Valeria's men immediately opened fire on them with their weapons. A shootout ensued between her group and the small mafia group that was now their enemy. One by one, the members fell, hit by gunfire, while others immediately retreated and covered their wounded comrades.
Finally, the enemy group surrendered because they could not defeat the Scarlett members, who were much stronger than them. Their boss, who was trying to cover up Andreas's whereabouts, was immediately arrested by Valeria's men.
He was dragged towards the woman, terrified because his group had been defeated by the Scarlett mafia. One of Veleria's men placed a chair for their boss to sit on.
"Look who's finally crawling before me now." Valeria sat in her chair and stared at the man in front of her.
It turned out that the man's name was Jonathan, and he was one of the right handman of the Dragon Mafia's boss, a small mafia group that had hired members of the Scarlett Mafia to fight their rivals.
Jonathan claimed he didn't know where Andreas or his boss had gone. He was only trusted to guard their headquarters at that time along with his other subordinates. "I'm telling you the truth. Even if you do anything to me, my answer will remain the same. I don't know where our boss went."
Hearing this answer, Valeria felt very disappointed because she had wasted 25 minutes of her time just to deal with people who didn't even know where their boss was at the moment. Not to mention wasting their bullets on something useless.
"You wasted my time with an answer I didn't expect? Crawl over here and beg for my forgiveness." Her eyes narrowed sharply as she spoke emphatically to her current interlocutor.
The man named Jonathan immediately crawled in front of her and apologized.
"That's not how you apologize to me. You must kiss my feet, do it or you will die right now."
Her men immediately pointed their guns at Jonathan, and out of fear of her threat, he was forced to do what the cruel woman asked. He lowered his body and kissed the red-haired woman's shoes.
"Forgive me, Miss Scarlett, I beg you to spare my life. I won't bother the Scarlett Mafia. I also don't know where Boss Andreas went. So please forgive me. I have a child and a wife that I still have to take care of," said Jonathan, begging for forgiveness in front of the woman while kissing her feet.
Valeria smiled slyly, especially after what Jonathan said, humiliating himself in front of a woman.
Her stood up from her chair and glanced down at Jonathan, who was looking up at him.
Thinking he would be forgiven, Jonathan instead received a tremendous surprise from the cruelest mafia princess in Dormania.
THUD!
Valeria kicked him so hard in the head that he fell, his face injured and blood flowing from his temple.
"You think that by begging me, I will immediately forgive you? You have humiliated me, you have underestimated the Scarlett Mafia. You challenged me, and finally, you wasted 25 minutes of my time just to deal with you," asked Valeria with an intimidating face and a voice that belittled Jonathan, as if what he had done meant nothing to her.
She knelt in front of Jonathan, who was lying on the ground because his head hurt so badly after being kicked so hard. Her hand reached out to one of her men, and the man handed Valeria a gun.
"At first, I came here just to ask for the money your boss promised so that all this could be over quickly. There would have been no casualties if you hadn't fought us," she said, looking at the gun in her hand.
"I'm sorry... I really don't know where Andreas is, and I also don't know why he still hasn't paid off his debt to you," said Jonathan, moaning in pain and staring at the woman in front of him with a pleading look due to the pain he was feeling.
Using the tip of her gun, Valeria lifted Jonathan's chin so that he was looking at her. "I don't care whether you know or don't know the reason why your boss hasn't paid us back. We just want our money and to know where he is. But if he's hindering us..."
Jonathan was really scared that he would be killed right then and there. He begged to do anything as long as he wasn't killed on the spot. But Valeria, fed up with his words, ignored everything he said.
She took a moment to breathe, then stood up and looked at Jonathan. "Fine, if you really want us to let you go, we can do that."
Valeria let Jonathan escape, and within five seconds he was out of sight. Without further ado, the man immediately stood up and tried to escape, even though his head hurt and he ran a little unsteadily out of the warehouse.
Valeria's men were confused.
"Why did their boss let Jonathan escape?" they thought at that moment, bewildered.
"Five... Four... Three..."
However, he hadn't run very far because his head was hurting. The sound of gunshots rang out right behind him, piercing directly through his head and body.
BANG! BANG BANG!
With a sense of satisfaction, Valeria had fired the bullets at Jonathan, who hadn't had time to run very far.
"Who cares? He was too stupid to believe that I would just let him go," said Valeria, laughing contemptuously at Jonathan's lifeless body.
Her men felt horrified even though they had seen many terrible and cruel things done by their boss's daughter.
Valeria turned to them and said that they could go home, but they had to return to this warehouse in two days.
"We're going to have a 'party' here in two days. I want you to prepare it very well and don't disappoint me, understand?" she said to them.
"We understand, Miss Scarlett!" they replied in unison.
*****
As Valeria said, the party would be held in two days at the Dragon Mafia headquarters. It turned out that Andreas had returned there after he heard the news that Jonathan had been killed.
Of course, it was easy for them to be surrounded and dragged before Donn. They were ordered to pay with the threat of their families being held captive by the Scarlett Mafia.
"Please forgive me, release my family! I will pay off the rest of the debt as long as you release them!" Andreas pleaded at Donn's feet.
"Heh, forgive you? You used my men to destroy your rivals, then you laughed triumphantly. But you tried to escape, thinking we wouldn't be able to find you?" asked Donn, narrowing his eyes.
Andreas looked terrified when faced with the most feared boss in the country. Valeria, who was standing not far from him, grinned at the sight and then bent down near Andreas.
"This is what you get if you dare to fight Scarlett. Once you try to touch us, you will never be able to escape our claws until everything is over."
