00:00A riot broke out in the suburbs, when my mother secretly left me at the edge of it.
00:06My crying caught the attention of the winning side.
00:10They walked over with their guns raised, and one of them pressed a pistol right against my forehead.
00:18She's so cute.
00:21How about taking her home with us?
00:23Since then, I have 109 brothers in my family.
00:26At home, I'm the princess, but in high school, things were not so good.
00:31Valeria Rossi, a rich student, has me cornered in the washroom, with her lackeys flanking her.
00:37You're just a low-income student, so why are you still putting on airs around us?
00:43Polluting the air has consequences.
00:46She beat my legs with a hot curling iron that was still plugged in, burning my skin into black and
00:50torn flesh.
00:51The more I screamed, the wilder and more thrilled Valeria became.
00:54The pain was so intense, that I broke free from Valeria's thoughts, and dragged her down the stairs with me.
01:02When I wake up, Marcella Grego, Dean of Students, berates me angrily.
01:07All Valeria did was beat you up.
01:10When someone talks trash and puts their hands on you, you ought to be asking what you did wrong.
01:15How dare you plot revenge against her instead?
01:18Summon your guardian here right away, or forget about leaving.
01:23All of my hair stands on Uft as soon as I hear the command.
01:26My guardians, 109 brothers, none of them are ordinary people.
01:30And I've been leading a normal life for more than a dozen years.
01:34In order not to cause them any trouble.
01:40But if trouble shows up at my door, then I can't help it.
01:45Are you sure you want to meet my guardians, Miss Grego?
01:50As soon as the words left my mouth, a heavy slap hit me in the face.
01:55I was instantly knocked to the ground.
01:57How dare you lay a hand on my daughter, you little bitch!
02:02You get your guardians over here right now and apologize to us!
02:06Valeria Rossi's mother, Mrs. Rossi, whose eyes were burning with a vicious rage.
02:12Mrs. Rossi, you can rest assured that the school will handle this matter with the utmost severity.
02:19There will be no leniency whatsoever.
02:22She then turned and yelled in my face,
02:26Bianca Crawford, look at what you've done to Valeria!
02:30Valeria and her thugs trapped me in the restroom.
02:34They took a hot curling iron and seared my legs with it.
02:39That's why I...
02:40She's lying!
02:41I was just walking by
02:43when she suddenly went crazy and pushed me down the stairs.
02:47She's just jealous of our wealth.
02:50To helly wealth.
02:51She's had it out for me for ages.
02:55No, it's not like that!
02:57Shut up!
02:59Bianca, the facts speak for themselves.
03:02You attacked her on purpose.
03:04She yanked me out of the nurse's office.
03:07Then, she roughly fished out my phone
03:09and slapped it against my face with a sharp smack.
03:12Jack, I don't want to hear another word of nonsense from you.
03:17Call your brothers right now
03:20and tell them to get over here and pay up.
03:26As I held the phone
03:28and stared at all the names in my contact list,
03:31I still couldn't bring myself to make the call.
03:34While I indeed had 109 brothers,
03:37the eldest, Enzo Crawford,
03:41was the dawn of the family.
03:50My third brother, Luca Crawford,
03:54ran an arms smuggling operation.
03:57My 78th brother, Kieran Crawford,
04:01operated underground casinos.
04:04Sure, they were always slipping me black bank cards
04:07and patting me on the head.
04:10Bianca, don't go looking for trouble.
04:13But if trouble finds you,
04:15you come straight to us.
04:17If anyone lays a finger on you,
04:20I will wipe out her entire family.
04:24That's right.
04:26If anyone dares mess with you,
04:29I'll come at them with twin blades swinging.
04:34However, every last one of them
04:37was on Norberg's most wanted list.
04:44If the police involved,
04:46my brothers are definitely going to be in trouble.
04:49I couldn't drag them into this.
04:51Mrs. Griot,
04:53my brothers are all working out of state,
04:55like really far.
04:58There's no way they can come.
05:01Can I just write an apology letter?
05:04Say I'm sorry?
05:05Or take detention instead?
05:07Just please don't call them, okay?
05:11They're working out of state.
05:13It's no wonder you turned out
05:14to be such a shameless brat.
05:16And they can't come.
05:18That won't do.
05:20You think a kid like you
05:21can afford Valeria's medical bills?
05:23and compensation for emotional damages?
05:26How much I can...
05:28Miss Grieca,
05:30here's $500,000,
05:33my donation to the school.
05:35I'm not asking for much.
05:37Just have Bianca's brothers apologize
05:38and make things right.
05:40Otherwise,
05:41I'm going straight to the police
05:43to report her for assault.
