A man with black hair, wearing a red robe and a red hat, was screaming his lungs out.
"Shit! Why did it end like this? Please don't die on me! Please, Fanto, don't die! We still have to take our revenge on…"
Near him stood three other men.
The first man was very tall and robust. Tears were streaming down his face as he thought about his dying friend. The second man, with black hair and a completely black robe, was also crying.
But the last man—the skinniest of them all—was different. He stood silently, watching. There was not a single hint of sadness on his face. Instead, his expression showed only one thing: revenge.
But this story began long before that moment.
Everything started with Fanto, who had been given a mission by Girolamo Pizzo: to create the Pizzo Clan and place trusted people in charge of it.
Fanto did an excellent job building the clan. First, he chose three people he trusted to lead it:Samus Kongs,Victor Kongs,Mohamed Avdol
Mohamed was a young man of short stature who wore a red robe and a red hat. He was the vice-captain of the Pizzo Clan and the person Fanto trusted the most.
One day, inside the quiet headquarters of the clan, Fanto was walking toward Mohamed. Mohamed noticed him, turned around, and spoke.
"Fanto, we need to recruit more trusted people into the clan. The four of us can't manage everything alone."
Fanto thought about it but tried to convince Mohamed otherwise.
"Mohamed, I think the people we already have are enough to manage the clan."
Mohamed shook his head.
"Think about the difficulty we had the last time we defended the clan from the PassaMonte Gang. The strength of the four of us is not enough."
Fanto replied firmly.
"I can't allow random people into the clan. Girolamo Pizzo told me to choose only good and trustworthy people."
Mohamed answered,
"If we recruit only trusted people, it will take too much time. The Pizzo Clan will be defeated by the PassaMonte Clan before we grow stronger."
But Fanto insisted that the clan did not need more people unless they were truly trustworthy.
The discussion ended there.
Some time later, Fanto returned to his birthplace to inherit his father's sword.
When he took the blade into his hands, a mysterious system message appeared before him.
[Old Blood]
"A katana that kills primarily with strength, dexterity, and arcane power. It is a weapon suited for mid-range combat and is capable of inflicting both slash and piercing attacks."
Weapon Effect
[Hemorrhage]The weapon causes exceptionally high blood loss.
At the same time, in the territory of the Pizzo Clan…
Samus Kongs was patrolling the perimeter when he noticed several members of the PassaMonte Gang approaching.
As soon as he saw them, he ran back to warn Mohamed and his brother Victor.
"We are under attack, Mohamed! Victor!"
Soon after, the PassaMonte fighters reached the Pizzo Clan territory.
A fierce battle began.
Samus, Victor, and Mohamed fought bravely, but they were overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers. The PassaMonte Gang defeated them easily and began destroying the clan's territory.
Buildings were burned. Supplies were stolen. The clan was humiliated.
After finishing their destruction, the PassaMonte Gang left.
Some time later, Fanto returned from his hometown.
When he saw the ruined territory of the Pizzo Clan, his heart dropped.
He ran forward desperately, searching for his comrades.
At last, he found them.
Samus, Victor, and Mohamed were alive—but unconscious.
Relief washed over him, but it was quickly replaced by a terrible realization.
The clan needed more people.
Because the next time the PassaMonte Clan attacked…
…it would not end with humiliation.
It would end with the complete destruction of the Pizzo Clan.
