Chapter 226 - omerta (1/2)
”I see… I'm looking forward to it.” Leon responded calmly than ever. It was as if all the ominous aura surrounding him for the past year vanished -- just like that.
”Don't,” Seraphina warned yet, her words were repelled by Leon's gentle gaze.
”Don't hesitate this time… boss.” Leon's voice contains relentless affirmation as if to remind her promise that was set in stone years ago.
For some reason, Seraphina's mood turns dull and was displeased by how Leon's perspective and the promise she made a long time ago was still deeply engraved to her peculiar subordinate. Even so, she knew that the day will come to grant her words.
Not rebutting anymore, Seraphina closed her eyes again -- letting Leon stare at her in delight.

Alexander winced in pain feeling the excruciating pain he receive by Seraphina's bullets. Currently, Seraphina was only grazing him yet, the heat that slightly ripping his skin in a lightning speed was enough for him to scream in pain.
”Man, can you express yourself a little?” Seraphina lazily uttered as she scratches her temple using the muzzle of her pistol. Earlier, though she told everyone that she will do the initiation and her brief threat towards Alex, alas, Alexander Han neither protest nor retaliate as if he is expecting the worst.
”Omerta; our code of silence. One must not betray any of the secrets of Luciano famiglia -- under any circ_u_mstances even facing death.”
*BANG!*
”Argh!” Alex gritted his teeth by another bullet grazing his skin causing him to bleed more. No doubt, Seraphina's way of torture was like teasing in a painful way.
With the said rule, Seraphina grazes Alexander Han's arm while she was still sitting on a wooden chair not far away from him. ”Repeat,” she commanded not caring if he recovered with the new wound he inflicted.
”I -- I w--on't!” With great effort, Alex responded yet the moment he uttered his understanding, another deafening noise coming from her handgun resonated around the brightly lit red room. Ironically, most torture room or where initiation was taking place that can be seen on movies are generally obscure adding to the effect. Yet, this particular room was too bright. Alex can clearly see the four corners of the empty room aside from his blood.