05:45Once she's got a record,
05:46she can forget about
05:48ever getting into college.
05:51Miss Grieca's eyes lit up.
05:55She turned to me
05:56and solemnly said,
05:58Bianca,
05:59did you hear that?
06:00Either you call your brothers
06:02right now
06:03to come pay up
06:04and apologize
06:05or you get a criminal record
06:07and kiss college goodbye.
06:09The words criminal record
06:11hit me like a needle
06:13stabbing straight into my brain.
06:15I couldn't have a criminal record.
06:18As I looked at the bank card
06:20and Mrs. Grieca's snobbish, ugly face,
06:24tears suddenly welled up in my eyes.
06:27With trembling fingers,
06:28I finally turned on my phone.
06:31Miss Gressie,
06:32don't call the police.
06:34I'll call my brother.
06:36I tapped the name
06:37at the top of my contact list.
06:39Enzo.
06:40He could pretend
06:42to be an ordinary person
06:43and get through this
06:44without any trouble.
06:46The call connected
06:48the instant I dialed.
07:01I didn't know
07:02what Enzo was doing,
07:03but I could vaguely hear
07:05rustling sounds
07:06from the receiver.
07:08What's up?
07:11Bianca?
07:12Enzo?
07:13Mrs. Grieci wants you
07:14to come over to the school?
07:20Go to your school.
07:22You won another award,
07:23didn't you?
07:25This is the first time
07:26you've ever asked me
07:27to pick up a certificate for you.
07:29Hold on.
07:30I'm coming right now.
07:31Wait, no.
07:33I was about to say
07:34that it wasn't that
07:36when a crisp gun shosh
07:37suddenly rang out
07:38from the other end
07:39of the line.
07:40I froze on the spot.
07:42Memories from when
07:42I was a child
07:43came flooding back
07:44in an instant.
07:45Enzo would come home
07:46with blood on his sleeve
07:47every time,
07:48yet he'd lie
07:49and tell me
07:49that it was just ketchup.
07:50The words on the tip
07:51of my tongue
07:52turned into something
07:53else entirely.
07:55I-
07:56It's nothing.
07:57I can pick
07:58the certificate myself.
08:00Carry on with
08:01whatever you're doing.
08:01I'm hanging up now.
08:03Hearing this,
08:04Mrs. Greco
08:05immediately rushed over,
08:07grabbed my phone,
08:08and said into it,
08:09So you're
08:10Bianca's
08:11trash brother.
08:14Miss Greco
08:15quickly realized
08:16that I had already
08:17hung up the phone
08:18before she could grab it.
08:19There was no one
08:20on the other end
08:21to listen to her.
08:23Just as she was
08:24about to call back,
08:25I snatched
08:26the phone away.
08:29You've gone
08:30and made a mess
08:31this big,
08:32and you're still
08:33trying to keep it
08:34from your family?
08:35My husband
08:36is the new
08:36Hano in this town.
08:38He's got connections
08:39in the police department.
08:40You mess with Valeria,
08:42and we'll make
08:43your whole family
08:43of noblies
08:44disappear in a heartbeat.
08:46My brother
08:47really can't come.
08:49I'm sorry, Valeria.
08:51I was wrong.
08:52Just don't call
08:53the police, okay?
08:55Now you're trying
08:55to bargain.
08:56Give me your phone.
09:01I'll talk
09:02to your brother myself.
09:07However,
09:07before she could
09:08even make that call,
09:09the phone battery died
09:10and the screen
09:10went black.
09:11Mrs. Rossi
09:12angrily slammed
09:12the phone
09:13onto the ground.
09:13Since that's the case,
09:15fine.
09:15Let's just call
09:16the police.
09:17Hearing that,
09:18my whole body
09:18tensed up
09:19and tears streamed
09:20down my face
09:20uncontrollably.
09:21Please,
09:22don't call police.
09:23Please,
09:24I'll apologize
09:25and make it up
09:25to Valeria.
09:26Just please
09:26don't call the police,
09:27okay?
09:28Valeria's face
09:29finally twisted
09:30into a smirk.
09:31She stopped
09:31Mrs. Rossi
09:32and said
09:33in a raised voice,
09:34All right,
09:34fine,
09:35but a public apology
09:36isn't enough.
09:36You will slap yourself
09:37in front of the whole school
09:38and you will continue
09:39until I am satisfied.
09:42Fine.
09:43The humiliation
09:44cut deep,
09:45but it was all worth it
09:46so long as my brothers
09:47weren't dragged into this.
09:49I got a call
09:49from Bianca.
