"Okay fine. But what about Inferno Cremisi? How will you deal with them?" Salvatore signed with defeat.
Rami is glad that Salvatore let it go. This made him at ease somewhat.
"I don't know yet." Rami shrugged.
After that, he continued eating the grapes that he was still holding.
Salvatore frowned, "What the hell. You're being reckless."
Rami suddenly grinned, "Haha. Worst comes to worst, I'll just pretend to be one of those victims they usually kidnap—it'll make infiltrating their base easier. After that… well, let's just say only God knows what'll happen next. Hehe."
Salvatore frowned even more, not liking what he heard.
This time, he gritted his teeth with anger.
'This best friend of mine is so reckless as always!! What the heck!!'
"Don't joke around all day!" Salvatore scolded as he lifted his hand, ready to smack Rami.
Rami immediately raised both hands in surrender. "Hahaha. Chill, brother! You know I'll be fine."
Salvatore sighed and lowered his raised hand.
He had already resigned himself to his fate, silently consoling himself for having a friend like Rami.
"You're full of nonsense all the time." Salvatore grunted.
Rami just laughs in his place.
"I will be fine really!!" Rami comforts Salvatore who drops his body in the single sofa that was facing his own sofa that he was sitting on.
He stands and squeezes his body to sit right beside Salvatore. Salvatore thanks the heavens that the single sofa that he was sitting on is spaceable enough to house both of them.
Rami hugged Salvatore acting cutely, "Look. I can manage myself and not put myself in danger, Salvy. Anyways, I can't die early since I still have something to do."
Salvatore's face worsens.
That moment, Rami knew, he said something bad again.
"If I am in danger, I will run away as fast as I can. I promise!!"
After a while of silence, Salvatore finally said something, "I'm going with you."
"No!!" Rami immediately retorted.
"No matter what you're going to say to persuade me. I'm not going to listen. I'm telling you, I'm going." Salvatore argued.
"No!!" Rami denied him. This time. Very determined.
"You can---"
"No!!" Rami cut Salvatore which he earned a smack on his right arm from Salvatore which he groaned with pain
"Yes!!"
"No!!"
"Yes!!"
"No!!"
"Yes!!"
"No!!"
"Yes!!"
"No!!"
After a while of arguing there, the two stared at each other. No one backed out.
No one noticed when a blond man with piercing hazel eyes and tall, handsome features entered the room. He looked to be around twenty-five or older.
"Rami, ho sentito che sei qui! Vieni da tuo fratello maggiore e abbracciami! (Rami, I heard you're here! Come to your big brother and give me a hug!)" the man exclaimed, ignoring the stares from everyone around him.
A big man with a formal suit acting so excited suddenly.
What a view.
"Grande fratello! (Big brother!)" Rami cried out as he ran toward him, leaping into the man's arms and hugging him tightly—completely abandoning Salvatore on the couch.
"Due anni e non hai avuto il tempo di venirci a trovare!! Come osi!! (Two years and you didn't have the time to visit us!! How dare you!!)" The man complained.
Gabriel Wyatt Andretti.
Salvatore's older brother—already twenty-seven years old—was the CEO of their Dragon Group of Companies, also known as 'Gruppo Dragon di Società'.
Their Gruppo Dragon di Società focused not only on creating technologies known throughout Italy but was also connected to other industries such as watches, perfumes, various fashion outlets—and, surprisingly, had made a name for itself in the entertainment industry as well.
A very influential one in Italy.
"Non ho avuto il tempo di venirti a trovare perché i miei fratelli mi hanno dato molte missioni da svolgere. Non importa cosa faccia, non posso semplicemente scappare. (I didn't have the time to visit you because my brothers gave me many missions to do. No matter what I do, I can't just escape.)" Rami complained.
"Hmm. Good for you. You just come to us when you need us." joined Salvatore annoyingly but anyone saw the small smile within his lips.
"No, not like that, Salvy. I really missed you and Big Brother—really!" Rami retorted coquettishly at Salvatore.
Rami suddenly remembered that Salvatore wanted to join him on his mission. He didn't want Salvatore risking his life just to accompany him. He knew he would be in danger facing Inferno Cremisi. What if Salvatore got wounded or found himself in a deadly situation during the operation? He could never take that risk.
Salvatore gave Rami a playful chop on the head, making him wince, while Gabriel watched nearby, laughing at the two's antics.
