Valtoria.
~REID GAMBINO
"Wait! The D-don is planning o-on making an alliance with the Eldradorian m-mafia so they would gang up a-against you. Please don't kill me." He rushed his words out, staring pleadingly at everyone else in the room except meeting my gaze.
I didn't earn my nickname 'Devils Aura' For nothing, him meeting my gaze would only lead to a torturous journey to the brink of his pathetic life.
My my, he should tell me something new, I knew the Azurians formed an alliance with the Eldradorian Mafias. Now, I do not have a problem with the Eldradorian mafias but since they had joined hands with the enemy, I'm afraid they have been dragged into this war unknowingly and for that they would suffer the course of things they know nothing about.
The Valtorians and the Azurians go way back for we still have a painful past to settle. They have not only hurt me emotionally, they bruised me up mentally, scarring me up for life with my uncommon demeanor which I had come to embrace with time. Hence, they must pay with lives.
"Whimpers." Enzo called with a dramatic gasp, a hand placed to his chest. "I would never hurt your pure soul, Neither can I kill you when you begged for the opposite." He spoke softly before his dark onyx orbs turned into piercing slits, his smile turning into a reincarnation of the devils smirk, all plays and jokes long gone from his demeanor as they were replaced with an animalistic aura to hunt, scar and kill. "I would make you beg for death." He muttered, his voice dangerously dropping octaves lower which made whimpers shudder in terror, something beyond fear etched to his features.
Whimpers face contorted as a whole new batch of tears began to roll down his cheeks. Sobbing silently, all hopes long gone from his face for he knew nothing could save him from the disposition he found himself, not even the devil himself.
"Now, without further ado, we must proceed with the game." Enzo spoke enthusiastically, his beaming smile returned back to his face as if he hadn't promise the man death mere seconds ago. "The rules of the game is just three and are simple to follow. I press this button here." He pointed his right index finger to the red, vibrant button on the remote which was on his left hand as he slowly circled whimpers who was as stilled as a statue.
Pathetic.
"Whenever I press this red button, you get electrified, instead of a wail or scream, you laugh. See? Easy and fun right?" Enzo beamed, taking his stance in front of whimpers. "Now, failure to laugh would increase the zaps times two. Like I said earlier, my lucky number is 8. So, I would zap you 8 times consecutively and all you have to do for me is just laugh and show your ginger colored teeth." He paused for a while, the aura around him shifting and turning back into his sadistic side. "Just know that if you as well make a sound other than laughing, we will start all over and aim towards..... what is 8 plus 8?" Enzo asked whimpers who had peed his pants, his lips quivering in utter terror as his whole body shook. Enzo hasn't even started yet and he's already dead physically. "Tell me." He snarled.
"S-Sixteen."
"Sixteen eh," Enzo muttered with an askance grin. "You see, I don't know maths but I can't take your answer for it. After all, you were a mole, ratting us out to the Azurians for months. So tell me, why should I believe you?" Enzo chuckled, his eyes darting across the room till they landed on Giovanni.
Now, Gio was a genius when it comes to building and creating interesting gadgets and tampering with computers, deciphering codes and all of that. He built majority of the tech that functions in this warehouse and in the mansion. He was the one who designed the 'Seat of hell' which whimpers was currently sat. While I came up with the idea, Gio added his insight and built it better than what I had scribbled down for him. But even so, Everyone was terrified of me because I was a nightmare you don't want to have. And Gio was scared of me despite me being his older cousin.
"Gio." Enzo called with a grin while Gio came forward into Enzo's line of vision, his eyes darted between Enzo and whimpers before he decided to settle his gaze on his black combat boots. Enzo returned his gaze back to whimpers who looked like one whose soul had left the body. "Tell whimpers here, what 8 plus 8 is?"
In a heartbeat, Gio replied; "Sixty-four." Which made Enzo beam, satisfied with the answer before he dismissed Gio back to the line.
"You hear that? It's sixty-four. I'll advise you get a refund from you math teacher because they taught you nothing." Enzo spoke sarcastically, tsk disapprovingly. "Now, back to the game. What do you think about the rules, Is it fair?" Enzo questioned making whimpers nod 'yes' hastily. "Aw, you learn so quick, No wonder we are friends." Enzo added while patting whimpers cheeks roughly. "Now take it like the good boy you are."
Enzo's thumb settled on the red vibrant button, a series of low zapping sound filled the air of the once eerily quiet warehouse, a loud wail which quickly turned into a pained laughter erupted almost immediately.
"I see what you did there my friend." Enzo grinned. "The rule of the game states that to laugh immediately after being zapped, not to cry and then laugh later. But since we're friends, I would overlook it this time. Don't forget, you only get a pass once." Enzo said in a sing-like voice which sounded like something a grim-reaper would add to his playlist. "Now, laugh." Enzo commanded lowly after hitting the red button on the remote, a broken laughter followed with series of tear tailing right behind. "Perfect!"
Enzo continued for a while with whimpers all slumped down to the chair. I would've thought he was dead if not for the heaving of his chest.
"Aw, C'mon. We only just got to zap thirteen and you're tired? Don't you want to play with me?" Enzo slightly turned his head to the side as he continued to peer at whimpers whose eyes was now half- lidded. "Or....should I watch Zeus play with you instead hm?"
The mention of Zeus made everyone motionless, I'm sure some of my men even held in their breaths at the mention of my treasure.
Now, Zeus was my five year old snow Tiger which, well, isn't as patient as Enzo but friendlier than Enzo in a sense that he loves to play catch with his food before he devours them.
Beautiful.
"Nonono! Please no. I'm not t-tired, I can take m-more, p-please zap me, i b-beg of y-you." Victim hastily spoke as he managed to readjust his position on the chair. "Anything but Z-Zeus p-please."
"But I'm tired of zapping you, it's no fun." Enzo whined seeming to contemplate for a while. "Klaus." He called sternly. Klaus stepped out of the line, just as Gio had done earlier, he focused his gaze to the ground as a sign of respect. "When was the last time Zeus played with someone?"
"Two days ago, sir." Klaus replied instantly.
"You hear that? Poor Zeus was lonely throughout yesterday, I'm sure he would be elated to have your company." Enzo grinned tossing the remote on the Metal table placed at the side of the stone wall. "Unstrap him." Enzo commanded with a low voice, all merriment long gone from his demeanor as he gave a subtle bow to me. Meaning, he had done his part and it was time for it to be handed over to Zeus or whatever I chose to do.
Two men ran over to the whimpers as they began to unbuckle the black leather belt which bounded his wrists, waist and feet to the chair. They both held each of whimpers arm across their shoulder as they began to take him towards Zeus' playroom.
"Wait." My deep voice commanded, laced with an immense aura that surrounded the environment in an instant. My men stilled and bowed their heads in respects as I stopped fiddling with the silver band on my last finger. Standing up to my full height of 6'4 from the top corner I was sat. My black three piece Armani suit, tailored into perfection, sat gracefully on my shoulder, just as it should.
"If you manage to escape from Zeus' grasp, I'd let you leave. unharmed." I stated, my voice making whimpers flinch in fear as he peed his pants for the fourth time over the last hour.
We all know there isn't escaping Zeus, once a sinner sets foot on his threshold, marking them as his Prey, Toys and plays Tag with them, everyone knows that the end has come. But, he might as well give it a try.
"Tag, you're in." I smirked deviously as they continued to drag whimpers towards Zeus' playground. Just as Enzo had said earlier, whimpers wailed and began to beg for instant death. That, I can't grant unto him because,
No one betrays Reid Gambino.
