"Please... contact the high-level members of the family and have them come over for a meeting." Oboro smiled at the old man.
"Yes!"
David put down the tea, bowed to the two of them, and turned to leave.
"He seems to trust you a lot..."
Watching the butler's back, Oboro said.
"He watched my brother and I grow up... To me, he's no different from my father."
Lily responded, and asked back, "You're cleaning up the high-level members of the family, are you worried that they'll leak your affairs?"
"Not only that... I've learned a little about your family's situation. Once Fiers Garu dies, the people under him will definitely be restless, and some may even have thoughts of rebelling and usurping the throne... Isn't this trend very popular in your Mafia... Besides inheritance between relatives, there are also many who rely on internal fighting to climb up... Can you ensure that each of them is safe?"
As Oboro spoke, he walked away, and waved his hand: "Since you can't see, don't look, listen to music, it's getting late... Good night."
"Good night."
...
On the other side, the butler David's efficiency was really fast. In just a few hours, the managers of the Fiers Family's industries rushed to the group headquarters.
Many luxury cars were parked at the entrance of the building, and people were bustling, a group of Mafia members were constantly welcoming and supporting the leaders to the conference room.
"David... It's so late, why did you call us all here, what happened?!"
"Is there any news from the boss yet?"
"Old man... I heard... Boss Garu..."
In the brightly lit room, a dozen people were sitting around a long table, discussing and speculating about the family head's intentions and some rumors they had heard. This time, the butler had called them over in the name of the family head.
Therefore, they thought Fiers Garu had returned.
However, there had been some rumors spreading in the past two days... Because, not only could they not contact Fiers Garu, but even Kuga, Sam, and others were nowhere to be found. They knew that the boss had gone to Tanton to deal with someone... The other party was relatively tricky.
After waiting for a long time, when the door was pushed open and they saw the butler David appear, this group of people immediately scrambled to ask.
There was only the butler, and no familiar figures like Fiers Garu!
"Everyone, please be quiet."
David walked to the head seat, raised his hand to appease everyone's emotions: "This meeting was indeed the family head's intention... But... it's the new family head."
"New?"
The high-level members looked at each other, confused.
When did they change to a new boss, how come they didn't know?
At this time, a series of footsteps came from the door.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a strange man walking in.
"Who is he?"
Someone said in a deep voice.
"Let me introduce everyone, this is Fiers Mabo, a distant relative of the old family head, and also the new family head... Mr. Oboro. As the only direct bloodline of the Fiers Family now, Miss Lily made the decision a few hours ago." David explained.
"What a joke!"
A fat man with a big head immediately slammed the table and stood up, with an angry face: "How can the decision of the family head be made so casually... Without notifying us!"
This person's small eyes were turning quickly.
The people present weren't fools, David's words had already revealed a message, that was... Fiers Garu was dead!
The news was indeed true!
Although they were very surprised, what they were more concerned about now... was the selection of the family head.
This meant... they all had a chance!
"That's right!"
Some high-level members echoed with dissatisfaction.
"Are you questioning Miss's decision?"
David said expressionlessly, "With Young Master Garu's passing, Miss has absolute say in the family!"
"What does she, a woman, know? Is she really going to entrust the fate of the entire Fiers Family to a blind woman... And find an outsider to be the boss!" The fat man sneered. In the past, he wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to the young lady, but now...
The butler's expression turned cold.
"Okay okay okay, everyone be quiet."
Oboro, who hadn't spoken all along, had already stood next to the butler. He suddenly clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "Everyone, please be calm!"
After speaking, looking at the faces full of hostility on the table, he said lightly, "This time I called you over... It's not to let you express your opinions, nor is it to solicit your opinions, it's just to simply notify you all, and by the way... to see you off."
See them off?
Then, before they had time to savor Oboro's words, a swift black shadow had already jumped onto the table, like a ghost, soaring up from the middle of the high-level members sitting in two rows. The butler only heard a series of crisp sounds. When he came back to his senses, Oboro had already stood back at the opposite side of the table.
As for... more than a dozen family high-level members, without exception, their necks were all twisted 180 degrees, their heads pulled to the back, and they had lost their breath.
The expressions at the moment before their death were still frozen on their faces.
"Replace their positions with people from below, it's best to find the kind who want to get ahead, have ambition, and are also capable... You definitely know better than me, I'll leave it to you!"
Oboro acted as if he had done something insignificant, yawned, and left directly: "I'm going to sleep!"
