Alpha, Beta I, Beta II and Gamma gathered at the House Maestri, the Main House of the Mafia. Discussing about the Fantasma Rosso's way of declaring war between the two Mafias.
"So history do repeat themselves, but prematurely..." Beta I muttered while playing with her silky white hair which is framing her slim and pale face.
"Thus, unlike back then, they act kind of impulsive.." Nico pointed out while spinning his pen.
"Well, what should we do now then? Should we sit back or attack?" Gamma asks while leaning his head on the table.
"Let's formulate a plan first." Nico suggested as he stopped spinning his pen.
"I see.. still, we should've brought Delta I, Delta II and Delta IV in here.." Beta I said before taking a sip from her blueberry cheesecake frappe.
"After 7 long years, they provoked us again.." Gamma stretched his arms up while yawning.
"Well, my father's plan back then wasn't successful at all.." Alpha stated as she entered the meeting hall, she sits on the empty seat before her deep blue eyes roamed around the area, "You mean about the arranged marriage between Piero Fabbri and Neverdura Ferrante right..? I knew it won't work from the very start since that woman wanted to marry Pio." Nico sighed as he gazes at Alpha. "Also, arrange marriage isn't always the answer.." Beta I rolls her eyes before resting her arms on the table. The tension between the four rises, silence covered the whole place and no one dared to speak.
"So anyways... What's the plan?" Gamma broke the silence, "Let's leave the investigation to the polices for now." Nico suggested, "Are you sure?" Gamma looked at him skeptically, "Yep, my subordinates will handle it.." Nico responded with a smile. "We'll leave it to you then, Beta II.." Alpha smiles at him, "Just call me Nico, I'm still not used on being called as Beta II though.." he chuckled heartily, "Okay then.." Alpha lets out a deep sigh.
"Still, I'm worried about the Branch 1 members.. Delta I seems to be holding back, also Pio mentioned she's relying on his Thetas' reports." said Beta I while staring at her well-decorated nails, "She's still traumatized after the Luckster's Incident.." Gamma stated, "There will be a chance that she'll rank down cause of this." Beta I stated, "Then go talk to her, I know she can handle everything.." Gamma suggested before drinking his coffee, "Well, we can't blame her for that.. also, we were the ones who forced her in this position." Nico reasoned out while preparing his coffee, "Ahh... Poor Fausta Fiore.." Gamma muttered while stirring his coffee, "I still do not know how the hell did she became a vegetarian after that incident." Gamma added while rubbing his chin, "We don't need to know, asking her would trigger her PTSD." Beta I stated after finishing her frappe. "Do you have any idea, Alpha??" Gamma asked as he looks at Alpha who's drinking her coffee, "No." she responded shortly, "We shouldn't pry.." said Nico as he looks at Gamma. "Okay okay..jeez.. I'm just curious.." Gamma he sighed and looks away.
"May I ask something, Alpha?" Gamma averted his gaze at Alpha.
"What is it?" she replied.
"If you will die.. who will replace you..?" Gamma asks, Alpha lets out a sigh, "Either you three or my brother.. but, I still do not know if he will accept his fate." Alpha explained while stirring her coffee.
"Wait, you have a brother..?" Nico was intrigued cause of her statement, he looks at Alpha intensely while spinning his pen faster, "Well...yes.." Alpha looks away upon answering his question,
"May I know his identity..?"
[ Timeskip: 4:46 pm ]
"So it was him.." Nico sighed while walking around the House Maestri, "It's obvious though.." Beta I just crossed her arms while walking beside him, "Still, she has too many brothers who was sent away in some random houses... Including my adoptive brother, Klaus.." Nico stated while rubbing his chin, "How many brother does she have..?" Beta I asks, "She had 13 brothers.." Nico answered. "Wait, what...?" Beta I was surprised, "Yep.. Former Alpha was an ardent husband.. but still, damn.." Nico just laughed.
Meanwhile...at the Drago's Rest House, the gang gathered at the pool. The others were swimming and playing around while the rest are just enjoying the view.
"Oooh... Doro, I think Flavio Rana likes you.." Delta laughs as she hits Dorotea with her elbow lightly. The two looks at Flavio who's also staring at Dorotea from afar while soaking his body in the pool. Dorotea just rolled her eyes as she takes a sip from her coconut juice. Flavio walks towards the two's location, looking like a charming idiot while looking at Doro.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!" Piero yells before jumping in the pool creating a large splash that made Flavio lost his balance. "Heh.... =w=" Dorotea giggles at Flavio, "How unfortunate.." Delta lets out a laugh.
"Gamma, we've eliminated the spies.." Ilario reported while walking behind Gamma, "How many spies have you seen?" Gamma asks while burying both of his hands in his pants' pocket, "They we're 5.." Ilario answered. "Are the kids safe?" Gamma asks again, "Worry not, they are safe." Ilario answered before yawning, "I see.." Gamma replied.
Arturo sat on his bed while looking at the milk carton, "Does this mean, Flavio is missing the whole time..?" he asked himself before standing up. "And on the top of that, he came from a wealthy and noble family." he muttered as he sat on the chair, "I don't need sleep, I need answers.." he said and took his laptop to conduct a research about Flavio Rana.
"I swear I saw the surname Blount somewhere in the Mafia's data..oh wait... the House Blount was one of the Mafia's associates.." Arturo stated before getting his phone, he sent a message to Delta to report what have he discovered.
Unfortunately, Delta's phone was left in the living room. Dante happens to stumbled across the ringing phone, "Isnt that... Delta's phone..?" he asked himself before grabbing the phone. He saw Arturo's message prior to Flavio's real identity, he immediately deleted the message and left the phone where he found it.