09:50She won the award
09:51at school.
09:52She used to only let us know
09:53after she'd already
09:54brought the trophy home.
09:55Does that mean
09:55we can actually go
09:56to her award ceremony
09:57this time?
09:58Great.
09:58Let's head to the school
09:59right now.
10:03Postpone the nuclear
10:03submarine development
10:04program meeting.
10:06I'm going to go surprise
10:07my little sister.
10:08Right after the call,
10:09my brothers piled
10:09into Enzo's Rolls-Royce
10:10and sped off
10:11toward my school.
10:12Right at that moment,
10:13Ms. Greco was hauling me
10:14off to the school auditorium.
10:16The crowd below
10:17was a dense sea of heads
10:18shifting restlessly.
10:20I hear that Bianca's family
10:22is dirt poor.
10:23How spiteful of her.
10:25She's just jealous
10:26that Valeria's rich.
10:27Every cruel word
10:28cut deep,
10:29right down to the bone.
10:31Valeria is in a wheelchair,
10:33playing the victim.
10:35Mrs. Rossi's furious shout
10:37came booming over.
10:38Apologize to my daughter!
10:40Slap yourself now!
10:43It was out of resentment
10:44that I pushed Valeria
10:45down the stairs.
10:47I was jealous of her.
10:49I am a worthless
10:50piece of trash.
10:51My voice echoed
10:52across the hall,
10:53each word feeling
10:54like a knife slicing
10:55through my throat.
10:56Pushed to the front
10:57in her wheelchair
10:57by a few classmates,
10:58Valeria looked on smugly
11:00as I knelt there apologizing.
11:01Her eyes alight
11:02with sheer exhilaration.
11:03As I wrapped up
11:04my apology,
11:05I slowly started
11:05slapping myself.
11:07The first slap
11:08left my cheek
11:08with a sharp sting.
11:09Next came the second slap.
11:12The third,
11:12the fourth,
11:14with each one.
11:15My cheek went from numb
11:16to searing pain.
11:18Blood trickled down
11:19from my lips.
11:21No one noticed
11:22that a luxurious Royce
11:24had pulled up
11:24at the school's main gate.
11:30My four brothers
11:31stepped out of the car
11:32one after another.
11:34Enzo straightened
11:34his clothes,
11:35his face beaming
11:37with pride.
11:38Kendron checked himself
11:39in the mirror
11:40to make sure
11:40his hair was perfect.
11:42Luca gently adjusted
11:44his gold-rimmed glasses.
11:46Stella put on
11:46his military cap.
11:49So this is Bianca's school.
11:51Finally,
11:52we get to celebrate
11:53for our little princess.
11:55I hope Bianca
11:57will be happy to see us.
11:58Let's hurry in!
12:00Hold on.
12:02Let's at least ask
12:03where the award ceremony is.
12:04Enzo walked up
12:05to the security guard
12:06and asked where the school
12:07usually holds
12:08its award ceremonies.
12:09The guard pointed
12:10to the school auditorium.
12:12The school auditorium.
12:13All the students are there.
12:14With the exact answer,
12:16Enzo smiled slightly.
12:18Bianca,
12:19we're coming.
12:20My brothers were heading
12:21toward the school auditorium
12:23where I was.
12:25Meanwhile,
12:26inside the auditorium,
12:27I was still slapping myself.
12:29The 50th slap.
12:31The 80th.
12:32Finally,
12:33Valeria smiled
12:34with satisfaction.
12:36Well, well, well.
12:38it seems our dear
12:39Bianca has truly
12:40learned her lesson.
12:41Let's forgive her.
12:43Greco looked at Mrs. Rossi,
12:45her eyes full of flattery.
12:47Mrs. Rosie,
12:48what do you think?
12:50My daughter might be satisfied,
12:51but since we're all here,
12:54let's make it a round number.
12:56Make it a hundred slaps.
12:58As you wish.
13:00Greco turned to me,
13:01her fagging smile gone,
13:03replaced by a cold,
13:04stern look.
13:05Did you hear that,
13:06Bianca?
13:07Keep going.
13:09Don't stop until
13:10you've hit a hundred.
13:11My hand trembled.
13:13My face was already
13:14covered in blood.
13:16But I didn't dare stop.
13:18I couldn't let them
13:19call the police.
13:20I couldn't let them
13:21hurt my brothers.
13:22Amidst the mocking laughter
13:24from the crowd,
13:25I kept slapping myself.
13:27I slapped until my vision
13:29started to blur.
13:30And through the haze,
13:31I saw the doors of the auditorium
13:32suddenly kicked open.
