"Mr. knight, here is the file report of this week's shipment. Everything is shifting according to our ways to the exact location without any hassle. But Mason informed about Ibiza shipment that the dealer Mr. Russo is demanding to decrease our prize of goods as to maintain their costing status. Mr. Russo wanted to talk about it and trying to fix a meeting with you about the costing and dealing issues. What should I tell him?", asked Oliver, the second hand of Raymond Knight.
Ramond Knight and Oliver Romano are childhood buddies. They know each other very well and now Oliver works with Raymond as the second hand in the mafia business. Raymond's middle name is Moretti, he is half-Italian and half-American. Moretti family's mafia business is running for fifth generations. Raymond is in the fifth generation.
Raymond Moretti Knight's father George Moretti Knight previously refused to accept their family mafia business only to protect his family from enemies. He went to America and built his Knight Empire with the help of his grandfather Gabriele Moretti. George changed his surname to Knight and used it in the normal business world, he avoided using Moretti. In a short period, George spreads his Knight Empire branches all over the world. But for some undeniable circumstances, George decided to take over the Moretti mafia business and handled his position for ten years.
George took his retirement from the mafia world when Raymond, his eldest son turned eighteen years. Later George handed the whole Knight Empire to Raymond at the age of twenty-one. Raymond had no option but to take responsibility. George decided to take full responsibility for his youngest son Xander, who by the way denied taking over either of their family business. Raymond accepted the fact that only he could look after their family business.
Raymond uses his surname for different purposes. To the whole world, he is ruthless,ice-berg businessman Raymond Knight. In the mafia world, he is Raymond Moretti. It wasn't easy for him to handle both businesses at once. So he appointed his most trustworthy friend Oliver Romano as his second hand in the Moretti mafia business. Oliver was sharp, brave, and efficient enough to handle this business effectively and reported every single detail about the shipments, dealing, tracking to Raymond, as a word from Raymond is the final word for them to seal to close the deal.
Back to the present, Raymond replied, "Tell Mason that the cost was known to them about our shipment from the beginning. So, we see no need to have a meeting about it. Tell them our ship is on the bay of Ibiza if they don't want to receive our goods, then tell them to compensate us with an extra-fine which will be doubled to the cost of our products for wasting our precious time and also tell them we are withdrawing services between us if they don't accept our goods from the bay. They got an hour to decide."
With that, he walks away from his penthouse and cuts the call. Raymond now in Newyork and from there he handled Knight Empire as the CEO. He is the cruelest and most feared businessman in the world. He is a tyrant. He never thinks twice to take over any company illegally if they couldn't pay their debt which they took from Knight Empire.
Raymond never shows mercy to them. He always carries a cold and dark expression that people feared to beg or even put their proposal in front of him. He is attractive and handsome, ladies tried to get some attention from him. They weren't aware of the fact that he despised women in his life. His bodyguards threw ladies away from Raymond if they were visible anywhere near him.
Even in Knight Empire, the percentage of women work is twenty-five, but they are highly professional and uptight. The Human Resource department hires female employees through their behavior, confidence, and punctuality. It was hard to crack an online aptitude test to go for the human resource interview which was even more difficult to pass by candidates. They hire perfectionists.
Raymond Knight's secretary Nicholas came and informed, "Mr. Knight, the secretary of Davies Corp. Jacob Evans informed that his boss Thomas Davies decided to finalize the deal with us and told us to come to Canada to finalize the deal with a proper meeting if possible."
Raymond replied, "You inform them that we are coming tomorrow afternoon and fix the time at 5 pm as we have a board meeting in the morning, and also prepare my jet and one night stay in Canada."
With that Raymond busied himself in his piles of works. After finishing his work he went to his penthouse at night. He packed his suitcase with his clothes and loaded guns for tomorrow's journey and went to sleep.
Raymond works like a robot. He doesn't know how to live a normal life. It has been nine years, he has been working as a mafia leader and he spent seven years in Knight Empire. He never feels exhausted. He is used to it.
But our Raymond Moretti Knight didn't know that the next day will bring a storm into his life and it will stay for the rest of his life. Raymond will change for good and his perspective toward women and life will change eventually.
The upcoming storm is going to make his life upside down. He will be thrilled. But he isn't someone who gives up easily. Let's see who will win the game. The fire or the Ice.

Raymond"Boss, we got to find the mole. He is now in the basement. Mr. Romano is trying to get information from him.", said Maxim, one of the Moretti's men."It's time to visit our special guest." With that, Raymond went to the captive's cell.He entered the cell and saw the mole bitten brutally. He went forward to his captive and staring at him with a blank expression. The captive, who was groaning in pain, was terrified to see the most feared mafia leader standing in front of him. He knew his end was near. The Moretti family was merciless. But, the young leader was more vicious and manipulative.Raymond asked in a cold voice with a blank expression, "Who sent you to spy on us?"The captive tried his luck once more, "Sir, I don't know anything. It's a misunderstanding. I'm not the mole, please, believe me."Raymond roared and punched his captive's already swollen jaw. He took a sharp knife from his drawer and stabbed him on

Behind the Mask 6. Dire straits
AryaYou will always shine if you never stop chasing after your dreams. I believe in it. Your path of destination can be different from others, but you need to hold your ground and keep walking, don't be afraid to see the bumpy road. A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you. It works on me, I think it also works on others as well. Okay, now enough with my positive vibes. I am nervous a bit about the tournament. But, I am also excited about my motorbike racing.I woke up and watched toward the window that the day was rather pleasant. I went downstairs, had my breakfast, and was ready to check on my motorbike. I checked on the main things; like tires and wheels, brakes, fuel systems, and other parts as well. I changed some parts with new ones which I have brought home earlier. Then checked on the scratches and put color on those places after cleaning my who
