The King Is Not in the Mood

Day Sixty-Four…

~~*****~~

Joker brought Marco and Veronica to a secret hideout, provided by Vincent. Veronica started treating Marco's wound. She pitied him because he suffered a lot from the torture. But Veronica was clueless that Marco also received an order from Vincent and Helena to eliminate Abigail that day.

Marco didn't confess nor mention the couple. He made them believe that Veronica was the real mastermind. But in reality, Marco was just following Vincent's order. 

Joker decided to call Vincent, informing him that he was done with his task. "This is the last time I'll comply with your request. I'm free from you now. I returned the favor."

"You became an enemy of the Syphiruz Mafia. Why don't you officially join our organization?" Vincent tried to recruit him. 

"No, thanks," Joker promptly responded. Betraying Syphiruz was enough. He couldn't join another organization because this would add to his guilt.
