CAT WARLOCK: This Darklord Feasts Upon Horror-Chapter 304: Syndication
Don Elio raised an eyebrow.
"What is it this time? We just settled a dispute between the Luciente and the Selomo and now you want to cause even more conflict."
"I assure you, Don Elio. I wouldn’t have brought up this matter if it wasn’t important." The Bellini patriarch bowed and said.
The head of the Bellini Family, Salvatore ’Sonny’ Bellini. He was a ruthless crime lord that ruled the drug trade of Aeliz City for many years.
Tommy dusted his clothes and stood up. He knew very well what was coming at him. And he wasn’t afraid.
Especially since his allies brought quite a few heavy hitters with them.
"The Luciente shall hear what the Bellini has to say." Tommy said.
"Very well." Don Elio nodded. "Go on, Sonny."
Salvatore stepped forward. He wagged his finger at one of his men. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
They dragged a skinny man in front of the families and threw him onto the ground.
Tommy took a huge puff of cigarette.
"I was wondering where you’ve been, Andy. Did they do anything to you?"
Andy got up and shook his head, "They beat me a little bit but I can take it, Boss."
Tommy nodded. His eyes turned sharp as he looked over to Sonny.
"I expect a good explanation for this. And good compensation for Andy and his family too." Tommy said.
Salvatore laughed out loud. "I am the one that should receive some compensation."
Bellini’s members came forward and threw a bag on the ground. Red glowing pills flooded out.
"The Hemoglobin Adrenaline Synthesizer?" The black cat stroked its whiskers.
The trade for HAS pills between Mater and Tommy had proven to benefit both of them. Tommy could build his army and Mater had wealth to do as he liked.
Leslie was preparing the second batch right now to deliver to the Luciente.
"Drug trade belongs to the Luciente. You know for damn sure that no other families are allowed to create new power pills. Yet you still do it." Sonny said.
He turned to Don Elio, "The gambling business does not have any rules. But within the Syndicate, the drug business has rules. And that rule only allows the Bellini to create power pills.
The Luciente does not have the rights to synthesize power pills."
Don Elio nodded. He put the cigar away.
"What do you have to say for yourself, Tommy. And think carefully before you do." Don Elio said.
Don Elio’s aura emerged and spread to the entire place.
"Oh? A half rank-3." The black cat meowed. "No wonder the Syndicate has been able to survive so long under the Union. They aren’t just barks and no bite. They have strength."
’But still. He is nowhere near compared to you, Mr. Mater.’ Selina communicated telepathically.
She held Mater in her arms and gently petted his head.
’That is for sure.’ The black cat chuckled darkly.
Tommy smiled, "I have not synthesized new power pills."
"Liar! Then where did you get so much Bloodshot?" Sonny screamed.
Bloodshot. The nickname for HAS on the street.
"Why don’t you ask my provider?" Tommy stepped aside and motioned toward Selina and the servants.
The goth girl stood up gracefully. Aurora and Bash went with her as her guardians.
"And who might you be?" Don Elio said.
Before Selina could even say anything, Blanche already opened her mouth wide.
"Rejoice, mortals. And be grateful at the presence of Selina Isles."
’Ah shit.’ Mater covered his face. ’Totally forget about her.’
"In front of you is the bride of our Master." Blanche continued her speech, which made Selina blush all over. "Mother of Demons. Voice of the Abyss. The Dark Knight and the daughter of Phantom."
The members of the Syndicate smirked in the beginning and thought that Blanche was just a delusional child. But they froze when they heard the word ’Phantom’.
"Phantom? As in a Neutralizer?" Salvatore said.
’Well, boys and girls. We can’t go back to our words now. Play it well.’ Mater communicated to the rest.
"You are correct. Selina is the daughter of a Neutralizer?" Aurora said.
The Syndicate immediately went hostile. A lot of them pulled out their weapons.
Don Elio chuckled and gestured for his men to back down. "Stop, you fool. Tommy already invited her as a guest. She is obviously not here to cause trouble. Right, missy?"
Selina smiled sinisterly. She removed the restraints of her madness. "I am here to provide Tommy with the assistance he requested. In exchange for a price. We are also the one that provided him with the power pills."
"Oh? You know it’s not nice for you to do that right? You should have gone to me, Selina. You can’t work with the Syndicate without the approval of the boss."
"I don’t need your approval, Don... Elio." Selina gazed upon the old man with the cigar. "I work with Tommy and not you."
"I run this place, darling. Do you understand who you’re talking to?" Don Elio squinted his eyes.
"I know exactly who you are..."
Mater was looking for Elio’s real name by accessing the ACPD database. He whispered Elio’s real name into Selina’s mind.
Then she spoke out his name, "Donald."
Elio’s aura was immediately shaken. Both by fear and by surprise.
"How did you know that name?" Elio smiled. A threatening smile.
"From the ACPD. I have my connections." Selina smiled.
Aurora stepped forward and lowered the temperature of the entire place down. "Back off and retreat your power."
She said with a cold tone.
"You’re a Hazard rank, little girl. But you can’t beat me." Elio said. His voice echoed throughout the area like a bell.
"She isn’t a little girl. And neither am I a little boy." Bash said. He grabbed his Blood Mask. "Careful what you’re saying next. Or it might be your last."
A gigantic red demon appeared. He caught the entire Syndicate off guard. The sheer aura of the demon alone caused their legs to tremble.
Even Elio was afraid. He might be very close to becoming a Disaster Psychic. But he was still human.
Bash was different from the usual wraith the Syndicate knew so well of. He was a demon that people only heard of in the myth.
The giant demon roared at the Syndicate, causing a lot of them to fall down on their butts.
Even Tommy was shocked, "What did I even make friends with?"
