Skaletta

Chapter 6

In The Memory of Vaan Skaletta

Nilandoria Hospital

After 2 Hours

Vito suddenly opens his eyes, lying on a stretcher inside a patient room. His arm was injected with healing serum from the stand, looking around while frowning, "Seriously?.... Hello? Why am I in the hospital?". There is no response, thunder rumbles outside causing the rainstorm. He thinks for a moment, "I hope Father didn't see me like this... He will be worried."

All of a sudden, the door opens and Wasa rushes in being paranoid, "Vito!", runs to him and pants. Vito jumps and gasps, "Mate, you got me killed mentally. What happened?"

Wasa tries to compose himself while breathing out, "Vito... Skaletta.....". Vito frowns slightly, "Yeah that's me." Wasa shakes his head, "I mean your father.... He is...", he again pants before speaking as his voice shakes, "He is killed", kneels being broken as he used to care about Vaan Skaletta from his childhood.

Vito was shocked by his words, eyeing him in disappointment before speaking up in anger, "Wasa... I never expected such a harsh joke."

Wasa shakes his head quickly, "I am not joking, mate.", he points his own eyes desperately, I told you exactly what I saw. Aisen shot him before my eyes and almost killed me. Fortunately, I managed to escape!"

Vito shakes his head, removes the injector from his arm and gets out of bed in anger, "That's not true... My father is not killable...", he falls unconscious due to rejecting the serum from the hospital since he wasn't ready to get up.

Wasa sighs before picking him up to the stretcher and then injecting him back, "I just wanted to let you know... I need to attend his funeral now... But I can't leave you like this... what if the enemy comes to kill you too?".

At the Xyn Graveyard 

The agents, henchmen, maid and every member of Skaletta were gathered to attend Vaan's funeral. Klethi walks injured, sobbing for him as she speaks to herself, "You shouldn't have left us, boss. There must have been a way to save Vito...", she sniffles hard before she looks down at her palm, having 4 suicide pills, "I have always loved you, boss... I will come to join you soon after I kill that bloody bastard." 

Jean stands before the table and nods to everyone, "Today is our unfortunate day that our boss got murdered. He was one of the best bosses. Used to save a lot of us, and gave us life, purpose and honours. Not only that but he saved us from abuses, death and every aspect of danger... I personally..", he looks down, tries to contain his grief and clears his throat but fails to contain his broken voice, "I personally feel shame on not going with him to the hideout myself.

He commanded me not to go. And I listened to him which I shouldn't have... when I was a child, he saved me from being abused by my uncle who was trying to sell me into slavery.

He came and bought me a new life instead. Made me a logistic man of Skaletta. Now I, Jean Lerzen, promise Skaletta to kill Aisen to avenge my boss... Our boss!". Everyone nods and hails Skaletta.

Klethi's eyes are filled with the purpose of his voice and hails together with members, "Me too!" as everyone repeats after her. 

Jean nods and walks out of the main table before Borgis, the alpha of Skaletta comes to the stage, "It has been a year of being here, helping Vaan along. I never thought of him going to get killed. Such an unfortunate. Now, I am taking off my position as an Alpha", he takes off his badge of Alpha Skaletta and looks at everyone being shocked at his action, "I know I took a vow. And to be honest. 

I have nothing to hide. Skaletta's heir isn't ready to be the Boss, not even over 18. So therefore..."

Klethi points her finger at him, "What's the truth, Borgis?".

Borgis nods his head before speaking up coldly, "I worked for Aisen secretly to get Vaan killed.", he grins evil as everyone starts to hate him.

Klethi's jaws widened in anger as well as Jean's.

She stands up before yelling at him, "You bloody bastard!", she storms against him before Borgis laughs and raises his remote, "You move, and I will press this, the whole Skaletta fortune and manor will turn into dust.", he laughs hard before looking at every members anger, "Aww, so sweet of those. Now one thing to ask. You all will validate Aisen as the Skaletta Boss or else you-know-what!".

Jean angers more as he clenches his teeth and breathes hard but not being able to do anything since it's about the manor overall.

At the right corner of the graveyard, Aisen in his elegant suit smiles and nods to them, "Hi, my members. I love you all...", he gazes at Klethi, "especially you, dear... I thought Vaan killed you."She mutters in hatred against him, "I wish you died that time. What God made you like this? Crazy walnut?" Aisen whistles playfully, "I am your boss, everyone. You all shall be my submissive members, as I say you do. Or else." Borgis smiles with the remote.They start to make a line to sign the agreement to accept him as the new boss.

Aisen grins in excitement, "In the memory of Vaan Skaletta... His little boy couldn't take his emperor.", imitates a trumpet through his mouth while laughing.

Suddenly, Klethi rushes to push him against the table, brings out the knife and tries to stab his face but Borgis kicks her belly harder as some gangs grab her to beat her brutally, Klethi tries to cover herself while getting beaten up.

Aisen gasps out, "She got a daring ability, that's hot. How about I marry this lady?", Borgis winks, "That's the best idea, marrying a beautiful lady will increase your masculinity". Aisen grabs Klethi's cheeks harder as her cheeks get some marks of his nails and leans closer, "A hard kiss?". Klethi tries to kick him but his gang traps her limbs. Jean kicks his head before Borgis kicks Jean's groin harder and he falls being weak. Aisen feels pain in his head, "Oh my fish, it is painful. Kill this Jean!"

Borgis grabs Jean's head and puts a gun over his head, "Shall I?"

Aisen scoffs, "Go on!". Jean struggles a lot but Boris hits his head with the gun to make him unconscious before loading the gun. Aisen puts a knife on her tongue, "Become speechless for me, honey".

Gun shoots.
