“Oh, this is juicy. This information will shake the very foundation of the mafia families. Trust will be shattered, alliances broken… chaos will reign supreme,” said One Eye as he heard Cameron’s words, then suddenly remembered something, “Where did this information come from?”
“It came from me,” Vlad suddenly said before sitting up from his reclined position.
They turned and saw that Vlad, who was unconscious before, had woken up. “If you help me become the leader of the family, I promise to help bring down the other Families,” Vlad said in a calm tone.
Cameron was taken aback, never expecting Vladimir to admit this. He then looked at One Eye, “Boss, I’ve said everything, can you help me face Lucas now?” he said before turning to Lucas and showing a chilling smile, feeling like he had succeeded.
One Eye nodded before approaching Lucas. Seeing One Eye approach Lucas made Cameron happy, and he displayed a triumphant smile, ‘Lucas, Lucas, you’re finished. Your company will be passed on to me, and I even have a strong protector now.’
“Dispose of Cameron at the dump, I need to talk to Vlad about his offer of cooperation,” Lucas calmly ordered One Eye.
One Eye stopped in front of Lucas, “Big Boss, all this information is very valuable. I’m sure we will be successful if we incorporate it into our plan,” One Eye respectfully replied.
Cameron was stunned, his smile frozen on his face. “Bi-Big Boss?!” He was surprised before approaching One Eye.
“Bo-bo-boss, did I hear that correctly?” He asked hesitantly.
One Eye smiled, “You heard correctly, thanks for all the information you shared, you can leave now.”
Cameron paused for a moment, confirming the truth, “Did you deceive me?!” He shouted in disbelief, feeling scared.
One Eye grinned, “It’s your fault for not thinking.”
“Leave before I change my mind, I don’t want to see a traitor like you around,” Lucas said coldly.
Cameron was scared, wanting to retaliate and fight, but he knew he couldn’t do anything against Lucas and the people around him. Cameron clenched his fist.
“Hey, are you deaf? Are you not leaving or do you want me to beat you up before you go?” One Eye said with a grin as he turned his neck.
Cameron got scared before running out of the farmhouse and away, “I can’t believe you have these kinds of people, Damn Lucas! Tch!” Cameron continued running until he saw black vans, but they seemed to ignore him, clearly informed to let him go. He quickly got into his car, “Damn it! Where do I go now! I can’t even approach the Mercado family as many of their people have died. Damn it!”
Cameron’s car sped out as he thought about where to go. As he entered an intersection, a large truck collided with him, causing him to crash and die.
The truck driver got out before leaving the scene. All of this was planned by Lucas, and the driver of the truck was one of his men. The road was so clean, perfect for a crime that no one would know about.
….
..
Let’s go back to the farm house.
“You mentioned that the information given by Cameron came from you, what evidence do you have and why do you have such important information?” Lucas asked as he walked in front of Vlad, who was tied up.
“Promise me that you will help me become the leader of the Mercado Familia and I will help you bring down the other Families. In addition to what Cameron said, I know a lot more information,” Vlad said, seeking assurance.
Lucas nodded, curious as to why Vlad wanted to become the Don of the Mercado Familia, as if he had a deep reason for doing so. “Tell me why you want to be the Don of the Mercado Familia,” Lucas calmly asked.
Vlad stood up from his seat before taking a breath. “Do you not trust me? Can you release me for a moment?” he asked before pointing to the rope.
Lucas glanced at One Eye before nodding. One Eye untied Vlad before moving to the side. Vlad looked at One Eye before pretending to attack, causing One Eye to raise his guard, but he saw that Vlad was just stretching.
“I have long wanted to replace the Don because he is too obedient to the Sicilian Familia. I cannot tolerate their actions, especially their abuse of the weak. When the Genovese Familia was still in charge, Rome was peaceful, even if the Genovese Familia was intimidating, they were still more lenient compared to the Sicilian Familia.”
“Ever since the Genovese disappeared and the Sicilian Familia took over, the actions of our family’s Don suddenly changed, I couldn’t bear it so I secretly planted moles in other Families, even in the Sicilian Familia I have people, they are not my people, but my friends who are willing to change the chaotic events happening in Rome,” explained Vladimir.
Lucas saw that Vlad was sincere and that everything he said was true. “Do your other associates all have the same goals as you?” he inquired.
Vlad nodded, “We all want our family to live in peace and bring back harmony to Rome. We can no longer tolerate the oppressive rule of the Sicilians.”
“In that case, I am looking forward to forming an alliance with you,” Lucas said before extending his hand.
Vlad reached out his hand, and Lucas noticed the sheep dung on Vlad’s hand before retracting his own hand. Vlad also saw the dung on his hand and retracted it as well. “Happy Cooperation,” he simply said.
Vlad trusted Lucas completely after hearing from One Eye that he planned to bring down the other Families. Suddenly, he remembered something before looking at One Eye, “Are you also the reason for the downfall of Edwin Familia?” He asked curiously.
One Eye shook his head, “It’s not us, but other stronger subordinates of the Big Boss,” One Eye replied.
“Stronger?!” One Eye seemed surprised, “Does this mean there’s another group stronger under Lucas?” He asked.
One Eye nodded, “We’ve only trained under the Big Boss for a week; he brought us here to test our abilities.”
“A week?!” Vlad was shocked, pondering on how much more terrifying Lucas’ men mentioned by One Eye could be, If they were already intimidating after just a week of training. How much more fearsome would Lucas’ long-time companions be?
He shuddered and couldn’t help but swallow hard, “I’m glad I made the right decision, if not… I don’t know what kind of monster this man is harboring,” as he remembered their battle with Lucas earlier.
Chills ran down his spine as he imagined the terrifying force that Lucas commands behind him.
