Chapter 341: 341


    “Grab some of that ice and ce it on your head.” I pointed to the tin bucket with ice. <center></center><hr>


    “Ah~ this feels good hermano! Thanks!” Mr. Cuervo said.


    I was silently staring at him for a while and the room quieted down.


    “Hermano, I told you my story, and thank you for listening to me. Can you tell me yours? I’ll ept whatever you do to me, but the reason for your hatred, I gotta know.” Mr. Cuervo deeply sighed.


    “We need a drink, bring more out. I did say I’ll tell you my side of the story.” I replied, looking down.


    “Yes! Yes, hermano!” Mr. Cuervo pulled out bottle after bottle.


    I downed several sses and told him what happened to my family that night. I don’t know how much time had passed since we’ve been here but it felt like it was just an instant. I could me it on the amount of alcohol we’ve consumed but my head was clear as day despite that.


    Two men were just talking to each other several floors underground. No distractions and no bullshit.


    He listened to everything that I said and he never mentioned anything about my parents being weak when they got killed by someone whose brain was already fried from the substance. I’m not sure if it was giving me respect or something else but his expression revealed it. He was giving me the same look when he talked about seeing his mother dead from an overdose. It was different how his only known parent diedpared to mine but it was caused by the same thing. The same thing that somehow had made a part of how we were today.


    After I told him my story, we were just sitting with a ss in our hands while staring nkly at the ceiling. Words were already exchanged but now we needed to exchange silence.


    The silence was only broken when the ice at the bottom of the ss gave out and the ones on top fell over.


    “Hermano, saying sorry won’t help in your situation but I’ll say it anyway. I’m sorry for doing what I did. What I did before, it indirectly caused what happened to your parents. I don’t even want to head down the path in figuring out who brought those things to that f.u.c.ker who killed them. It was all in cirction and I was part of it. I know, I’m a bad person through and through. Despite that, I am trying my best to getpletely out but the past would always drag me back once I thought I was about to. It is f.u.c.k.i.n.g hard to go legit, trust me. However, I am still trying my hardest.” Mr. Cuervo said.


    “Hmm, you know someone said, ‘What is better- to be born good, or to ovee your evil nature through great effort?''” I muttered.


    “Isn’t that the dragon where those priests live high in the mountains? Party Snacks or something?” Mr. Cuervo chuckled faintly. <center></center><hr>


    “Yeah, killed him in my first ythrough though.” I replied.


    “What?! You f.u.c.k.i.n.g- well, looking at your katana, I guess you made a biased decision.” Mr. Cuervo said.


    “I did. How did you know that game?” I asked.


    “Well, my kids wanted to have that game for years and I bought them the best PCs and the ultimate copies. However, I’m the one who ended up ying until I finished the main storyline. Was good, not gonna lie. I didn’t kill Party Snacks though.” he downed another ss.


    “Paarthurnax.” I muttered.


    “Ah- f.u.c.k you hermano, I can’t pronounce that shit. I wish my kids and I could y that together, that would be awesome.” Mr. Cuervo poured one for me.


    “You could.” I said after sipping on the ss.


    “What?! How?!” he was so shocked his mustache almost fell off.


    “Mods. There’s a lot more you could do by using them, not just ying together. More skills, weapons, storylines, even boob physics.” I replied and he was mindblown.


    “Hermano, before we talk more about that, are we good?” Mr. Cuervo asked.


    “Are we? I just threatened to kill you. I’m sorry, I got to get to the bottom of things before I decide on something difficult.” I replied.


    “Well, not gonna lie, I was upset but now I understand your situation. We’re good.” Mr. Cuervo said.


    “Well, not gonna lie either, I was about to kill you the first time I knew about your past but like ‘Party Snacks’, I understand your situation. We’re good. For the record, I didn’t kill him on the rest of my ythroughs.” I replied while slightly copying his words. <hr>


    “Hah! Well, it’s fine to threaten people in my rules hermano. Just don’t do it for real while inside, heh.” Mr. Cuervo breathed a sigh of relief as he chuckled.


    I offered him a handshake and he gave me a strong one. We downed another ss and I made another friend.


    I decided to tell him the general direction from where we came from and about the specials that we faced in my city. I showed him the videos of the things I’ve doc.u.mented so this ce would be aware of the danger that wasing. I told him about the abomination we saw in Irene’s ce and he was shocked and disgusted. It seemed that he doesn’t like anything with extra limbs and he was getting goosebumps.


    I left it to him to find the culprit and he said it would be part of his priority. However, I would still be on the lookout myself and even Irene’s group.


