The meeting ended and all left except for the Deputy and two of his soldiers behind him.
"The Golden Fangs are to return to court. You all will be dismissed till the next call."
The soldiers didn't move but waited for him to exit first. He stood up and walked outside the meeting room followed by his soldiers before turning to their own separate direction.
"The jet to Italy is currently on standby sir."
Alfonso said, waiting beside the car.
"Let's go."
The two drove to the airport and boarded the private jet. As he stared outside the window, he wondered.
It's been 21 years... Now that I've reached where I am, it's time.
2 hours later, they arrived at Italy's main airport and drove a Rolls Royce to Villa Tenebris in Amalfi coast. Perched on a remote cliffside with panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian sea. Hidden behind thick Mediterranean pine forests only accessible by a private road or helicopter.
The two entered the main gate, to a winding cobblestone path lined with ancient olive trees, leading to a circular driveway with a marble fountain on the middle.
"Congratulations on your safe return, young master Angel."
Gabriel River, the family's 1st Capo. A middle-aged man who once worked as a hitman but now as the family's main guard.
"Mhm, where's father. I wish to speak with him."
"He is currently in his quarters, resting."
"I see. Alfonso, ready what I asked for. I'll go speak to father for a second."
Angel walked up the stairs of the modern designed mansion, towards a room with a big door where an old man is sitting on his bed as he stares at the beach's sunset.
"Father, I've returned."
Angel got down on his knees and lowered his head as he spoke.
"The sunset is beautiful isn't it."
"It is as it has always been father."
Raffaele Serafini, my adoptive father who took me in when he was in the Philippines. A man who only wanted to experience a companion before he passes away.
"You sound as if you are in a rush, enjoy this sunset with me even if just for a moment."
He had no ties in the underworld but was pulled in due to my actions. Yet, he continued to support me like an actual father.
"Father, please conserve your strength."
"I'm still strong you know. My business is still prominent and you've grown so much that I almost couldn't recognize you."
"I don't plan on stopping you. I know your intentions, I just want to say, please stay safe. The world is already a dangerous place as it is."
"Yes, I will father."
"The sunset is beautiful today."
Angel walked outside and closed the door.
He went down to his office and sat on his table. He opened the drawer and looked at a picture, a picture of him and his former family.

Flashback in one of the Philippine's catholic orphanage
"Brother, please don't leave me alone..."
The voice of young female child with tears.
"Rica, I'm sorry. I'll come find you okay, so follow them."
Angel said as both parents started to pull her away in tears.
"I'll definitely come find you."
-----
"21 years have passed and this brother of yours still hasn't tried find you, what a ridiculous bastard am I."
Two knocks on the door came on the door.
"Sir, the reservation seats to Philippine's Manila Airlines are ready."
Alfonso said behind the door.
"I see. Thank you, I'll be heading out shortly."
"Understood."
Angel looked at the picture once more.
"I'll find that conglomerate and satiate my long awaited revenge."
He stood up and took his coat before exiting the office.
"Alfonso, let's go."
"Yes."
"Please stay safe young master."
As the clock completely hit midnight, the two drove to the airport and boarded the plane in first class seats.
"Would you like some wine sir for the night?"
The plane attendant asked.
"Yes, thank you."
He looked at his phone as he enjoyed his midnight wine.
[The Zenith Biotech Corporation has launched it's official next project: Zenith Tower Complex. A multi-purpose megastructure funded and to be built by Zenith Biotech Corporation.]
"So they have come far."
He sips the wine.
"I'll bring down that tower of yours brick by brick."
A few hours passed and they landed onto Manila's Airlines, where he boarded a taxi to one of Taguig city's best condominiums.
"Everything has been ready furnished to the young master's preference."
Alfonso stated.
"I like the modern style and the bamboos too."
"I'll excuse myself, please take your rest sir."
Alfonso left Angel at the condominium's top suite.
"I'm back..."
He looked outside the window and reminisced some memories. He walked to the kitchen and prepared a cup of coffee and bread. He watched the people walk to the mall in front of the condominium building.
Then a sudden phone call rang.
"Answer."
"We've found her sir."
Angel's eyes widened in silent joy almost causing a tear but held himself back.
"Tell me the situation."
"The target individual is currently is in her fourth highschool year. Family seems to be ordinary though currently facing financial problems due to the father's sickness and inability to work."
"Send me the information via mail."
"Understood."
He put down the phone and continued to stare outside.
"The Jaguars sure are reliable. I hope the court doesn't see this as misuse of power."
After a short nap to regain his energy, he went down the elevator and entered the mall.
"It's still the same as before."
The people stared at him, mistaking him for an idol visiting the Philippines.
"I guess I should've wore a mask and a cap first."
He walked to the clothes section of the department store and looked for casual clothes he could wear due to the sun's heat.
After checking out, he ate a meal at MGC's elite restaurants only people who have a ton of money would eat.
"Bon Appetit"
He continued to enjoy himself until a familiar presence passed by that caught his attention.
