He wanted to enjoy all the scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was walking around, his eyes couldn’t help but be dragged to a dark street corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories of his past life couldn’t help but appear at this moment in his mind as he saw a malnourished child sitting there with hollow eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there looking at the child trying to find anything possible to eat with a complex expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were few things in his past life that made him emotional. And one of them was whenever he found a starving person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alessio understood hunger and found it one of the harshest realities of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While thousands of children starved, the wealthy and the government never did anything to change that reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even this Earth Federation is trash.... Holding so much power and having so many ways to make a change, they refuse to even acknowledge them as part of the federation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was having such thoughts, he moved towards the kid and stopped him from trying to eat a rotten rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Damian addressed the child, the first instinct of the child was to hide his rat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sigh...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the wary eyes of the child, Damian couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look like I would try stealing your... food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the child show some hesitation and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... I don’t remember.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then let’s call you... Alessio from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Alessio, can you tell me if there is an orphanage in this city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... There is one right across the street. But they don’t let beggars inside. Only the ones assigned to them by the Federation are allowed to stay there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... let’s get you something to eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about eating made the kid’s eyes go wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have money...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do, let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding on to the hand of the kid, Damian started finding a good restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was searching for the restaurant, he didn’t notice the kid wiping his tears and looking at him with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to memorize the appearance of the one who fed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they entered a good looking restaurant and found a seat for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many customers around them started feeling uncomfortable and moved their seats away looking at the beggar child dressed in ragged clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby waiters noticed this scene and called for their manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian noticed all this but didn’t say anything until a fat man dressed in luxury clothes came closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me sir, as you can see, the appearance of the beggar with you is bothering all other customers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright, do you have any private rooms?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... I’m sorry sir, but the private rooms are only available for VIPs. We can’t just let anyone inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the face the manager was making, Damian realised that being polite was not a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even offered to take a private room, but clearly the staff here was unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It is always like this... these restaurants care too much about their so-called images.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could you pl-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian interrupted the manager before he could ask them to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... It’s Roman Wells sir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now Mr. Roman, there are two paths for you here. Either you take me to a private room and let us have our fill of the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or I can leave the restaurant and you can carry on with your lives until you start hearing about the disappearances of each and every one of your family members one at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You will go to the police and SFD as well if you want. But no one will be able to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months will go by and you will develop a habit of drinking and start losing your sanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fine restaurant will fire you and you will be left on the streets with no chance to eat such delicious food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You will start losing your fat and become a thin malnourished man and curse the Gods wondering why your life turned into such a hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And eventually you will starve to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Damian was talking casually, a reddish black Aura was surrounding his body making him look very intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Alessio sitting next to Damian started feeling uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can choose the second option but I think a man as smart as you, my dear Roman, would not be so stupid.... Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat poured down the face of Roman as the threat alongside the pressure from that Aura made him fearful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Roman was also an E Rank awakener. He was not a fighter and was just a common man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m not paid enough for this shit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-Ofcourse not sir. Please, come with me. I happen to know a very good private room which just happens to be empty at the moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuckling nervously, the manager guided them to a Private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the food was served and Alessio looked towards Damian as if asking permission to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian nodded gently and started eating as well. He had not eaten since waking up today as he was already late for the Orientation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire table of food disappeared in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian called a waiter to get a bottle of rum for himself at the end and some desserts for the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Alessio eat happily made Damian feel some warmth and his mood lightened a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to drink some alcohol in order to calm himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matters like these always made him emotional. And with his current strength, losing control might have some consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the entire bottle, Damian stood up and went to find Roman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s the payment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s on the house sir. No need. I hope you come here again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a man of my principle, Mr. Roman. We ate your restaurant’s food so please accept the payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from now on, don’t let what happened previously repeat itself again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the manager nodding hurriedly, Damian left the restaurant with Alessio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was already about to set as they walked back towards that alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Alessio was already feeling a bit sad. Knowing this was probably the only time he would ever have such great food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be so sad... I’m taking you to a nice place. You will live there from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian didn’t reply and held the hand of the child as he led him back to Old man Mike’s shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after some time, did he finally whisper in a small voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alessio was already having a hard time trying to control his tears, but as soon as he heard that soft whisper, he couldn’t control himself and started sobbing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, they reached the clothing store. And for the first time Damian took notice of the name of the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Woven Wardrobe... nice name.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they entered the shop, old man Mike was already about to close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Now what do we have here young sir Damian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has to be said. The intuition of this old man was scary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only a look at Alessio. He already knew Damian was about to make a troublesome request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hire this little kid and teach him your works. You are also becoming old and might need some help across the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before you refuse me, I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on every suit and every piece of clothing I wear will come from this shop. I will also recommend all my fellow students at the academy to come find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... You think this is enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alongside this, I will owe you a favor. You can ask for anything which is in my capability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... alright. What’s his name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I named him Alessio. He didn’t have one before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I’m getting late. I will see you both later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for both of them to say anything, Damian left the shop with his previously bought clothes and started his bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how to read and write, kid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the old man and the beggar stared at each other uncomfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... let’s start with the basics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1415,"2026-05-29T04:31:49.092Z","2026-06-01T04:29:09.863Z",1,"novelbin.me","d14908281f492ff90ad00bc1f6a1bf4e6b5ad0ab2cb9be896a779892a32592bd","as-a-mafia-boss-i-refuse-to-be-an-extra-chapter-22","as-a-mafia-boss-i-refuse-to-be-an-extra-chapter-20",318,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fas-a-mafia-boss-i-refuse-to-be-an-extra-cover.jpg"]
