Deal? Rocco slowly lowered his weapon, though a murderous glint flickered in his eyes.

Andrew smiled.

Thats better.

However, he quickly delivered another slap to Juans face.

Didnt he want me to try hitting him? Well, how about one, two, three... He asked mockingly, How was that? Satisfied now? The pain was unbearable, and Juan sobbed, Yes, yes! Please stop! No more! III die if you dont stop! What more do you want? Rocco shouted.

Ive surrendered

But if anything happens to Mr.

Madden, youre dead! + Andrew released Juan with a warning.

Get lost, but remember our deal you leave me alone after this

As Juan stumbled toward him, Rocco rolled forward and snatched up his gun.

Let you go ? After what you did to Mr.

Madden ? You deserve to die a hundred times over! Adrenaline surged through Rocco as he gripped the gun tightly

He could already feel the satisfaction of regaining control and erasing this humiliation.

So, youre going back on your word? Andrew frowned.

Rocco laughed maniacally.

Honor ? Preach it to the devil! You might be tough, but everyones equal before a gun! Juan, now protected by a few thugs, screamed in a raging fit, Kill him, Rocco ! Kill him now! Rocco grinned wickedly

Say goodbye, kid! Suddenly, a soft whistle cut through the air, and silver needle appeared on Roccos forehead

A tiny droplet of blood beaded around it, and Rocco fell backward with a thud.

Just like that, he was dead, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Andrew stood over the body.

The bad guys always die from talking too much.

Thats you in a nutshell.

He sighed, then added, But even if raised that gun.

They could not comprehend how Rocco had been killed in the blink of an eye.

Andrew quietly slipped his remaining needles back into his sleeve.

If any of them had made a move, he would not hesitate to let them suffer the same fate as Rocco. Suddenly, a phone rang, breaking the tense silence.

The sound came from Juans pocket, making him flinch.

With shaking hands, he answered it

Tonys cheerful voice came through, Juan, my boy! Hows it going? Have your fun, but dont go too far.

I still need that kid alive for a bit.

Tony chuckled.
