"Okay." Cody response was sharp and immediate.

The very reason why Rapheal chose him.

He racked his brain to remember the address while he ran down the stairs.

In his past life, Finns dead body was found four hours after he died.

Long cold. 

"Think. Think Rapheal." There was not much time.

"You. Where are you going?"  Someone called out to him coldly when he reached the bottom of the stairs.

The method of address was normally used by his fake mother. Madame Diane.

 Ever since she realised he wasn't her real child she never called him by his name again.

Rapheal subconsciously frooze in his steps.

She looked in her mid-thirties, but the wrinkles that gathered at the corner of her eye hinted at her real age.

Elegant and graceful like she had never suffered a day of hard work in her life.

With no time to give a damn, he walked past where she was sitting elegantly on the couch without responding.

Her eyes pinned on him and the hatred in them was almost tangible.

"I am going out." Rapheal replied.

"No. You can't go anywhere. Dante will be tried from work in the evening. Go pick him up." She ordered rudely.

Yes. That was just how unreasonable she was.

"I am busy." Rapheal threw indifferently as he walked past her. 

"What are you.....! How dare you ignore me? I am talking to you! You...."

Her voice faded behind him as he exited the door. 

There was more important matters to worry about.

"Near the sea...probably a port." Rapheal eyes gleamed as he slowly pieced the report written by the police the. "Right! I remember now."

He dug out his car key, hooked it in his middle finger and spun it around. A cold, blood-thirsty expression on his face.

In this new life he was given, no one is allowed to hurt those close to him.

★★★★

By the sea port. Eastbay harbor.

In the large warehouse used to store cargos temporarily, before they are deported, a man was tied to chair.

The ceiling was high, with bared windows that let the tiniest amount of sun rays to filter through.

Lone, round, orange bulbs hanged down, sometimes swaying, sending the shadows of the boxes and loads stacked on top of each other dancing in a twisted rhythm.

"I won't ask you again. Where is the fucking package?" A scar face an stood in front of the person who was tied up. Besides him, there were many tall and bulky gang members, all belonging to the same group of drug dealers.

His chance of escaping was less than zero.

"Well you have said that plenty times now....hmmp..." A harsh pain erupted in his stomach as he received a punch and he let out out a heavy breath. He immediately changed his tactic. "I already told you, I don't know. I swear on my mother's grave that I have never seen such a thing before.

"Don't you try to fool me, aren't you one of the dark angel's people?" The scar face man spat. Clearly not believing him.

"Boss you are mistaken. I am just an innocent new intake. I don't even know shit. See, I can even swear on my ancestors. If I am lying may their graves be stroke by thunder until their coffin over turn and...hmpp."

Another punch landed on his face.

An accomplice standing by the side spoke up hesitantly. "Boss. It really looks like he is telling the truth."

The scar face man expression was very ugly. "So we wasted out time."

With blood dropping down from the corner of his lips, Finn still forced himself to talk. "Haven't I been trying to tell you that. You have got the wrong person. I am just a small crayfish. Not worthy of the attention at all."

"Is that so?" A slight smile appeared on the lips of the scar face man. But his eyes were chillingly cold. "Then my apologies. Kill him."

"What? No!" 

Click. He heard the distint sound of a pocket knife flicking open and three goons surrounded him while the main boss and his small circle walked away.

"No. No. I really don't know anything...." Finn struggled against the stong ropes binding him to the wooden chair.

The shouts for mercy was interrupted as the heavy doors of the warehouse was violently kicked open from the outside.

Before anyone could react a figure was already rushing in.

Swift, agile and fearless.

"Who are you..." The gang members were caught of guard. Taken aback by the sight of someone fearless barging into their territory.

Raphael grabbed the person closest to him by the neck, dodge an attack aimed at his back and retaliated by throwing an elbow. Right at the goons face.

The one he was holding tried to break free so he let go then punched him hard in the face. Blood gushed from the goons nose without stop as he collapsed on the ground.

The last person softened, scared from how easy he had handled the others. He waved the knife he was holding aimlessly, wanting to retreat.

But Rapheal didn't give him the chance.

This was the kind of people he hated the most.

Spineless. If you do evil be ready to receive evil.

With two moves he knocked the bastard unconscious.

The commotion was loud and it drew the attention of the others.

Since there were in someone's territory, Rapheal didn't dare to delay. He quickly picked up the knife that fell to the ground and cut the ropes.

