The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 504 - The Mafia King Feels Grateful

The doctor was then promptly escorted outside by Minion 3, however he was 'politely' told to be available anytime in case Wei fell sick.

Chang Fang helped Wei lean his back on the bed. The minions under Chang Fang respectfully bowed and kneeled before him beside the bed.

Wei silently took a glance across them and then at the small apartment.

Chang Fang banged his forehead on the floor. "Apologies, Boss! I am sorry for bringing you to such a... rundown place. I-It's my secret *cough* gambling spot...Even that bastard Shen Yang doesn't know about it, so we are safe. I know it's not a suitable place for our great Boss to be at, but…"

Wei raised his palm. "I don't mind the apartment."

Chang Fang cried. "You are so generous, Boss!"

Wei pursed his lips. "Don't cry."

He bit his lip. "I-I am sorry, Boss. It's just that I feel so angry and helpless. We all really want to help you, but we were useless. We couldn't even fight and defeat that bastard Shen Yang's men! Those people! They lived in your grace for so long, and you all treated us so well, yet they betrayed us!"

Minion 4 sniffled. "I still remember the day how I crashed into you and tried to s-steal your wallet...When I came to know that you are the Mafia King, I thought I was a dead man, but instead of punishing me, you took me in. I will be forever grateful for your kindness! You have such a big heart that you didn't get angry!"

Wei asked, "Why would I be angry?"

"???"

"Be-because I tried to steal your money. People don't like their money getting stolen."

"But I have lots of money, so it didn't matter."

"..."

Everybody choked.

Was that humble bragging of the Mafia King's enormous wealth?

Minion 5 said, "You helped my little sister get a decent education and job. I thought having a thug brother would ruin her future, but you…" his eyes watered and he cried too. "I am in your debt, Boss. I will kill myself before even thinking of betraying you."

"Yes, Boss! You gave me a roof to live under and good meals to fill my stomach. I was just a lowlife living on the streets. I would have already killed myself if not for joining your Underworld and getting a reason to live."

"You gave an orphan like me such a big family!"

"We really love our Boss!"

"Yes, Boss is the best!"

Chang Fang declared. "No matter what happens, we will never yield to Jiang Zhen!"

Wei slowly widened his eyes and stared at them in a daze. He had never heard his subordinates express their admiration. He always thought that they respected him out of fear of his Mafia King's position.

But even at his lowest point right now, they refused to give up on him.

"I thought you were scared of me."

Chang Fang widened his eyes. "No, Boss. For us, you are our God. People fear demons, not Gods. You always cared for us and protected us. You even know our names. How many Bosses in this world bother to remember who their underlings are? This is enough for people like us who may have been destined to die a lonely, shameful and miserable death had we not met you."

Wei rapidly blinked his eyes.

He slowly touched his chest and felt something warm engulf his chest. He thought that only Lihua in this world could make him feel like that. But seeing his men's unshakeable loyalty and words for him made him feel the same happiness.

Wei's gaze dimmed and then out of the blue, he lowered his head in front of them.

They froze in shock.

"I am sorry I brought us to this state today. I couldn't protect the Underworld. I failed as the Mafia King. Because of my incompetence, you almost lost your lives and you have to live such a life now, hiding from everyone."

Lihua's words resounded in his mind.

'A simple heartfelt thank you is always enough.'

"Yet you are loyal to me. Thank you very much."

The gang stared among themselves with their jaws dropped. The ultimate Boss had his head lowered in front of them.

Wei clenched his fist. "Chang Fang. Thank you for saving me. I don't know what took over me. How could I even think of dying when Lihua and my child are in danger? They are waiting for me. I am sorry you had to see such an ugly side of mine. Thank you for bringing the doctor. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for making me realize what a stupid thing I was going to do."

They looked at him in a daze. They had never heard Wei talking so much before. He only used to say short sentences. But now, he spoke so many words at once that they found it hard to digest.

Suddenly, everybody burst into tears and cried hard. "Boss…"

"Why are you saying sorry? It's not your fault! Shen Yang was the snake! It wasn't your fault in trusting him."

"Yes! How could anybody have thought he would turn out to be the mole?"

"Please don't lower your head before us, Boss. It's our duty to serve you!"

Chang Fang cried. "Boss, we are with you! We will save Ludo Lady together!"

"Yes! We will save our Lady Boss with you!"

"We will kill that bastard Jiang Zhen and Shen Yang!"

"You will always be the Mafia King for us!"

"Boss is the best!"

Everybody loudly cheered and cried at the same time.

"Hey! Stop with the shouting! Didn't I say that if you screamed once more, you won't get any food!?"

They heard a furious woman's voice coming towards their room with her stomping her feet on the floor in anger.

Fuck! She is back!

She banged open the door and glared at the members of Shadow Eagle gang. In her right hand, she carried a grocery bag.

She shot a furious glare at all the members, and as it landed on Wei, she froze.

"Y-You…"

Even Wei was taken aback. "Meng Ya?"
