Ava came downstairs dressed in a tank top and bum shorts, her navel ring displaying as she walked downstairs. She got to the dining room and met Vincenzo already seated, he had to take his gaze away from her navel ring. Was his little wife seducing him?
" Do you go around dressing this way?" He asked before he could stop himself and Ava whose eyes were on her phone, raised it and looked at Vincenzo, " huh?" She asked but he didn't talk again till the dinner was served.
It was just the both of them at the big dining table and only the sounds of cutlery were heard as they were both lost in their different worlds. Ava's phone began to ring and when she saw that it was Gregory, she ignored the call and continue eating not until his calls were getting too much only then did she pick up.
" You're not in your house Ava. Where the hell are you? Don't tell me you went to the house of the man who gave you a ride from school?" He shouted and Ava immediately got angry.
" Are you stalking me now bastard? How dare you go to my house because of some stupid obsession? Huh?" She shouted so loud that this time Gregory had to keep quiet.
" I can never like you, Gregory. Get over this stupid obsession because you would regret it later. I am giving you a warning get over it..." She shouted and hung up. She was breathing so heavily after the call that she stood up from the dining chair. " I lost my appetite" she muttered and went to her room.
" Who the hell is that bastard?" Vincenzo muttered and was disrupted by a call from Antonio. " There's an exchange tonight. Boss wants us to go get it" Antonio said and Vincenzo hung up.
He left the dining room and walked to the sinful hall for the meeting before the exchange. On getting there, everyone bow their head except Giovanni and Alessandro as usual but he didn't mind at all.
Soon, Don Federico entered the hall and everyone bow for him and they began the meeting for the exchange. " We are making an exchange for weapons and if they try anything funny, then clear them off and bring the weapons here. Understood?" Don Federico asked and they all chorused at once, " yes".
Vincenzo went for the exchange with Romeo, Alessandro and Giovanni. He has this hunch that the bloody hunters, with whom they want to make an exchange would try to outsmart them.
" Get prepared. Those bloody hunters want our money without giving us the weapons so get ready to kill them if they try anything funny" he said and the three of them nodded. Once it comes to a mission, everyone obeys Vincenzo even Don Federico himself. He is the devil himself and no one messes with the devil and goes scot-free, not in this life or the next.
As his hunch said, the bloody hunters tried to outsmart them by giving them fake weapons but Vincenzo was way too clever to be deceived. He signaled the three of them to deal with the bloody hunters while he look for the real weapons. He saw the weapons under one of the cars they brought and he smirked. " You can't deceive a Venomous snake" he muttered and took the weapons to the car and joined the others in killing the bloody hunters which they found too weak for them.
" Let him go" Vincenzo pointed at one of the men who was already half dead because of the numerous punches he received from Giovanni.
" What!! Why should we let him go?" Giovanni gritted his teeth in anger.
" Because I said so," Vincenzo said glaring at Giovanni who walked fast to him and locked his shirt. " The fact that I do whatever you asked me to do doesn't make me a fool, I know my right and can do whatever I want with him" Giovanni snapped and Vincenzo smirked. " Why weren't you given the mission to take care of if you were really capable? Just let me go right now" Vincenzo muttered but Giovanni wasn't letting go of his shirt any time soon and Vincenzo was running out of patience.
" Let me go bastard" Vincenzo shouted and punched Giovanni on his cheeks making him fly across to the nearest car. He groaned and stood up before rushing towards Vincenzo. He was about punching Vincenzo but he was way too smart and ducked the punch.
Romeo tried separating them but Alessandro held him back. " Let them be," he said and Romeo nodded looking worried. If Don Federico finds out about the obvious fight he would, they will all be in big trouble.
In a few minutes, Vincenzo was on top of Giovanni punching the hell out of him till he almost passed out, only then did Romeo release himself from Alessandro's hold to help Giovanni up. " I warned you not to mess with me weakling" Vincenzo muttered with blood on his lips. He walked to the car and drove off, while Giovanni, Alessandro, and Romeo entered the second car and drove off too.
VENOMOUS ALLIANCE CLAN
Don Federico already heard about the fight between Giovanni and Vincenzo so he ordered for the both of them to be taken to the torture room.
The torture room is a dark room where the people captured by the Venomous Alliance clan are tortured to confess. One thing Don Federico hates is, fighting among the clan members and that was what Vincenzo and Giovanni did so he ordered for them to be whipped with a strong metallic chain till they almost pass out.
As they were tortured, Giovanni was groaning and gritting his teeth with each stroke that landed on his bare back, while Vincenzo didn't make a sound, he had a blank look on and was not feeling the pain. Giovanni turned to his right and glared at Vincenzo with hatred burning in his eyes.
They were whipped hundred strokes before Don Federico ordered the guards to stop. By then, Giovanni was already seeing the gate of Hades in front of him while Vincenzo maintained his blank look as he walked out of the torture room going to his mansion, blood dripping from his back as he walked and his lips were pale because of the whipping. His skin peeled off during the whipping and everyone on the training ground stared at him in pity. 
Havana ran behind him when she heard he has been released out of the torture room, " how are you feeling now?" She asked as she touched his arm but he pushed her off glaring dangerously at her.
" Don't you ever touch me" he growled in anger and walked into the mansion. As he climbed the stairs, his eyes became blurry that he could barely see anything but continued walking till he got to a door, opened it, and fell inside without knowing if he was in his room or someone else's room.
Ava who was just coming from the bathroom, halted on her steps and almost shouted when she saw him covered in blood.
" Holy Molly....." She muttered.
