Chapter 247 - 247: Closing the Elithera case
It was as if a hammer had been dropped in the midst of the wary group. On hearing the sixth brother's confession, members of the family started to trade suspicious glances, and a few even moved away from those they thought could be part of the conspiracy.
As for Luna, she wasted no time in picking up her phone to do the necessary, all traitors were going to be taken down in one swoop.
"Lock down the compound." she said into the phone.
Even before she finished issuing the command, two people were already running for the elevators. This reaction resulted in whispers and murmurs that rippled through the room as the two betrayers were captured.
"So it's true, ha! no wonder you two were the loudest in rejecting my shaman's help." Luna lifted her right hand and laid out her black guns for all to see.
"Swift strike!" someone exclaimed.
Swift strike was the name Luna had personally given to both of the custom made guns. Anyone that was familiar with them also knew that when they appeared, someone was bound to die.
The appearance of the guns caused inevitable terror in the group. Some Elithera's audibly gasped while others shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the two obvious traitors were dragged away by two men, to be executed.
"You...you...." The fourth aunt stammered and shivered but she could not foster energy to rebuke Luna.
Luna remained unnervingly calm, masking her emotions while stroking her guns, at any moment someone would be struck swiftly.
"Shhhh." She hushed, the room quickly fell back in total silence.
The sixth brother continued narrating the story of how the Soprinos and O'Connors offered him a huge sum of money to betray the family.
"I signed an agreement with each of them which would see to it that the city is divided into three equal territories. If I became the boss, both the normal business and gang related boundaries would be respected, ending animosity and underground gang wars between us.
I also agreed to hand over forty percent of the family property to them. Tony Soprino also made it clear that he wants Luna to be his mistress, he will put a leash on her and treat her like a dog forever. It's her punishment for shooting and paralyzing his arm.
All the women in the family that refused to surrender would be sent to the red district as prostitutes and the men to work in pink cocaine factories at the Northern boarder. The extremely stubborn ones would be killed or framed and sent to prison.
They used black magic to make Duncan very ill and cripple the financial blessings of the family. The shaman of Bayan lake gave only gave me instructions which i followed, i don't know anything else about it. If you kill me, they won't sit back and watch because i am one of them now."
Again, shared gasps erupted in the room as disbelief swept over them all. They had been living like frogs in warm but boiling water, unaware of what fate held in store for them.
"You bastard!! you evil..." Judy fell to the ground and cried out.
The second brother stood up, his eyes burning of a fierce intensity and fixed on the confessor. "And you actually believed them? You stupid ungrateful idiot! Our parents picked you from the orphanage and raised you like one of their own. But you collaborated with our enemies to take over our empire and kill us all." His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
The Soprinos were the second biggest gang in Magic city and the only surviving rivals of the Void gang, most gangs had been eliminated by Duncan when he took over. In his quest to control Magic city he had stepped on a lot of toes, it wasn't surprising that people wanted him dead.
The O'Connors meanwhile were both business and political rivals of the Elithera's, they had been wanting to take them down for a long time. Their enemies had joined hands to destroy them and the sixth brother had fallen into their trap perfectly.
Judy's hand
Luna followed her out, matching Phoebe's pace but maintaining silence until they reached the car which had brought Phoebe over.
"Thank you Phoebe, if you ever need my help please call me." Luna put a hand on Phoebe's arm and stopped her temporarily. She wore a grateful smile on her face.
"Same here, call me just in case you feel that something is wrong with your father." A light smile tugged on Phoebe's lips, she nodded and entered the car. Hoping that it was the last time she would ever get mixed up with the Elitheras.
Just as the car was making a turn, Phoebe heard the sound of gunshots coming from the compound and she sighed.
