NEMESIS

unexpected order

The Rogue Mafia and Neo Cosa Nostra are always on the meeting agenda.

“Then what is your plan, Consigliere?”

She pressed her mouth tightly before she gave them an answer and he swore he’d never seen her this fierce as that night. “Kill them all, they are pests — if The Orphic agrees to make peace with them, we can't face the Italian mafia's wrath who were friends with us from the start.”

Ah, it was reasonable because the Italian Mafia is the eternal enemy of the Rogue Mafia. It is because their members were massacred in ways no words can describe and if there was one word that could describe it, it would be sadistic horror.

It was their worst day.

“They're not human, their brains have been contaminated with something terrible and made them act like monsters — can you guarantee the safety of every member of The Orphic?”

His head tilted, with a cynical smile that was then printed on his lips when he heard the woman who led this meeting say the word monster casually, just like that. Though she is worse than a monster, oh Giuliana, you are the worst human alive on this earth.

Yes, no one can guarantee the safety of all of them even if they make peace — he, himself, had seen how cruel they were, they would care for no one but themselves. Yes, their togetherness is indeed fairly solid, but inside they are filled with sadism.

But, of course, it can be handled by him and his family.

“I can.” He said confidently, staring straight at her with an arrogant smile on his lips “Our family can train them into sadistic dogs. It would be very beneficial to all of us if we had them as our swords, as our loyal dogs who would do the dirty work, then we would all have to get our hands dirty to do disgusting things.”

Whispers began to be heard, making unnatural noises and, meanwhile, the four leaders seemed to be in deep thought — they seemed to be lost in their own thoughts. “But we have Giuliana as our sword.” Cameron replied coldly, strangely it’s like he hated her “what's the point of her if you replace Giuliana with them?”

“We need a sword, but she is just a person.”

She won’t be that perfect for The Orphic, she is just a mere human who can’t do anything but look at her right—hand to do everything in her place. No one really knows about this except him and Tristan, hence he will expose all that is now hidden by her.

“I'm trying to be fair, since there are two different voices, so I think this time we should go along with Theodore’s advice — Giuliana, it's not like I don't believe in you.” Logan has decided, and everyone knows perfectly, that they should obey. “We,'ve always followed your plans and luckily it always worked, which I'm proud of but this time we will follow his advice.”

A triumphant smile formed on his lips as he looked at the forced nod of Giuliana — she looked very distressed by this, especially after so many members of The Orphic agreed with him. “But in order to smooth things over, you must involve Giuliana with everything about these matters without exception.”

Oh, that was really great.

They will work together from now on.

"I hope the two of you can work well together and put your bad relationship aside - you may come from different families, but in The Orphic, you're both the same." Dylan warned them, "Especially you, Miss Consigliere. Don't kill Theodore now."

Yeah, they must work well together, but the thought of her wanting to kill him - Is Giuliana that angry with him?

Yes, it's possible he's still mad at him for the sheer amount of property that was damaged in just two weeks - destroying it doesn't take long, but rebuilding takes a long time. And oh, especially the grapes that are ready to harvest. What a pity, poor Giuliana.

Her eyes were as sharp as he could remember, "I will not, Sir."

"Then that is good to hear and don't disappoint us, Giuliana."

That was the last he heard before then Giuliana left with Sebastian, who faithfully followed her wherever she went, such a loyal dog.

Meanwhile, he was still flanked by Elias and Tristan, who were now wearing sour and gloomy faces - looking completely disliking that he would be working with Giuliana this time.

"If you're working with her, shouldn't you meet her to talk about this?" Elias asked and Tristan nodded in return as he added. "Yeah, that's how it should be. But why did she just walk away without saying a word to you?"

It looks like they are deaf. The proof is that they didn't hear Dylan warning her not to kill him while on this mission and that means Giuliana is still angry with him - If he greeted her now, perhaps what followed was a heated argument that ended with their lives in danger.

He couldn't even imagine it, it was so terrible.

"Maybe some other time," he replied in a low voice, "she is busy and has a lot to do now."

They both raised their eyebrows and that's when he realized he'd said the wrong thing, making him want to smack himself in the mouth. "Oh, since when did you find out about her schedule?"

"No, no. That is not what I truly meant!"

But unfortunately, neither of his comrades believed him and kept whining to come to Giuliana with an excuse to talk about their new mission - they were far too excited to be working directly under the Consigliere, even though they hated her so much that it made them want to strangle her to death.
