"It seems... everything is about to end."
Oboro slowly stood up.
The stage... was about to be completed.
Even if there was no audience, there would be a magnificent performance...
It wouldn't be in vain for him to have wasted so much time.
Half a month later, Oboro returned to the Republic of Padokea from another continent.
Things... were smoother than expected.
He had met two of the Ten Dons... One of them was a woman, and the other was elderly.
The woman was the one among the Ten Dons who got along the worst with Brown... As for the other old guy, he was very greedy...
Once the Fiers Family's plan succeeded, and Oboro became one of them, he had to carve out a piece of territory from the controlled area separately, and also give up some industries.
Oboro naturally agreed... Because he didn't care about the power of the Mafia at all, he just wanted to use the identity and intelligence of the Ten Dons.
Furthermore, once he became one of the Ten Dons, as time passed, some of the things he decided now... might not count in the future.
With his strength, he could erase Brown now, and he could also change the pattern of the Ten Dons' members in the future...
It just depended on whether Oboro himself was interested...
And for these two Ten Dons, being able to win over another member in the small group of ten would undoubtedly give them greater power.
Of course, if the Fiers Family failed.
These two people would sever ties with him, and... help Brown to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Fiers Family.
Therefore... everything had to be established on the premise that the Fiers Family succeeded!
The two also revealed some useful information... After a while, the Ten Dons would be responsible for handling a major event, and Brown would leave the territory.
The two of them would do their best to help the Fiers Family delay the other party, and buy some time.
Fiers Family headquarters. Oboro arrived at the top floor.
Fiers Lily, who already knew the result, although she couldn't see, seemed to be able to sense his pleasant mood.
"Is it about to begin?"
The woman was still sitting in a wheelchair, 'looking out' at the city landscape as usual, her slender fingers touching the glass.
"Hmm... It can begin..."
Oboro responded with a smile.
...
There was trouble again!
The organizations in the territory, which had just calmed down for a few days, changed again, and it was a bit serious.
This time it had nothing to do with the Fiers Family, it was the Gabriel and Badim families... At first, it was just some friction between the small figures under the command of the two forces, and then it evolved into a conflict between the family cadres. The two family heads also stood up and said some polite words... But it didn't seem to work.
The situation gradually spiraled out of control... Rising to the level of a firefight.
Even the Ten Dons were alarmed, and personally intervened... Only after all the troublemaking leaders and related personnel were cleaned up did it finally subside.
But it didn't subside for long... and then two more major families had a fierce battle.
It also started from the contradictions between the small fries, and gradually turned into a major fight between the grassroots cadres.
For a time, the situation of the underworld forces in the territory was a bit chaotic, and it felt like everyone was on edge.
In Ten Don Brown's palace.
In the office, he was smoking a cigar, and his whole person was shrouded in smoke, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Of the eight people under his command, the Badim and Gabriel families had some old grudges in the early years, but it had been a long time since then.
After all, they were mixing in the same circle, and had climbed up little by little. It was impossible to say that there was no friction.
But the things of the past had long been turned over.
Letting the fire burn at the grassroots level meant that Badim and Gabriel were mismanaging things... which made Brown very dissatisfied.
However, the situation had been brought under control, which was also a good thing.
Then, the Stan and Jose families stirred up trouble again, making things a bit strange.
The industries of these two families highly overlapped, and there was competition. But with his beating them in the past, the two family heads were also minding their own business... One was grudges, and the other was industry, both were easy points to attack.
Brown narrowed his eyes.
He wasn't some brainless idiot to get to where he was today, and he was also well-versed in the ways of the Mafia. He instinctively smelled a 'conspiracy'!
Someone was making trouble!
To be able to do this kind of thing, you needed to have a certain understanding of the situation of the four families...
Moreover, you were also relatively familiar with the character and way of doing things, etc., of the four family heads. In other words, the mastermind behind the scenes was one of the eight people under his command!
Brown picked up a stack of documents. The white paper was printed with photos and backgrounds of the heads of the eight families, and the collected information, etc. Among them... was Oboro!
