ATHERIO PARK [RELEASED]

The Leader of The Gangsta

"If today is the end of everything, what do you want as a last request?"

•••

◆◇◆

Care at Park's residence was tightened, with several well-built people standing around every corner in front of the house. They are all Park's men led by Gun Seok.

Meanwhile, Atherina is busy with computers in Park's study. Beside him was Carlos, he noticed what Atherina was doing.

On the screen, you can see a map showing Park's territory. "Has this area been upgraded?" Ask Atherina.

"Yes, Miss. You don't have to worry about that."

Meanwhile, Atherio takes his PR seriously. Sometimes he types a small calculator to find answers.

Atherio heard the sound of cars stopping in the courtyard of the house. He looked at the window of his room. Textbooks and stationery are packed immediately. Atherio immediately went to the window and saw who had come.

It turned out that not only one car, there were 3 cars entering the courtyard of the Park house. Some people in suits and sunglasses got out of the car. They all look like bad guys in Atherio's eyes.

Atherio looked anxious, he immediately came out of the room to look for Atherina. When he opened the door, Atherio crossed paths with Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk.

"I saw there were 3 cars stopped in front, it looks like they're bad guys." Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk looked at each other at Atherio's words.

"They are the same as us, the difference is we are on Mr. Park's side," Ji Hoo's reply left Atherio shocked in silence.

Ji Hoo chuckled, "There's no need to panic, Young master, Miss Atherina already told us that Young master already knows everything."

Atherio was not interested in Ji Hoo's remarks. "Then how are the bad guys?" Ask Atherio.

"They're our guests" Min Hyuk replied. Atherio still looked anxious, he stepped onto the staircase fence. The man looked down which was the living room. It looks Atherina sitting opposite a man whose age is not much different from Park.

Some of the men were standing behind him. Their faces all looked creepy despite wearing sunglasses.

Likewise with Park's loyal men were near Atherina. There was Carlos and Gun Seok standing next to Atherina.

Upstairs, Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk stand next to Atherio, having Atherio flanked by his father's two men.

The man in question greeted Atherina, "Good night, Miss Park, sorry to interrupt your time."

Atherina smiled kindly and was more mature than her age, "Good night, Mr. Kang Hoo, I'm not busy, my PR is done."

Min Hyuk looked at Atherio who was seriously paying attention to the people downstairs. He began to tell me, "Kang Hoo is our colleague from Busan. Mr. Park cooperates with him on office matters only. They also know each other in the gangster world, but Mr. Park has no interest in working with him in the gangster world."

Atherio looked at Min Hyuk, "Why don't you want to cooperate with that guy?" Ask Atherio.

"He's a con man, in a dark world, a cheater is considered an unpleasant person." Atherio nodded in understanding hearing Min Hyuk's reply.

Kang Hoo smiled, "I came here to take you on business. This business is our group's new business, it's a very profitable business."

Carlos whispers to Atherina, Kang Hoo belies Carlos.

Atherio was still watching them from upstairs. He listened to what they were talking about.

"Mr Park has never been careless in choosing business partners. It's not easy to gain Mr. Park's trust. Especially us as important people by his side" said Ji Hoo.

"We need dozens or decades to get this position" Min Hyuk added. Atherio saw Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk take turns.

"What did you do to a traitor?" Ask Atherio. "Killing him slowly and painfully" Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk replied simultaneously. Atherio shuddered at the thought of how cruel Park was.

"Are you an angry leader?" Ask Atherio. None of Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk answered Atherio's question. Again Atherio looked at Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk alternately.

"Actually the anger of the master was based on his mood. When his confidants speak presumptuously, sometimes Mr. Park is not angry." That was Ji Hoo's answer.

Hearing Carlos' words, Atherina nodded her head. The little girl let out her voice, "I really appreciate your invitation, but I can't cooperate with you. Right now our group leader is focusing on something else."

Kang Hoo shook his head, "There's no need to accept our invitation that quickly, you need to think about it first."

"The decision cannot be challenged, this is our right to refuse" Gun Seok said with a sarcasm. Atherina gave the code so Gun Seok wouldn't talk any further.

Atherio had noticed his older brother, and there was a feeling of awe in the figure of Atherina which was very great in his eyes. "He's great, like dad. He deserves to be a replacement for the father" Atherio said.

Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk turned their heads towards Atherio because of hearing his words. "Actually Mr. Park has decided to make Mr. Atherio our true leader. Miss Atherina was made interim leader before Mr. Atherio was really ready to be a leader."

Hearing Min Hyuk's words, Atherio immediately looked at him. "I'm not as strong as big brother" murmured Atherio.

"This is a very profitable business, the capital does not need to be large. Just need to find people to volunteer," said Kang Hoo who seems to be trying to get Atherina to accept the cooperation. Atherio disliked Kang Hoo's pushy tone.

Carlos spoke up, "Sorry, Miss Park's time for bed, tomorrow she has to go to school." Atherina got out of her seat and stepped on her feet. Kang Hoo also got up from the sofa and blocked Atherina.

Kang Hoo again spoke, "You have strong people, we just need that. The body organ sales business greatly guarantees the gangster cash."

Hearing Kang Hoo's words, Atherina looked surprised. Not only Atherina, Carlos, Gun Seok and the three people on the 2nd floor were also stunned to hear that.

"What did you say?" Atherina asked as she turned to look intently at Kang Hoo.

