Chapter:2
Who are you?


In the dark, smoke-filled room of a seedy underground club, Zack held court.

His reputation preceded him—ruthless, cunning, and always one step ahead of his enemies.

The air was thick with tension as a new player entered the scene, a human trafficker who dared to kidnap the children from his empire without his authority.

One day a meeting was held in the dark, smoky room of the underground casino. All of his lowly, trustful henchmen were sitting beside him.

As a tense air passed, Zack demanded James in a high-pitched voice, asking, "What happened? Any information?" in an angry tone.

Even though James is the right hand of Zack, he still fears Zack.

In a trembling state, James exclaimed, "Yeah, I found their whereabouts. Right now, they are in an abandoned area located at xxxxxx."

As Zack hears this, he gets up from his chair, rushing and telling others to follow him.

He arrives near that place and hides himself from enemies on the other side. James hacks their security and ensures that the enemy doesn’t know that they were here to rescue the children.

Successfully, he finishes his task. Zack enters the building with a gun in his hand.

He finds a few children on the first floor. He orders his henchmen to come and rescue them as there are no enemies on the first floor.

He silently climbs the staircase and reaches the second floor, where he hides behind a pillar to check for enemies. He finds five enemies on the second floor. He orders his men who are waiting to shoot them. After successfully defeating the enemies, his henchmen came and rescues them.

While he moves to the third floor, an enemy pops out from somewhere. He tightens his hand and aims to shoot his head. The enemy gets shot in the head.

He arrives at the third floor. To his surprise, it's not just a room in the dimly lit but a room of a secluded nightclub, and he saw his enemy sitting on the chair and waiting for him to come find him.

He told him to sit on a chair near a table full of drinks. Zack sat calmly at a table, his steely gaze fixed on the man sitting before him.

The man, known as Vincent, was a notorious villain who had been causing chaos in the city for months.

As Vincent demanded, 'Who are you?' Zack tugged his gun from the back of his pocket and leaned back in his chair, a sly smile spreading across his face.

'I am Zack Forthrich, but you may know me better as Z,' he replied.

His voice low and menacing. 'And you, my friend, have been causing quite a stir in my city.'

Vincent's eyes narrowed as he assessed the man before him. Despite the calm exterior, there was a dangerous energy emanating from Zack that sent a shiver down his spine

"Well, Z," Vincent sneered, "I've heard of your reputation. But let me assure you, I am not one to be trifled with."

Zack chuckled darkly, his eyes glittering with amusement. "Oh, I have no doubt about that," he said. "But you see, in my city, there's only room for one true ruler. And that, my friend, is me."

As the tension crackled between them, it was clear that Zack was inevitable.

With a smirk on his face, the villain looked Z straight in the eye and asked, "Who are you to think you can control this city?"

"I am the king of this city," he yelled back at Vincent in an aggressive look. "And this is my empire, no one dared to control it other than me."

And slowly he takes his gun from his pocket and says, "One kingdom, one king, and one true ruler. The strongest wins the crown, and the weakest loses their head." At that instant, he shoots head".

( After a while)

Zack ordered his men to come and clean this area as soon as possible before the cops arrives, and rescue all the children safely and return them to their parents.

While Zack was about to retreat, he saw a girl covered in blood, indicating she was tortured by the enemies.

He couldn't hold his anger and yelled, 'Rubicca, where are you?' (one of his trustful persons).
She rushed over there instantly. He asked her in an angry manner, 'I told you to rescue every child and return them to their parents. What is this child doing here?.

' Rubicca replied, 'I am sorry, Zack. I will do that immediately.' But the child held his hand and said, 'Thank you.'
After that, she left with Rubicca to meet her parents.

Zack returned to his mansion with a sad face when he saw the girl covered in blood.
