CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 36: NOW, I’M GOING PUBLIC WITH THE AFFAIR (PART 2)

What we want is not majesty, not authority, because that represents fear.

What we care more about is friendship, warmth, and bonds.

A song, a memory, a friendship.

This is something all gang members can feel.

They are full of respect for me.

"Kenny!"

"Kenny!"

My name echoed inside the church again and again.

All the gang members stood by, surrounding me, at this moment, I was their king!

I was their hero, their brother, their guide!

Seeing everyone’s recognition of me, Johnny’s face turned ugly, this was what he least wanted to see.

Sofia was full of surprise.

I moved everyone with a song, solidifying my position.

"He was born to lead!" Sofia said softly, full of anticipation, her smile growing wider and her body trembling with excitement.

I raised my hand.

The scene quieted down.

Everyone was waiting for me to speak.

"Shara."

"Kenny!" Shara couldn’t help but cry.

"Eddy was my best friend, my brother. I know I didn’t do enough, and I’m very sorry."

"No, you did great, you were Eddy’s best brother. Thank you, Kenny, thank you, I will repay your 30,000 US dollars."

30,000 US dollars?

Everyone looked at me.

Johnny’s face showed anger.

Because Eddy died for the gang and did nothing.

But I helped Eddy’s family.

I’m not the gang leader, but I did what I should have done.

Johnny is the leader, yet he kept silent.

If you’re a gang member, who would you follow?

Cold Johnny or hero Kenny.

It’s a simple choice, many people already have an answer in their hearts.

"He’s a genius!" Sofia marveled, she thought I would do something, but didn’t expect I’d do it this way.

Impulse is a devil, but this devil is very smart.

He used his advantage, used music to express his remembrance of Eddy, showing his gentleness and sense of responsibility to everyone.

That is what a leader is like.

Has a charm that makes people willing to follow.

Johnny? Everyone sees his behavior, compared to Kenny he’s too indifferent.

I used a song to ignite everyone’s dissatisfaction and feelings inside.

"No need to repay me, Eddy was my crew member, my brother, I failed to protect him, it’s my responsibility. You need the money more; it’s the only thing I can do now, sorry, Shara."

"No, Kenny, thank you! Eddy knows in heaven, thank you!"

"Kenny."

"Kenny!"

The surrounding gang members bowed to me at this moment; I gained their recognition, trust, affirmation, and admiration.

I’m a qualified leader, a qualified boss, a qualified friend.

Damned bastard. Johnny cursed inside.

"Boss, am I right?" This is my purpose!

I’m asking Johnny, but saying, what should you do?

As a boss, have I done enough, as the BOSS, have you not even matched up to me?

Fack!

Johnny laughed and walked to my side, putting his arm around my shoulders, "You are right, Kenny, you said what I wanted to say, Shara, I will help you, Eddy was my brother too, here’s a check for seventy thousand US dollars, take it, take good care of the children."

"I can’t!" Shara shook her head.

I took the check and handed it to Shara, "Take it, you deserve it."

"Thank you!"

The funeral began. Eddy’s coffin was buried in the ground.

Parting with Shara, Amir and I also left the cemetery.

Outside the cemetery, Sofia leaned against a Mercedes, talking to me, "Well done."

I took out a cigarette and lit it, "Didn’t you want to stop me?"

"I didn’t expect you to be so smart, solving problems doesn’t necessarily need force, you’re a genius."

The lady boss looked at me satisfied. "Johnny knows you can’t fight him, but he didn’t expect you to undermine his status with a song."

"I said I wouldn’t let anyone hurt my family."

"You did it, Johnny had to fork out the money, if he didn’t, he’d become a failed leader, you made him make the choice himself. But, your actions have also made him more vigilant."

"SO what?"

"A song can only drive emotions, it can’t make you a true leader. What you need is strength."

"I will remember your advice."

Sofia smiled with satisfaction, "What if Johnny is unhappy with you?"

