Capítulo 12: Chapter 12

Salvatore was still nagging Mingjue to accept his proposal and bragging about how they were lucky he even came to them when one of his men stepped forward. The man whispered something to his boss that put Salvatore in a state of shock and fear before the men scrambled out of the office without a word. “Not that I’m not happy that they are gone but what was that about? Salvatore looked like he just saw a ghost.” Liana asked curiously.

“I have no idea. Whatever it was, it must be real bad if it made that arrogant prick run with his tail between his legs.” Corey snorted as he recalled the man’s face.

Alessio was scrolling through his phone as he debated on whether to call Avanya or not when he suddenly received a notification on his phone. He opened it and his eyes widen in utter disbelief. “Holy shit!” He swore loudly startling everyone in the room.

“What’s wrong, Ales?” Mingjue asked concerned.

“Salvatore just got arrested for a series number of crimes. In fact, he was using his casinos to hide his mafia businesses, somehow the police got a tip from an anonymous informer. All his businesses have been shut down and are being raided as we speak.” The man informed as he showed them the news on his phone.

“Serial rapist, killer, drug lord, human trafficking, and money laundering… what the actual fuck? There is an endless list of this man’s crimes. How is it that he has never been caught for all this time?” Corey breathed.

Liana looked traumatized, “And to think that bastard was in the same room as us.”

“If the police couldn’t catch him all these years then how did this anonymous tipper find all the evidence to his crimes?” Corey wondered in astonishment.

Mingjue gave the phone back to Alessio. “He must have pissed the wrong person off and now they are getting revenge on him.”

“Not just him. Everyone who works with and for him will be destroyed.” A cold voice had everyone turning to the door. Avanya stood at the entrance with her face devoid of any emotions and her eyes filled with the fire of vengeance.

A pin drop silence filled the room as they tried to process whatever just happened. Seeing the look on Avanya’s face, it did not take long for all of them to understand that Salvatore is part of Koan Yakuza’s mafia and he was there when Avanya’s parents were killed. The group did not know whether to comfort her or commend her for how she just destroyed Salvatore’s life. Alessio stood up and pulled his woman into a tight hug, the others watched in surprise as Avanya hugged him back like her life depended on it. Her cold demeanor long gone and replaced a rather soft one.

Corey stood up from his seat, he sauntered over the window and stared blankly at the view. The sight made Mingjue frown because Corey rarely ever gets serious let alone have a blank expression on his face. The man was either always grinning like an idiot or smirking, he is after all the goofball of the group and he always had ways to lighten the mood. Seeing him like that now troubled the Chinese man a lot more than he let on.

“You realize that the Yakuza Mafia will want to know who is responsible for Salvatore’s downfall, right?” Corey broke the silence.

Avanya pulled back from Alessio to look at the man. Though she could not see his face, she did know that he was very concerned about the dangers this war she had started will bring for them. “I’m aware.”

“Salvatore might not stay in jail for long, if the Yakuza managed to cover up the De Luca homicide which happened publicly, might I add yet no one was arrested for it then it is easy for them to track you down. They must have connections with the police so we can’t trust anyone with this mission of yours. Are you sure you want to do this?” This time Corey turned so he was looking directly into her eyes.

“Yes.” There was no hesitation in that voice.

Corey Clarkson shifted his gaze to his best friend, Alessio was nervous, he had never seen Corey so serious before hence, he knew to take whatever the man was about to say very seriously. “Alessio, are you willing to accept this decision of hers?”

Without missing a beat or even stuttering, Alessio looked his friend dead in the eye and replied. “Yes.”

Silence filled the room for a brief moment before Corey smirked, “All right then, let’s hunt some mafia ass down.” He cheered as if he wasn’t just dead serious a moment ago.

Liana shook her head. “Idiot.” She mumbled.

“Why, thank you, love.” Mingjue just chose to ignore these fools and turn his attention to Avanya instead.
