CHAPTER 149All five heads of the five major families of the Alberto Mafia Clan were present in the Alberto family mansion.The Alberto family represented by Maria, the Rafael family, represented by Dominguez, Rodriguez's first son, the Chavez family, Gustavo's family, represented by Emilio, Gustavo's younger brother, the Fernandez family represented by Alonso Fernandez, their leader and the Agulilar family by Leonardo Agulilar, their leader.The tension in the room was high, off the roofs even, with everyone suspecting of each other and the same time, agitated.“What are you looking at?” Emilio Chavez, Gustavo's younger brother suddenly yelled at Dominguez for merely taking a slight peek at him.Emilio was still in mourning, his entire family was. Dante's story was not something they were ever going to buy and it was only out of respect for Don Alberto's memory that they had not started an all out war between them and the Rafael's.“I share your grief Emilio but you will not disrespec
CHAPTER 150“Allow me to answer that question,” Emilio answered with a smug look on his face. “This is Alejandro Alphonso Alberto, the next Don of the Alberto Mafia clan.”After the incident with Rodriguez yesterday, Bethany took Jack to meet with the Chavez family after shs learnt what Maria and Rodriguez had done to Gustavo.In fact, they were all together and Emilio was just being filled in on all of Maria and Rodriguez's crimes from Rodriguez's lips himself when he recieved the invitation to come for a emergency family meeting.Bethany was already slowly slicing off Rodriguez's little Weener when she suddenly paused and remembered that for Jack not to have to keep dealing with mess from these people, every family head would have to be present and convinced that be was not interested and Jack would have to appoint a new leader in his stead that they would all accept for peace to reign, so she stopped and had Rodriguez beaten and chained instead.While the other Dons took in the figu
CHAPTER 151“I'm not having this discussion again. I didn't even know this man. He raped my mother to conceive me and now I'm just supposed to what?” Jack said coldly to Emilio and Leonardo.It had been just a day after Maria's disappearing act and Jack was ready to return back to Coral city just in time for his new company's launch.“Try and understand our viewpoint. Your father was not a saint. None of us are but what is right is right. You have to take over the leadership position or the clan will fall.” Emilio countered calmly. It was now his duty to show Jack the ropes to being the leader of the biggest Mafia clan in the country and he did not want to be seen as a failure.Despite Jack's stubbornness and good reason not to accept the position, Emilio persisted.Jack frowned. “Look here old man. I owe you nothing. If your clan falls then so be it,” Jack replied with ice in his words, his eyes shooting red straight at Emilio.The only reason he got involved with this whole mess in
CHAPTER 152****A FEW HOURS AGO****Michelle stood in the living room observing as her men entered the island and expertly used the security information she had given them to infiltrate Bolton Tech Headquarters.She was watching them from a monitor as her men had body cams on. According to her, she wanted to watch the downfall of the Bolton's from the best seats in the house.“We're in,” The leader of Michelle's men said, tapping in a security code and opening up the gates to headquarters.“Heh! Who's there?” A security guard of Bolton Tech yelled when he heard the mechanical whirring of the door.The lights immediately went off and two muffled shots hit him in the chest before his eyes could even adjust to the darkness.“Their CCTVs are scrambled but we only have a short window before they find out and fix it. So we need to be in and out of here in fifteen minutes,” The leader said.“Team A, head inside the headquarters, Kill anyone in sight, find the server room and burn it down. Tea
CHAPTER 153Jack's eyes widened as he stared at his bots, all in their packs and complete. But the fire? He couldn't understand anything that was going on, none of it made sense to him. “How?” He asked in a bewildered tone, turning his surprised gaze on his mother who had a smug look on her face.“Most importantly, who tried to destroy them?” Eagle asked with a deep frown on his face.“Not now. After we cut your cake,” Alice replied.The five of them were now sitting at a table, sharing Jack's cake and wine when Alice finally decided to speak.“It was your father's ex-girlfriend, Michelle Carter,” Alice stated coldly. She was well aware of the history between Michelle and her husband but it had never been a cause for alarm until now.“Those damn Carters,” Mildred cursed. “You'd think they've learnt their lesson after the last time.”“Apparently not,” Alicia said spitefully.Jack said nothing but he knew exactly what he had to do. Get rid of the Carters once and for all and all he need
CHAPTER 154Jack stepped inside his apartment, still feeling that strange presence behind him. He did not think much about it anymore, thinking he was just feeling nervous about the launch and was imagining things.He quickly stripped himself off his clothes and got into the shower to freshen up. Stepping out of the shower with only his towel still clad around his waist, his phone rang. It was a call from Eagle.“Boss, it's done,” Eagle said.“How many?” Jack asked.“All of them,” Eagle replied.“Call our financial Brokers. Tank it all and then blow up the buildings but make sure to evacuate the premises first. No loss of lives, got it?” “Affirmative Boss,” Eagle replied, ending the call.Jack did not share his parents sentiments on playing the long game to make Michelle pay for what she had done.After learning how Bethany was able to get Micheal to back out from the Island and leave it to him, Jack did his due research on every of their businesses and ways that he could bring them d
CHAPTER 155SMASH!In the Posh Mansion of Michelle Carter, an expensive porcelain vase hit a wall, shattering on impact.“Incompetent! All of you!” Michelle yelled at her staff. “You are all worthless!”She had sat down a few hours ago with her legs crossed in front of the television with a smug look on her face waiting for the news of Jack's company's launch being postponed but the opposite happened.She watched with a broken heart and a pained expression as the launch successfully took place. At first she thought Jack and his company were just being smart, trying to mitigate the damage she had caused them by going on with the launch without having a product to sell, but after the launch, she heard and saw how orders were flying in, left and right.In the four hours that the company had launched its humanoid AI assist, over ten million orders had come in and to make things worse and more believable to Michelle, people were already receiving their deliveries with videos of the bots ci
Chapter 156Jack did not know what to do. He had been given instructions to find the Escara Coven if he wanted to see Alicia alive again but whoever left him that message, forgot to leave a map for him to find them.If his new project was going to continue being a huge success, the brain behind it needed to be safe and sound but more than the success of his project, what disturbed Jack was her true welfare, he didn't want her hurt in any way.“Could this be Maria?” Bethany asked with a deep frown.She had just been released from the hospital, her wounds were healing fast but she was still weak and could not get involved in much.Despite her absence when Jack faced Maria and she vanished into thin air, Jack had informed her of what went down that day.“It could be her, it's the only thing that makes sense but how do I find them?” They could have at least left a cue,” Jack complained bitterly.“Once we get her back, all of you, including mom and dad, you're all going to a secure location
