It was a starry night. The stars were shining brightly , the moon was at its eclipse. It was just a normal beautiful night. It felt as if the heaven's deities above were enjoying their toast.
However, no mqatter how beautiful the world looks, beneath the shining sky lies the rotten hearts of human.
In an ordinary dark valley , a place drenched of foul smell, a place no one would want to enter had about 50 men facing 50 more men.
They are the 2 biggest mafia gangs in the city, and between the two gangs were six people standing.
I stood there with my 2 other companions arguing with the 3 other leaders.
One of the opposing leader spoke
"You guys has to be kidding. To kill the son of one of our leader's in front of the crowd and call it an accident"
one of my companion replied in a seemingly careless tone
"heyy, man you gotta understand man , i didn't shoot the bullet knowing its was an important member of your gang"
It was a story a few days before, when our gang fought with the other gang to test our new recruits
During that time one of the new recruits of the other gang insulted my companion by calling him a coward for not fighting him.
Feeling insulted by the words. My companion took out his gun and shoot the new recruit of the opposing gang. However it was later known that the recruit was the son of one of the leaders of the gang.
This caused what was supposed to be a normal recruit evaluation of both gangs to turn into a dispute between the two gangs. Therefore the other gang came with their rightful need of compensation.
Now back to present the opposing gang's leader spoke.
"Shut up everyone knows that that kid is the son our gang leader, He was a promising talent. One who could replace his father. However your ruined our plans. I demand that we get our rightful compensation or it will lead to a full scale war."
The conditions of our gang haven't been the best, so a full scale war might just lead to the annihilation of us.
to prevent this my companion spoke in a sly voice
"We both know that a full scale war will lead to big troubles for both of us. so how about we give up one of our important person "
the opposing leader replied in a happy tone
"And who could that individual be whom you would give up"
my companion replied
"since we have killed your 'to-be leader' its only fair that we give up one of our own leader. So the individual who would be killed is our information master Jalon "
After hearing my name beings called out i excailmed in disbelief
"WHAT!, what are your saying. How can you sacrifice me, one of the original founder of the gang for just a mere kid"
my companion replied
"I am sorry to say to you bt your sacrifice is a must Jalon, you have helped us a lot but sorry you are no longer worthy of your position we have already discussed it with our members. You can now just rest in peac-"
"Bullshit, what do you mean i am no longer worthy of my position?, What do you mean you have discussed it with other members? "
Me being in disbelief looked at my gang's members. However I was only treated with pitiful gazes from them
"He is telling the truth Jalon. we have already discussed it and have come to this decision."
I stood there in a shocked state. The gang with whom I had spend entire decades of my life. The gang which I painstakingly built. The gang for which I sacrificed my everything. Betraying me just to settle a mere political dispute.
"Its was a fun journey with you, however this is the end. Have in the afterlife "
The man whom I once considered my companion, took out his gun and shot me in my heart.
"you were gaining to much influence "
*Bang*
Those were the last words I heard in my life.
