675 Dine With The Vultures – He does have the foulest of moods, Victor affirmed as Marcel wouldn’t let him say a thing after their conversation earlier. On the bright side, they finally arrived at the location of the family meeting and it was nice to know that they were not the only ones late to the gathering.

Since it was an emergency meeting, it made sense that many people would arrive late since it caught many of them unawares and there were a few absences as well. However, no matter what, the key players were around and Marcel wished that they had been among the absentees. But then, life always has a way to infuriate him.

Daniel was already seated when they arrived and Robert and Benjamin were conversing with him. That scenario was as odd as the sun and moon shining at the same time and that made Marcel’s brows furrow.

His father had never gotten along with his cousins and for the three of them to be conversing this happily means that he was truly and thoroughly fucked up. Sometimes, Marcel does wonder if Daniel was truly his father because it doesn’t make sense at all.

Carmine would fight for her son, Victor down to her last breath. But Daniel? If it wasn’t beneficial to him, Marcel was as good as disposable. What kind of father does that? Well, you get Daniel, the father of the year.

“And here you are,” Someone came up to him and Marcel looked up to see that it was no one else but Cindy. He sighed inwardly, he must be cursed to keep on having confrontations with the little girl that wasn’t worth his attention.

Cindy was just about to open her mouth and taunt him as usual, when Marcel warned her, “Don’t.”

She looked at him confused, having not seen that one coming.

“Don’t even think about it at all because I might just kill you right away and be done with it,” He threatened her.

.....



He was bluffing, Cindy thought, but for some reason, the steely look in his eyes told her that he wasn’t joking and she retraced her step, minding her business for once. Good for well.

With the nuisance gone from his sight, Marcel walked over to the large table where the others were gathered, pulled out a seat that scraped across the tiled floor, and sat down, drawing attention to himself.

Daniel, Robert, and Benjamin looked at him and Marcel gave them a subtle greeting.

“You are finally here,” Daniel said, an odd glint in his eyes that told Marcel that the old man was up to no good.

“You called for a family meeting, here I am.”

“It’s not an “I” but a “we”. When things are going wrong in the organization, it is our responsibility to take care of it and make sure it doesn’t happen again,” He referred to Benjamin and Robert by his side.

Marcel wanted to laugh, surely Daniel was not thinking that Robert and Benjamin were on his side. They would leave and betray him in the twinkle of an eye. However, Daniel was smarter than that, meaning that he had a use for them and Marcel didn’t know how to feel about that.

“That’s nice,” Marcel didn’t hide the dislike in his tone. The division in their family was not going to be solved with a mere family meeting where they were about to crucify him on the cross. If they wanted them to work out, they needed more.

“Now all we have to do is to wait for the others to arrive, you wouldn’t mind that, right, boss?” Benjamin was taunting him.

“Of course, I’m still young so the old ones need to catch up, don’t you think so?” Although that was supposed to refer to those still on their way coming, Benjamin was not dumb enough not to realize the sarcasm was aimed at him.

Victor couldn’t control the urge anymore and burst into laughter, while the man’s cheeks heated with embarrassment. Benjamin cleared his throat and looked the other way. Arguing with Marcel was not going to help him anyway.

Thanks to that, they let him rest and Marcel wrapped his arms across his chest waiting for those yet to come. Adele arrived not long after and Marcel never took his gaze off her, not even for a second until she sat down and their eyes connected.

How dare she, Marcel ground his jaw. She had tried to sabotage Arianna’s whereabouts and he was mad. Why was everyone betraying him recently?

Adele broke contact with him and focused on somewhere else. She didn’t need a prophet to tell her that Marcel had found out what she did. But for now, she will focus on the meeting. Marcel kept his cool as well, he would deal with her later.

Carmine, Victor’s mother, was the last to arrive and settled down before the meeting was officially opened.

Usually, it was his father who started the talking and no one would argue with that, but surprisingly, Daniel let Robert do him the favor. This friendship of theirs was budding.

“This emergency meeting was called to deal with an important problem and threat to our organization. Just a day ago, we heard of an attack on the base and it would be highly enlightening if the young leader of our family gives us a report on that.” He said politely and took his seat.

Marcel looked at them without saying a word. They knew what happened, however, they wanted to hear it from his mouth so they could trap him with his words.

When the silence became overbearing, Daniel said to him, “We are waiting for you, son. Tell us what happened?” Daniel encouraged him with a warm smile and if one didn’t know him too well, they would think he was a wonderful father!

Fine, he would give them a report.

“You’re right in your assessment,” Marcel confirmed, “There was an attack on the base with all of my men knocked out cold. None of them saw it coming.”



“And where were you that night?”

And so it began.