"Do I need to care?"

"And if he wants to deal with you?"

"If he wants war, I’ll give him war. He can’t do such a thing to Shara, I can’t forgive it, it’s a desecration to my brother Eddy."

Sofia’s smile froze. He wants war, and I’ll give him war?

"I’m looking forward to your performance. Kenny, start working tonight, my manager!"

"Buddy, I’ll support you." Amir pounded my chest, "I’ve realized you’ve become more handsome. Damn, you shine like a star now."

"Really?" I smiled lightly, checking on top of Sofia’s head.

[Kenny has really become more handsome. His smile, like a bad boy, his previous gloomy expression, magnetic singing voice, and piano playing, make him look like a prince, damn, I find him more and more fascinating.]

"Hey Kenny, want to come over for dinner?"

Johnny walked out of the cemetery with his wife, "You rarely come over, come on kid, now you’re the guy I trust the most."

Haha, the most trusted? Or the most feared?

I shook my head and declined, "I have to work at the club tonight."

"Come on, Amy and I will be cooking, I haven’t cooked in a long time, what’s wrong? You don’t like my invitation?"

"It’s not that." Although I’m not afraid of Johnny, I understand that I can’t fight him now.

"Then come on."

"Honey, Sofia is your partner, aren’t we inviting her? Oh my god, Sofia you’re so beautiful, and Kenny is so handsome, you look great together." Johnny’s wife exclaimed.

The boss Johnny was very angry inside because everyone in the gang knows that Sofia is his mistress.

I’m very happy, Johnny’s suffering makes me happy.

"Is that so? I think so too." Sofia clung to my arm.

Damn woman.

Johnny is dissatisfied with me now, probably wanting to kill me.

Women really can affect my work.

"Wow, you two really match, are you dating?" Johnny’s wife Amy wanted to know more, for her, having a beautiful partner concerned her with her husband.

If Sofia likes me, then she wouldn’t worry.

"Not dating, he might be a little shy about dating his boss." Sofia said openly.

Johnny stared at me coldly.

Fack!

What does that mean? Confessing to me?

I really want to curse that woman, why drag me into the mire?

The situation with Sofia and Johnny is special, Sofia is more dominant, in the eyes of gang members, Sofia is Johnny’s mistress, but this woman never tries to please Johnny.

Nor gives him any gentleness, treating the boss like subordinates.

Actually, Sofia doesn’t accompany Johnny either, unless she is in a good mood, or to control the gang, she gives Johnny a bit of sweetness, but normally, she always holds herself high.

Johnny understands too, he needs Sofia, but this woman doesn’t need him, Sofia has many choices for thugs and shields, many gang leaders in Miami are willing to be her partners.

Seeing Sofia taking the initiative to hold my arm, showing a close attitude.

Johnny looked like he had eaten shit.

"Wow, Sofia, do you like Kenny?"

"I think he’s good, wasn’t his singing charming just now?" Sofia’s cold model face showed a charming smile.

"Yes, very charming, Kenny, you should make a move." Amy advised me from the side.

Johnny clenched his fists, at this moment he wanted to kill. His wife wants his subordinate to pursue his mistress, and Johnny can’t say NO.

"Come on Kenny, come to my house for dinner with Sofia. We’ve prepared a lot of food. You’ll like it."

"Alright, sorry for the disturbance." I accepted the invitation.

"Great." Amy patted my shoulder, deliberately looking at Sofia, "Good luck, kid."

Haha! I’m very happy, Amy is matchmaking me with Sofia. Johnny must be upset about it.

"Good luck!" Amy encouraged me again, watching Sofia intently.

Johnny clenched his fists, he wanted to kill someone now. His wife actually wants his subordinate to pursue his mistress, and Johnny can’t show his displeasure.

I almost couldn’t help laughing. Johnny is encouraging me. He doesn’t want to show dissatisfaction to make his wife suspicious.

I was about to burst out laughing.
