The charm of Mr. De Luca

Coraggioso

Driving his favorite jeep, Matteo took a short trip from Brescia to Milan. Armed with the address given by Adriano, he headed straight to a luxury apartment deliberately rented by Sergei Redomir while in the fashion city.

After parking his vehicle, with confident gallant steps, Matteo entered the building dozens of levels. The destination this time was the twenty-seventh floor, where Sergei was. While in the elevator, Matteo had tidied up the leather jacket he was wearing. While the sunglasses still faithfully accompanied him. Occasionally, the man also rubbed his hair that was always neatly combed backwards.

A few minutes later, the elevator door opened. Matteo steps out and immediately heads to the apartment room that Sergei rented. There stood two men who stood guard and looked suspiciously at him.

"Who are you?" ask one of them half-piercingly. But Matteo still looked calm.

"Matteo de Luca. I want to meet with your boss," replied Matteo coldly.

Hearing de Luca's name, the two men looked at each other. "Our boss is busy. He cannot be disturbed" said one of them again.

"Get in and tell your boss if I come to see him. I came here with great patience. If not, then I make sure you will compensate for the broken apartment door," said Matteo still with the same tone.

The two men looked at each other. They certainly do not want to invite a commotion there. Finally, one of the two men entered, and the other remained on guard. Actually, if you want then Matteo can paralyze the guard with just one kick. However, he came there not to attack his opponent, but wanted to talk and ask for an explanation.

Not long after, the man who had reported inside had returned. He invited Matteo to come in. Without saying much, Matteo immediately stepped into the apartment room with a modern feel. He stood at the door and spread his gaze to every corner of the room. But Matteo found no one there. Sayup-sayup, there was the sound of a woman's spoiled laughter from the inside of the apartment. Matteo decided to wait while standing in his place, until Sergei appeared with two women on the left and right sides of the man.

Sergei stopped his laughter. The hand that initially grabbed the waist of the two women on the left and right sides, he immediately lowered it when he saw Matteo's whereabouts there. "Thank you, ladies. You can leave now" Sergei said, patting his women on the hips and telling them to get out of there. While Matteo did not give any response, including when the two women raised a smile full of temptation towards him.

"What wind brings you here, Matteo de Luca?" asked Sergei with his Russian accent. He called Matteo's name without frills the word 'master'. From there, Matteo seemed to have been able to catch the bad news from the green-eyed man.

"Mr D'Angelo informs me that you have cancelled my weapons order unilaterally. What does all that mean?" ask Matteo with considerable emphasis.

"Oh, that's absolutely right. He even returned my man in a lifeless state, really disrespecting me" Sergei replied calmly. The man may be at ease, as there are some of his men there who are ready to put their guns on hold if Matteo does anything out of the blue.

"I have indeed made the decision to cancel all remaining orders, and my decision has been unanimous" Sergei reiterated.

"Your order's just a little more, you know not if I'm just producing weapons on demand?"

"Oh, it's none of my business. The customer is king, and I have the right to decide whether to continue or not" Sergei said at will, making Matteo smile.

"You may sell the rest to others, for I am no longer interested in cooperating with someone who has cruelly killed my brother!" Sergei ended his words with something Matteo did not understand. The gray-eyed man frowned.

"meaning?" matteo asked as he stared intently at the man before him. The instinct of the Klan de Luca leader began to work and caught something threatening him. Matteo moved his hands slowly behind his leather jacket. However, before he had time to take the gun tucked inside there, two Sergei men who had come out of nowhere had already pointed their weapons at Matteo.

The man was stunned. He's getting more alert. His gray eyes moved to observe the situation and tried to find a gap.

A moment later, Sergei laughed in satisfaction. He walked closer to Matteo. "Three against one, and you're unarmed. It takes a few seconds for you to take the gun out of the back of the jacket. However, before that happens, I make sure that my men's bullets have penetrated your head" Sergei said with a grin.

"What do you mean do all this? I've never had any problems with you at all" Matteo said with emphasis.

"You still dare to avoid taking my brother out?" serkei Sentak.

"Whose brother? I've killed too many people!" reply Matteo no less firm.

"Alex!" Sergei called out one name so loudly, making Matteo flinch and think for a while. His brain quickly processed all the information he had.

“Don't be crazy! Mr. D'Angelo told me that he killed Alex because he dared to kidnap Daniella, my sister-in-law,”. “Is it true your sister kidnapped Daniela?” search later. Matteo squinted his eyes sharply at Sergei.

