My Sunshine

In the darkness and secrecy of the city of M, I built a powerful criminal empire, becoming the ruthless kingpin of the underworld. Under my leadership, the large syndicate dominated the criminal world. I was known as an extremely intelligent and ruthless figure, always maintaining the loyalty of those close to me.

But in the end, the greatest pain of my life was not the formidable adversaries, but the betrayal of those I trusted the most. One of them was Landon, who had been by my side for years, a loyal individual who never questioned his loyalty.

But on a fateful day, I discovered Landon's betrayal. I asked him in surprise, 'Why, why is it you? Betray my trust."

Landon, with a contemptuous expression, replied, "Ha, do you think I was loyal to you? That's why I stayed by your side, to spy for the ones above. In the end, you got what you deserved."

Landon's words pierced straight into my heart. I felt helpless and astonished, witnessing the person I had supported and trusted the most now trading loyalty for the enemy. The battle between us, two crime bosses, had turned into a merciless struggle where only one could survive.

Landon spoke with a mocking tone, as if he were getting back at someone, while ignoring the person lying in agony under the pool of blood.

"I treated you well, trusted you, and you ended up nurturing a traitorous dog like you."

"Haha, treated me well? Am I hearing things correctly? Haha, it's really funny! Do you still remember the big fire massacre nine years ago? A child covered in blood stood in front of your car, begging you to help his family."

Landon spoke with a face full of anger, as if he couldn't hide his resentment.

"What do you mean? The big fire massacre happened a long time ago. Besides, that incident had nothing to do with you!" I tried to explain.

"Haha! It's really funny!" he laughed mockingly. Just when the story wasn't over yet, gunshots rang out, a bullet hit the stomach of the man lying on the ground.

"If you've forgotten, let me remind you - Joseph Martin."

Nine years ago

A horrifying scene unfolded before my eyes as a massive fire erupted from a building with fierce intensity. The flames were high, crimson, and the smoke obscured everything. The fire burned so intensely that it turned everything into ashes and cinders.

The shouts and cries of those trapped by the sea of flames became a bizarre symphony of despair. People screamed, begging for help, but no one responded. Some cars drove by with their headlights blazing, but none of them stopped to assist. The desperation turned into a sound of helplessness and isolation.

At that moment, a young child, wearing a white jacket, emerged onto the street under the bright glare of the fire. The child stood courageously, their innocent eyes staring directly at an oncoming car speeding at full throttle. A miracle happened when the desperate car slammed on the brakes to avoid colliding with the child. The tires screeched loudly, and the car swerved violently before coming to a halt several meters down the road.

Everyone, no matter where they were, turned to look at this miraculous rescue. Hope bloomed in their hearts. The child had become a beacon of light in the pitch-black sea of fire, and the stopped car was a sign of hope and compassion in a world drowning in agony.

The final scene in the story is a shocking and profound conclusion. The child realizes that the person standing before him, whom he calls 'boss,' is the one responsible for the tragedy that befell his family, and that person is Joseph Martin. As the truth is revealed, the story ends with a series of gunshots, terrifying and gruesome sounds.

Two fates have collided, and the beginning of the story is explained. Joseph Martin, seen as a ruthless crime lord, has faced his own retribution, and the final chapter of his life is far from a happy ending.

Ultimately, the story raises many questions about human emotions, psychology, and redemption. Why did Joseph Martin do what he did? Could he have changed his life if given the chance? If time could be turned back, perhaps he would have saved the family of that child, perhaps he would have dedicated himself to helping them, perhaps all these years as a cold-blooded, ruthless character, he was truly wrong? In the end, why.
