Young Mafia Master's Wife

Chapter 36 - Meeting Ethan Again

...༻❀༺...

Ryan put a gun to Ethan's head. His index finger is ready to pull the trigger. He who did not say a word must have frightened Ethan.

"Wait, wait. Listen to me first, Ryan!" ethan says. He downed his own saliva before speaking again. "You need me. I'm sure of it! You know I'm the best drug concocter..." Ethan spoke while breathing. His hand was holding Ryan's arm. "I can help you. The Black Cindicate was really stupid. They took all our stuff. But not the maker. They don't know my skills. But you..." Ethan tries as much as possible to persuade Ryan. His eyes appeared a hopeful twinkle.

Ryan spoke a thousand languages. He was a little influenced by Ethan's words. But when he remembers Ethan's betrayal of him, Ryan certainly doesn't want to believe that easily.

"I don't want to fall a second time. You've been hiding all this time, and you've been telling Mr. June to go undercover as the leader of The Drugs. You really are an unbelievable person!" ryan insisted, the more tightened his grip.

"I know! But I'm alone now! Mr. June and my men are gone. Let me be part-"

Ethan has not finished his sentence, Ryan first threw it on the floor. Ethan was silent for a moment. The pain was gnawing on his body.

"Now you intend to join The Shadow Holo? Because all the mafia organizations you know just threw you away?! You think I'm trash?! Who would want to accept you to be a part of us?! Nah! I even say your name!" ryan growled with a blocked eye toward Ethan.

"But he has a point, Ryan." John suddenly entered the conversation. "If he's an expert at making shabu concoctions or whatever it is, won't his existence benefit us? Moreover, you are going through a cooperation crisis, because The Black Cindicate managed to dominate everything. If he joins us, maybe things can change" he continued at length. It made Ryan start thinking.

"I beg you, Ryan. I'm now also one of the people who hates The Black Cindicate... I will do anything to destroy them... You know, they bombed my secret base..." Ethan spoke slowly. He still looked weak due to the injuries he had on his body.

Ryan looked at Ethan who was still slumped under his feet. A rough gasp of breath was released from his mouth. Ryan immediately handed the gun to one of his subordinates. He decides he'll give Ethan a chance.

"I'll take you to the base. But if I find out you're betraying or throwing a tantrum, then I won't hesitate to shoot you in the head!" ryan with all his threats. "Bring him! For a while tie him up and lock him in the room!" ryan's orders, which now speak to his subordinates.

Ethan is then put in the car. The same goes for Ryan and John. The two sit next to each other. This time, John sat in front of the wheel.

"A wise decision, Ryan. I hope you can do it to your three wives, too" John said, focusing on driving.

Ryan stayed silent for a long time. He is seen playing an antique in his hand. Stuck out the window.

"You know, John. Said the elder of the Elmika tribe I met, everything would be ruined if one of the wives chose to leave. That's what made me hesitate to tell Ruby, Megan and Sarah the truth" Ryan said without turning to John.

"What?! You're still weighing up the decision because of the tribe? C'mon Ryan. Throw away your obsession with the Elmika tribe, and think logically. Let's see what happens, even if your three wives are together, your business still has setbacks." John gave me advice.

"I know! But my organization wasn't completely destroyed. It's just business, it's normal to find a setback!" sahut Ryan's. Stick to his stance.

"Give up, I'm done!" John raised one of his hands into the air. A sign that he has given up on Ryan's obsession.

The silence happened long enough. Eventually Ryan returned to voice. "But in hindsight, I should have given them clarity" he said.

"Yes, what's wrong with trying. I'm sure Ruby would love to hear your clarity. He doesn't know about the fake chase plan you've been pursuing, does he?" John looked at Ryan.

Ryan nodded and said no. He certainly wouldn't say it to Ruby. It never will. There are actually many secrets that Ryan keeps about his third wife. And every time he thought about it, then a sense of uneasiness immediately enveloped. Ryan who almost never felt fear, can now know how it feels. Especially when you think of Ruby.

Max feels guilty for Ruby, while on a cruise ship mission. So he tried to repair his friendship. Although Ruby was not that easy to forgive him.

"Your punch is getting better!" said Max. He stood in the back to watch.

"I knew. Mike's been working so hard training me" Ruby replied. Causing Mike to automatically lower his head. The black man felt unworthy to be compared to Max. Although he was bigger, everyone in the base knew that Max was the best when it came to fighting techniques. He even defeated Sarah in a fight.

"Okay, then. Call me if you need my help." Max chose to leave. He had already given up on facing Ruby's indifferent attitude.

Buk up! Dhuaks!

Ruby continued to beat up the samsak with her remaining energy. The sweat had washed most of his body. It had been over half an hour the girl was training.

"Ruby, we better stop training today. You'll be exhausted" Mike suggested, wiping the sweat off a small towel.

"You go first, Mike. I'm not finished yet!" sahut Ruby's. Still struggling with the samsak in front of him.

"Okay, I'm handing him over to you, Gabe!" Mike spoke to his brother. Gaby looks busy exercising with one of the gym tools.

Hearing orders from her brother, Gaby stops her activities. He walked up to Ruby and said, "Mike's right, you better get some rest. I know this exercise is important to you, but you won't have energy if you're tired and don't eat."

"I'm not finished!" Ruby still fell asleep punching the samsak in front of her. Honestly, Ruby from the beginning imagined that the samsak she hit was Sarah. He remembered the trivia Sarah had done.

"You want pizza with macaroni and hot sauce? Because I just ordered it," added Gaby trying to tease Ruby's thirst.

As Gaby alleged, Ruby will not refuse pizza with macaroni. The girl immediately removed the gloves, then stopped her training. Ruby and Gaby came out of the training room.

While on her way to the elevator, Ruby accidentally crosses paths with Ryan and some of her subordinates. Ryan's face looked serious. Behind him was a man tied up. Ruby felt no stranger to the figure of the man.

"Who is he?" asked Gaby while squinting. Slowly Ryan and his entourage got closer.

Ryan's expression, which had been serious, immediately turned into a smile when he saw Ruby. Moreover, his wife looked fresh with sweat that soaked her body. Ryan then stopped his steps in front of Ruby, then turned to face his subordinates who also automatically stopped.

"Look, Ruby. He's the one who hurt you on the yacht, right? Now he knows the pain of the bruise you felt the other day." Ryan's hand pointed towards his captive.

Ruby looked at the man she thought was no stranger. He had trouble recognizing, as the man's face was covered in blood and bruises. But after a good look, Ruby finally recognized him.

"Ethan?" ruby's eyelids widen. He feels a bit uncomfortable with the wound Ethan got. He felt that it was too much. He looked at Ryan immediately. His forehead shriveled deep. "Ryan, why did you bring him here? Why did you torture him so. I told you-"

"I'll make sure he won't bother you, Babe. He will be held in the room" Ryan said as he briefly peeked at Ruby's thin cheeks. Then leave Ruby. The same thing is done by all his employees. They drag the helpless looking Ethan.