“I don't like to repeat questions. You just answer, yes or no!” matteo's tone of voice sounded so cold, making the atmosphere around increasingly gripping.

“It looks like there's a little misunderstanding here. Adriano was apparently lying, both to you and to me,” Sergei raised both his hands to the front of his chest, as if trying to signal for Matteo to hold back.

“Do not beat around the bush, Sergei!” matteo's jolt was immediately rewarded with a gunpoint directly behind his head. Sergei's men did not stay silent when they saw their employers were desperate and frightened.

It even makes Matteo's emotions run high.

With a lightning-fast motion, Matteo tilted his head. He clenched his right hand and then hit the stomach of Sergei's men who stood beside him earlier. While the man who pointed a gun to the back of Matteo's head was quick to point a shot at him.

But Matteo is more agile. He leaned over and lunged at the man. The sound of the gun barking several times, hitting the crystal lamp, the wall, to the sofa. None of it hit Matteo's body. The man considered it a lucky thing. “Doa Mia has always protected me. I don't know who would pray for you if things were like this!" grinned Matteo who had managed to sit on the man's stomach. One of his hands hit the man's jaw, while the other hand gripped the wrist of the man holding the gun tightly. Strong hand grip makes a man never take off his gun.

Not yet Matteo grabbed the gun, the shot was again directed at him by the other Sergei men. They numbered about five. Matteo inched beside the helpless man and lifted his body to cover himself. He used the man as a life shield, lowering his body until Matteo was able to grab the gun lying not far away.

The gray-eyed man's efforts worked. He took the weapon and deflected it. Matteo also pulled out the gun behind his waist which he had brought from Casa de Luca. His two hands were now clutching a semi-automatic pistol ready to fire.

He directed the two weapons to all Sergei's men who still continue to strafe him with gunfire. Several bullets hit both the five men's hands and feet. In just a few minutes, some of the men managed to disable Matteo, without killing them of course.

Matteo smiled with satisfaction. However, the smile had to come to a halt as he felt the movement behind him. He immediately turned around and shot the man's leg that had been sprawled because of his actions. The man collapsed with the knee that landed on the floor first. The sound of a bone crack was so heartbreaking in Sergei's ear.

The Russian man knelt while covering both ears. He grew even more frightened as Matteo walked casually closer to him.

“Stop! Stop!” racau Sergei closed his eyes.

“I promised my Mia not to kill anyone again. So, I just hurt your men. They're not dead, but they're never gonna be able to hold a gun. I aimed at the bones that were in their palms. If the bone is destroyed, then let alone shoot, even to scoop spaghetti only their fingers will tremble,” Matteo laughed wide until his teeth look white and neat. Dimples are also created on the side of his lips.

Under normal circumstances, Matteo would look very handsome. But not in a situation like that. Sergei shuddered even more in horror at the real figure of Matteo de Luca. There was no aura of fear at all in the gray-eyed man from the moment he first stepped foot into the apartment. Matteo did not feel daunted even though he had been held by many weapons.

Sergei Redomir now began to realize and regret his actions. He admitted wrong for harassing the man who was currently standing gallantly in front of him while holding two pistols ready to shoot his head to shred if Matteo wanted to.

“I'm sorry, Mr. de Luca. I-I didn't mean ...” Sergei cupped his hands together.

“Tell me what really happened!” cut Matteo. His weapon was now moving right in front of Sergei Redomir's mouth.

“Talk honestly, or I'll make an exception. I'll break my promise to Mia. I'll kill you right now if I don't tell you the truth!” matteo Ancam.

“A-Adriano lied! Everyone lied to me,” Sergei increasingly mingled indistinctly.

“One ...” Matteo began to count as a marker that he did not like rambling. He figured it was the right time to shoot Sergei in the mouth. The trigger had already started to pull slowly.

“Wait! Waitaminute! Let me explain!” exclaimed Sergei in despair. While Matteo just took a slow breath.

“I'm the one who kidnapped Daniela! Adriano lied to you, because it wasn't Alex who kidnapped your brother-in-law, it was me! There's no way Alex could have done it anyway, because Daniela said that you killed her men, and maybe even Alex!” bright Sergei while panting.

“I only killed Alex's roaches, but your cowardly sister ran away before I could finish her!” furious Matteo. “Of course, if I knew of his whereabouts, then I would not forgive him! However, it turns out that until now I have not managed to find the jerk,” he continued.

“If it wasn't you who killed Alex, then is it possible that actually ...” Sergei fell silent and thought.
