Mercenary's War

Cesare looked at the suddenly appearing Frank with a calm face, and then he calmly handed the phone to Frank.

Frank took the phone, handed it to the bodyguard next to him, and then suddenly reached out, grabbing Cesare’s left wrist and twisting it, forcing Cesare’s left hand behind his back.

Cesare bent over in pain from the agony in his arm.

Frank acted directly, the last ounce of face-saving gone, completely over.

Grabbing Cesare’s left hand from behind, Frank coldly said, "You disappoint me, Cesare."

After saying this coldly, Frank took off Cesare’s watch, instructing the bodyguard assigned to Cesare to put away his gun and take out a zip tie, binding Cesare’s hands from behind.

Letting Cesare go, Frank began to feel Cesare’s hair, starting from the head down to the feet, searching everything on Cesare, not even leaving him with his shoes.

After handing Cesare’s shoes to a subordinate beside him, Frank said coldly, "Take him back, check these things, and also locate every call on his phone."

Cesare was not at Mario’s house; he was caught red-handed by Frank in a restaurant, not even knowing when Frank had followed him there.

He said lightly, "Frank, if you want to kill me, why go to such lengths, finding some meaningless excuse? Is it worth it? I said I’m ready to face death, so why bother."

Frank leaned closer to Cesare and whispered, "As a traitor, want to die? Not a chance."

Frank reached out, pinched Cesare’s mouth, and with a crack, Cesare’s lower jaw was dislocated by Frank’s grip. Prizing Cesare’s mouth open, Frank took out a small flashlight to look inside, then rudely used the flashlight to knock every tooth inside Cesare’s mouth.

After checking, Frank casually threw away the flashlight and said coldly, "You should see a dentist, Cesare."

As he said this, Frank slowly pinched the collar of Cesare’s suit, then slowly pinched the shirt collar, finally sniffing carefully at the collar of Cesare’s clothing with his nose.

Cesare, drooling, mumbled, "Are you afraid I’ll kill myself, Frank?"

Frank whispered, "You won’t have the chance to kill yourself, Cesare, a collar soaked in potassium cyanide, what are you preparing for? What are you afraid of?"

Cesare chuckled a few times, "Are you a bloodhound? You can even smell that." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Frank said expressionlessly, "Not a bloodhound, even sharper than one. Take him away."

Cesare was pushed out of the restaurant barefoot, and after being thrust into a car, Frank personally sat beside him.

Cesare knew it was over, everything was over.

When Cesare was brought back to Mario’s house, returning to the living room where Mario had fainted or supposedly died, Mario sat on the sofa with a sullen face, and said in a low voice, "Cesare, surprised?"

Cesare muttered something unclear, Frank immediately pinched his chin, and with a crack, Cesare caught his breath and said, "Not very surprised. Since I saw Frank, there was no way to be too surprised. Hi, Mario, well done."

Mario picked up a phone on the coffee table and slowly said, "Yes, well done. Justin reappeared, hidden enemies surfaced, and most importantly, the biggest mole beside me showed up with just a fake death, exceeding my best expectations."

Cesare didn’t speak. Mario flipped through Cesare’s smartphone a few times before laughing, "Deleted the call records, careful of you, but do you think that’s enough?"

Cesare said in a low voice, "Of course it’s not enough. You can check all my call records directly from the phone company. If you trust me, it doesn’t matter what you do. If you don’t trust me, then it won’t matter what I haven’t done. It’s simple, I understand."

Mario picked up Cesare’s watch, looked at it, and nodded, "I gave this to you, but I didn’t expect you to install a signal transmitter inside it. What did I ever do wrong to you, Cesare?"

Cesare exhaled and said, "You’ve done nothing wrong to me, you’ve been very good to me, it’s me who let you down."

Mario’s face turned grim, and he opened his arms, "You cannot brush me off with a simple I’m sorry, you owe me an explanation."

Cesare sighed deeply and said, "I didn’t want to explain myself to you, but I know you’re confused, so I’m willing to give an explanation."

Mario nodded repeatedly, "Very good, very good, I should thank you. Go ahead, why betray me."

Cesare said seriously, "I haven’t betrayed anyone. I am loyal, fearless, and I strive to complete my mission until the sacrifice of everything I have, so I’m not a traitor, not betrayal at all."

Mario laughed in anger loudly, "No betrayal? Would you have the nerve to say that again?"

Cesare said earnestly, "Of course, I’m not a traitor, because my allegiance is to the Cicero Family, not you."

Mario pointed at himself, tapping his chest, "I am the Cicero Family!"

Cesare shook his head and said, "As long as you’re alive, you represent the Cicero Family. If you die, you no longer represent the Cicero Family. Before you supposedly died, I did nothing to betray you, even though you started a family war and seized the head position from Justin, I did not stop you or betray you, but once you died, for the Cicero Family, I had to choose between Lorenzo and Justin."

The muscles on Mario’s face twitched continuously, and he said in a low voice, "So it’s my fault then?"

Cesare nodded, "Yes, if you hadn’t used such a clumsy method as faking your death, if I didn’t truly believe you were dead, I would never have done anything."

With disdain, Mario said, "Do you think I would believe that?"

Once again, Cesare let out a long sigh and said, "I know you won’t believe it, but that’s the fact. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I have to say it."

Mario leaned back, shaking his head, "You said my fake death was clumsy, so why did you fall for it? Haha, Cesare, I always thought you were a very steady guy, I thought it would take at least a few days to expose you, but I didn’t expect you to almost immediately reveal yourself as a traitor, which I really didn’t anticipate."

Cesare sighed and said, "That’s because I was too anxious, Mario, I couldn’t bear to watch the Cicero Family fall. I was too anxious, so I made this foolish mistake. Without seeing your corpse, without personally confirming your death, I eagerly sent out the message because I didn’t dare wait any longer, the Cicero Family was running out of time."

Mario suddenly roared, "Shut your mouth, the Cicero Family isn’t finished, but you are, you all are!"
