Consequence of war.

Several hours in the Assembly discussing various issues with various politicians. Socializing in dangerous territory, where I prefer to face the gangsters of the city.

These men in suits are very dangerous, capable of doing anything to continue sucking public money.

They gain public sympathy with empty promises to fight crime, while secretly associating with various mafia leaders.

They are satisfied with the mercenaries because their movements increase social problems and thus keep them in power.

The country's economic development has been uneven geographically, with the Moscow region contributing the most to the country's GDP. Wealth inequality in Russia has increased substantially since 1990 (more than in China and other Eastern European countries). One study estimates that "the wealth held abroad by Russians is about three times the official net foreign exchange reserves and is comparable to the total financial assets of Russian households".

The war launched by the president has contributed to the fall in the country's GDP, several companies have gone bankrupt, poverty has increased, the ruble is lower and there is international pressure with sanctions. All this creates great uneasiness among the population, which leads people like me to take advantage of the momentary weakness of the laws to generate wealth with foreign currency.

Many Europeans stopped buying weapons, as did the Americans who were after my uncle.

I have some partners in other countries who want to get inside information on Russian weapons.

But most of them have simply closed their doors because of the US embargo.

There have been several proposals to move the headquarters to American soil, but the government has taken control, making negotiations impossible.

The war came at the worst possible time for all those living their quiet lives. Campaigns about the importance of defending Russian interests were carried out all over the media.

Every man was called up to serve his country. It was terrible to see this madness before my eyes, I was a gangster and killed many men in cold blood, but I never thought that these men in suits would be capable of anything worse.

" Young master Boris. " A lieutenant general of the army greets me.

"Sir, Petrov." I replied.

" I didn't see your name on the draft list."

"That must be why I didn't enlist."

"You're quite cheeky."

"Still holding a grudge against your mistress?"

" Your luck is running out, boy. I hope to see your name on the list soon, and you can be sure I'll take good care of that pretty face of yours."

" I appreciate your generous concern, but I hope I'll never be in your generous care."

The man walks away, smiling over the flash of the cameras.

The whole evening is about battle strategies to regain a former territory that is under the control of the neighboring country.

About the importance of preventing the UN from establishing a base near the border. They talk about how their bases will increase their power in other areas.

All I can think about is going home and hugging Andreia's body, smelling her scent. Fighting among these arrogant men to create the opportunity for businesses to grow.

I didn't know they were planning something against me, I should have known when the Lieutenant General came to greet me.

The awkward conversation we had lasted only a few seconds, and when the meeting was over, I walked with Sebastian to the parking lot. He was a little behind me, and I noticed the deafening silence, something that made it hard to keep my mouth shut.

I knew I was being betrayed by someone close to me, so I kept my cool before I got hit in the back of the head.

" Did you really have to betray me?"

"Sorry, buddy."

The punch knocked me off my feet.

"Your beautiful fiancée holds the largest mineral deposit in the country, do you know how many millions we're talking about? The Americans want that piece of land at all costs. You're just in everybody's way."

I was put in the trunk, Sebastian drove all the way out of town. I tried to escape by activating the GPS on the cell phone in my pocket.

Wherever I am, I'll be rescued.

After hours, the car finally stopped and I heard the sounds of gunfire and soldiers training.

" Where is he?"

It was the lieutenant's voice.

"In the trunk."

" Well done. Now go back to keeping an eye on the dirt, making sure the whole transaction goes smoothly."

This life seems like hell, I'm trying my best to protect the people I love, but they keep pushing me to the limit.

There's no happy ending to this unfair life, haven't they taken everything from me already? Why do I have to suffer so much?

As I opened the trunk, I kicked the soldier with all my might and ran to escape.

I was caught by a war veteran who threw me to the ground like a paper doll.

" We've got another one of those pigs! " he shouted, attracting the attention of the others. " This little girl needs to learn how to be a man, how about we give her a push!"

They formed a line on both sides and beat my body, forcing me to walk down the corridor on tiptoe. At the end of the corridor stood the lieutenant-general, smiling with satisfaction at the sight of me on the ground.

"Welcome to your new home."

"I'm not supposed to be here! " I said, getting up from the ground.

"Did you think they'd listen to you? You're just a child spoiled by your grandfather."

"You'll regret this! " I stared into his face.

He looked at his soldiers with a devilish smile.

" TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR NEW COMPANION, HE'S NOT THE TYPE TO RISK HIS LIFE TO SAVE SOMEONE!"

I felt a chill run down my spine as all eyes were on me. He left as soon as he spoke and I finally stood up and picked up my things.

" Are you hurt?"

" You had to take it so hard, Rut."

These are men who were secretly sent to the army to train to protect their families from these madmen, and we don't know how long their families will be safe.

Every day, the police take them from their homes and take them to interrogations where they are tortured for their public opinions.

Anything that goes against the government's tyranny or is questioned ends in terrible retribution.

That's why the group of mercenaries, along with some military personnel, are preparing to act against the government. We're going to protect our families, no matter what the cost, because we're the bad guys.

Everything I've been through has strengthened my spirit and led me down this path. I have been planning my plan for a long time.

Not just to take down my uncle, but to take down all the corruption that has brought the country to this deplorable state.
