Randy reached behind him to grab his gun, and he immediately turned around to point it at Dante, but Randy stopped as he saw that Dante's gun was already pointed at his head! Randy grit his teeth in anger, and Dante's eyes narrowed into a glare as he spoke in a commanding tone.
"You really want to test me, Randy? Cause I'll kill you without a second thought and throw your body into a fucking pit for the dogs. Drop that fucking gun before you piss me off!"
[Menace] has been activated!
Doon!
Randy's hand shook as he felt a feeling of terror pass through his heart! The look in Dante's eyes at that moment was one of absolute certainty, and Randy knew for a fact that Dante was not playing around! If Randy dared to raise his gun, then Dante was going to shoot him immediately! Randy grit his teeth, and he slowly dropped his gun and allowed it to fall to the ground! The crowd around them had grown already, but Dante didn't pay any attention to them as he spoke calmly.
"This is your mess, Randy, and I'm going to give you the chance to fix it yourself. Find out who is behind this and get that information to me before tonight. If the sun rises tomorrow and I don't have what I need in my hands, then I'll put an end to you and everything you hold dear. Do not fuck with me, Randy."
Randy growled as he tried to clean the blood running down his nose.
"You can't do this to me. You're a cleaner, not the boss! Only the boss can tell me what to do!"
Dante crouched down so he was looking directly at Randy! There was a calm anger simmering behind Dante's gaze, and even though Dante spoke in an even tone that showed no emotion, Randy could hear the rage behind every word!
"I don't care what you think, Randy. If you think you can disobey me, then I dare you to try. I am giving you one chance to fix your mistake. You will not be getting another one. Now get the fuck out of my sight."
Dante stood and stared down at Randy with intensity, and Randy took that as his dismissal as he slowly got to his feet and began to stumble away from the battlefield. There was still blood pouring out from Randy's nose, and when one of the men tried to come around to help him, Randy cursed at him and shoved him away angrily!
"Get off me, you fool! Fuck, you bastards think this is funny! Get the fuck out of here, all of you!"
Randy's anger scared the men all around him, and they all turned away and continued working on clearing out the street so that Randy wouldn't focus his anger on them! Randy got into his car and drove away, and Dante gestured for Philip to come closer when eh saw him stnading at hte side.
"Yes, boss. I just finished with the warehouse inventory. We lost about seventy percent of the cars, but the others were salvaged. We're sending them to the other warehouse now."
Philip spoke respectfully with his hands behind his back. Philip had watched everything that happened between Randy and Dante just now and Philip's respect for Dante had increased even more after what he saw. Philip knew that a situation like this was not something that Dante should have come to handle. This was a problem that the district boss should have seen coming and dealt with before it even became a problem in the first place! So the mere fact that attackers managed to destroy the warehouse and this entire situation was all because of Randy's negligence!
Dante spoke seriously while holstering his gun.
"Good job with the warehouse. I want a covert team following Randy from now on. Report his activities to me every hour, and if he meets with anyone, then call me immediately."
Philip's brows furrowed in confusion when he heard this. Philip wasn't confused because Dante's orders were complex, but instead it was because of the way Dante spoke. It was almost like…
"Are you suspecting Randy is behind this?"
Dante's eyes narrowed in the direction that Randy had gone, and he said,
"Just do what I say. I'll be waiting for your report."
Philip nodded his acceptance, and he quickly started to make a call to begin his mission. Philip didn't have any right to question Dante since Dante was higher than him in the hierarchy, but Philip believed that Dante wouldn't ask him to do something like this without a good reason, so Philip was going to take this mission very seriously.
Philip was actually right about Dante having a good reason for following Randy. Dante had tried his best not to let it show when he was talking to Randy, but the moment Dante saw the tab above Randy's head, he knew that Randy had been involved in this attack.
——
Name: Raenold Fort
Affiliations: Nil
Title(s): The Rat
General Skills: Weapons Proficiency, Espionage, Deception, Gambling
Loyalty Progression: 0%
——
Dante grit his teeth in anger as he looked through the tab. Dante didn't even care about the fact that Randy's loyalty progression was at 0%! Instead, what really pissed Dante off was the fact that Randy didn't have any loyalty to the Lucas Family! Hell, Randy didn't have any affiliations at all! Randy was such a fucking coward that he wasn't willing to throw his hat in with any one group, and his only true loyalty was to himself! Dante swore that he was going to find out exactly what Randy was planning, and once he figures out Randy's plan, Dante would put a bullet in the bastard's head!
Dante turned around and looked at the men clearing out the road for a moment before he clicked his tongue and got into his car. There were just far too many things happening at that moment, and Dante didn't like it! It was already bad enough that he had to deal with the fact that he was the new boss, but now he also had to find out which of the families was trying to attack them. Dante revved the car up and he pulled away from the street and began heading towards the mansion.
The trip back to the mansion was uneventful, and Dante's thoughts were only on who could be behind the attacks. The only name that continued standing out to Dante was Aliya, and Dante knew that there was no one else who would do something like this! If Aliya wasn't responsible for this attack, then it would be someone else from the Bellagrini family.
'But the Bellagrini head isn't in the country right now, and the rest of the family are in the first district. I would know if any of them came closer to try something like this. The only person in this part of the city is Aliya.'
Dante frowned as this thought crossed his mind, and he swerved to the left to enter the estate gate. There were already various cars parked in front of the mansion, and Dante saw that a long line of men were standing at attention while waiting for him. The moment Dante got out of the car, the men all gave him a proper salute and shouted!
"Welcome back, Boss!"
Dante was a little surprised by their action, but he didn't allow it to show on his face. He simply eyed them for a moment before he calmly walked through their middle towards the mansion. Risa was standing outside the mansion doors with her hands held respectfully in front of her, and once Dante was close enough, she spoke up.
"There are some executive staff waiting for you inside. They said it's about the Lucas Corp business."
Dante's frown deepened once he heard this, but he shook his head and continued walking. A butler opened the door for Dante, and Dante saw two people, a man and a woman, standing inside the mansion.
