Chapter 315 - 7.5 The Villain’s Heart
Clarity returned to Lu Yizhou in stages. First, he registered that he was currently laying on top of a soft clean-smelling bed, naked save for the bandages that almost made him look like a mummy. Second, the distinct smell of medicine was overpowering. Third, his body was numbed all over from the anesthetic but at least, he could still move his fingers.
His breathing didn’t falter as he switched to do it through his mouth. Then he tried to pick up the sounds from his surroundings. Faint footsteps, conversation, rustle of the trees, no second person nearby.

[666: Aye, aye Host *whisper* 666 has been waiting for this!]
The villain in this world, Moshe ’Angel of Death’ Morelli, was the leader of one of the biggest mafia clans in the world, The Void. He gained the nickname for his rumoured beauty — yes rumoured because Moshe didn’t actually like to appear in public and always delegated his right hand man, Kaede the Poison Blade — that could even make the most beautiful woman ashamed. It was unfortunate that contrary to his look, his heart was sinister, ugly and black. He smiled when he butchered people and he laughed when the others cried in agony.
He was one of the strongest and most influential figures in the world, with an extensive connection to the police and government alike, making him the most dangerous man ever.
Enter the male protagonist, Zion ’Ice Madman’ Tenley, the leader of another terrifying mafia clan, Cobalt Fang, who had been The Void’s rival for decades. Like every male protagonist, he was cold, icy and aloof; unfeeling even when he executed a massacre on his entire family the day he was crowned as the Leader. Hence the nickname.
Moshe and Zion had been fighting for years with no clear outcome. True nemesis, one could say. They were evenly matched in strength, wits and intelligence.
Moshe’s advantage lay in his charisma because he had tons of loyal and exceptional members who were ready to die for him, one of them was Kaede.
