Fearless in the presence of the devil

“Can I pass?” Kon asked in a calm voice.

“You—”

“It's okay. I will take it from here.” The devil who has gotten tired of watching his men make a fool of themselves decided to take matters into his hands.

He knew if he does nothing, they will end up arguing with the boy until morning.

“Okay, boss.” The men bowed to him before they left, with their hearts feeling heavy for the poor boy who doesn't know what he has gotten himself into.

“Do you—” Kon turned, intent on giving the so-called devil peace of his mind. However, the words in his throat froze when he saw the handsome man standing a distance from him.

To call the devil Handsome will be an understatement of the century.

He was more than handsome, with his chiselled jaw, and too-bright green eyes that seemed as if it was trying to suck everyone in.

His black hair glistened in the dark, and it seemed to accentuate his features.

However, that wasn't what caught Kon's attention.

It was the scar on the side of his face. The scar ran from the tip of his hair, down the left side of his face.

However, instead of making the man ugly, it intensified his beauty. The scar made him more handsome than ever.

“Are you satisfied with just looking at me, or do you want to take a picture?” The man smirked as he watched the boy.

This wasn't the first time something like this has happened to him.

It frequently happens.

Everyone who sees him always ends up gawking at him, like fools.

“Who do you think you are?” Kon scoffed at him.

To say the devil was shocked, was just like skidding over his emotions.

His eyes widened at not only the boy's words but the expression on his face.

This was the first time someone has spoken to him in that manner, with that expression on their face.

“You amuse me, boy.” He smirked as he gave the pretty boy a once over. “What do you say? We go to my car, and talk things out?”

He said confidently, thinking Kon will leap at such an offer.

“What do you want from me, Mister? If you have nothing important to say, I have somewhere to be.” Kon glanced around at the men in suits who were scattered as if waiting for him to bolt, to catch him.

“Do you know who you are talking to?” The Devil tilted his head to the side as he watched the boy.

"And you think I care about that?” Kon narrowed his eyes at the so-called devil. “Whatever you are, and whoever you might be, I don't care.”

The devil was taken aback by his words.

He knew the boy was fearless; however, he was surprised by the way the boy spoke to him.

“You—”

“I'm leaving,” Kon said before he started for the alley he initially wanted to go through, but the devil stopped him, by holding his hand.

“I'm not through with—”

He didn't get to complete his words before Kon slapped him.

The devil's men gasped in fear.

Scorpion stood by the side and watched them as he tried to think of the right place to bury the boy's carcass.

“Don't you ever touch me!” Kon removed his hand from a stunned Devil's and left. He half expected the men to rush at him, but none of them did so.

Not because they didn't try. They were stopped by the devil.

“It's okay.” He touched his cheeks as he watched the boy leave.

If he hasn't already determined to make the boy his, the boy's actions now, made him eager to tie the boy to his bed and show him what discipline means.

“Sir, we—”

“Follow the boy.” He commanded when he entered his car.

“Sir, do you need me to kid—” The scorpion started to say, but the devil cut him off.

“Follow him.” He said in a tight voice.

“Okay, sir.”

Unbeknownst to Kon who was still fuming in anger at what just transpired between him and the devil, the devil was stalking him.

“If only I had kicked him in his manhood, I would have been happy.” Kon thought out loud.

He has long left the alley behind and was now walking through the deserted street where his house was located in.

The street itself was known as the lair of thugs; however, Kon wasn't afraid of anything as he walked through the streets.

Three men came out from the shadows and blocked his path.

“What a pretty young lad.” One of the men sneered.

“Gosh, when was the last time you brushed your mouth?” Kon covered his nose to wade off the pungent odour coming from the man's mouth.

“It's you, *****!” The man sneered in anger.

The two men beside him tried not to cover their noses with their palms at the pungent odour coming from their leader's mouth.

It will be seen as an act of disrespect should they do something of that sort.

Meanwhile, the devil had Scorpion pack the car a distance from where Kon and the men were.

“What should we do, sir?” Scorpion asked as he got ready to do whatever the devil requested.

“Don't do anything now. Let's just watch and wait for them to beat him up.” He smirked, “I will swoop in and save the day. Then, he will—”

The Devil realized what he was saying out loud a bit too late.

“Okay, sir,” Scorpion said as he hid the surprise in his voice.

Scorpion just doesn't understand what was going on with his boss. This isn't how his master was.

He has never seen the devil act the way he did with the boy.

No one has ever touched the devil and lived to tell the tale.

But here they are, waiting for the boy to be beaten to a pulp, so the devil can swoop in and save the day.