13:34I saw my four brothers'
13:36tall figures appear
13:37at the entrance,
13:38silhouetted against the light.
13:40My brothers really did arrive.
13:43But by the time they arrived,
13:45the punishment ceremony
13:46was already over.
13:47Looks like we're late.
13:49The award ceremony's already over.
13:50That's okay.
13:51We can wait for her
13:52at the school gate.
13:53We've got all the presents
13:54for our little princess
13:55ready anyway.
13:56My brothers turned
13:58and walked towards
13:59the main gate.
14:00I had already made it
14:02back to the classroom.
14:04Valeria was in front of me.
14:06Some people are just
14:07born poor.
14:10Do you think
14:11a simple apology
14:12is enough?
14:16From now on,
14:17you are my doggy.
14:18When you see me,
14:19address me as master.
14:20Understand?
14:22Humiliated,
14:23I bit my lip hard.
14:25Instead of replying,
14:26I quietly walked
14:27back to my seat.
14:28There.
14:29I pulled out a wet wipe
14:31and scrubbed hard
14:32at the red words
14:33painted on my desk.
14:34But the paint
14:35had already silted
14:36into the grain of the wood.
14:38The more I scrubbed,
14:39the more it smeared,
14:40like one ugly scar
14:42after another.
14:44All day long,
14:45I was surrounded
14:46by malice.
14:49The moment
14:50the final bell rang,
14:51I could no longer
14:52take it
14:53and fled the room.
14:54my four brothers
14:55were waiting for me
14:56at the school gate,
14:57but I had no idea.
15:03I didn't dare
15:04to go through
15:04the main entrance.
15:05I slipped out
15:06through the side gate
15:07instead.
15:09But I'd only gone
15:10a few steps
15:11there when Valeria
15:12and her three lacquets
15:13blocked the entrance.
15:15Valeria stood
15:16from her wheelchair
15:17and stretched her limbs
15:19a little
15:19before walking
15:20toward me.
15:22didn't you say
15:23you'd be my doggie?
15:25I haven't even
15:26left yet
15:27and you're already
15:28running off.
15:30Are you messing
15:31with me, Bianca?
15:32That's why
15:33you didn't send for me.
15:34Whether I send
15:35for you or not,
15:36you'll follow behind me
15:38like a good dog.
15:39Valerie pulled out
15:40her phone
15:41and aimed the camera
15:42at my wretched face.
15:43Come on,
15:45apologize again.
15:46Say I'm a trash bitch
15:48and I shouldn't
15:49have forgotten
15:49to be Mrs. Valeria's
15:51lap fog.
15:52I bit my lip
15:54and didn't move.
15:55That only spurred
15:56Valeria on
15:57and she launched
15:58right into a fresh
15:59round of torment.
16:00They poured ice-cold
16:01minichile water
16:01over my head
16:02to rate my
16:03soaked school
16:03U-Inform
16:04and ground cigarette butt
16:05has partly
16:06across my face.
16:08Valeria held up
16:09her phone,
16:10laughing with
16:10unhinged glee.
16:12Come on,
16:13smile and say
16:14thank you Valeria
16:15for teaching
16:16them lesson
16:16or should I
16:17call the police
16:18and have your
16:19shameful brother
16:20take a nice
16:21little trip
16:22down to the station
16:23for a chat?
16:24My mind went blank
16:25with a deafening buzz.
16:27I stared at her
16:29in disbelief.
16:30Did Valeria
16:31actually know
16:32that my brothers
16:33were mafias?
16:34I didn't dare
16:34risk it.
16:36All I could do
16:37was stand there
16:38shaking,
16:39my voice rasping
16:40as I echoed
16:41the words back
16:42to him.
16:43Thank you Valeria
16:45for teaching
16:45me a lesson.
16:47Only after I had
16:48said it dozens
16:48of times did
16:49Valeria finally
16:50smile in satisfaction.
16:51She then kicked
16:52me and walked
16:53off.
16:53See?
16:54If you just
16:55behaved this
16:56well from the
16:56start,
16:57none of this
16:58would have
16:58happened.
16:59From now on,
17:01you wait for me
17:01here after school
17:02every day.
17:03Go on.
17:05Whatever I say,
17:06you do it.
17:08Yes,
17:09master.
17:10Valeria left
17:10with her laddies.
17:12In an instant,
17:13I was the only
17:14one left in the
17:14alley.
17:15After a long
17:16moment,
17:17I slowly
17:17crouched.
17:18On the ground
17:19lay a soaked
17:20math test,
17:21the bright red
17:21100 gearing
17:22harshly against
17:23the mess.
