Chapter 55: Challenge
Caden didn’t waste time and took them to Willow Green the next morning. She felt a little nervous because it was the first time she would learn how to defend herself.
They were welcomed by Rock and a long-haired guy called Dwayne. The latter was a bit different from the rest of the men. He was cheerful and talked a lot unlike Rock and the others. Dwayne also looked like a teenager, about the same age as Elijah.
"How old are you, Dwayne?" She asked.
"I’m fourteen, Miss." Dwayne answered.
In her eyes, the boy was more like a K-pop idol than one of the made men. She felt a little sad for him even though she didn’t know his story.
She wanted to ask further but she knew it was against the law of the mafia. Only the boss knows about everyone’s past lives before becoming one of the members of the mafia.
Caden took them to a gym in an old building that looked like a school in Willow Green. She was surprised to see more men inside and were all busy with their training and morning workouts.
A lot of them were shouting and watching two men fight in the center. She looked at Caden with a confused face.
"They do it all the time." He said.
One man approached them and bowed in front of Caden.
"Boss, are you here to spar with us?" The man asked.
"No. I’m here with my fiance, Alira. You didn’t meet her the last time she was here." Caden said.
