Chapter 485
King of the Underworld
Sephir
As I walked to the door, I quickly updated the guys on my conversation. Ivan grinned as he got up and
went to Adrik’s bathroom to take his contacts out. I could feel the excitement from all of them. They
were looking forward to the shock they were about to deliver.
When I returned to the couch, Adrik stood up, pulling me with him to the bathroom. We walked in as
Ivan walked out. It took just a minute to take our contacts out and then we sat down with everyone
once again. Since Misha’s eyes had only changed once so far, he hadn’t gotten contacts yet.
Andrei quietly leaned over and exined what was happening to Viktor, in Russian, so Chris, who was
sitting close by, wouldn’t understand.
As Adrik pulled me back into hisp, he said, “it started with Sephie and her ability to know things she
shouldn’t necessarily know. Not just the conversations in Italian. She knew details about the other
bosses that most people would’ve missed. Over time, that ability grew. She started reading my mind
very early on in our rtionship, as well as all of the guys. It seemed like the stronger the connection
got with her, the more she was able to do. Then Misha’s ability to see the oue of a n morphed
into being able to see you under attack the night the Mexicans came for you. One by one, we’ve each
discovered a gift, if you will, that we have that nobody else does. It sounds somewhat crazy, but you’ve
seen the result of it several * times now.”

“It’s why I’m sitting here right now, Jefe,” Trino said.
“It is, but it’s much more than just that,” Adrik said. He squeezed me just a little tighter, ncing at Ivan.
“Martin and Ricardo have both made deals to get further ahead in this lifetime.”
“What kind of deal?” Trino asked.
“Deals that have eternal consequences,” I said. I knew my eyes had switched to ck without needing
to see anyone else’s. I saw the surprise on Trino’s face, followed quickly by the sheer terror as he
looked at Adrik and Ivari’s ck eves. I nced over at Misha. His eyes now changed with ours as
well.
“Misha, you’re going to need contacts now, too. Yours are already changing with ours,”I told him.
“No deal! I’m not wearing contacts,” he said. I could hear himughing my head. How he managed to
keep a straight face, I’ll never know.
Trino took a deep breath, trying to gainposure. “I knew Miha’s eyes changed, but I had no idea the
rest of you could do it. I also don’t know what it means. I just know that I kinda wanna run when I see
it.”
“I feel like running is a good life choice,” Gus said, his eyes still the size of dinner tes.
“Martin and Ricardo have both made deals with very powerful demons. We are what can stop them,”
Adrik said.
I grinned, telling Trino, “brace yourself for what I’m about to say next, Trino, because you’re not ready
for it. He is the true King of the Underworld now,” I said. I could see Trino’s color drain from his face,
which confirmed that my eyes had turned red again.
Stephen nced at me, then looked back at Trino. “That’s not even the scariest color, Trino, She’s got
others that are much more disturbing.” The way he said it made it seem like my eyes changing colors
was the most normal thing in the world. Normal really is rtive
All Trino could do was curse under his breath for a few moments. Finally, beposed himself enough
to simply ask, “how?”
We spent the next hour or so exining everything to Trino. We didn’t leave much out. He now knew
about Armando. He knew of the end game for Martin and Ricardo, as well as the other bosses. We told
him everything
To our surprise, once he got over his initial shock, he became quite curious about how it all worked. I
ended up showing him what Andrei could see, as well as what Ivan could see. We showed him what it
looked like when Viktor used Kostya to fix someone as well, telling him that they all needed Kostya and
Viktor’s help. We even gave him a glimpse at what Armando looked like after Stephen broke him, just
because he asked.
“Jefe, I remember telling you that Sephie was always meant to meet you when I first met her. I had no
idea how urate that was,” Trino said,
scratching his head. “I wish my abu was here. She would be so excited right now.”
“What’s an abu “Misha asked.
“Babushka,” I told him.
“Sweet, I’m trilingual now.”he responded.
“It’s a lot to take in, Trino. It’s been a lot for us to take in, even. It hasn’t abrays been easy, but we’ve
had help along the way. The demons that Martin and Ricardo made deals with are very old and very
powerful. They could wreak a tremendous amount of have if they’re allowed to remain for much longer.
It might seem like Martin is fighting a losing battle right now, but I wouldn’t put it past him to start
recruiting other demons to hit cause to strengthen his numbers. Same for Ricardo. We haven’t gotten
word yet that any of the other bosses have made deals, but that’s not to say it hasn’t already happened
or won’t happen in the future. We’ve been told that you’re a key figure in this. You know I reward those
who stay loyal to me. That will never change,” Adnik said.
Trino exhaled loudly. “After knowing this, I would be a foot to not remain loyal, And not just because I’m
scared of your girlfriend, fefe –
I held my hand up, showing him my ring as I cleared my throat. “Future wife, thank you very much.”
He cursed as he jumped up toe for a closer look. “Dios mio, Miha. Does your arm get tired
carrying that around?”
“We’ve increased the weight training topensate,” Andrei said, very seriously.
Trinoughed. “It’s perfect. Congrattions.” He leaned in closer, saying quietly in Italian, “I might need
the number for that jeweler sooner rather thanter.” He winked at me as he went to sit back down
beside Emilia.
Ivan looked at Chris and Keith, who were still sitting in mostly stunned silence. “What about you two?
Still in or you’d still like to run right about now? I’ll open the door for you if it’s thetter,” he said.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would think you’re all full of shi t. I knew there was something
different about Sephie when I saw her go against Mike. No offense, Sephie, you’re incredibly talented
and fast, but you’re still a girl. It never madeplete sense in my head that you dominated him so
easily,” Keith said. “Now it does.”
“Except that really was all Sephie. Her demon only started stepping forward well after that happened.
She really is that good,” Ivan said.
“Okay, right back to not making sense,” Keith said.
“She could still do the same to you both. She would just break a sweat now because you’re catching up
in your training,” Andrei said, slightly miffed.
“I love you both, but you’re not helping them feel any morefortable right now, I told both Ivan and
Andrei, trying not tough at how whi te both Chris and Keith had gone.
“Sh it. My bad. I got confused. I forgot we were trying to make them feel better,” Ivan said, cutting his
eyes at me.
“I still love you. It is slightly irritating they would think I’d need help with that hot mess,”
“While I do find it somewhat offensive you would think she’d need help to beat someone as clearly
inept as Mike was, it’s not what matters at the moment. What matters is that you can handle knowing
this is going on and you still want to be a part of it,” Adrik said, making meugh quietly.
“What exactly is the n? Are theying here? Are we going there?” Chris asked. He nced
around the room, adding, “I’m only asking because I need to make arrangements for my mo m if I’m
going to be gone for an extended period of time. If I’m moving somewhere, then shees with me.”
“Your mother will be taken care of. Whatever she needs. Don’t worry,” Trino said. “But he does bring up
a valid question. Do you have a n?”