17:23Fighting back
17:24tears with
17:25everything I had,
17:26I reached out
17:27to pick my books
17:28and papers up
17:29from the muddy
17:29water.
17:30But the moment
17:31I looked up,
17:31I saw five
17:32men standing
17:33at the entrance
17:33of the alley.
17:34At the front
17:35was Enzo,
17:36and behind him
17:37stood four more
17:37of my brothers.
17:38Their faces
17:39were as dark
17:40as thunder.
17:41After a long
17:42silence,
17:43Enzo crouched
17:44and gently wiped
17:45the blood from
17:45my face with
17:46his fingers.
17:47Who did this?
17:51I turned
17:51my face away,
17:53unable to meet
17:54the fury burning
17:55in his eyes,
17:56and murmured,
17:58no one.
18:00I just fell.
18:02You fell?
18:04Kieran snatched
18:05up the math
18:06tux book
18:07from the muddy
18:07water and pointed
18:08at the filthy
18:09shoe prints
18:10covering it.
18:11This is from
18:12a fall.
18:13This was stomped
18:14on purpose.
18:15Luca pushed
18:16up his glasses,
18:17the gaze behind
18:18the lenses
18:18as sharp as a blade.
18:20Bianca,
18:21just tell us.
18:22Even if you told
18:23us to blow up
18:24the whole city,
18:24we'd risk our lives
18:25to take every
18:26last one of them
18:27down.
18:27But I bit down
18:28hard on my lip.
18:30I couldn't say it.
18:32Mrs. Rossi had
18:33money and power,
18:35and Valeria had
18:36said that even
18:36the police
18:37answered to her
18:38family,
18:38my brothers were
18:39all wanted
18:40fugitives.
18:41I couldn't drag
18:42them into this
18:43and send them
18:43to prison.
18:44I shook my
18:45head stubbornly,
18:47even as tears
18:48I refused to let
18:49fall pooled in
18:50my eyes.
18:50The seconds
18:51dragged on.
18:52Finally,
18:53Enzo gently
18:54took my ice-cold
18:55hand,
18:56his grip firm
18:57despite its
18:58softness.
18:58Bianca,
18:59do you remember
19:00when you were
19:01five years old
19:02and that fat
19:03kid from the
19:03next street
19:04stole your
19:04candy?
19:06You went
19:06home and
19:07cried all
19:07night.
19:08The next
19:09day,
19:10his whole
19:11family moved
19:11away.
19:15We're no
19:16saints,
19:16but our
19:17family has
19:18one rule.
19:19Anyone who
19:19lays a hand
19:20on you
19:21is dead.
19:22The wind in
19:23the alley
19:24died in an
19:24instant.
19:25I watched
19:26as my
19:26brothers silently
19:27surrounded me,
19:28their eyes
19:29burning with
19:30barely restrained
19:31fury and
19:31heartache.
19:32All the
19:33grievances,
19:34fear,
19:35and humiliation
19:35of the past
19:36few days came
19:37crashing through
19:38my frayed
19:39nerves at once.
19:42Enzo!
19:43I threw
19:43myself into
19:44his arms and
19:45burst into
19:45violent sobs,
19:47choking out
19:48everything between
19:49ragged breaths.
19:50It was
19:51Valeria.
19:52Her dad is
19:53Antonio Rossi and
19:54he owns the
19:54mines.
19:55Valeria says
19:56not to see her
19:57family owns the
19:58whole of Norberg.
19:59She bullies me
20:00every day and
20:01she even recorded
20:02a video today.
20:03The brand new
20:04phone in
20:04Kieran's hand
20:05let out a
20:05sharp crack.
20:07He had
20:08crushed the
20:08screen with
20:09his bare grip.
20:10The nerve of
20:11a mere mine
20:11owner.
20:13That bastard
20:14Antonio.
20:15When I put
20:16him in power
20:17back in the
20:17day, he was
20:19still groveling
20:20at my feet.
20:21This is
20:22outright rebellion.
20:23How dare he
20:25lay a hand on
20:25Bianca.
20:26My brother's
20:27furious curses
20:28rose one after
20:28another as I
20:29listened in
20:30stunned confusion.
20:31Enzo, however,
20:32just gently
20:33patted my
20:34back.
20:34Then, he
20:35pulled out
20:36his phone and
20:37dialed a
20:37number.
20:39Tell everyone
20:40to drop what
20:40they're doing and
20:41assemble in
20:42Norberg within
20:42the hour.
20:44Bianca's been
20:44hurt.
20:46The next
20:47morning, Enzo
20:48told me to
20:49go to
20:49school as
20:49usual.
