GOSH, THAT IS MATAYA!

"Callista asked me to follow you, and after all … I am your 'shadow,' Ben. I will always follow you wherever you go, even if you don't give me those instructions. Isn't that the function and duty of a true 'shadow'?" said Pavlo, sparking an argument with Benvolio.

"Yes, that's right, you are indeed my most loyal 'shadow' that I have. But, a 'shadow' should also know when to hide and not follow his owner's body, right?" Benvolio couldn't understand why Pavlo couldn't even understand the situation and circumstances he was experiencing at a time like this.

Tring ….

Benvolio's smartphone notification sounds again. There was a message of terror that entered his smartphone again.

Benvolio immediately opened the message, and he already knew who sent him the message and what would be written in the message considering he came with Pavlo.

[Messages]

I told you to come alone, killer mafia! You are a coward! Now, your chance to find out the exact location of the 'monster lair' is gone. Please don't blame me. You broke the rules yourself! All that's left now is the injured woman! Maybe she can still survive if you find him in time.

It's a shame, even though I want to beat you to my heart's content and also finish off a naughty woman who pretends to be a just and law-abiding prosecutor.

Yeah ... but after all, she's going to be a partner in the Constanzo family's next project, right? So I guess letting it go to you right now isn't a problem because I can take advantage of this woman again in the future, and that's if you can save her already dying life. HAHAHA, GOOD LUCK! THIS IS ALL JUST THE BEGINNING, AND YOU HAVE TO STAY ALIVE UNTIL YOU KNOW WHO I AM, HAHAHA!!!

"Fuck! How dare he toy with me! I will 'hunt' you until I get it." Benvolio clenched his fists and punched the glass of the supercar in front of him to vent the anger that was burning in his mind.

His hand that used to hit the glass of his supercar become bruised and started to bleed.

"What exactly happened, Ben? And what are you looking for in a place like this?" asked Pavlo, who had been very curious about Benvolio's goals and had no idea what the current situation was.

Benvolio took a deep breath, trying to calm himself from his emotions as well as his already chaotic thoughts. Benvolio tries to stay calm and restore his cluttered mind so that he can think clearly and rationally. "Looking for a lion that is injured and is dying," said Benvolio briefly.

"Huh, you came to a place like this to look for a wounded lion? Oh my God, Ben!" Pavlo hissed in annoyance at Benvolio's utter nonsense.

Benvolio looked at Pavlo for a moment and said, "Yeah, because that's all that's left in this place. Did you bring your weapon Pav?"

"I only brought a cock shotgun and two clips of ammo, Ben. That's all I have in my car at the moment. What's that for? Didn't you say the lion was injured?" asked Pavlo again.

Benvolio ignored Pavlo's question. He immediately took out a bow and also a firearm from inside his supercar. Then immediately walked into the hut.

Pavlo followed behind him, stepped into the hut. When they entered, they were greeted with a lot of blood splattered everywhere in the hut. The rancid smell of blood that kept wafting was very thick and disturbed the scent of both of them in this hut.

They turned on their flashlights through their respective smartphones because it was very dark inside the hut. The hut was far from their imagination because they considered the shape of the hut to be small and narrow. The hut only looks small from the outside, but when you set foot into the hut, the hut is vast. Inside there are lots of rooms.

Benvolio decided to enter a room that has very thick smelled of blood from inside. Likewise with Pavlo. Pavlo followed Benvolio into the room, and to their surprise, they both saw a girl lying helpless with many wounds on her body and a lot of blood coming out of her body. Benvolio tried to get closer to her and brushed her long black curls hair over her face.

"Goddamn! Mataya?!" said Benvolio, very surprised to see Mataya's condition worse than what he saw in the picture sent by the foreign messenger.

"Holy shit, Ben! This is Biserka's sister! Miss Mataya! What happened to her like this?" Pavlo's spine shuddered in horror seeing Mataya's condition, which had become very serious.

Benvolio immediately tore off his clothes so that they could be used as bandages to stop Mataya's bleeding--- don't know why the response to help him was quick this time. Maybe he had learned from Biserka's previous experience or because he was confronted by someone already dying, so his instincts helped him get to work. "Pavlo, quickly help me put this on to her to stop the bleeding."