"Go check if the Fiers Family has had any recent movements... Investigate the cadres involved in the Jose and Stan families..." Brown didn't even raise his head, and ordered directly.
"Yes."
The subordinate standing in front of him nodded, and left the room.
The area under his jurisdiction had always been safe and sound. Ever since the Fiers Family had risen, something had been wrong...
Originally, seeing that Oboro had been very low-key during this time, Brown thought that even if the latter had ambition, he was a pragmatist, worthy of his attention.
The few people under him were also very honest... Not long after Oboro joined, there were signs of them biting each other.
All of this couldn't help but make Brown suspicious of Oboro. But suspicion was just suspicion... He needed evidence.
Although he was staring at Oboro's photo on the paper, Brown's heart told him that this young man was very likely the culprit...
But he couldn't directly order the removal of the Fiers Family. The Mafia had its own rules, and... it was also possible that it was a misjudgment.
Even if Brown felt that his intuition wouldn't be wrong...
The problem was... A small Fiers Family, an Oboro... Where did they get the confidence to dare to oppose him?
And what was the purpose?
Oboro should know his strength very well... Doing this was no different from hitting a stone with an egg, and was looking for death!
Oboro was able to lead the Fiers Family to stand out, which meant that his mind was good... This obvious result was something that even ordinary people could foresee.
"I was a bit careless... Even if it's not you, I'll find a way to make you disappear after the matter is resolved..." Brown lit Oboro's information paper with a cigar, and his tone was cold.
He had sensed his own thoughts.
Oboro was different from ordinary Mafia bosses. He was a Nen user, and his strength seemed to be not bad.
Even if Oboro was innocent... It was also a hidden danger to have such a person by his side, and over time, he would understand and become familiar with him more and more. Therefore, Brown still made a decision...
If Oboro cleared his name, the biggest benefit was that the Fiers Family would still be alive, but they would need to change a leader.
The Ten Dons personally issued the order, and the speed of the investigation was naturally amazing. The next day, a subordinate reported to Brown.
"They're all dead?"
"Yes... Their whereabouts are unknown, they should be dead, they were silenced."
"That means, someone is indeed making trouble... The other party's reaction is very fast."
Brown's voice was low.
"The Fiers Family has been very quiet recently... The family head Oboro has also been staying at home, and rarely shows his face. Some leaders of small families or groups wanted to build a relationship with him, but they also seemed to have been turned away... He doesn't seem to want to form gangs, and cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."
"He's doing it so cleanly..."
Brown leaned back in his chair, his eyes looking at the ceiling, and his brain was turning rapidly, "He's not really being honest and keeping to himself... He's very likely misleading me, confusing my vision, and making me let down my guard, and shift my attention..."
"When potential perpetrators are all excluded from the selectable range, then the last person left, even if it's impossible, even if there's only one percent suspicion... it must be him!"
"Rather kill the wrong person, than let him go."
Muttering to the end, Brown's eyes were cold.
He didn't need evidence anymore, he would find a reason to make him disappear...
This was his territory, and whoever he wanted to die couldn't live.
"Call the Fiers Family, and tell Oboro to come see me!"
"Yes."
After a moment, the subordinate returned.
"The Fiers Family replied that... Their boss is unwell, and is recuperating, and said... that he will need to wait for a while before he can recover..."
"..."
Brown was silent.
Was this... making it clear?
It was really him?!
"Should we take action now?"
At this time, a voice without emotional fluctuations came from the room.
It was Sato, who was hiding in the dark.
Without Brown pointing it out, he understood the boss's thoughts.
The Ten Don raised his hand, "Not in a hurry, he's going to die sooner or later... Wait for me to come back, I'm going to set off in a few days to handle something. Monitor the Fiers Family in all directions first. The news of my departure must not be revealed to anyone. Let others think that I'm always here, and they won't dare to act rashly... As for Oboro, regardless of whether it's him or not, I want to see him die with my own eyes, and hear... what he has to say..."
Sato didn't say anything.
"No one from the Fiers Family is allowed to leave the country."
"Understood!"
...
"Hurry up... The target has already taken off..."
The next day, Oboro received a message.
The other party just said a simple sentence and hung up.
