Chereads / La Nostra Pace (Our Peace) / Chapter 10 - Chapter 9: Heirs

Chapter 10 - Chapter 9: Heirs

"YOU SAY WHAT NOW?! GODDAMNIT PEOPLE!" Gamma yelled on the top of his lungs before punching the table they are using for their meeting.

"We'll be taking the bait, you do not want Letizia will end up like Fausta..." Delta stated, "Do you think you can just barge in their base like before? Do you think they'll use Letizia to take you out of the battlefield?" Nico looked at Delta, she just clenched her fist while looking down.

"Barging in is an easy job people!" the Caucasian exclaimed while raising her hand."By using your tactics?" Pio sighed, "You're too impulsive.." Esidro averted his gaze at her.

"We need a plan that won't alarm the whole base..." Giovanni suggested while staring at the other Deltas, "Say, what about we'll just blend in according to the opponent's plan? Then we'll strike in the right time?" Esidro suggested while looking at them.

"Damnit, I can't wait.." Salvatore muttered while waiting outside the meeting room, "Let's just wait." said Arturo while sipping his coffee.

"Hey.. are you a member of House Quattrocchi, right?" Salvatore looked at Arturo.

"Obviously, I am." Arturo confirmed.

"Why are you...making artificial humans...?" Salvatore confronted Arturo who's calmly enjoying his coffee.

"I do not know our House even do that." Arturo sighed, "What..? You are a member and also the heir yet you do not possess the knowledge of your family's secret..?" Salvatore gritted his teeth, Arturo just clicked his tongue, "Nope, you are wrong about that Heir thingy. I am not the Heir, I am just the second son of the Head." Arturo just averted his gaze.

"But, the Head has only one real child—"

"You are wrong about that... Just shut up." Arturo cut his sentence short. He left Salvatore standing in the hallways of the Sapienti's Mansion.

After the meeting, the Deltas and other high ranked officials went out of the conference room. Esidro meets up with his younger brother, Giusto. He just patted his little brother, Giusto was pleased so they chatted a little bit.

Delta on the other hand is sharpening her blade on the garage and is accompanied by Salvatore whose sitting on the floor. "What a tiring day for you, isn't it..?" Delta spoke, breaking the silence between them. "Too many revelations.." Salvatore responded, "I do really pity you.." she smiled at him, "So you already discovered Letizia is just a homunculus.." she added.

"Wait, how did you knew it?" he looked at her.

"Simple, Fausta was a homunculus, only made for assassinating and also fighting yet.. she was really cheerful, she really acts like a real human, not just a killing machine." she lets out a smile while looking down.

"Fausta Fiore.. right?" Salvatore asked, Delta just nodded.

"She was supposed to be the heiress to maintain the bloodline of the Fiore Family. She shares the same DNA of D'Ambrosio's and Fiore's, this is because nobody within the Mafia wants to marry the Head of Fiore Family, you do know this, right? Salvatore?" she averted her gaze at him.

"How did you..." his eyes widened.

"Easy, you and the Family's head look very alike. Thus, when I tried on visiting your mother's grave, the surname Fiore is embedded on the gravestone." Delta smiled.

"Don't tell me you've been stalking the whole members within the Branch 1.." he looked at her.

"Nah, not just Branch 1." she yawns, "Don't worry, I am not even disgusted, in fact I do treat you like a brother.." Delta smiled at him.

"Really..? You are making me cry.." he tears up while smiling at her, "Meh, crying is gay.. just kidding, brethren." Delta giggles, "Thus, it's not your fault, you are just merely the fruit of their lust." she added as she puts her sword inside the sheathe.

"But..Delta, does that mean you know everything about the Mafia, even the secrets of each houses..?" Salvatore asks while wiping his tears, "Indeed, not only me, even Gamma and some officials know everything." Delta stated as she sits beside him, "So do you know the House Quattrocchi's secret, right?" he asked again, "Yes, but, I'm not gonna tell you, sorry about that. You might can't take the truth about it." she looked at him, "Wait, it's fine.. you can keep it.." he said. "Okay then.." she sighed.

"So Pio, Luciano, Klaus, Marco and Esidro do look alike, they all have the same facial features." Delta stated.

"Yeah, one from Fiore, Drago, Sapienti, Di'Caprio and Gallo, but how can you be so sure Marco's not a Di'Caprio?" Salvatore asks.

"Marco doesn't have the knack for guns, thus many said it's because of Piero but, even from the very start, Marco's attention is only fixated on blades. Maestri Family is also known for their knack for blades, thus they have a lot of fighting style, Pio loves knives too, even Klaus and Esidro. Also according to the maids in the rest house, they really secure the knives cause Luciano's playing with them." Delta explained

"I see, even the likings and habits." Salvatore just nodded.

"Welp, when will we get Letizia from them?" he asked, "Carlotta will only give a signal, the others are now informed, and yes, the Branch 1 who's still in here are the ones who will take Letizia, including you." she answered. "Okay then... I'll go get prepared." he stated as he stood up, "Thanks, Delta.." he smiled and walks away.

"Rosamaria...ahhh..hahaha...I'm fascinated by your existence...your talent is very impressive.. you are supposed to breakdown and lose your sanity...yet you are still there.... Fighting alongside La Nostra Pace!! It frustrates me you know! Why.. did you joined them...?" an old slender man stabs a picture of a smiling purple haired girl which is pasted on the wall of his room. He looks very deprived and messy, though he's also losing his hair on his head. "Say... Kiddo, if I'll kill you right now... Will I ever see her face filled with despair..? I'm getting obssessed just by looking at her picture..." the man giggled creepily scaring Letizia whose arms are tied on the ceiling. Wounds and bruises are all over her body, she's not even struggling cause of the tranquilizer that they injected on her. "Her face was priceless.... That look on her face... When her friend was forced to kill herself... Ahaha... Maybe I'll apply the same method when I'll capture her.." the man laughs insanely echoing throughout the room.

"Oii, old man, how long will you stay in that filthy room filled with that girl's picture...?" Neverdura arrives while looking at her uncle, "You also want her dead, right..? RIGHT?!" the man grinned maliciously, "Yeah, why? She's been Fantasma Rosso's opponent for years, still, she's still sane." Neverdura sighed as she walks away.
