If I hadn't contained myself I am sure people would have exchanged me for someone under the effects of Joker's Gas, I had just become a wizard, without having to turn 30 and still be a virgin, sick.

Taking a deep breath I start heading back to my current place of stay, and of course, I headed for one of the abandoned buildings and used ID creation to head back home without anyone seeing me, you can never be too cautious.

Unfortunately, can't always be easy for me, why you might ask, you just ate for twelve families without becoming fat, you have cool powers, you just became a wizard, what more do you want?

Not finding a fucking gang resting their asses on my "couch", that's what I didn't want.

Fortunately, I had been cautious enough to come out of the ID before actually going inside, otherwise, they would have seen me appearing out of nowhere right in front of them.

My mind started working overtime when my improved perception watched someone resting their hand on a gun, others instead seemed to prefer brass knuckles or knives, put in simple terms, I have no way of coming out of a fight as victorious.

" Ah Mister Finch, we finally meet, it's been quite a problem finding you." The one with the gun said, with a heavy Italian accent, most likely the leader of the 10-man group.

" Can't say the same, Mister...?"

" You can call me Donny, I came here because of an old grudge, now, I am not a person to hold grudges, even more, if they come from a parent, a parent should never put their sons in danger, but a grudge is a grudge, and we always take what it's ours."

My body felt like panicking, but my mind was ice-cold, thinking of any possible way of coming out of here alive.

" Might I ask what this grudge is? If it's money then I have none as you might have seen, if it's my life I am quite sure you already know you wouldn't gain anything from killing me."

" It's not about money, or even about a life, your father made a promise he didn't respect, and now it's your job to maintain it."

Of course, it was that piece of shit that caused all of this, my whole situation is because of him, he just had to kill...

Maybe it had been Saviour Faire, the Profiling skill, or perhaps just my mind finally deciding to work again, my previous passive and weak mentality was replaced by one of coldness and calmness.

Taking a few steps towards the man named Donny, I ignore the other men approaching me, their hands even closer to their weapons.

" I am quite sure you know what my dad did to me and my mother, so let's skip that part, what did the promise entail precisely."

" One year of work under Falcone for a gun."

My mind stopped for a second, I was... I am sure that until that moment my father never had a gun, and considering how he killed himself after using it, they had given him the gun that ruined my life.

I seething sense of anger started filling every cell of my body, if I had been strong enough I would have torn their head and used their spine to impale them and show the world to not fuck with me, but I am not strong, for now.

" So I have to work a year under Falcone is that all?"

Donny laughed, showing his crooked teeth to everyone present, without much of a doubt he took his gun out and pointed it at my head, the cold feeling of the metal against my forehead did nothing to me, my eyes still pointed at Donny's, thinking that if I stopped staring the man would disappear.

" The years have been accumulating Bastardo, so it's more than one year, you will be working for us until we say so, got it?"

Slowly getting my hands up, I spoke with a relaxed tone.

" There is no need to get angry, this a pacific discussion after all, I will do what you say, a promise is a promise after all, am I right?"

The man smiled removing the gun from my head and patting my shoulder with his other hand.

" Happy to see that you understand the situation quickly, I don't want to deal with trash today too, am I right boys?"

Everyone laughed, fueling his pride, making him think he had the power because he had the gun, letting him think that he had me under his boot like a cockroach, requiring nothing more than a step to kill me, but cockroaches are fucking hard to kill.

And I will make you sure you die before I do.

After thinking yes, my mind started working, because my previously without-reason life had just been overturned by just one meeting, I now had a reason to move forward, and nothing would stop me from reaching it.
