Somewhere in South Africa

On a typical sunny day, a young boy of about eight arrived at the park with his mother and older sister. Little did Sebastian know that his life was about to change dramatically starting today.

"Come on, Seb, it is time to get our belongings and head home," Selina, Sebastian's older sister, called from a distance.

The little boy sat under a tree near the lake, playing with his toys. Her mid-length grey summer dress was fluttering in the wind. Selina, who was ten years older than him, was like a second mother to little Sebastian. He lifted his head and smiled warmly at the shouting figure.

"I am coming!" he said as he quickly gathered all his toys into a basket. Sebastian then moved quickly towards his sister. He was dressed in black shorts and a bright red Iron Man t-shirt.

Selina was standing next to a mediocre white car, leaning on the door. She kept a bright smile on her face all the time. She wrapped him in a bear hug after he obeyed like a good brother.

"Good boy!" she complimented gleefully, and Selina gently tousled Sebastian's hair. The little action made the young boy happy. His spirit was as bright as the sun itself. His heart swelled with joy as he received compliments from his adoring sister.

"Hurry up! Kids, we are going to be late," the two were lost in their little moments when they heard their mother's dreadful voice.

She urged her children to get in the car right away. Her polka-dot shirt was already soaked in sweat, and she was wiping her sweaty palms with her blue jeans, which became slightly dirty in the process. Her black hair was in a tangled bun over her head, and sweat had caused filaments to adhere to her face and neck.

Sitting in the driver's seat, she gripped the steering wheel so tightly that her fingers turned white, and a look of anticipation crossed her face.

Sebastian and Selina could sense something was wrong. They detected fear in their mother's tone.

They jumped into the car and immediately joined their mother. She started the engine as they exited the park.

Meanwhile, she kept checking her phone as if she was expecting a call. Her anxiety grew with each passing minute.

Her hands felt clammy, and she struggled to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel.

Midway through their journey, their mother noticed a black car following them in the rearview mirror. She accelerated their vehicle, determined to escape their pursuers.

After a short while, the black car collided with theirs, jolting them repeatedly from behind.

The force of the impact threw their vehicle out of its lane. Despite their mother's valiant efforts to regain control, the wheel slipped from her grasp, sending the car down the road and into the woods.

Following the blow, the white car became unbalanced and collided with a large tree, leaving a significant dent on the hood and smoke billowing from the front of the vehicle. The car had come to a stop in the woods.

The mother desperately turned the key multiple times in an attempt to restart it, but her efforts were futile, exacerbating her panic.

The black car was still chasing them, so the trio decided to continue their journey by walking through the forest.

"Come on! Step out, kids, we have to run!" she exclaimed, and the three of them dashed out of the car in an instant. They chose to flee into the forest, realizing the gravity of their situation. The entire wooded area was densely covered in vegetation and large rock stones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As they dashed into the woods, the deafening sound of bullets echoed through the trees. The assailants fired repeatedly from the windows of their moving black car, aiming for the trio.

Finally, the black car came to a stop, and all three men jumped out, continuing their relentless barrage of gunfire while pursuing them.

The trio desperately avoided the hail of bullets and sought refuge to secure a haven. Both children were running ahead, clutching their hands tightly, while their mother shielded them from behind.

Their efforts left them gasping for air and drenched in sweat, but their determination was unwavering. During their arduous struggle, one of the assailants successfully apprehended the mother.

"Go! Run, kids! Run! Do not stop just because of me. Selina! You must save both yourself and your brother, so run! As much as you can-" their mother screamed from the man's grip before he quickly covered her mouth, suffocating her voice.

The sight devastated both children, but they summoned the courage to follow their mother's instructions and flee the scene.

"Catch them! I do not want a single 'king' to live on the surface of the earth," a short man with a denim jacket and piercing blue eyes yelled at his subordinates, who immediately obeyed.

They pursued the children with zeal, but the agile youngsters quickly evaded their line of sight and hid behind a large rock.

They remained hidden from the men's predatory gaze for the time being.

"Hey, you little bitch! huh? Come out with your little bastard brother or I will end this bitch's life," the man threatened, and his audacity terrified both children.

Selina and Sebastian were hiding behind the rock, watching his every move through a crack. Their attention remained focused on the scene in front of them.

When the short man did not get the expected response, he became frustrated. In a fit of rage, he violently slapped their mother, resulting in a piercing scream heard throughout the area.

The children, visibly trembling from anxiety, sought comfort in each other's embrace. Selina clutched her baby brother tightly, whispering soothing words into his ear despite her fearful demeanour.

Selina's mind raced in search of a solution, but the thought made her break out in a cold sweat.

"Stay here, Seb, and do not come out no matter what. Mom and I love you the most, right?" She instructed her little brother, and young Seb simply nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood the dire situation.

Selina summoned all of her courage and slowly approached the man, saying her last words.

Her eyes revealed a hollow emptiness, and she was willing to make a sacrifice for her brother's life.

A sinister grin spread across the man's face as he took pleasure in watching the girl take his bait and fall right into his trap.

"I must say, Roberto has a beautiful daughter, a replica of his wife," he commented, and they temporarily forgot about little Seb. The man's eyes were filled with intense desire, and he disturbingly licked his lips.

He examined the girl from head to toe as she approached him, and her mother burst into tears. She understood what was going to happen to them. Within moments, the men had dragged the girl and her mother to the waiting cars.

Their piercing screams echoed through the surrounding woods, and young Seb watched everything unfold from behind a rock.

Seb wanted to yell at the men who were torturing his sister and mother, but a hand over his mouth muffled his protest.

His face was filled with tears as he witnessed his sister and mother being raped and murdered right in front of him.

Despite his desperate efforts, he fought with all of his strength to free himself from the man's grip. However, the man's grip was too strong for his small frame.

He raised his head, hoping to catch a glimpse of his captor, and his eyes widened with surprise when he recognized the face as his father's.

His father's men reacted quickly, attacking the intruders. The blue-eyed man mysteriously escaped and fled the scene.

However, it was too late to save both women; they were dead, with their bodies hanging out of the black car. Overwhelmed by the immense pain, his young mind could not comprehend it all, forcing him to collapse into his father's arms.

When he awoke the next morning, he found himself in an entirely new environment: an intensive training facility.

The traumatic event he witnessed had a lasting psychological impact on him, changing his personality forever.

The once innocent Seb into the infamous Mr. Sebastian King also known as The Mafia King, The God of Death or The Lucifer of the Mafia World.
