Chapter 12

★★★ HUNTERS CLAN ★★★

In the dark and treacherous underworld of the Russian Mafia, there existed a clan that struck fear into the hearts of all who dared to cross their path - The Hunters. This notorious group was known far and wide for their ruthlessness and power, making them a force to be reckoned with in the criminal underground. They operated in the shadows, pulling the strings of the criminal underworld with an iron grip

Among the various rivalries and alliances that existed within the Mafia, one particular clash stood out - the Hunters versus the SCARLET SCORPION EVO X. While the Hunters wants reign supreme in Italy, the emergence of the SCARLET SCORPION EVO X posed a potential threat to their dominance. Despite numerous attempts by the Hunters to take down their rivals, the SCARLET SCORPION EVO X proved to be a formidablep opponent, leading to a tense standoff between the two clans.

Within the shadowy confines of the Hunter's headquarters, an imposing structure that loomed over the cityscape, an air of secrecy and danger permeated the atmosphere. The building itself was a fortress, heavily guarded by masked sentinels who patrolled the grounds day and night, their eyes cold and unyielding. As one approached the entrance, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed ominously, serving as a warning to all who sought to challenge the might of the Hunters.

Once inside, the interior of the clan's stronghold revealed a world of opulence and menace. The grand halls were adorned with intricate tapestries and gilded furnishings, a stark contrast to the violent nature of its inhabitants. Servants clad in minimal attire, wearing only pants and bras, moved about the premises with silent efficiency, their presence adding an unsettling aura to the already foreboding environment.

Despite the lavish decor, an underlying sense of dread lingered in the air, a reminder of the power wielded by the enigmatic leader of the Hunters - Lord Ace. His identity shrouded in mystery, Lord Ace was a figure of myth and legend, spoken of in hushed tones among members of the clan. It was said that he never attended meetings in person, instead choosing to communicate through a network of speakers strategically placed throughout the hall, his commands carrying the weight of authority and fear. His voice boomed through the room, commanding respect and instilling fear in all who heard it. His orders were absolute, his word law within the clan.

As the members of the Hunters gathered for their clandestine meetings, their faces hidden behind menacing masks that concealed their true identities, a palpable tension filled the room. Each member knew their role within the clan, their loyalty unwavering in the face of danger and betrayal. The sense of camaraderie and shared purpose bound them together, forging a bond that transcended mere allegiance.

Amidst the shadows and whispers of intrigue, the Hunters stood as a formidable force in the criminal underworld, their reputation as fearsome as the beasts from which they took their name.

To become a member of this clandestine group, one had to abide by a set of rules that were as cruel and unforgiving as the clan itself. Failure to adhere to these rules would result in a fate worse than death - being burnt alive or torn limb from limb and thrown into a pit filled with a deadly acid known as Sulfuric Acid.

1. Rule of Silence: Members of The Hunters Clan were forbidden from speaking about the clan's operations to anyone outside the organization. Violation of this rule would lead to immediate expulsion and a gruesome death.

2. Rule of Loyalty: Betrayal was not tolerated within the clan. Any member found to be disloyal or working against the interests of the clan would face swift and brutal punishment.

3. Rule of Obedience: Disobeying orders from higher-ranking members was a grave offense. Those who dared to defy authority would suffer the consequences in the most agonizing manner possible.

4. Rule of Secrecy: The activities of The Hunters Clan were to remain hidden from the authorities at all costs. Anyone caught revealing sensitive information would meet a grisly end.

5. Rule of Sacrifice: Members were expected to put the interests of the clan above their own personal desires. Selflessness and devotion to the cause were paramount.

6. Rule of Brutality: Acts of kindness or mercy were seen as signs of weakness. To prove their loyalty, members had to demonstrate a willingness to commit heinous acts without hesitation.

7. Rule of Fear: Instilling fear in the hearts of the clan's enemies was a primary objective. Members were required to carry out acts of violence and intimidation to maintain their reputation.

8. Rule of Discipline: Any form of insubordination or unruly behavior would not be tolerated. Punishments were severe and designed to strike fear into the hearts of potential dissenters.

9. Rule of Retribution: Those who crossed The Hunters Clan would face swift and merciless retribution. No enemy of the clan was safe from their wrath.

10. Rule of Death: Ultimately, every member of The Hunters Clan knew that death was an ever-present reality. To be a part of this brutal organization meant accepting one's mortality and embracing the darkness that consumed them.

Currently, all the members are gathered together because of a man called Shadow, whom left his captive to escape alive causing a huge loss in the Clan but the girl has been killed by the second leader known as Keal.

