Pete was requested in Khun Korn's office. He slept a lot on his off days, and Khun Tankhun still sulking with him. Pete was planning to buy him ice cream this morning, but he need to meet his boss first.

'Must be another mission'. Pete thought.

He knocked on the office door twice and when Khun Korn gave permission, he entered the office.

"Pete, have a seat". Khun Korn ordered.

Pete bowed down and take a seat.

"Pete, i have a mission for you". He started.

"What is it, Khun Korn?". Pete asked.

"Soon, there's gonna be a huge real estate press conference in Bangkok, and i need you to sabotage Vegas's work". Khun Korn implied.

'Shit! I don't want to involve with him anymore'. Pete thought.

Honestly, Pete didn't know much about Vegas. But, he do know that, Vegas is one of the ruthless man in the mafia world. But, he can't help but sometimes wonder why the heck Khun Korn is so eager to bring Vegas down. 'Can't they just support each other! Damn it!'. Pete cursed inside.

"How do i do that, sir?". Pete asked blindly.

"Here". Khun Korn slided a USB Drive to Pete.

"All you have to do, is change his drive to this one. And its up to you on how you plan to do that. But, you need to report it to me about the whole conference. On how is it going. Is it clear?". Khun Korn explained.

Pete reached the USB stick and shoved it into his pocket.

"I understand, sir". Pete said then proceed to leave the room.

As soon as he got outside, he started cursing constantly. He honestly tired with all of this. Ever since he replace Chan's position, he had killed a lot of politician and businessman as per Khun Korn's order. It was sucks, of course. He is a damn bodyguard, not some paid hitman. On top of that, he already has a lot of things he need to manage on his hands. He rarely have time for himself these days.

But, now he stopped at a supermarket to buy Tankhun's favourite ice cream. All of a sudden, his phone rang once. He checked it out and saw Khun Korn sent him the detail about the conference. Pete just replied yes and continue looking for the ice cream.

On the way home, he keep thinking about how to replace the USB, the thing is Vegas has tighten his security ever since the war occured. And God knows, Vegas is not stupid. Pete needs a detail plan to exchange the drive, and the fact that he need to think about it himself made his head hurts. He might be good in killing people, but genius is not his thing.

"Khun Noo!!! Look, i brought you ice cream!!! I'm sorry for the other day. Don't sulk anymore naaa!". Pete yelled happily.

Tankhun pretend to sulk for a mere seconds but ran to hug Pete eventually.

"Ayy Pete, i miss you so much. You don't even have time to watch series with me anymore". Tankhun pouted.

"Awww, i'm sorry, Khun Noo. I have so many work to do these days". Pete pouted back.

And just like that, they spent the whole day together. From watching series to playing UNO cards and they also went to the spa together. After Tankhun fell asleep, Pete put the blanket all over him and left the room. He loves this young master the most.

He then stopped by the technical room to meet Arm.

"Hey, Arm!". Pete greeted him happily.

"Pete, how are you?". Arm greeted back.

"I'm good. Listen, i need your help on something". Pete implied while taking a seat besides Arm.

"Khun Korn asked me to swap a flashdrive with Khun Vegas's own to sabotage him at the conference later. Do you have any idea on how to do it?". Pete said.

"Urmmm, i think you need to do it a few minutes before he do the presentation. I'm sure he check everything beforehand, and its impossible to swap it early". Arm replied.

"Really? I'm kinda scared. I have a feeling that i will fail this time, and you know what Khun Korn will do to a failure. I just don't want to die yet". Pete pouted.

"Awww Pete, everything gonna be just fine. I'll look what i can do, okay?". Arm said while shrugged Pete's shoulder.

Pete just sighed and nodded repeatedly.

The press conference will take place on 8:00pm today, and the venue is a luxury hotel located in the middle of Bangkok. Pete was ready for his mission. Khun Korn gave him a press pass to enter the hotel without any problems.

The only problem is Pete was not confident today. He has a gut telling him something bad will happen. He's been anxious since this morning. But, he just shoved off the thought and focus instead.

Pete drove his own car, its a brand new Audi R8 that he bought last month using his bonus, and arrived at the venue at 7:30pm. Pete had everything planned.

