Ming's POV

Never have I ever wanted to face this kind of situation in my life. I have to distribute notice of the missing person about my P'Kit Kat to strangers in a random street in the busy Bangkok city.

Even when I know where he is and how he is, I couldn't meet or talk to him.

Uncle Ben said that he passed P'Kit Kat's phone to Satan, and he may contact me anytime. But, with my P'Kit Kat's personality, I'm sure that he is holding back from calling me.

He wouldn't want to harm other people in this mission by contacting me. It could leave a trace for the opponent to track him or me. He would probably know that I would run to him the moment I hear his voice again too.

As soon as this all mess ends, I could finally see my P'Kit Kat. But am I the best option for him? His life would be in danger as long as he is with me. I don't want him to go through another circumstance like this.

"Ai'Ming, I have distributed the notice all around this area. Let's go to the spot now," said Wayo as he reached my side.

Wayo was saying something to me. But as I look at him, all the things he has done for me go through my mind like a slow-motion movie. Without him, I wouldn't be here today. And that's why I can't risk his life in this mission.

Wayo is too into his role in this mission as he didn't even sleep for a bit last night. And, I'm sure he will do everything in his power to protect me from the kidnappers as per plan. I can't allow him to get hurt because of me.

"Yo, Uncle Ben called. He told me that we have to act as if we are distributing notice in different spots. Then, you have to enter the scene while I'm getting attacked, not be with me in the scene from the beginning," I said sternly.

"But, Uncle Ben didn't mention anything like that to me, na. Let me ask him why the sudden change in the plan," replied Wayo as he took out his phone to contact Uncle Ben for confirmation.

"Wayo! We don't have time. Keep moving now," I ordered him as I quickly left that spot.

I should leave before he finds out my plan. He is quick-witted. It won't be long before he figures out my solo plan.

As per the initial plan, I reached my spot and started to give out the notice. Any moment now, the Italian Mafia could show up and kidnap me.

I should be ready.

"Everything will be alright, right, Ai'Beam?" asked Phana as he walked back and forth in his dorm room.

He and Beam submitted the anatomy assignment to the faculty and reached the dorm as Beam's father's order. Phana has been panicking since then, and Beam is tense by the whole Plan X.

Not only worried about Ming, Kit or P'San that he never met before. Beam is concern about his boyfriend, who is out there working on the secret mission with his boys together with his father, and most importantly, Phana.

If Kit didn't return safely today or if any bad thing happens to his Wayo on the mission, Phana will lose his mind. The great Phana has always been the one to give order and keep everything under control. Being submissive and under other's protection while being helpless is something he would never agree to before this incident.

If something goes wrong while he was vulnerable, Phana will never forgive himself.

"Ai'Pha, sit down for a while, will you? You are making me dizzy," Beam complained as he tried to calm the tense Phana.

"They should have started the plan by now. Our people will be safe under Uncle Ben, right?" he asked again, a bit panicking.

"Pa promised to look after them, Pha. He will keep his promise. We shouldn't panic now. The boys will be here, any moment now," Beam reasoned while he was trying his best from freaking out.

//Knock, Knock//

"Ai'Beam, did you order something online? Who's at your door?" questioned Phana doubtfully.

"No. I didn't order anything for months now," replied Beam tensed.

"Who could that be? Is the Italian Mafia get to us as well?"

"Ai'Pha, will you shut up. We are safe here,"

"Then, who is outside? They keep knocking on the door," stated Phana on defence as he was ready to fight anybody who walks past that door.

"Let me check," said Beam as he slowly approached the door.

On the count of three, he opened the door with Phana close by to attack the intruders.

"Ai'Kitty!!!" called out Beam as Phana stands in his spot, shocked.

Wayo's POV

The spot that Ming made me distribute notice is quite crowded. I can't leave without giving out the note to at least half of them to look like I'm seriously giving out these papers. But the time is ticking, and I'm late on the plan. The kidnappers could get to Ming any minute now.

Just as I was about to leave my spot to get to Ming, my phone goes off. It's a call from P'Kao.

"Hello, P'Kao," I greeted him.

"Nong Yo, where are you? Have the kidnappers got to Nong Ming already? Did any of you were hurt badly?" he asked me tensely.

"Haven't P'Kao. Why are you asking me, P? The kidnappers are not here yet. And why did Uncle Ben change my spot at the last minute?" I asked the question that has been bucking me since Ming send me away to P'Kao instead.

"What are you saying? He didn't change any spots, na," P'Kao stated panic.

"What?!" was all I could say.

"Nong Yo, I called you to inform you that Ai'San and Nong' Kit has returned safely to the dorm. I just received a call from Nong Forth. Nong Beam called him a few minutes ago," he added.

'Wait, wait, wait. P'San and P'Kit shouldn't return to the dorm until the whole plan ends. Or at least until Ai'Ming gets captive,' I thought in my mind.

And then, everything clicks into the right place.

"Ai'Ming, you asshole!" I cursed out as I understand why there was a sudden change in the initial plan.

