Taken By The Mafia Lord

Meanwhile, the same night, all the members of the Basil family gathered around for an emergency meeting. The Basil family was one of the five crime families holding territory in the city. And whatever power they lacked compared to the other families, the Basil family compensated for it with money. Yes, the family was the richest of them all.

However tonight every core member of the family had been called together for an emergency meeting. They had received a tip-off that the Bratva has set eyes on their territory. Hence they gathered tonight to resolve the problem.

The hall in which they gathered was filled with every member of the family while the soldiers stood outside protecting them.

"We all know why we have come here," said a middle-aged man in the front who was obviously the Don of the family.

"We have settled here for years without any problem from the Bratva, why then would they fight for a territory that doesn't belong to them?"

"First of all, who received the tip?" Another man asked, much older than their leader.

"Fin did." The leader of the Basil family said, pointing to a younger man who was standing unlike the others seated down.

Fin was no other than his nephew. To be precise, he was born illegitimately after his mother cheated on her husband. He would have been killed if not for his intervention and took him in for a son.

"Fin, you wouldn't mind telling the family what happened?" He gestured to the young man who stepped out in the middle to face them.

He said, "While on our way to carry out our business, we were attacked in by the Bratva. I and another soldier were lucky enough to survive and we managed to shoot down a member of the Bratva. That was when he gave me the message, they are coming for us." He narrated and the expression on the faces of his relatives present turned gloomy.

"This is preposterous!" Another man shouted, standing up to his feet furious, "How can they pick on us because we are the weakest of the five families?! The Bratva have no place here! This is not their land!"

The other man from earlier spoke up, asking their leader, "The commission wouldn't let this happen. If the Bratva gets a hold here, they would contend with the other families since their greed is insatiable. We need help from the commission, have you let them know about our situation?"

"The commission has been informed and they intend to review the problem with the other families first."

"Review with the other families?!" Another person shouted, "Do they plan to review the problem when we are dead?!"

As if the very man jinxed their luck, one of the soldiers dropped to the ground with a thud and everyone in the room who saw it became alert . Whoever did that, must have used a silencer gun.

Everyone in the room picked up their weapons having a suspicion they were under attack. All of their attention was focused on the door where the soldier fell and it came as a startle when every window in the room was shattered, the bullets catching the unlucky ones close enough.

And just like that, a shootout began.

However, it became obvious to them that they were losing. Whoever the attackers were had been making a move in the dark while they had been busy with their meetings. In no time, they were outnumbered and every single member of the Basil family was gunned down aside from their leader and Fin.

The leader of the Basil family knew that he was staring death in the face as their attackers surrounded them. It was two against multitude and there was no way he was coming out of this alive.

"Fin, listen to me…." He slowly whispered while watching the attackers who surprisingly hasn't made any move. It was almost as if they were waiting. For what?

"Uncle…" Fin answered, his weapon held securely in his grip.

"I don't think I'm going to make it, but you need to survive." He whispered to him, "I'll cause a distraction and cover your back while you escape. If you do survive, find my wife and kids and send them to the commission. They would know what to do and protect them. Now promise me that you would get out of here alive. "

"I promise you, uncle."

"Good," The man swallowed, trying to hide his nervousness knowing that he was about to die. He said to him, "Now, we move at the count of three, are you ready? One… two… now!"

And while the leader of the Basil family shot at the two that would likely stand in Fin's way, his niece in question turned and shot at…. him?

Even as the man fell, there was nothing but shock as he felt the painful sting of betrayal from his own family. That was when it dawned on him, Fin was the one the enemies had been waiting for to make a move all this while. Eveything was aset up.

"Why?" He asked, coughing up blood.

Fin laughed, "I'm sorry that it came to this uncle but I'm sick and tired of being treated like second class. No matter how much you try to cover it or make me feel better, I'll only be the one to finish up the mess for you and your son and I want something more! I deserve more. Now, as soon as you die, everything that I helped you work for would come back to its rightful owner, me. " He cackled villainously.

The man tried to speak but he couldn't, already drowning in his blood.

"But don't worry, because of the love you showed me, I'll give you a quick death." Fin shot him in the head and he died instantly.

"Bye-bye, uncle," He blew him a kiss before turning to face the enemies that he had been working with.

"It's done." He announced joyfully.

"Good," said Richardo, entering the room full of gore and death.