Finn was in a state of shock. "Rapheal! You came to save me."

"Shut your trash and move if you don't want to die!" Rapheal wrinkled his nose at his best friend's fawning expression and shoved him forward.

All you know how to do is get into trouble after trouble. He cursed in his mind. Hurrying to retreat. 

Suddenly a loud siren blared in his head. Rapheal stumbled in his steps and almost fell.

[DING! SYSTEM REINITIALIZING....]

[SCANNING....SCAN COMPLETED.

Rapheal's eyes widen in disbelief.

He asked, gesturing for Finn to enter the car."I think so." Finn nodded slowly. "Shouldn't get anything less than a B.""Not bad."

    The next day, the hospital ward had a lot of visitors duringunch time.It was the only time the office day workers could slip out of work. Three people came from the company. The managing director, one senior editor and the ever enthusiastic Ben. "Boss, get well soon flowers." He was holding a big bouquet. "The rest weren't able to come but they asked me to send you their greetings."Fully appreciated." Rapheal was touched as he said. "Just put them on the table.""There is almost no space left." Ben marveled as he tried to pile it on the others that were already there. He sighed. "Boss, you really are very popular."Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then the sound of heels clicking. Rapheal was surprised when he saw who it was. "Madam Roche?""I heard you were in the hospital. Decided to pay a visit since I was around. It is good to see that you aren't doing that bad." She smiled at him, thin wrinkles forming at the corner of her eys. She then looked at the table pile

A chilling silence descended.Rapheal felt the person by the bedside frooze.It took Niko some seconds to adjust to the low after which she saw a strange person dressed in all black, neither looking like a doctor or a nurse but holding a syringe. Her eyes narrowed vigilantly."You. Who are you?" Hearing the familiar voice, Rapheal let out a breath in relief.The intruder hesitated wether to continue or make a run but with this slight distraction Niko had already covered the distance between them.As he made the decision to stab the injection into Rapheal she caught his hand right before the syringe could break into his skin.Her voice was cold as she asked. "What do

    It turned out that what he meant as a sacrifice was his face.Vicent immediately got to work. He took a picture of Rapheal he deemed as pitiful enough. Posting it on their company's socials and tagging a full detail of the full incident of the building collapse and how some people had tried to use it to their advantage.They brought out the information of the woman and in her records it was shown that she wasn't even married! Instantly proving the facts that her words were just made up of lies.Their Pr department quickly paid people to promote the post until it was sitting directly under the one that defamed him.Soon the post was flooded with people.'Shit! I really looked it up and it is true! Am I the only one that feels betrayed?' A netizen that has been following the matter commented angrily.'Isn't this what happens when you believe just one side of the story. Even in the video posted you could tell that she looked suspicious and mostly inciting the crowd.''if she ain't marrie

    Beep...beep...beepRapheal opened his eyes from irritation and was met with a white ceiling.The distinct smell of disinfectant and bleach filled his nostrils.With a glance he could tell that he was currently at the hospital."Oh shit! He is awake." Someone exclaimed from beside him."Do we call the doctor? I will go call him right away." There was the shuffling of feet, then the door opened and close. Rapheal thought back to what happened.Right. Him and the baldy fell from the second floor while fighting and then he passed out. There was bandage around his head and neck so he didn't dare to move rashly. Afraid that it'd pull the wound."Huh...why is he just staring blankly?" A enlarged face suddenly appeared in his vision. Finn stared at him intently then said to the others. "You remember us right? We are your best brothers. CRVF for life?"Rapheal's eye twitched at the reference and he made up his mind not to answer the idiot."I read in the internet that getting hit in the head

    Everyone distanced themselves from it, staring at the scene with shock written all over their face.Even the paparazzi's were too stunned to speak, realizing the seriousness of the matter. "What are you doing? Let go, this is manhandling!" The man struggled as Cody easily restrained both of the man's arm behind his back.He then handed him to the other bodyguards, then faced Rapheal with an unconcealed worry as he asked. "Sorry I came late. Are you okay?""Hmm...I am fine. You came just in time." Rapheal was surprised by his own composure. He glanced at the man and said indifferently. "Hand him over to the police when they arrive."There was no need to ask questions as he already knew that the acid incident wasn't part the Devereux family's plan.Afterall Dante must now know he had knowledge of events that would happen and won't risk doing something so stupid.It rather solified his guess on this person that was working behind the scene.Yet it was terrifying that even until he died
