It was indeed a miracle that Lu found his chest clean of blood. He touched his forehead and stare at his clean palm before realizing he just narrowly escaped something he hasn’t been afraid of until now.
For a man like Luciano, death had never been something he feared. Not when there are other things that could happen to him.
With his left ear still hearing a ringing sound and his mind completely disorientated, Nothing reasonable could form in Lu’s head until he saw Stefano laying in his pool of blood. His right shoulder looks bloody like he was shot there.
His eyes were open as he stared blankly at the sky. To make it easier to see, Stefano had a third eye in between his normal eyes. From where The body lay, Luciano could tell that his shoppers couldn’t meet such a hit unless it was done by someone in front of him.
“Davidson!” Lu gasped.
He looked around to see what he had least expected. Frankly, he came prepared but was knocked off guard and lost it. His men were against Dee’s men shooting and knocking out whatever they can.
His unbelievable brother was literally shooting and hiding, something he never thought he could do. A small but proud smile spread across his face.
His left hand held his forehead as he watched around for what to do until he noticed Dee acting sneaky. His gaze followed every move until he glance at the man’s gun pointed at his brother.
“Davidson!!!” He yelled.
Before he could get to think about his next action, Luciano jumped on his brother. He didn’t care whether he would die or get shot, the only thought that kept ringing in his mind was how not to lose a loved one on a day he Intend to get one back.
His breath was heavy and fast when he laid on Davidson where he lay. Their gaze locked for a while then he slowly rolled and stood up, before then, he made sure to pull Davidson along.
“I know you love me” Davidson gasped.
The look on Lu’s face was nothing close to what was on Davidson’s face. He held his left ear for a few seconds before his gaze widened and he looked straight into Davidson’s eyes in shock.
“What?” Davidson asked.
“Find Alita, take Raul with you,” Lu said as he hurried off “I will get that son of a bitch” he added.
Dee the ‘son of a bitch’ should better do what would be better for him and run for his life. He just tried to shoot Davidson and still have an annoying smirk on his face as he waited for Lu to walk towards him.
From where he stood, Dee knew something was wrong with Lu even when he kept trying to cover it. The way he was walking, like he was focused on one side than the other. If he was leaping or not walking straight, Dee would have assumed that Stefani’s shot hit him.
It’s just a shame the man died before his punishment. He didn’t get to go rouge for long before Davidson’s bullet went through his head to his fine brain and boom!
He is dead!
“Don’t bother yourself, I am not running away” Dee grinned as he stood still.
Even as he clarified Lu, the man still moved faster as if he was in such a hurry. A faint smile spread across his face as he caught glimpse of one of his men running towards Lu.
Not so fast as Dee had thought but it still was a huge surprise that Lu didn’t defend himself on time. He allowed the man to punch him from his left side before retaliation.
For Lu, he could not allow anyone to notice his weakness. Since the gunshot, he couldn’t hear anything with his left ear, not even the loudest gunshot. For him, in his in a double world, one as silent as death while the other the loudest place on earth.
As the man punched his jaw, it sent a stinging pain. It sent the wrong extremely painful signal to Lu’s nerves as he did what he ought to have done before the man got closer.
His gun went to his throat and he blew it open. Blood splashed on his face and body as the man fell dead.
Lu quickly looked around to see why Dee had such a calm but yet painful look on his face. It was a look of failure, no hope, and disappointment but he didn’t just want to admit it.
A small smirk spread on Lu’s face as he turned back to see Dee all white. He moved his gun swiftly through his fingers as he walked slowly to Dee.
“Even if you kill me you still lose” Dee grinned as he remained still with a smirk on his face “I am not scared to die just like you” he began to laugh.
Frankly, Lu doesn’t want to die, at least not when he hasn’t settled with Alita and has a daughter to walk down the aisle on her wedding day.
Swiftly, it happened fast that even Lu himself didn’t think he would do it if he wasn’t blinded by anger. His bodyweight went to his right leg, giving him the swiftness to spin effortlessly and wiping the small block heel of his shoe on Dee’s face.
Blood, teeth, and saliva fell off Dee’s mouth as he went to his knees automatically. He spat again as he held his jaw in surprise.
“Fuck you!” He muttered.
It was more like a muffled sound as his tongue was badly wounded making it unable for Dee to talk well.
“I can forget about the weird dude I killed his brother” Lu stooped so he could meet Dee’s height “Where is Alita?” He asked.
An annoying smirk appeared on Dee’s bloody lips, it changed into a horrible laugh, A very loud and unpleasant sound. If not for the fact that Lu was trying to be patient enough to listen for Alita’s sake, he would have forced his gun into Dee’s throat and blown his neck open.
“You are doomed, Luciano,” Dee said.
He began to laugh again, this time louder like a psycho.
“I will spare you if you choose to talk,” Lu said extremely calm “Just tell me where Alita is and you live, deal,” he added.
Dee stared at Lu in confusion. He was thinking about every possible reason he had to live and why he thinks it would be a good idea. His bored gaze homed on Lu’s blue eyes for a while before he cleared his throat.
“Rocco is dead,” He said.
“I asked about Alita” Lu remained impatiently.
The look on Dee’s face could explain that he doesn’t want to say the particular thing in his mind. In the past two minutes, he had gotten two reasons why he ought to live which are making money and taking all the expensive girls home.
Telling Lu about Alita might just be his death passage but in his doubt, Lu might be reasonable. After all, he has no idea where Alita is.
With his face as clueless as death, he looked deeply into Lu’s eyes.
“Alita is nowhere to be found,” He said “A week a-”
Poor Dee could barely finish his statement before Lu smashed under his handgun on the side of his head. It was indeed a surprise that he didn’t pass out at the level of the force.
“Don’t fuck with me” Lu snarled.
“It’s the truth,” Davidson said from behind, “One of his men Luca just killed said the same thing”
Even with the look on Davidson’s face, Lu wasn’t convinced that what the man just said might be the painful truth. He looked back at Dee and wrapped his right palm around his neck tightly.
“Last chance” he stated before pushing him back.
“Alita killed Rocco and is gone with some group of girls,” Dee said “I can’t tell if she is dead but she is still in Calabria, no one had left I can assure you that” he paused.
His uncertain gaze home on Lu’s angry ones for the next few seconds. He had it on mind, but with what Lu had promised, he didn’t expect it would be so soon.
Angrily, Lu pressed his gun at the side of Dee’s head and pulled the trigger. He didn’t wait to get what the man was trying to blab or if he even have the location of Alita. The next thing was a very loud bang and Dee’s blood all over his face, cloth, gun, and floor.
“That’s evil,” Davidson said “You should have let him live”
“I didn’t like his reply” was Lu’s dry response as he walked away from his brother.
“No one there” Davidson yelled “It’s all empty, we killed then all except one”
Lu didn’t reply to wait, he just head forward to look like a zombie. Something strong keeps on telling him that he might get something related to Alita where about.
“Dante Lorenzo,” Lu said to himself “that last name sounds so familiar”
