Capítulo 9: Chapter 9
After getting her anger under control, Avanya pulled Alessio in to a short kiss as a sign of gratitude. Alessio smiled into the kiss before pulling back but he stayed by Avanya’s side. “I’m sorry about that, I have an explosive temper hence, and I try to stay calm as much as I can. To answer your question, Fratello, I want Koan Yazuka to pay for what he did. I don’t want to just arrest him, I want him to suffer, I want to make him lose every single thing and fall flat on his face.”
“Koan Yazuka? Isn’t he the most wanted mafia boss in all of Asia?” Mingjue questioned while the others looked shocked.
Liana gasped,” That guy own the third largest mafia in the world and he is said to be the most dangerous of them all because he is ruthless. A heartless beast who don’t value human life. No one has ever seen his face yet everyone has heard of him, he is wanted by Interpol in more than sixteen countries.”
Amaryllis shook her head as she got up from her seat. “The police could not take down this guy, even Interpol failed to catch him in all of these years. Heck! The whole world witnessed what happens when you mess with that guy after what he did to your parents. Avanya, you do realize that going after this guy is as good as signing your death certificate, right?” Her cold gaze clashed with Avanya’s.
“For the world, I am already dead. I am the only one who knows what Koan Yazuka looks like. You seem to forget something, the whole world saw the news about my parents’ homicides but I witnessed everything with my own eyes. I won’t rest until I destroy that bastard even if it’s the last thing I do. I did not wish to involve anyone of you in this mess, I don’t even plan to let my brothers know I am still alive because that will endanger them. I might not come out of this alive so they won’t be forced to mourn me a second time.”
“If you do not want us involved, why bother telling us?” Corey tilted his head to the side in confusion.
“She did it for me, I refused to let her do this alone. I won’t survive if anything happens to her, you all are my family and I trust you with my life. I wanted you to know but I am helping her get the justice she deserves.” All the attention turned to Alessio at his firm declaration.
Deimos looked at his friends then at Avanya, “Luciano was my godfather which makes me his son. All this time I have been secretly trying to gather evidence to bring Koan Yazuka and his empire down. I will not rest until I destroy that fucker, Avanya is my sister, I failed to protect her parents but I will not let anything happen to her or her brothers.” There was no room for argument. They knew that once Deimos King has made up his mind then there is no one who can change his mind.
Mingjue sighed, he ran a hand through his hair and stood up. “We are a family and we swore to stand by each other through thick and thin. If you two are embarking on this suicidal mission then you won’t be going alone.”
“So what’s the plan?” Corey raised an eyebrow at Avanya.
Avanya smirked,” For now, we need to gather all the information we can on Koan. His movements, his dealings, and the people he talks to on a daily basis and the places he goes to. We need to keep a watch on every single step he takes, I want to know every detail even if it does not seem to be important.”
The group was quick to get to work, Deimos brought over every information he had collected over the years. They all spent most of the night going over all the documents and piles of police reports that might help with their plan. It was past midnight by the time they decided to call it quits. After all apart from Avanya, the others still had their jobs that they need to tend to come morning. Avanya did not sleep well, she kept having nightmares and at one point, she even gave up on the idea of sleep. She went outside for a walk just to clear her head but ever since her memories returned, she had been clouded by every memory she had with her family.
Flashback*
Avanya was in the gym recording a new video to upload on her YouTube account, she was finishing up when she heard something from upstairs. Since she had her gym underground, she could still hear some muffled noises from above if they are loud enough. At first she ignored it and continued with her sword play, she was teaching swordsmanship today and she already had a million views as well as likes. There were also endless comments, many were questions relating to the training which she answered easily while others were personal. As Avanya did her finishing moves, she heard the noise again and this time, she decided to go check it out. She quickly she finished up quickly, log out then rushed upstairs. She realized that the sound came from her room, Avanya became even more curious so she soundlessly peered into the room.
To her surprise, it was her father who was looking around the room. He looked troubled and he seemed to be in a rush. Avanya wanted to call out but decided to wait for a while to see what her father was doing. She watched as he went into her closet and found her secret room where she hid all her weapons, Avanya held her breathe but her father did not seem surprised so Avanya reckoned he already knew about her secret identity just as she knew about his. She could bet that if her father did not look so distressed then maybe he would’ve already sensed her there. That made her wonder what it was that made her father so stressed, the man was rarely ever worked up so if he was this worked up now then it could only mean trouble. She watched as her father picked up her favorite sword, opened its handle, put something in it and then closed it before putting it back where it belonged. Avanya hid and watched her father put everything back in place and then left the room. Once he was gone, Avanya went into her secret room and looked at whatever her father was hiding there. She found a pendrive, she wondered what it was about but she decided not to look into it yet so she put it back.
Flashback ends*
Avanya jerked out of her memory with a gasp, that incident happened an hour before Koan Yazuka stormed the place with his men. If she was not wrong then that pendrive was the evidence her father went to collect or a copy of it. Her father knew they were following him, he knew that they were coming for him and there was no time to escape so he hid the evidence where no one would find it. After all, no one knew of that room, Avanya had it built at night and her family was on a vacation. Her father knowing about it was a coincidence, because he was a secret agent, he might have stumbled across the room when he was looking for a sweater for Avanya that one time she had forgotten it while going to school.
By now it was dawn, the sun was just rising and the world was still quiet. Not many people were awake at this time so she figured she can go get the evidence now. With that last thought, Avanya rushed inside, ran up stairs to the room she shares with Alessio. The man was still asleep, Avanya did not want to wake him but she knew that if she does not inform him of her departure then he will panic. With a heavy heart she shook him gently and smiled when he opened his eyes immediately. Alessio is a light sleeper. “Hey, can you wake up for me?” She coaxed.
“I’m awake, Mamica, what is the matter? Why are you awake?” A frown covered his handsome face.
Avanya leaned down and kissed him slowly, “I couldn’t sleep. Still having nightmares.” She murmured against his lips.
Alessio pulled her on top of him and kissed her passionately until she let out a soft moan. “Next time wake me. I don’t like it when you suffer alone.”
“I know but you slept late and you have a big meeting today so I wanted you to rest. I woke you up because I remembered something, I think papa backed up the evidence before the mafia came for him. I just remembered where he hid it and I know for a fact that it is still there, I have to go get now.”
“Is it safe?”
“Alessio, I have been there before, the house is abandoned and I don’t think anyone would want it after what happened to my parents. I will go in, get the evidence and come back here. Since I won’t be able to make you lunch, I will deliver it to you at work. After all, I need to go by my apartment and get my clothes.”
The man was reluctant to let her go, he was worried but he knew that she had to go so he agreed. Avanya gave him a final kiss, grabbed the car keys Alessio handed her and rushed out of the house. Alessio could not go back to sleep so he decided to get his laptop and do some final touch ups on his presentation. Once that was done, he got ready for work.