" My Lord, Shadow broke rule number 6 and now what will be his punishment?" Keal asked, awaiting orders from Lord Ace. A loud groin echoed through the speakers, sending shivers down their Spain. Shadow broke into a cold sweat, even the mask couldn't cover the nervousness in his eyes as he awaited the punishment of his actions.

" Shadow? Do you care to explain?" Lord Ace's voiced beamed through the speakers. His thick voice alone made Shadow pee on himself. Shadow looked down and saw that he has wet himself, Keal on the other hand felt a Phong of guilt but it's for the best or else he will be the one to die.

" No my Lord. What I did was wrong and I deserve any punishment coming my way" Shadow uttered dryly, knowing that pleading for mercy will only make matters worse.

" Keal and Rein take him to the den and let the acid to it's course. Make sure he doesn't die, bring him out and let the vultures feed on him alive" He ordered coldly again. Shadow's shoulder slumped , he quietly removed his mask revealing his face to DARRELL GOMEZ, the Vice president of Asia. He joined the group for protection, power and wealth and now his life is gone. What will happen to his children?!

Keal and Rein ushered him into the den, where a sense of foreboding hung heavy in the air. The orders were clear and chilling - to let the acid run its course, ensuring that he remained alive. Shadow's heart sank as the words echoed in his mind, a cruel fate unfolding before him.

With a heavy heart, he complied, knowing that his survival was now in the hands of those who sought to destroy him. As the acid seared through his veins, a wave of agony washed over him, threatening to consume his very being. Yet, amidst the torment, a glimmer of hope flickered in the darkness.

★★★★ SCARLET SCORPION EVO X ★★★★

Smith lay on his bed thinking about the deadly secret Scarlet talked about before leaving, when a bitch walked into the room with fear written all over her.

" Strip" he commanded with anger. Could it be that she knows what he did to the triplets family before claiming them as his own? If it's true, then how did she find out cause he sure to clean up every trace leading to the case. " I don't want to repeat myself bitch!!! Strip and go the dresser NOW!!!!" He thundered dangerously, glaring at her like he would pull her head if her body. The bitch shakingly pulled off her dress and ran to dresser. The rest is history and hours of hellish sex as usual.

Diego lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, his mind swirling with conflicting emotions. He couldn't shake the sudden attraction he felt towards Scarlet. It was a feeling unlike any he had experienced before, and it left him both exhilarated and confused. What should he call this new emotion that had taken hold of him?

As he lay there, memories of his childhood with Scarlet flooded back. They had grown up together, training side by side for as long as he could remember. Scarlet had always been a fierce and independent spirit, often choosing to train alone or with Dracula, their mentor. But now, the thought of them being together made Diego's stomach churn with jealousy.

He couldn't understand why he suddenly felt this way. Was it just him? Did Scarlet feel the same pull towards him, or was he alone in his newfound emotions? The uncertainty gnawed at him, leaving him restless and unsettled.

Despite his inner turmoil, Diego couldn't help but worry about Scarlet. She was currently in Russia, on a mission that had taken her far from home. He wondered how she was faring, if she was safe. But deep down, he knew that Scarlet was more than capable of taking care of herself. She was a force to be reckoned with, a devil in human form.

Feeling overwhelmed, Diego reached for his phone and dialed his friend in Asia. As the call connected, he took a deep breath, preparing to share the latest developments in his life.

"Hey, Alex," Diego greeted his friend when he picked up. "I need to talk to you about something."

Alex's voice came through the phone, filled with concern. "What's going on, Diego? You sound troubled."

Diego hesitated for a moment, unsure of where to start. "It's about Scarlet," he finally began. "I don't know what's come over me, but I can't stop thinking about her. I've never felt this way before, and it's driving me crazy."

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Alex responded. "Are you saying you have feelings for her?" he asked, sounding surprised.

Diego sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I don't know, Alex. It's all so confusing. We've always been friends, but now... I don't know how to explain it."

Alex listened attentively as Diego poured out his heart, sharing his innermost thoughts and fears. Together, they dissected Diego's emotions, trying to make sense of the tangled mess that was his heart.

By the end of the conversation, Diego felt a weight lift off his shoulders. Talking to Alex had helped him gain some clarity, even if the situation with Scarlet remained as perplexing as ever.

As he hung up the phone, Diego resolved to confront his feelings head-on. Whatever this new emotion was, he knew he had to face it, for better or for worse. And perhaps, in doing so, he would finally uncover the truth about his relationship with Scarlet.
