Colombia, Bogota.The secret branch of the mafia was established in a castle at the heart of Bogota. Today, the mafia had split into two factions, one demanding Saxon's resignation and the other wanting to protect Saxon.The debate raged on.Changing the leader of the mafia was a big deal. Saxon won it in a game of wits after the previous godfather's death.Typically, as long as the godfather didn't step down voluntarily, everyone in the mafia had to obey them for life.There were nine elders in the mafia, each with significant influence. They had the final say in selecting the godfather, and usually, once a godfather was chosen, they had to serve for life. This meeting to dethrone the godfather was only the second in the history of the mafia.Duncan and Herman were present, but Saxon was absent.Duncan and Herman weren't documented within the mafia; no one knew their origins. They were known for their ruthless and daring methods, with most people only hearing about them but not seein
The neutral elder led the way in voting to oust Saxon, casting his approval.One advantage of this meeting was that the votes were public – when you voted in favor, you placed your plastic plaque down for all to see.So the Mafia's ousting of Saxon in the election this time around was almost a unanimous decision. This was what they call the herd mentality.This time it was a deterrent effect.The three elders who had already agreed to oust Saxon also voted in favor, making it four approving votes. The remaining elders had no choice, so despite their reluctance, they also cast their votes in favor.With a unanimous vote, Saxon was ousted.This action signaled Saxon's exit from the stage as godfather of the Mafia.Duncan's gaze was indifferent as he scanned the room, casually stating, "The Mafia cannot go a day without a leader. Given the current tension, there must be someone to lead the Mafia to quell this turmoil. So, those who agree with me becoming the godfather, please vote."Ther
Camellia and Rose both fell silent for a moment, like a net of silence that enveloped them, locking them in their own little world.Camellia's mind was racing, she had made a decision, but the word "kill" lingered on her lips, swirling around but not spoken.In the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it.If she truly wanted to kill someone, there were ways to do it without direct confrontation. She could choose assassination; even Duncan and Herman, as sharp as they were, had moments of carelessness that could be exploited.But...She looked out at the night through the window. And Rose seemed lost in her own thoughts, her expression cool and detached but with a hint of hardness.The night grew darker.Moonlight spilled over the floor, casting a cold light.Rose suddenly looked up at Camellia and asked, "To kill or not to kill?"Even Rose, always so strong-willed, had moments of hesitation. Over their years of adventuring, Camellia had been the decision-maker, while Rose rarely con
As the news traveled overnight to W City, Mr. Marcus, Aaron, and Derrick found themselves caught off guard. Although Aaron and Derrick had never met Duncan and Herman and were unfamiliar with the brothers' tactics, they were equally surprised at how quickly they took control of the Mafia.There had been no warning signs. Saxon wielded absolute power within the Mafia, making it seemingly very difficult to topple him. How had the brothers managed it? Even if they succeeded in bringing down Saxon, there were plenty of others more qualified to lead as the new godfather.Mr. Marcus was feeling uneasy, even though with Saxon out of the picture, he wouldn't pose a threat anymore, but Duncan and Herman taking over the mafia put a lot of pressure on him."Maybe Rose and Camellia can handle them," Jessica suggested optimistically, believing in the power of love, especially from strong women like Camellia and Rose, who could easily win someone over."You never know who will come out on top," Mr.
"What news?" Mr. Marcus raised an eyebrow in confusion, feigning innocence.Miss Jessica smiled and handed him a copy of today's entertainment section from LN International Media respectfully, "Take a look, please.""You're really good at scaring people with your tone, Jessica." Mr. Marcus shook his head, eyes twitching, and reached out to take the newspaper.Upon reading it, Mr. Marcus slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Oh no..."Swiftly looking up at Jessica, he gave her a pitiful puppy-eyed look and tried to play the role of a henpecked husband, "Jessica, I was drunk.""Oh." Jessica simply acknowledged with a smile, staying silent and calmly observing him.Mr. Marcus's eyes turned deep with a hint of anger, "Aaron and Derrick are so inconsiderate, they didn't stop me. I'll have to settle the score with them later.""And you dare say that." Jessica finally lost her composure, "Isn't our marriage supposed to be private? Why is this all over town?" Making mistakes while drunk was sti
Henry hesitated, and then coldly smiled, "Yes, we found him, but he escaped. The cunning rabbit has multiple burrows. Wherever he goes, he always leaves a way out. The Mafia is in the hands of Duncan and Herman now, with just a few loyal subordinates protecting Saxon. There's no real threat there. I've set up a net, he won't escape for long. He's now a wanted man, everyone is after him, and no one will take him in; it's good for him to enjoy this time on the run."It wouldn't be interesting to catch him too soon. The goal was to let him enjoy this period of escape. From being a figure of power and influence, the godfather of the Mafia, to becoming a wanted criminal - the taste of it would be quite enjoyable. Henry intentionally wanted Saxon to have that experience."Distorted traits are indeed hereditary," Jessica chuckled. He inherited Mr. Marcus's twisted sense of humor; he enjoyed hearing the sounds of people being tormented before they died."Mommy, don't worry about me; once you
It was already past six when Jessica got home. Mr. Marcus had also come back after having dinner outside, and he was making soup for Jessica. Jessica was pregnant again, so she needed to eat something nutritious. He wanted to save this child even more than Jessica did."Aren't you getting me anything?" Mr. Marcus looked displeased when he saw that there was nothing for him, feeling it was unfair that after being out all day, none of the many items bought were for him."The gum is for both of us, consider it yours."Mr. Marcus, "......"After organizing the items for her, Mr. Marcus said, "Jessica, take it easy when you go shopping next time. You might not get tired after a day of shopping, but the baby will."Jessica was taken aback, suddenly saying, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten I was pregnant."Mr. Marcus was speechless again.What Jessica said was absolutely true. After all, the baby was less than a month old, so she had no feelings and didn't feel tired. She a
After holding him for a while, Jessica suddenly grinned mischievously and slowly ran her hands over his chest. Mr. Marcus stiffened all over, looking down at his chest. He was wearing a thin shirt, and it felt like there was no barrier as her hands touched his chest. Then, she gently pinched him on the nipple, causing Mr. Marcus to inhale sharply and heavily.Jessica chuckled softly, seeing no reaction from him. She controlled herself, feeling quite pleased, and slowly moved her hands down, pulling open his shirt and hooking her hands on his belt. Mr. Marcus's eyes darkened as he realized what she was about to do. His whole body boiled with heat, and his blood roared down, his hand gripping the spatula suddenly tightened, almost losing control.He was both in agony and enjoyment - this feeling of torture was not ordinary. He wanted to tell her to stop, but there was a voice in his head constantly urging him to continue, continue...Jessica's light kiss landed on his back, tormenting h
