Raul, along with a few people, were waiting outside. They were merrily talking and laughing when it happened. It was supposed to be a peaceful talk, but suddenly gunshots were heard; it was only a couple at the beginning.

" What was that?" Raul asked dumbfoundedly.

" We don't know. Maybe the leader is trying to scare him a little?" One of them was hypnotized.

" But I don't have a good feeling about it." Just as he said it, another barrage of shots was heard. It lasted for quite a while; maybe a couple hundred rounds were fired.

Many people got scared and took cover, a stray bullet was no joke, but they were fine as the walls were thick. Now, he was sure something was wrong.

His suspicions came true when he heard loud groaning and grunting noises from inside. It was so loud that people gathered before the mansion to look for what was happening.

Everyone, from women to children, stood, looking for answers. People in charge started shouting at them.

" What are you doing? Get back to work!"

" That brick ain't going to cut itself! You don't cause panic!"

" Boss, someone in the counting department is making a dash!" one of the thugs pointed to a frail man running in the distance.

" Keke, it is better to teach them with example. Gather them up after this!"

" Yes, boss."

The boss he was referring to was the person guarding the door. He readied his handgun and aimed at the running man. The man was desperate to escape, but his body was so weak that he had trouble running.

The guard took aim and turned the safety off. He can see the man in his crosshair, but he doesn't get to fire the shot.

It was sudden, but the door behind him broke as a body flung out with intense force. It collided with him as he got buried under three hundred pounds of flesh and bones.

" Monster."

"Run away!"

People screamed from inside as they tried to run out the door. Samuel quickly subdued them; it happened in the blink of an eye; the people guarding the door couldn't even do anything!

'Eight people, huh? One armed.' Samuel looked at them while surrounded by a pile of bodies. He hadn't killed anyone yet because quick death was an easy way out for them.

The person closest wielded a dagger that threatened Samuel's vital points, but he swiftly dodged even those attacks. Not only that, he immediately counterattacked and punched his opponent's neck.

Catching the falling dagger, he threw that in the direction of the armed enemy to quickly incapacitate him. He fell to the floor, holding his arm dripping with fresh blood.

"This bastard!"

"Kill!"

There were no more peaceful talks; under the gaze of onlookers began a one-sided massacre of the whole group.

Samuel was a predator that threatened to devour them all. Even when they rushed from all directions, they had no numbers advantage. They fell one by one as Samuel pounced on them like a tiger.

Puck!

Kwadang!

The last remaining man was thrown like a rag doll on the nearby table. The complex table shattered, and the man passed out on impact. Just to make sure, he kicked him in the face without hesitation; it resulted in the man spurting blood from his nose as he rolled around.

His body drooped on the floor, showing little signs of life. Whether he would be alive or not was his concern.

"Is it over?" It ended too fast. All the men who rushed to him were unconscious. There were two more left.

" I know where you are hiding. I will not hurt you because I respect your father, but it is different if you ever try to cross me again." It was directed at Raul, who was shuddering with fear in the corner.

" Now then." He looked inside the door. He had left the best dish for last.

Beaten with a beer mug, Felipe looked up at him with a blood-stained face. He just woke up to witness the mess Samuel had made within a few minutes.

"You-why are you doing this?" He struggled to get up. Samuel punched him again and dragged him outside for everyone to see.

"Why? Didn't you bring me here? If you are asking why did I visit this place and why did I attack you guys? If I hadn't done that, you would have attacked me." Samuel chuckled.

The face Felipe who was already terrified, suddenly changed when he saw Samuel sitting in front of him with a chair. It was because he felt like this person in front of him had completely changed into a ferocious demon.

But he couldn't act like a weak little thing in front of the public, so he cried out loudly to threaten him.

"We are Ocho Nueve! Even if I die by your hands, my comrades will avenge me. Wealthy? Family Power? Status? Do you think something like that can protect you? You're welcome! You, along with others, are, after all, human beings just like us. The reality is that even the body of a rich brat like you will have a hole in it and scream like a pig when stabbed with a knife!"

"Maybe, but it won't save you today."

"Yeah, kill me! We are not afraid of death." Felipe was displaying some unexpected resilience. That may be why he was the leader of this place.

Hearing him, Samuel's smile widened. The more he struggled, Samuel became convinced that he was hiding something. He already had an inkling, but it was time to get some proof.

"Yeah, I wanted to meet a guy like you. A person not afraid of death will keep his mouth shut even if tortured and will hide information somehow. A guy like that would know some valuable information." He paused, and just as he expected, Felipe's face changed hearing him.

" Since I came here, I feel something very wrong about this place. Looking at you, you are not the ringleader of this whole operation. After finding the ledger, I will get my answers.

" L-ledger? How did you know about it?"

" So there is one!" It was shot in the dark that paid off.

Samuel stood up and looked around.

"Let's check it out now. You are such a strong person who does not open his mouth to threats. I am sure you will not tell me where it is?" he said in a calm, subdued voice.
