It was an overwhelming evening scene. Cars after cars kept on coming at the Mikasa residence. Liam and Archie were at the house entrance welcoming all the members of the council. The housemaids where too busy preparing foods in the kitchen, some housemaids and men in black were at the conference room, well-ready to serve.
It was an abrupt assembly but the mansion staffs where able to prepare everything. Their visitors aren't as simple as mafia members but high ranking officials and business men well-known in North State Oregon. Who would have thought that these people were a part of Rio's organization?
They needed the brotherhood's protection. Also, Demetrius is a dignified man. They may be a member of the mafia organization but the business isn't illegal at all as other's thought it was. It's not the typical mafia notion where gang members go out and fight with other gang members. It isn't like that. It is an organization, a government for business men and political leaders, even some people in the entertainment industry were members of the organization. Yes, Rio had modified the rules and laws of the Mafia organization in the North State.
Their main goal is unified-brotherhood. Their main concern is to boost and strengthen the North's economy by helping each other and not to compete against anyone within the organization. In exchange of member's loyalty, Rio promised them protection. Whoever has Rio's protection enjoys their freedom without the fear of losing their lives. They've already tried him many times and Rio never disappointed them.
No one even dares to touch the Mikasa family, not even one.
Demetrius have the best, probably the strongest men and allies in the North. He is basically considered the King of the North but he chooses to stay low profile for his family's best interest as well.
The King of the North. He never wanted that title. But he earned it. Not even the prime minister of the country could deny that title. He has the country's fear and respect. That way, he garnered a lot of enemies who wants him dead.
However, unknown to the world, Demetrius had been hiding a dark secret. He was one of the best and strongest underworld bounty hunter before, when he was still in his vigor. But no one knew that, not even one from the bounty hunters of the underworld. He was the most mysterious hunter of all time. no one ever saw him face to face but his work is very clean, it's very precise that everyone in the upper class wants him as their own man.
But one day, the underworld society were shaken when they heard the news about his resignation. Nobody knew the reason but since no one ever saw his face, they were not able to capture him. He became a rogue hunter that everyone wants to capture because of the high price for his head. It's worth billions!
Rumor said that there's someone who saw his face, who knew him personally. But that person died a long time ago—it was the founder of the bounty hunters! But was he the only one who knew it?
Aside from his past dark secret, He also has this one secret business line—producing the best, or should we say world class warriors, soldiers and even spies for the country's interest. The North State government took advantage of it so they hired spies and secret agents from Demetrius because of his credibility. His men are being paid fair and square so he allowed that secret transactions for over the years even if knowing that his men will be sent out abroad for missions.
Caleb and hunter were one of the best agents but they chose to rest after their life and death encounter in Iran before. Aisha was trained in the camp as well but Rio never allowed her to participate in any missions abroad. However, Aisha was a stubborn child! sometimes, if it deems good for her, she took missions secretly bringing Caleb along. But she rejects missions that involves killing.
Men in suits were gathered with their own personal guards. These men were provided and well-trained by Rio. But few of the council members prefers to keep their old-loyal guards but they asked Rio to trained them as well---and he did.
Personal guards were lined up behind their masters. Good thing that the conference room was big enough to host the 120 councils together with their bodyguards. But there are still rooms for new members in case someone wants to join their cause.
All the council members were present. As soon as Rio heard that it is a perfect attendance, he stood up, took his coat then head to the conference room. the door opened and a man who's stature looks like a powerful emperor came in. Everybody stood up to welcome him.
"Thank you for coming everyone, please be seated." He waved his hand then everyone is seated.
"I apologize for this rush assembly. But while I and Archedeus were away, we received some reports about some members spreading rumors about my daughter's death. Also, I heard that some of you have already chosen the next chief. Now that I am here, I want to hear all your queries." His voice was accusing enough to bring shiver to the member's spine.
"Please begin asking your questions then I shall answer it if it deems important." Rio continued.
Everyone looked at each other. Some elders are exchanging gazes but some were innocently listening to what was really happening. Rio was able to see their hesitation and it upset him. they clearly fear him that much.
"Anyone who wants to speak up?" Rio uttered firmly.
Some elders look at Liam's direction. It was clearly him who started the mini coup de tat. Liam's heart was beating fast. Why is he asking them all of a sudden? He thought his brother would announce what happen to Aisha, his fake niece death and proclaim him as the new heir but what exactly is happening? If this continues, they might suspect him of something. he needs a way out!
"Brother, what exactly is your point? We don't exactly understand." Liam asked innocently.
"Someone told me that you already have your new chief master. Care to tell me anything about these matter?" Rio uttered.
Everyone in the room was stunned, even Liam. Dang, his doomed!
"Bother, I do apologize but I think there was a misunderstanding. No one would ever dare to choose the next heir without your permission." Liam suddenly stood up to explain.
Some elders who are in opposition for Aisha as the next heir supported Liam's statement.
"Also, we heard about what happened to Aisha back at the central city. Brother, is it true that Aisha is dead?" he faked his worried gesture.
"How did you hear about that?" Rio creased a brow. Some of the council member was stunned and mumbles engulfe the entire room.
"It was all over the news!" Liam exclaimed. "She was shot while doing an interview!"
Demetrius suddenly sneered, "seems like almost all of you heard about the news. But I am wondering, how can you say it was Aisha when in fact, that woman was called Stacy. Stacy Williams. That was also all over the news, right?"
Demetrius threw a sarcastic but suspicious gaze. Liam gulped. Dang! Is he doomed already? Suddenly, the room was filled with silence that no one even dares to make a sound.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