20:50I nodded
20:51and went
20:51alone.
20:52As expected,
20:54at the
20:55school gate,
20:56Valeria was
20:57already waiting
20:57beside Mrs.
20:58Rossi's flashy
20:59luxury car.
21:00The moment she
21:01saw me, she
21:02raised her voice
21:03deliberately.
21:05Well, well,
21:06well.
21:07If it isn't
21:07the doggy who
21:08was on her
21:09knees, slap
21:10me.
21:11But before she
21:12could finish
21:12speaking, I
21:14walked right past
21:15her calmly, as
21:17if she were
21:17nothing but
21:18air, Valeria
21:19froze, stunned.
21:22Bianca!
21:23Humiliation
21:24flaring into
21:25rage, she
21:25lunged forward
21:26and grabbed
21:26my backpack.
21:28Did I say
21:28you could
21:29leave?
21:30Yesterday's
21:30lesson didn't
21:31stick, huh?
21:32You worthless
21:33piece of trash!
21:35She raised her
21:35hand, ready to
21:36slap me across
21:37the face.
21:38I'll teach you
21:39some goddamn
21:39manners!
21:40But remembering
21:41Enzo's words,
21:42I felt a surge
21:42of confidence I'd
21:43never known before.
21:44A second
21:45later, I seized
21:46her wrist in
21:46mid-air, my
21:47grip like iron.
21:49Staring into
21:50her startled
21:51eyes, I said
21:52emphatically in
21:52a cold voice,
21:53I said, let
21:55go.
21:55You little
21:56bitch!
21:57Have you lost
21:58your mind?
22:00Beside her,
22:01Mrs. Rossi
22:01stormed out of
22:02the car and
22:02shoved me
22:03hard.
22:04You miserable
22:05bitch!
22:05Still haven't
22:06learned your
22:06lesson, have
22:07you?
22:09Mrs. Rossi
22:10grabbed me by
22:10the collar, spit
22:12flying into my
22:13face.
22:13I'm gonna kill
22:14you today if
22:15it's the last
22:15thing I do!
22:17But the next
22:17moment, a
22:18deafening roar
22:19came from the
22:20sky.
22:20Dozens of
22:21helicopters suddenly
22:22hovered over the
22:23school, a dark
22:24swarm blotting out
22:25the sky.
22:26Then came the
22:26heavy, grinding
22:27rumber of tank
22:28treads crushing
22:29over asphalt.
22:30Three dark
22:30green tanks, their
22:31cannons aimed
22:32squarely at the
22:33school gate, and a
22:34swarm of reporters
22:35armed with cameras
22:36and microphones
22:37surged forward,
22:38their flashers
22:39erupting into a
22:40blinding storm of
22:41light.
22:42Then, from the
22:43armored helicopters,
22:44figures began
22:45dropping down in
22:46waves.
22:46My brothers
22:47emerged from
22:47every corner,
22:48converging into an
22:49impenetrable wall
22:50of bodies, surrounding
22:51me completely.
22:52Then, right before
22:53Mrs. Rossi's
22:54petrified eyes,
22:55Bianzo's voice
22:56thundered, crashing
22:58across Norham like
22:59a storm.
23:00You dare touch
23:01Bianca again, try
23:02me.
23:03A deathly silence
23:05fell over the
23:05school gate.
23:06Mrs. Rossi's hand
23:07froze mid-air, still
23:10gripping my collar.
23:10The rage on her
23:12face was extinguished
23:13in an instant,
23:14replaced by sheer
23:15terror and
23:15bewilderment.
23:16I looked at my
23:17brothers before me.
23:18Some were business
23:19magnals in sharp
23:20suits radiating power
23:21and prestige.
23:23Others were covered
23:24in tattoos, exuding a
23:25lethal aura, a few
23:26even wore crisp
23:27military uniforms, with
23:29gleaming general
23:30stars on their
23:31shoulders.
23:31They stood there in
23:32silence, but their
23:34gazes were fixed on
23:35Mrs. Rosa, like
23:36blades.
23:37Enzo slowly stepped
23:38forward.
23:39With every step he
23:40took, Mrs. Rossi
23:42stumbled backward, as
23:43if pushed by an
23:44invisible force.
23:45However, Enzo simply
23:47walked up to me, and
23:48gently brushed Mrs.
23:49Rossi's hand off my
23:51collar.
23:51The gesture was as
23:52casual as clicking
23:53away a speck of
23:54dust.
23:55Mrs. Rossi, your
23:58husband own a mine,
23:59right?
24:00His voice made
24:01Mrs. Rossi
24:02tremble all over.
