7 A gang war .

Nick was stumped there was nothing that he could say in retaliation to that, since when did the murderers and mafia goons become so educated? He was shocked, so shocked that he completely forgot to look at the traffic signal that has gone green minutes ago.

Romi frowned when she noticed that her brother was sitting in the driver's seat questioning the existence of life itself and poked his upper arm jolting him out of his daze.

" What?"

" What do you mean by what? The traffic signal has gone green when you are going to get us out of here? Can't you see how hot is it?" Romi whined as she fanned herself with her hand and shot a disgruntled look at the air conditioning system in the car. " And to think that you still haven't repaired it, what are you waiting for? Apocalypse?"

Nick scrunched up his brows as he was focusing on the road and answered, " What do you mean? It is a waste of money anyway and just how many minutes do we spend in the car anyway for us to use air conditioning?"

Romi gaped at him and then spread her hands in exaggeration. "I can't believe I was born in the family of misers."

" Thank your luck that you didn't get born in a family like that Blake family, at least you didn't have to face terrible things like that every day. Can you imagine killing people for money, I would rather starve… you might not appreciate it but if you were born in a devil-like family, like that Blake family, you would have understood that being normal is best!"

Romi listened to his yammering and then rolled her eyes as she picked on her nails with a pout. " oh aren't you just a fresh breath of judgemental air? Maybe you don't know but the Blakes don't kill innocent people they only kill those who deserve it. For example, take that minister that was shot dead on his cruise, he was a corrupt politician and he even had cases files for illegally exporting guns and rifles. I don't know what are you yapping about, it's not like they mass murdered innocent civilians. If they were really that bad, the government would have been out to catch them for real, bro —— but since they hardly ever touch any innocent life, even the government let them slide out of the prison once in a while."

" Excuse me, so just because they killed someone who was evil to begin with that makes them correct?" said Nick with an incredulous expression on his face and then after a short pause he added, " and how the hell you know so much about the Blakes, I don't see that much news about them on the news."

Romi shrugged. " I have to keep up with the news regarding my idol, now don't I have to?"

A pause and then ——

Nick abruptly slammed his feet on the brake causing the car to come to a sudden stop., Romi who was almost strangled by her seatbelt yelled, " The f*ck is the matter with you? How can you suddenly stop the car like this?"

"That's what I want to ask—— what's the matter with you? A mafia girl is your idol? Are you seriously kidding me? There are so many people you could have chosen as your idol but you chose a mafia girl? Are you mad?"

Romi patted her chest and glared at her brother. "The mad one is you! Times have changed do you even know that Vanessa Blake is currently the ' Mommy idol' of many? She knows how to fight and she can even race! Her face is rumoured to be as pretty as a fairy but if she gets mad, she can take a man twice her size with just one hit! Only you brother who is so narrow-minded that you can't see Queen Vanessa's charm will say something like that! Humph!"

While she was saying those things, Romi's face was glowing like a fangirl while Nick's entire face was turning dark as if the mist was settling on his shoulders. Maybe it was time to get the ' Women ethics and their principals' book for his sister. To think she actually started to idolise a criminal!

At that moment Nick didn't know that one day, he too will idolise Vanessa just like his sister.

" Achoo! Who is talking shit about me" Vanessa sneezed as she stepped into the club, then ignoring the youth that was jumping on the dance floor after taking shots more than they could handle she climbed up the stairs while rubbing her nose. Once she reached the top of the stairs, her eyes met with a brunette with stormy grey eyes and she took long strides, as long as her short legs would allow her to take towards her once she reached the brunette she stopped in front of her. " Yo, Charity, what's up?"

" Young miss." Charity bowed before she turned to look at the man who was completely skinned revealing his pulsating veins and giving an overview of the entire situation that was going on. " This guy has been coming to our club for more than two months and his debt has exceeded two million dollars—— our men asked him to repay what he owes but then instead of paying us back, he hopped on a train and tried to run away from us without paying us a single cent." She hugged the clipboard that she was holding to her chest and clicked her tongue. " It took a long time for us to track him down, and when we did —- he simply raised his hand and surrendered, saying that he won't have any money. If we want we can take his little life."

She paused and then turned to look at Vanessa who was looking at the man with her brows scrunched up. " However, I thought that just killing him will be too simple so, I added a bit of twist to it. After all, there is no way anyone can escape the hands of the black witch club—— we have to make a statement out of him, or else others would think that we are easy to take advantage of."

Vanessa stared at the man and then her lips curled in an evil smile. " If you are going to make a statement out of him then you might as well get him to pay the money back. The two million dollars might not mean something to us but then again money doesn't grow on trees."

Clarity blinked her eyes. " then what do you want Miss?"

" Drop a word to his family about his debt," said Vanessa as she rolled her sleeves and motioned to a server boy who was wandering around the Dom and Sub floor and whispered something in his ears. The server boy's eyes widened before he nodded and went to obey her order—— three minutes later he brought two sturdy bodyguards who were carrying huge buckets that were full of chlorine and dumped at the man who has been skinned while alive.

Like a living corpse, the man was jolted awake and let out a blood-curdling scream but as soon as he did that the bodyguards gagged his mouth and continued with their assault.

Vanessa nodded her head with a wicked grin and tilted her head at Charity. " Whether or not his family pays back the money make sure to kill him and drop his body on the streets, I don't want people thinking that I have gone sweet on poor——"

Before Vanessa could finish what she was saying, screams broke out downstairs and then the sound of gunshots was heard. Vanessa furtively backed up to the corner of the second floor and peered over the railing when her gaze fell on the familiar black and red uniform of the enemy gang she bit out a curse. " Shit! Everyone get the f*ck out, it is a gang war!"