"Our target is people who have a lot of debt, homeless people, and orphans. They are very easy to be tricked, the price of one organ of the body reaches the price of one sports car." Atherina was getting sick of hearing Kang Hoo continue to speak without feeling guilty about his words.

Gun Seok pulled Kang Hoo's collar, making the men move closer. Same with Park's men. Kang Hoo gave the code not to act rashly.

"How dare you say that! Vile business that you shouldn't explain in detail to our Miss! Fuck you!" The Hardik Gun Seok.

Atherina continued her steps while saying, "Uncle Gun Seok, tell him to leave." Carlos pulls Gun Seok out so as not to hurt Kang Hoo, or they are in trouble.

Atherio's expression turned furious, his clenched hand hitting the staircase fence.

"It's so arrogant of you little boy! You're just Mr. Park's representative, but you dare to refuse this cooperation!" Kang Hoo's snapping will approach, but it's blocked by Park's men.

Atherina stopped her steps, she turned to stare intently at Kang Hoo. The man looked goosebumps at Atherina's psychopathic gaze.

"Fuck shit!" Kang Hoo shouted while stomping his legs in annoyance. "We live in a cruel dark world! You're talking like you're a saint how many people you've killed!"

"Uncle Carlos, tell my father not to cooperate with him in any field!" Atherina said.

Carlos nodded respectfully.

Park's men led them all out of the house.

Atherio let out a long sigh after seeing the incident. "Did this happen often?" Ask Atherio.

"May I say it's nothing. Even before there were many events worse than this." Atherio nodded in understanding hearing Min Hyuk's reply.

"I'm going to see my brother" said Atherio. Ji Hoo and Min Hyuk bowed and then left Atherio.

For a moment Atherio took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He stepped into his father's study to meet Atherina.

In front of the room were Carlos and Gun Seok. They both looked at Atherio. "Young master," they bowed respectfully.

"Sister still inside?" Ask Atherio. Carlos and Gun Seok nodded their heads together.

Atherio knocked on the door of the room, there was no answer. He pulled the door knob and opened the door slowly. The first thing she saw was the figure of Atherina sitting with her head asleep on both hands.

Atherio closed the door and walked over to his brother. Now standing behind Atherina, Atherio hugged her sister from behind.

Atherina's body trembled, it made Atherio startled and brought his face closer to Atherina's face, "Sister crying?"

Atherina raised her face, and it was clear that both her cheeks were wet with tears. Both of his small eyes also looked puffy. Atherio let go of his embrace, he sat face to face with Atherina. Both of his hands rubbed his brother's tears that did not stop flowing.

"Why is the world cruel?" Atherina asked with a trembling voice. Atherio looked at his sister, his heart was sad to see Atherina crying like that. After a long time, it felt like only this time again did he see the girl crying.

"If you object to being in a dark world, you just tell me, you'll understand."

"No, Rio. Father had already given his trust to Brother, Brother cannot disappoint father."

"I'll replace Brother." Hearing that remark, Atherina was startled and immediately looked at Atherio. His gaze was getting smaller.

"You're going to be the leader of this gangster group, but not now. You need a lot of practice from your confidants."

"Sister, close your eyes, brother" said Atherio. Atherina looked confused, but did not want to think much, she did what her sister asked. Atherina closed both her eyes.

Atherio brought his face closer and looked at Atherina's face from such a close distance. Atherio smiled and then kissed Atherina's eyelids alternately. Atherina opened her eyes looking at her sister.

"A kiss of affection will heal his wound" Atherio said, imitating what Atherina always said. The girl smiled at her sister's words, she rubbed Atherio's cheek.

"Get up" said Atherina.

"I can't grow up if I have a Big Brother who always spoils me."

Atherina rolled her eyeballs, "Then it remains the sweet Rio, until whenever I will consider you a child."

"Is that so?"

"It's night, go back to the room." Atherio nodded his head at the brother's command. He moved from his seat.

"Good night" Atherio said with a smile. Atherina smiled slightly as she nodded, "Good night." Atherio left Atherina's room.

◆◇◆

A few weeks later, Park returns from Singapore with Victor, Joon Ki, and some of his men.

That night, Park gathers all her people in a spacious living room. She took with her two children who stood flanking her.

Park let out his voice, "As I promised you. After I return from Singapore, I will announce the renewal of the new order in our group.." Park's hand was stretched out on Atherina. Atherina received a helping hand from her father, Park taking Atherina by her side.

".. I will give my position as the leader of the group to my 10-year-old eldest daughter, Atherina Park."

Everyone applauded, including the excited Atherio. Atherina bent her body.

"Say something" Park said slowly. Atherina nodded, "I will try my best, I hope that we can all cooperate well, please help." Atherina ended her speech by bowing her body.

"Here are also 7 of my confidants, they have been a dozen and decades with me, Carlos, Ji Hoo, Victor, Gun Seok, Joon Ki, Min Hyuk, Esteban, you must be the protector of your new leader. Your duties are still the same as before, I hope you can respect Atherina as you respect me." The seven men nodded their heads respectfully.

"I will begin to release my son to practice from now on under the watchful eye of Atherina and the watchful eye of seven of you. No mistake, he'll be the leader of the group after Atherina."

"Good!" Answer the seven men in unison. Everyone applauded.

Park embraces her two children while taking a deep breath and exhaling with relief.

"I can breathe now" murmured Park.

Atherio looked at Atherina who looked expressionless at all.
