomplished.

He takes in a deep breath and glances at Audrey from head to toe before he turns and leaves.

Of all the things he’s plotted and tried to achieve, all were successful.

He knows for sure that there isn’t anyone more suitable for the position than him.

He gets into the already-readied car, it drives away in no time.

They arrived at their destination in no time, As usual, the guard rushed and opened the door.

Wendigo steps down the car with so much pride, positivity, and certainty. He walks into the tall building, heading to the top floor.

Everyone was seated patiently waiting for him, and as soon as he got seated, a man spoke up.

“What took you so long to get here? I remember we all were informed about our meeting today” He said.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Wendigo gives him a dagger-like stare before turning his attention back to the other, “I answer to no one!” His tone was bold and firm.

“You dare not disrespect your elders!” The man interjects finding him rude and offensive.

“Else what?” Wendigo raises a brow, staring at each one of them their old and crooked faces.

“I wonder why y’all think I’ll knee before you seeking for approval!” He snorts.

“How dare you, little brat?” The man yells, pointing angrily at Wendigo. He didn’t budge, nothing bothered him.

” Little brat! ” Wendigo mutters under his breath, a smile forms on his face as he leans back in his seat.

“Don’t underestimate me, I may be little but enough to take you, you, you, you, you and you, down! ” He points at every one of them, making himself clearer.

” Is that a treat to us? ” The oldest member speaks up.

He smiles and arranges his shirt, “I don’t see it as one, rather, I’m being so generous to inform y’all”

“I am the next Don! ” He proclaims.

” Says who? ” The oldest member requested.

” Oh, I forgot. You are the oldest and it’s your right to take after the previous Don” Wendigo makes a sad face, ” so sorry, Dino, I’m too selfish to let it slide this time. Not after all my hard work ”

He stands up arranging his suit, “If any of you isn’t ok with it, get your old butt out of this building while I’m being nice and generous. No one stands as Don except ME”

He informs and walks out of the room leaving everyone stunned by his sudden proclamation.

” Is he mad or something? ” One of the Mafia Lord demands, confused as hell.

” He surely is and needs a mental asylum. No one in their right mind will dare underlook six Mafia’s without a stink of fear” Another spoke up.

” He is daring! ” The man who welcomed Wendigo with a question didn’t seem to want to accept.

“Calm down Max, he’s just bluffing. You know he can’t do us anything” Dino tries to calm him down.

“He’s such a brat and I want to teach him a lesson” Max pressed on in anger.

“Listen up everyone, there is no way we will let someone like him command us, not after what Cannon did to us. Because they are young, they think we old people are brainless, and they just keep doing what they want. It’s high time we show them that we aren’t old for nothing, that the grey hair they see adds to our wisdom and knowledge more than they could ever imagine” Dino speaks up.

The other members nod in agreement, “Yes, it’s high time we stand up and take full control. I’m pretty sure, he is a more easier to crack as compared to Cannon” One of them adds.

“He is, nothing but an empty vessel” another adds.

They all nod in agreement.

“Talking about Cannon, who did he suddenly vanish into thin air? ” One of them demands.

” That’s none of our business, all we should be doing is be thankful for whoever fought our course and defeated him,” Dino said.

“But, don’t you think it’s a call for concern? Whoever that person might be, he has us in mind which means we should be extra, careful” He pressed on, seemingly worried.

” You are right, but we can’t defend ourselves of what we know nothing of and what it looks like. I proposed we do an underground research to know who exactly is responsible ” Dino proposed.

” That’s better, at least we should be knowledgeable and get to prepare ourselves well against whatever is coming” They all accept.

“This is the end of our gathering, for now. We’ll meet here in our next gathering and remember to keep focus on any incoming arrow. Wendigo is a Psychopath and we do not wish to let our guards down and cry on later” Dino speaks up

” And you whoever that’s big enough to take down Cannon, we should all be well prepared for battle at any time… Just in case ” he ends.

With that, each of the Mafia Lords exited the room to their various destination.