24:05Right.
24:06My husband has a
24:07mine.
24:07behind her, Kieran
24:08let out a cold
24:09laugh.
24:10That shady rare
24:11earth operation with
24:12incomplete permits, that
24:14mind.
24:14Luca pushed up his
24:16gold-rimmed glasses, and
24:17added leisurely.
24:19There were three
24:20workplace deaths that
24:21you swept under the
24:22rel last year, and
24:24not a single worker's
24:25family got more than
24:26$200,000 in
24:28compensation.
24:29Mrs. Rossi instantly
24:30turned as white as a
24:31sheet.
24:33How do you know
24:34that?
24:35That doesn't
24:36matter.
24:37All you need to
24:38know is that your
24:39family's mine is
24:40gone.
24:42As of now.
24:44What?
24:45His voice made Mrs.
24:47Rosie tremble all
24:48over.
24:49What are you
24:50talking about?
24:51My husband owns the
24:53biggest mine in the
24:54entire city!
24:55But the next
24:56second, her phone
24:57rang.
24:58The caller ID showed
24:59it was her husband.
25:02She nervously put the
25:03phone to her ear, and
25:04a furious roar came
25:06from the other end.
25:07My mind was
25:08bankrupt by a major
25:09family.
25:10They said it's because
25:11you and Valeria
25:12offended someone you
25:13shouldn't have.
25:14What the hell did
25:15you do?
25:17The hand holding the
25:18phone began to
25:19tremble.
25:20How is that
25:21possible?
25:23How could this
25:24happen?
25:27Just then, Ms.
25:28Graco burst out of
25:29the school gates.
25:30Even faced with that
25:31show of power, she
25:33still tried to cover for
25:34her meal ticket.
25:36Sir, Bianca has
25:37repeatedly refused to
25:39mend her ways.
25:40Ms. Greco, last
25:41year you accepted
25:42$200,000 in sponsorship
25:44funds from the
25:45Rossi family.
25:46In exchange, you
25:47helped Valeria alter
25:48her final exam scores
25:50and buried a
25:50bullying incident.
25:51Would you like me to
25:52pull up the transfer
25:53records and play the
25:54recordings right now?
25:55Mrs. Greco's face
25:57turned ashen in an
25:58instant.
25:59How do you know
26:00that?
26:00Who are you?
26:01Kervin let out a
26:02cold laugh.
26:04Who we are, you're
26:05not worthy of
26:06knowing.
26:07From the moment you
26:08dared to hurt
26:08Bianca, everything
26:10you have is over.
26:13Greco couldn't
26:14believe what she was
26:14hearing.
26:15She turned to
26:15Mrs. Rossi with a
26:16desperate look for
26:17help.
26:18Mrs. Rossi, help
26:19me!
26:19If these things get
26:20exposed, I'll lose
26:21my job!
26:22Help you!
26:23With what?
26:24The Rossi family is
26:25bankrupt!
26:26What?
26:28Valeria's eyes widened
26:29in disbelief.
26:32Mom, what are you
26:33saying?
26:34You're telling me our
26:35family is bankrupt?
26:36Have you lost your
26:37mind?
26:40Valeria, it was your
26:41father himself who
26:43called.
26:44Our family is no
26:45longer wealthy.
26:47This statement
26:48immediately set off an
26:50uproar around them.
26:51First was Greco, whose
26:53face turned pale.
26:55Once the Rossi family
26:56went bankrupt, she
26:57would have no
26:58protection left.
26:59The dirty things she'd
27:00done at school were
27:01enough to send her to
27:02prison.
27:03Miss Greco's legs gave
27:04out, and she collapsed
27:06to the ground in a
27:07heap.
27:07The classmates who used
27:09Flatter Valeria all
27:10changed their
27:10expressions.
27:48did you hear that?