    The next item I told him about was finding thest two members of the Russian Army. It took me some consideration first but I revealed the real backstory of our Retired MMA Fighter but not my Security Detail for good measure. I told him that having someone like Tatiana made me convince Ilya toe over to my side. Our agreement was that he needs to bring them to me alive and well and in exchange, he could keep a generous portion of their gear. Some of them we wouldn’t be able to take home, for example, were the HUMVEEs unless we bring the cargo helicopter here.


    I never told him of my ‘associates’ yet who are Iskoh and Rod, not until he decided on something we talked about that he should do personally. He asked for some time and I gave him till next month. I gave him lots of time because doing something like that without issue needs careful nning and great execution. He gave me something in exchange for the time given to him and we shook hands once more.


    We finished a couple of bottles just by talking to each other but then he had an idea.


    “Hey! Hermano! Before we f.u.c.k.i.n.g forget, teach me how you y together!” Mr. Cuervo excitedly said.


    “Well, the files are not on my phone here. They’re in my bag in my room.” I replied.


    “Then off we go! Vamonos! Mas rapido! My kids would love it when they wake up tomorrow! Teach me how to do it here and I’ll remember it for their PCs tomorrow!” he immediately stood up.


    He quickly dragged me the same way back and he didn’t even ask me to turn around when he’s typing the codes. Looking at it, it was pretty straightforward and I could operate it by myself. I guess he didn’t mind now but I was pleasantly surprised by knowing the codes.


    They were his kids and his wife’s birthdays.


    We came up to the gym and passed by several people on the way. We immediately reached my room and when I opened it, someone dragged me aggressively. <hr>


    “Oh my~ You got a feisty wife there hermano! Hahahaha!” Mr. Cuervo eximed.


    Kaley was shocked to see Mr. Cuervo behind me while she was in the process of undressing me. She was only wearing a silk robe and she immediately shrank down.


    “Oh! Ahaha… didn’t see you there Mr. Cuervo…” Kaley muttered.


    “No problem, no problem. We were just here on important business and we need to get something from his bag, right hermano?” Mr. Cuervo said.


    “Yeah, wait- can shee down with us?” I asked.


    “Your woman? Sure! Whoever wanted toe with you herma-” then the closet opened.


    “We’lle too!” Tatiana eximed, blushing from drinking a bit much.


    “What are you doing here?! What do you mean by we?!” Kaley was shocked.


    “You didn’t know she was there?!” Mr. Cuervo and I simultaneously eximed.


    “Hi~ Tatiana told me we should hide and see what happens here… it’s already been a couple of hours and I’m sleepy… My phone was about to die too… Hi friend~ I said we’d talkter, right? It is pastter now, where were you~? We’re waiting here for hours! Kaley didn’t even notice us… hehehe~” Cynthia slowly came out with her eyelids almost dropping but she was holding an empty bottle.


    “Cynthia! What are you doing here?!” Mr. Cuervo eximed.


    “Hey~! Don’t f.u.c.k.i.n.g scream at me Marco Antonio Cuervo!” Cynthia suddenly snapped.


    Kaley and Tatiana’s eyes widened from shock. <hr>


    “You don’t talk to your brother like that!” Mr. Cuervo also snapped.


    “WHAT?!” Kaley and Tatiana eximed.


    “Brother?! You’re like my dad because of how old you are! You f.u.c.k.i.n.g chulo!” Cynthia eximed.


    “They’re both drunk but Cynthia’s in the deep end.” I thought to myself.


    “Cynthia! You’re drunk! Go to your room and sleep now! I have something important to do!” Mr. Cuervo ordered.


    “No! I’ming with wherever my friend is going! Kaley and Tatiana areing, I will too!” Cynthia linked with Kaley and Tatiana’s arms before marching outside.


    “Cynthia! We don’t even know where they’re going!” Tatiana eximed while being dragged.


    “They’re still inside the room!” Kaley added.


    “Oh, HURRY UP YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G CHULO!!! Friend, please hurry a bit before I fall asleep, do you have a charger I could use?” Cynthia dragged the two back.


    “She’s f.u.c.k.i.n.g strong dragging those two easily..” I thought to myself.


    “Type C, right? I have one, want me to bring a power bank? Or you’ll just stick it in the outlet?” I asked.


    “Hehehe~ Stick it in~ hehehe~ You heard what he said? My friend said stick it in~ hehehe~” Cynthia grinned.


    Now I was more afraid of her than anyone.
