The Mafia Prince And His Reincarnated Nemesis
Chapter 78: Are you...?

Chapter 78: Are you...?

Eduardo didn’t even bother to grab a new shirt. He lay bare-chested, showing off his perfect chest and abs, even the small tattoo of his name that was under the wound patch.

Eduardo tilted his head and saw the person who tried to hurt him. His fingers that had melted were bleeding and were in bad shape.

"What do we do to him, Eddy? Bruno Leo sent him to get rid of you" Nikolai said.

"The fake Carlo? Ah... I see" Eduardo pulled the needle off his skin again and walked towards him. He tried to bend down, with his hand over his injury. He stared at the man who was still struggling to speak.

"Do you want to say something?" Eduardo asked and he nodded his head.

"Know that if you try to kill yourself, I’ll track your family and make sure they join you in hell. Do you understand?" Eduardo threatened him, sinking his fingers into his cheek.

He nodded his head vigorously.

Eduardo pulled out the piece of cloth that was used to gag him. He started coughing and panting at the same time, saliva dripping out his mouth.

"If...If I tell you everything, would you spare my life? My hand... It’s hurting as hell" he screamed.

"It hurts? But you were about to put that same thing in my body. Were you trying to melt all of my insides?" Eduardo smirked. The man slammed his forehead on the floor repeatedly, not caring about hurting himself or the bleeding.

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!" He repeated himself each time his forehead hit the floor.

Eduardo ignored him and turned to Nikolai. His eyes trailed at the stranger close to Nikolai. It was the first time he had seen Alessandro.

"Who is he, Nicky? A bodyguard?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Alessandro frowned and stepped forward, pointing his finger at Eduardo.

"You’re the one who’s a bodyguard!" He was pissed off.

"Yeah, I’m a bodyguard" Eduardo scratched his jaw with an indifferent look on his face. He stood from where he bent and walked back to his bed. Nikolai turned his face, holding back his laughter. The way Alessandro tried to yell at Eduardo was so cute.

"I’m tired, Nicky. Just deal with it however you want to. I’ll keep my mouth shut and won’t tell Marcello about what happened"

"Really?" Nikolai asked. Eduardo nodded his head, yawning. His head was hurting and his eyes felt so heavy. He doesn’t care what they do to the stranger, but after hearing the conversation between him and whoever the person standing close to Nikolai had, he figured out the person was sent by Bruno Leo.

’That bastard wants to kill me by using such cheap tricks. Tsk!’ he frowned.

"We’ll interrogate him and get proof of Bruno’s attempted murder" Nikolai assured him.

"Sure. Do whatever you like" Eduardo waved his hand.

"You really did have a rough day today. Sorry sweetheart" Nikolai grinned.

"First, it was Marcello’s father, next that perverted stalker Bruno Leo, who else... Did Viktor also send you to end my life?" He asked, staring at Alessandro. Nikolai tightened his lips and also diverted his gaze at Alessandro. He was amazed, wondering how Eduardo figured out his identity.

Alessandro clenched his fist, glaring at Eduardo. He knew he hid his face with a mask when he saved Viktor that day.

’How on earth did he find out? What the hell is he? A psychic?’

"How do you know he’s with Viktor?" Nikolai asked.

"Huh? He saved Viktor the last time, didn’t he?" Eduardo reached for an apple that was on the table. He took a huge bite out of it, chewing slowly.

"But my face was covered. How did you find out I was the same person?" He asked. Eduardo diverted his gaze. He remembered when he glared at him before leaving with Viktor that day. There’s no way he’ll forget those eyes.

"Eyes" Eduardo gave a quick response.

Alessandro trailed his fingers into his hair. He was worried that he already got caught by Eduardo. If Marcello knows about his identity, there could be an issue.

"Don’t worry. I’m not a snitch. I won’t tell Marcello anything" he winked and placed his finger over his lips.

Alessandro widened his eyes, seeing how nice Eduardo was. His lips curved into a smile. He grabbed the intruder by his collar.

"You can take a rest now. We’ll take care of this bastard"

Eduardo nodded. He watched as they pulled the man out. Nikolai even waved at him and they slammed the door behind him.

"Seems like that person wasn’t here to kill me. He was also with Nikolai and they seemed close. Are they... Dating?" Eduardo rubbed his chin.

Alessandro and Nikolai sneaked out of the hospital through the back elevator, hoping to interrogate him in the underground car park. Somewhere that’s dark, gloomy...

But someone wearing a black hoodie and black cap stopped in front of them. Nikolai stepped back.

"Hey! Who are you?" Alessandra stood in front of Nikolai, trying to protect him.

"Don’t do anything, Alessandro" Nikolai stopped him. He looked back at the stranger with a hoodie. His body was so familiar and the aura was noticeable.

The man raised his hand and took off his black cap, exposing his face.

"Why are you out here, Nicky? What happened to protecting Eduardo?" Marcello growled angrily. Nikolai shuddered, hearing his cousin’s voice.

Alessandro also froze at the spot. He was standing in front of Marcello. The one person he must avoid.

Eduardo was able to recognise him after just one glance. He was worried that Marcello would also recognise him. If he does, Viktor could be in danger.

"I... Well, you see" Nikolai chuckled weirdly as he stuttered.

Marcello ignored his cousin and stared at the person that appeared between them. He took heavy steps towards Alessandro and lowered his head to look at his face. Sweat buds appeared at the corner of his head as he avoided Marcello’s gaze, but Marcello wasn’t backing away.

"What do you want, sir?" He asked, trying to fake his voice.

"You..." Marcello snapped his finger as if he recognised him. Alessandro flinched, and his heart started to pound in his chest.

"Are you..."