"Yes."
David came to his senses, and bowed to Oboro to receive his orders.
On the top floor, Fiers Lily listened to Oboro's suggestion, and had the maid play music in the room.
The music was soothing and relaxing... But it had a faint sadness.
Reflecting her current mood... It was unknown whether she was mourning her brother Fiers Garu, or commemorating the group of family managers who had died violently downstairs.
...
The butler David's talent was still very outstanding, after all, he was someone who had followed the old family head... In just a few days, he had stabilized the family's situation, and the new high-level members had also begun to work.
The change of family head and Fiers Garu's death couldn't be concealed.
Oboro simply released the news.
He wanted to announce it publicly... and also blame Garu's death on the Kenny Family.
The feud between the Fiers Family and the Kenny Family wasn't a matter of a day or two. Lily's injuries and her father's death were all caused by the Kenny Family... Therefore, no one would suspect that the Kenny Family had killed Garu again.
This was simply too normal in the Mafia. The Kenny Family's territory was adjacent to the Fiers Family, and everyone in the underworld knew that the Kenny Family had long coveted the casino industry, and was very envious.
And as the Fiers Family experienced turmoil, the first people who couldn't sit still would definitely be the 'neighbors' who were close to the water and could get the moon first.
After the matter spread, in less than a day, the entire underworld force in the territory had heard...
"Have you found out?"
In an office, the Kenny Family's boss Gole was holding an expensive breed of cat in his arms, and asked the subordinate who knocked on the door and entered.
"We found out... Fiers Garu and the bodyguards around him are all dead... And they also lost a lot of manpower, and the high-level members have all been replaced. That new family head Oboro, is said to be a distant relative of that old ghost Mabo... But there should be clues, the high-level members of the Fiers Family were all removed overnight, it's probably not simple for an outsider to become the family head without any warning."
The subordinate analyzed.
"As for the murderer who killed Fiers Garu... There are no clues at present. Their family's internal control of this is very good, and not many people know the truth... But they have been leaking the news that we killed Garu..."
"Hmph, the one with the real brains in the Fiers Family is that woman... Garu was just rushing forward with brute force and ruthlessness. In addition, the bodyguards around him were also very powerful... Casinos are places where you make big money... With money, the people he can hire will naturally be of a high level... But now... it's a rare opportunity."
"Interesting... If it were you, would you protect the murderer or the enemy?"
The subordinate shook his head.
Kenny Gole stroked the cat's back, "However... Isn't announcing the new family head so quickly exposing a weakness? Or do they think... the Ten Dons will stand up for them? I'm afraid... Even if you talk about the Fiers Family, the Ten Dons may not even remember..."
"Does the boss think there's a trick to this?"
The subordinate heard the meaning.
"The Fiers Family has been making frequent moves in the past few days, and most of their manpower has been placed in the casinos under their command to guard them, it's probably to guard against us... There aren't many left at the group headquarters..."
"There aren't many people at the group headquarters?"
Gole's eyelids jumped, and the pet cat that he had liked just a second ago was suddenly grabbed by the neck and thrown out violently.
The cat let out a scream.
"In this way, Fiers Lily and that butler named David may have secretly slipped away and transferred their residence... Even if the people ran away, the Fiers Family's main industries are still there... They're just guarding against us finding them! That building is the symbol of the Fiers Family... To not even want the base camp, they're really at the end of their rope, and in extreme embarrassment..."
"That new family head is just a scapegoat... Used to take the blame, hehe! No wonder..."
Gole crossed his fingers, and pondered.
"Their family has a large cash flow relying on the casino, we can't delay... Otherwise, they can quickly use money to replenish manpower and boost morale. Even if we can't completely annex them, occupying the Fiers Family's group headquarters, plus some casinos, and gnawing off a piece of fat, seems pretty good..."
No matter what tricks they were playing, it was worth a try!
"Go call people!"
"And also notify the head of Kok City, and tell them that the Mafia is handling business tonight!"
"Understood!"
The subordinate nodded, and hurried to do it.
Tonight, Kok City was unusually quiet.
Standing on the rooftop of the Fiers Group headquarters building, Oboro looked at the dark streets and buildings below, and the cold wind was blowing.
The calm before the storm!
The Kenny Family had taken action... Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single person in sight nearby.
The area had been blocked off.
It was impossible not to sigh at the Mafia's influence in a normal society... With just one sentence, even the city's civil servants didn't dare to disobey.