"I got to go, P'Kao. I'll contact you later," I replied as I hang up the call.

I ran towards the initial spot as I drop the notice on the street without care about it.

'Why do you have to eliminate me from the plan, Ai'Ming?

Why can't you depend on me?'

I ran as fast as I can. I never ran this fast in my entire life before.

'I can't let you get hurt. You can't leave me like this.'

As I reached the place, I saw a beaten-up Ming getting dragged into a minivan. He is unconscious, but a few blows can't take him down. What did they do to him?

"Ai'Ming!!!!" I shouted as I fasten my steps towards the van. They quickly got on the minivan and started to drive away.

"HEI, LEAVE MY FRIEND!!!!" I screamed as I continued to run behind the van.

But unfortunately, the van was faster than me, and I lose them. It was the initial plan. I was supposed to let him get kidnapped. Still, watching him getting kidnapped like this hurts me.

I was supposed to get beaten up, not Ming. I should have been beside him, fight along beside him during times like this. Yet, I wasn't there beside him. That idiot made me leave him purposely to protect me.

"You better be alive and get out of this safely, Ai'Ming.

Or else, I'll kill you myself," was all I could say as my eyes become a blur with tears.

"Nong Yo!" called someone a bit far from me.

I saw P'Pete get to me and held me as I started to cry in his arms.

I wanted to be secure for everybody. I wanted to protect my people and avoid any harm that comes towards them. And I failed.

The tears won't stop coming out of my eyes no matter how much I tried to control them. So, I let them be as I wept in P'Pete's arm.

"It's okay, Nong Yo. Nong Ming will be alright. He has the tracker in him. They will spot him as per plan. Don't worry," he tried to console me.

"P, let's go to Uncle Ben. I want to make sure that idiot is safe," I urged him to meet Uncle Ben.

"Nong Yo, that will sabotage the plan. We can't do that," he reasoned.

"Then what do I do, P'Pete? They took him away in front of me. He was not even conscious. I don't know what they did to him."

"I understand, Nong. Let's get back to the dorm first. Let's trust Uncle Ben in this. Okay?" he asked with the same concern in his voice.

"Please get my friend back safely, P. I promised P'San to keep him safe," I said as I hold onto P'Pete for balance. I could feel my energy become weak.

Blame the sleepless nights I spend worrying about everything and how stressful my life has been for my sudden unconsciousness. Maybe I'm not as strong as I assumed.

'I wish that everything gets better when I wake up again,' was all I think about before my consciousness slips away.

Flashback to a few minutes ago,

Ming's POV

After 20 minutes of giving out the notes, I saw a black minivan park by the roadside. If I'm not mistaken, it's the kidnappers send by the Italian Mafia to get me.

I noticed no movement from the van as I continue doing my task. I purposely stepped onto my shoelaces as I spot two of the kidnappers get off the minivan.

I bent down to tie my shoelaces as I waited for them to reach me. Once I felt a hand on my shoulder, I was on my guard.

I guess Italian Mafia's are different from Thai Mafias. It's because they started to throw punches as soon as I face them, unlike the Thai Mafia, who would say something before they fight.

In a few minutes, I got surrounded by 6 of them. And all of them started to attack me at once in formation. My Muay Thai skills are not for a showcase. Therefore, I fought them as much as I can. I can actually take them down, but that would sabotage the plan, and I have to get caught before Wayo comes here.

I deliberately let them hit me in the face and ribcage for the best impact. One of the kidnappers hit me on my head with something hard. It hurt like hell, but not to the point of fainting. Still, I acted as if I'm getting weak.

They punched and kicked me a few times before they drag me towards the minivan by the roadside. Everything was perfectly going until Wayo showed up on the spot.

The kidnappers quickly shoved me into the minivan and drove away. I could hear Wayo's voice shouting and chasing after the minivan for some time before it finally stops.

'Why do you have to show up, meng?' was all I could think as they covered my face with a black cover.

I could hear the van drove away from the city as the city's noises slowly fade away.

~

I wonder why all Mafias are the same in the matter of choosing hideout or warehouses? I'm in a warehouse far from the city with my face still covered.

I acted as if I'm unconscious as they reach this spot. I felt them dragging me up a few floors before they finally tied me into a wooden chair.

Are they that poor? Why a wooden chair? Don't you guys have at least a metal chair?

I shouldn't be picky about this circumstance.

But, yeah.

I'm bored, and the Italian Mafia should have approached me by now. Where the hell is he?

My whole body hurts, and I'm sure that my abdomen would get swollen. Just as I was about to move my limbs, I heard a door get opened. I listened to a few rushed footsteps before a loud thud sound of pair of elite shoes.

"Still sleeping, I see?" was what I could hear as the cover on my face get pulled off roughly.

I blinked my eyes a few times to get my eyesight in check.

"Well, well, Look who's up," said the man in his expensive tailored suit.

Okay, he doesn't look like the typical Mafias from the cinema. He looks like a man in his mid-forties with clean-cut hair with a tailored suit, and expensive brand shoes.