He even wore an earpiece today to contact Arm in case anything happen later.

"Pete, its all okay. Just breathe and use your skills to the fullest. You got this, man!" Arm said in the earpiece made Pete chuckled. Pete turned off the earpiece temporarily to work on his mission smoothly.

Pete headed to the hall for the press conference. He sat a little farther in the back not to draw any unnecessary attention.

After 20 minutes, he saw Vegas entered the hall taking out a flashdrive and gave it to the technician.

The thing is, he keep talking to the technician for quite a long time made Pete need to adjust his plan a little.

'Damn, this bastard! Always so sharp!". Pete thought to himself.

A few minutes before the event started, Pete walked to the technical room as discreet as possible. Just like luck turned to his side, the technician left the room talking to his friend, and Pete used that to his advantage.

He entered the room, and find the flashdrive attached to the desktop. Its the same drive he saw just now.

He quickly unattached it, and put in the given flashdrive instead. Just when he about to get out,

"Pete...Pete..you must think i'm stupid, huh?". Someone in his back said while laughing with sarcastic kinda tone.

Pete's step was froze instantly because he knew whose voice is that.

'Shit! Its Vegas". He thought.

Pete was still standing in front of the door with his back against Vegas.

Vegas stepped closer and twisted Pete's right hand that holding the flashdrive resulted the drive fell from Pete's grip.

"That's not the real drive, Pete. This is". Vegas said while took out the original flashdrive from his pocket. Its like he already knew Pete's plan. 

"I'm sorry you went through all this trouble...JUST TO FAIL". Vegas laughed again.

Pete just stared at him intensely and their face was just a few inch from each other. Some people might say its a sexual tension, but only hatred can be seen from both of their eyes.

"Take him!". Vegas ordered his men.

Within a moment, Nop and a few other bodyguards were straddling Pete to the ground and dragged him outside.

Pete was dragged to the rooftop of the hotel. He is quite strong himself too, but there's over 7 people pinned him down right now.

Vegas's men stomped on Pete repeatedly until Pete became a little bit weak. Then, two of them held both of Pete legs and hold him upside down over the edge of the bulding. Pete was hanging on the air 150 metre from the ground.

And if one thing that Pete is afraid of, it is height. He had trauma when it comes to height.

When half of his body hanging into the air, and when the night wind sweeping his hair away, Pete was a little suffocated. He felt like throwing up.

Upon seeing Pete reaction, the bodyguards pulled him up again and throw him on the floor. He instantly puked out on the rooftop floor.

Nop and the others punched him a little more before leaving a limp Pete alone. Pete just holding his chest in case of hyperventilation. He was suffocating.

When he was young, his abusive father always use the same method to abuse him. His feet was tied upside down and his father will shoved Pete's head deep inside the water tank in their house. The abuse kept going on until Pete finished high school, but the action left Pete with Post Trauma Severe Disorder. Pete always scared with height.

Meanwhile, Vegas's presentation about his new real estate project went smoothly. Many investors signed with him and praised his talking and convincing skills. He was success that night. Everyone was a witness to his succession that day.

"Khun Vegas, its a good presentation. I don't know why people always praised Khun Kinn, but i personally thought you're even more better than him. In a lot of aspects". Khun Cleo, the richest businessman speaks to Vegas.

"Thank you, Khun Cleo. And also thank you for invest the most tonight. I will not let you down". Vegas remarked with a smile. 

When the clock showed 11:30pm, Vegas was ready to go home.

"How is it going, Nop?". He asked his right hand man, Nop.

"We beat him up and left him bruises badly on the rooftop. We didn't kill him as per your order". Nop said.

Vegas just smirked hearing that and laid his head back in the car.

****

Pete still breathing abnormally alone in the rooftop. He inhaled and exhaled slowly as per his therapist used to taught him back then.

After a while, Pete was surprised by the sound of his cellphone ringing. And the moment he saw the name on the screen, he knew he fucked up. It was Khun Korn.

Pete picked up the call after a few tones. And when Pete about to greet him,

"GET..HOME..NOW!". Khun Korn said.

Pete immediately stood up with his remaining energy and walked downstairs limping. He looks at his watch and it was 12:03 in the morning. He prayed to God to make his death a little easier.