27:49Valia's family is bankrupt, she's no longer a rich girl
27:53This woman always said poor people don't deserve to breathe, Nan M
27:56Now look, she a poor person too, Ann N
28:00I bet she can't even afford tuition anymore
28:03She'll probably have to drop out
28:05Valeria broke down
28:07No, that's not true, I'm not poor
28:10Our family hasn't gone bankrupt, Nan
28:13She grabbed Mrs. Rosie's hand
28:16Mom, it must be a scam call
28:18Let's go back and ask dad in person
28:21Even if the sun rises from the west, our family couldn't possibly be bankrupt
28:25But as Valeria tried to pull her mother toward their luxury car
28:29Two uniformed officers blocked their way
28:32Excuse me, ladies
28:33Your family is under investigation for massive debt
28:36This vehicle has been seized
28:39In that moment, Valeria's expression turned dark
28:42She and Mrs. Rosie turned to look at me and my brothers beside me
28:46Taking in their military uniforms, their suits, their tanks, their helicopters
28:51And then it finally hit them
28:53They had offended the gods who practically ruled this country
28:59Before Valeria could say anything else
29:01She and Mrs. Rossi were taken away by the police for questioning
29:05Due to their involvement in financial crimes
29:08As for Greco
29:09The school immediately slapped a termination notice in her face
29:13And she was also taken away by the police for corruption
29:16Sheltered behind Enzoan
29:18I was shielded from all prying eyes
29:20Without saying another word
29:22My brothers closed in around me
29:24And escorted me through the deathly silent crowd
29:27I was bundled into the lead Rolls Royce
29:29The car pulled away smoothly
29:31I heard Enzo answer a call
29:33His tone ice cold
29:34Within two hours I want the Rossini name erased from this city
29:38And Greco
29:38Throw the book at her
29:40Even after she gets out
29:42I'll have her on the national blacklist
29:44No one in the industry will ever touch her again
29:46I listened to him pull strings like gods
29:49Flipping the world upside down with just a few words
29:52And finally
29:53I couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice
29:56Enzo, what exactly do you do?
30:01Enzo didn't answer me directly
30:03Instead, he took me to the family estate
30:06Where my brothers were already waiting inside
30:09Standing before me
30:10Enzo pointed at Luca and said
30:12Bianca
30:13Luca is a special advisory consultant
30:16To the Supreme Court
30:17And the head of the Criminal Law Reformation Committee
30:21Stella is the commander
30:23Of the Eastern Military Region
30:25And is currently leading the development
30:27Of nuclear submarines
30:29Kaivin controls the capital chain
30:31Of the five major international banks
30:34And the largest underground bank in the country
30:36One by one
30:37Enzo went on to introduce
30:39Every single one of my 109 brothers
30:41Some worked in financial associations
30:43Some in the International Aviation Bureau
30:46Some in the police department
30:48Finally, he looked at me
30:50His tone steady and firm
30:52Bianca, we own this country
30:55Every industry, every string
30:57No one touches you
30:58No one touches us
31:02My brain had turned into complete mush
31:05Wait, so that means
31:07My brothers are safe?
31:09You won't go to jail?
31:10At that, Enzo laughed
31:12And the rest of my brothers
31:13And the rest of my brothers joined in
31:15Prison
31:15They ran the prisons
31:19Hell, they ran the whole damn country
31:23Just then, Luca stepped forward
31:25And placed a thick stack of documents on my lap
31:28Bianca, this is a list of all the assets we've bought for you
31:31Ever since you were born
31:33Every single one of us has put away money for you
31:35On each of your birthdays
31:38Right now, your personal trust fund
31:40Has about this much in it
31:42With trembling hands, I flipped open the first page
31:45And stared at the impollably long string of zeros
31:48My hands shook so badly
31:50That I nearly dropped the file on the floor
31:53Enzo took the papers away
31:54And softly stroked my head
31:56We originally planned to tell you all of this
31:59After you finished your SAT
32:01And turned 18 years old
32:03But now that someone has bullied you
32:05Right under our noses
32:06We can't keep hiding it from you any longer
32:09Bianca
32:10From this day forward
32:12You don't have to put up with anything
32:14Or anyone ever again
32:16Even if the sky falls
32:18You have 109 brothers to hold it up for you
32:23From that day on
32:24I lived a double life
32:26During the day
32:28I was just an ordinary high school student
32:30Buried in books and cramming for the SAT
32:34At night, different brothers took turns teaching me combat
32:38Finance, law, Inco analysis, and more
32:42I discovered that I actually enjoyed all of it
32:45On the day of the SAT
32:46My brothers showed up
32:48A motorcade, a chaotic mix of Rolls Royces, military Jeeps, and limited edition supercars
32:54Stretched from our front door all the way to the exam venue
32:57Reporters who had caught wind of the spectacle swarmed over
33:01Aiming their cameras and microphones at Enzo
33:05We're just an ordinary family cheering on our younger sister
33:08The reporters looked at the tank
33:10Its cannon polished to a gleaming shine
33:13And fell into stunned silence
33:16The exam hall was so quiet
33:18That I could hear my own heartbeat
33:23My pen flew across the page
33:25As I answered question after question
33:28There's one thing I've always believed deep down
33:31My future's gonna be bright
33:33Because I've got 109 brothers
33:36Who've got my back
33:37I've got my back
33:40I've got my back
33:41And one thing I've already
