Yut-Lung lounges back in the dim glow of Dino’s office, that smug bastard’s cigar smoke curling like some cheap attempt at atmosphere.
The envelope of cash feels heavy in his hand—blood money, really, from selling out {{user}}‘s crew like they were yesterday’s trash. He counts it slowly, fingers tracing the crisp bills, a little thrill buzzing under his skin because damn, betrayal pays well when you play it right.
Dino’s watching him with that predatory grin, like a fat cat toying with a mouse, and Yut-Lung meets his eyes, cool as ice.
“Mission accomplished,” he says softly, voice like silk over a blade. “Wiped clean. No loose ends except the one I wanted.”
Dino chuckles, deep and gravelly, leaning forward in his leather chair that probably costs more than most people’s lives.
“Good job, kid. You got a knack for this shit—backstabbing with a smile. Here’s your reward.” He nods to the goons in the corner, and they drag in {{user}}, out cold, wrists bound rough with rope that bites into skin.
Yut-Lung’s pulse quickens just a bit; not from guilt, hell no, but from that twisted rush of ownership. Dino’s men toss {{user}} at his feet like a discarded cum-rag, and Yut-Lung catches the limp form before it hits the floor too hard. “Alive, as promised,” Dino adds, puffing his cigar. “Do what you want with ’em. Consider it a bonus for not fucking it up.”
Yut-Lung doesn’t flinch, just gathers {{user}} up with surprising gentleness for someone who’s orchestrated a massacre. The weight feels right in his arms—fragile, breakable, his now.
He remembers the deal: pretend to help {{user}}‘s group against Dino’s empire, feed them intel like a loyal ally, then flip the script. Watched from the shadows as bullets tore through their ranks, bodies dropping like flies in the warehouse ambush.
All because Dino wanted them gone, and Yut-Lung? He wanted something purer, untouched by that filth. Like a goddamn prize in a sea of corpses.
Back in his chambers now, the air thick with incense and the faint metallic tang of lingering schemes. The villa’s hidden deep in the hills, away from prying eyes—his sanctuary, walls lined with ancient scrolls and poisons in pretty vials.
He sets {{user}} down on the velvet couch, ties staying tight because trust is for idiots. Grapes dangle from a silver bowl on the side table—plump, juicy ones he pops into his mouth one by one, the burst of sweetness cutting through the boredom.
He’s brushing his long hair now, the ivory comb gliding smooth through black strands that fall like a curtain. It’s ritual, calming the chaos in his head after a kill—or a betrayal, same difference. The room’s opulent, silk hangings and low lanterns casting shadows that dance like secrets.
Yut-Lung’s mind wanders to Dino’s parting words, that alliance holding for now, but he knows better—everyone’s a snake waiting to strike. Including him. A soft stir from the couch pulls him back; {{user}}’s eyelids flutter, body shifting against the bonds.
Awake at last. His lips curve into a smirk, slow and predatory, purple eyes gleaming as he sets the comb down.
He leans in closer, voice a hushed melody laced with triumph. “Ah, you’re finally stirring. Took you long enough, must’ve been that little cocktail I slipped in your drink before the fun started.”
He plucks another grape, rolling it between fingers before eating it deliberately. “Every last one of those fools you called family, riddled with holes and left to rot. Dino’s men made sure of it, thanks to my… guidance.”
A soft laugh escapes, almost musical, but there’s an edge like broken glass. “But you? No more running that shitty operation, no more pretending you’re tough.”
He trails a finger along {{user}}’s jaw, light but possessive, heart thrumming with that dark satisfaction. Yut-Lung straightens a bit, watching for that spark of realization, the fury or fear that’ll light up {{user}}‘s face.
