Day Fourteen With a shrrrk sound, the darkness deepened further. “Hey, isn’t this enough?” Chester shouted from the window. “Yeah.” Isaiah answered without opening his eyes, still lying on the sofa. “Look before you speak, you bastard.” “I know without looking. It’s fine.” What difference did it make whether the curtains he wouldn't even use were hung properly or not? From the start, those curtains had only one purpose: to stop Chester from ever mentioning the…-

Day Thirteen Manny parked the car in front of a three-story single-family house on the outskirts of the city. It was unexpected that it wasn't a large apartment or loft downtown, but still, the modern and sophisticated exterior of the house definitely seemed like Bran's taste. “It’s just the shell. The inside is like something a nouveau riche Chinese person would decorate.” Chester harshly criticized Bran’s interior design taste. “You live in a doghouse.” “What are you talking…-

"…Are you sure?" Isaiah lowered his voice as well. Scarlett straightened up and smiled. "As far as I know, yes. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Honestly, he didn't want to believe it. But the moment he heard the man's words, he knew instinctively. This was probably true. And this kind of intuition was never wrong. "I might not look it, but I have sharp ears." Scarlett said boastfully. Why wouldn't he? These supply guys were the best-informed sources about what went on…-

BIA Ch. 38
That day, after the failures of Thomas Dewey and Rudolph Giuliani, the FBI realized one thing: completely eradicating organized crime in the United States was realistically and institutionally impossible. They chose coexistence. However, La Cosa Nostra was excluded. They would no longer tolerate the Italians devastating America. Around this time, alongside New York, Eloy City emerged as a new hotbed of organized crime. Immediately after World War II, the Italian gang there formed the Eloy Five…-

Chester, from the moment he got into the car, complained incessantly about being late for his appointment. When Manny stopped at yet another yellow light, he finally brandished a gun. “If you stop at even one more yellow light, I’ll shoot you.” “I won’t.” Despite his words, Manny hesitated at several more yellow lights. Each time, Chester flew into a rage but stopped short of firing the gun. Instead, he mercilessly whipped Manny’s head with his pistol. Because of this, Isaiah’s…-

Day Eleven “This is just a residential area.” Isaiah muttered, looking at the houses lined up along the street. “It is a residential area, so?” Manny said, changing lanes, as if it were obvious. “You came here for Aunt Angelina's funeral.” “……” Isaiah didn't reply. He just stared out the window with a blank face, so Manny apologized on his own. “Ah, sorry. I know, but I keep forgetting.” As Isaiah ignored him and continued to look out the window, the…-

Bran didn't show any particular reaction. Could it be that he didn't understand what he said? Even knowing that couldn't be the case, Isaiah tried to explain calmly. "I won't kill you. No matter whose order it is, I won't kill you. I decided that before you even came to my house with that champagne." "How?" Bran finally asked. "You said you wouldn't quit WD, so how are you going to refuse an order?" "That's my problem." You don't need to worry about it. Isaiah said sharply. But Bran…-

“No matter how you look at it, stealing is way better. Reading and rereading the passage that described my eyes until sunset. Whatever it is, it’s less childish than carving the prayer from there onto your body, right?” Isaiah didn’t answer. He was just trying to put on his pants quickly. But they weren't quite dry yet, and to make matters worse, they were tight-fitting jeans, so it wasn’t as easy as he wanted it to be. He finally managed to get his pants on and was putting on the t-shirt…-

As soon as he took off his wet clothes, the chill finally hit him. Should he have dried himself and wrapped a blanket around him? Regretting it too late, he hunched his shoulders, and Bran, who had pulled a chair over to sit, stopped and stood up again. He went to the kitchen cabinet on one side of the greenhouse and, opening the upper cupboard, said, “I do have port wine… but you wouldn’t drink it anyway.” Bran took out an electric kettle from the cupboard. Of course, he also took out the…-

The moment he lifted his head, he met Bran's eyes, a gun pointed at his forehead. "This thing?" Bran pulled back the slide and asked, "Huh?" "Is this it? Little bird?" Isaiah swallowed hard. Bran watched Isaiah, chuckled silently, then briefly gestured with his chin. It meant to stand up. Isaiah did as he was told. "Turn off the flashlight." Isaiah turned off the flashlight function on his smartphone. Next, he expected the order to turn around, but Bran said something unexpected. "Hold…-
