He had met Philsgaru... to be honest, he was just so-so.
And this Lily, with just a few words, made Long label her as a 'smart person' in his mind.
Are they all dead?
"Ah."
"Not a single one survived?"
"Unfortunately, no."
"Then it seems... I really can't refuse you."
The woman looked up with her blind eyes and smiled gently: "May I ask... why you want to become a mafia boss? After all, someone like you shouldn't need to do such a thing..."
"Hmm...the reason..."
The two chatted like friends.
Long stroked his chin and said, "I have no interest in your family; I just want to use your connections to make some 'something'..."
"To take advantage of..."
The woman seemed to understand, but not quite.
"You do not mind right?"
"Do not."
Lily shook her head.
hazy.
Long glanced at her and suddenly said, "You don't hate me?"
"I'm just a little sad...it was all destined..."
After finishing her sentence, Phils Lily suddenly said, "Could you please... describe the view outside the window to me? Just like what you see, I can only hear some sounds..."
"no problem."
Long nodded.
"Thank you."
37. Hooked
A moment later, the Phils family's butler arrived at the top floor.
As he walked out of the corridor, he saw the young lady chatting and laughing with a strange man.
It's important to know that ever since the falling out with the Kenny family, the Phils family has been extremely protective of Lily... and this top floor is exclusively for the Philsgaru siblings.
Who is the man?
When did you come?
How did you get up here?
The old man's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly... but seeing the young lady's smiling face, she seemed to know him and there was no danger.
“David… let me introduce you. This is a blood relative of our Phils family, his name is Oboro.”
Lily, with her keen hearing, sensed the butler and introduced him to him.
Relatives?
"Hello, Mr. Oboro."
The old man was also dressed in a suit and bow tie, and even his beard seemed to be meticulously groomed, making him appear very elegant.
He bowed respectfully to Asahi.
David had followed the old patriarch since he was young, and he knew the Fils family's situation very well... what relatives were they talking about?
“From today onwards, he will replace my brother, Philsgaru, as the new head of the family,” Lily said softly.
David glanced at Long, "Yes!"
"Could you please... contact the higher-ups in the family and have them come over for a meeting?" Old Man Longchong smiled.
"it is good!"
David put down the tea, bowed to the two men, and then turned to leave.
"He seems to trust you a lot..."
Watching the butler's retreating figure, Long said something.
“He watched my brother and me grow up… To me, his father was no different.”
Lily responded, then countered, "You want to purge the family's upper echelons because you're worried they'll leak your secrets, right?"
“It’s not just that… I’ve learned a little about your family’s situation. With Philsgaru dead, his men will definitely be restless, and some might even have thoughts of rebellion and usurpation… Isn’t this kind of trend common in your gang? Besides inheritance among relatives, many people rise to power through infighting… Can you guarantee that each of them is safe?”
As she spoke, Long walked away, waving her hand and saying, "Since you can't see it, don't look anymore. Listen to some music. It's getting late... Goodnight."
"Good night."
……
On the other hand, butler David was incredibly efficient; within a few hours, managers from the Fils family's businesses had all arrived at the group's headquarters.
Luxury cars were parked in front of the building, and a large crowd of people gathered around. A group of mafia members escorted the leaders to the conference room.
“David… why did you call us all here so late? What happened?!”
"Haven't heard anything from the boss yet?"
"Old man... I heard... Boss Garu..."
Inside the well-lit room, a dozen people sat around a long table, discussing amongst themselves and speculating about the patriarch's intentions and the rumors they had overheard. The steward had summoned them this time in the patriarch's name.
So they assumed that Filsgaru had returned.
However, there have been some rumors circulating these past two days... because they can't contact Philsgaru, and even Kuga, Sam, and others are nowhere to be found. They know that their boss went to Tandon to deal with someone... and the person is quite troublesome.
After waiting for a long time, when the door was pushed open, the butler David came out.
At that moment, the group of people immediately began scrambling to ask the question.
There was only the butler; familiar figures like Philsgaru were nowhere to be seen!
"Please be quiet, everyone."
David walked to the head of the group and raised his hand to calm everyone down: "This meeting was indeed the intention of the patriarch... however... it was the new patriarch."
"new?"
Those at the top looked at each other, completely bewildered.
When did they get a new leader? How come they didn't know?
Just then, footsteps came from the doorway.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange man walk in.
"Who is he?"
Someone said in a deep voice.
“Let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Filsmaibo, a descendant of the former patriarch and the new patriarch… Mr. Oboro. As the only direct descendant of the Fils family, Miss Lily made her decision a few hours ago,” David explained.
"What a joke!"
A fat, burly man slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily: "How can the decision of the family head be made so casually... We haven't even been notified yet!"
The man's small eyes flashed with a cold light.
No one present was a fool. David's words had already revealed a message: Philsgaru was dead!
The news was indeed true!
Although they were surprised, what they cared about more right now was... the selection of the head of the family.
This means...they all have a chance!
"that is!"
There were also disgruntled comments from higher-ups.
Are you questioning Miss's decision?
David remained expressionless. "With Young Master Garu gone, Miss has absolute authority over the family!"
"What does she know, she's just a woman? Does she think we're entrusting the fate of the entire Fils family to a blind woman like her... and then finding an outsider to be the boss!" The fat man sneered. He used to dare not disrespect the young lady, but now...
The butler's expression turned cold.
"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down."
Long, who had been silent until now, had taken his seat at the head of the table. He suddenly clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Everyone, please calm down!"
After saying that, he glanced at the hostile faces on the table and said lightly, "The reason I called you all here this time is not to ask you to express your opinions or solicit your views. It's just to inform you all and, incidentally, to see you off."
Seeing someone off?
Then, before he could even savor Oboro's words, a swift black shadow leaped onto the table, appearing like a ghost between the two rows of executives. The butler only heard a series of crisp sounds, and when he came to his senses, Oboro was already standing at the opposite table again.
As for the dozen or so high-ranking family members, without exception, their necks were twisted 180 degrees, their heads were pulled back, and they stopped breathing.
His expression remained frozen on his face until the moment he died.
"Find replacements for them from below, preferably those who are ambitious, capable, and eager to get ahead... You definitely know them better than I do, so I'm leaving it to you!"
As if he had done something insignificant, Long yawned and went straight out the door: "I'm going to sleep!"
"Yes."
David regained his senses and bowed to Long to accept the order.
On the top floor, following Oboro's advice, Phils Lily had the maid play music in the room.
The music is soothing and relaxing... yet carries a subtle sadness.
Reflecting her current mood... it's unclear whether she's mourning her brother Philsgaru or paying tribute to the family administrators who died suddenly downstairs.