I kept quiet as I stare at him angrily.

"You have your Dad's eye. The same fire in them," he said as he smiled sinisterly.

"Oh, are you a mute? Why are you not saying anything, my child?" he asked again.

"...."

"I think you're still shocked about the kidnap. Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything to you," the Mafia assured me nicely, which doesn't seem friendly at all.

"......"

"Where's my manner? Let me introduce myself. I'm Palo Cassano, the current only Mafia in Italy and an old rival of your Dad," he said happily.

"....."

I kept quiet despite him talking non-stop.

"You see, pretty boy, I don't need you. All I need is Satan. Your Uncle Aiden is the stupidest person I have ever seen in my life," he added.

"That's so true," I replied for the first time with a smirk. That was the first time the Mafia hear me talk.

"Ohhh, I like your voice. Sounds strong," Palo praised me.

I don't know why he keeps praising me, but that doesn't change the fact that he is an Italian Mafia, and he keeps me captive here.

"As I said before, I don't have any grudge or revenge against your Dad or Satan. I'm a businessman.

Revenge doesn't give me profit. It causes only damage.

So, let's wait till your Dad or your Satan reaches here," Palo concluded as he sat down comfortably on his head sofa.

Uncle Ben didn't explain phase two of Plan X to us. I know what to do until I get captive only. Anything after that, I have no idea about it.

Should provoke him?

Or

Should I be a good boy and stay silent?

As I was having my internal monologue, suddenly, the sound of a loud commotion filled the room. The kidnappers and the Mafia inside the room get restless. I thought I was the only clueless person in the room, but I was so wrong. Then everything becomes quiet in a few minutes.

"Boss," called the person beside Palo like he is asking for affirmation.

Before Palo could say anything, the doors opened from the outside, and Satan marched in casually. He walked in as if it was his place.

So this is what Uncle Ben meant when he says that Satan will handle phase two of Plan X by himself, huh?

"If you're so into me and wanted to meet me, you should have contacted me, Palo. Kidnapping, wiring my people, stalking me is tiresome and time-consuming, don't you think?" Satan casually asked as he sits right in front of Palo by the sofa.

"Satan......my dear nemesis, nice to meet you.

As you see, I'm not a villain.

I only want to meet you and talk business," Palo replied calmly, unlike his remaining standing man.

"I thought you already had a deal with Aiden? Why me? Is it because Aiden is no more? Or Am I worthy for your business?" challenged Satan.

"Aiden was only a tiny part of my plan to meet you in person. Helping him with the revenge was a lie. I don't encourage the dispute between the family, and I don't take part in betraying when it involves one's family.

If I help Aiden to betray his brother now, I can succeed.

YES!

But then it could give chances for others to betray me through my own family someday.

We never know who will stab us in the back in this business," he stated smoothly.

"Wow, what a motto you have there," mocked Satan as he checked something in his phone.

"That's not all the offer I have for you, Satan. I'm withdrawing from the Thailand market. My business in Italy is hectic as it is. I don't need another headache. I'll leave all the potential offers in here to you. All I want in return is your alliance with me.

You should backup me whenever I need your help," demanded Palo.

Satan was quiet for a few minutes as he was waiting for something. A notification entered his mobile, and he smirked as he read it.

"Well, you see, your lines were perfect, and you had the sentiment that could melt cold hearts.

But, I'm no average Mafia who will feel loyalty with your stupid motto of life and your withdrawal from Thailand like a coward," provoked Satan.

//Clap, Clap//

With the sound of Satan's clapping, more than a dozen black cats entered the room and rounded up the whole place. One of them releases me from the tied chair as he stands in front of me as a shield.

"What is this, Satan??!! How could you delude the Mafia law? We never work with the cops," exclaimed Palo in anger as his voice raised an octave.

"Dude, you're so loud," said Satan jokingly as he stands up and tidies his suit.

"Let me........introduce myself properly, Palo.

I'm Krist Lertchuchot, NIA officer undercover as Satan," announced Satan sternly by showing his ID card from his suit.

"I'm arresting you for illegal smuggling and illegal organ stealing for the past years in Thailand.

You're under arrest, Palo Cassano," he declared as he handcuffed Palo with the handcuff given by the black cats.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!! SATAN WAS A UNDERCOVER OFFICER??

WHAT??!!

HOW??!!

A lot of questions were running wildly in my head. I armed myself with multiple ways this meeting could go, but this is beyond any plot twist I expected.

As the black cats took Palo and his men under custody, I was left alone with Satan in the room. He slowly walked towards me with a warm smile decorating his face. He doesn't look as compelling as just now when he handles Palo.

"Your Uncle Ben is waiting downstairs for you. He will bring you back to the campus safely. Your cute boyfriend and Sanoh went to Nong Beam's dorm an hour ago.

Everything ends here today, Mingkwan.

You may enjoy your happy student life after this," he stated kindly to me as he patted my shoulders a few times and gestured me to leave the spot with a smile.
