Chapter 121 – She’s a First-Rate Mafia Boss.
“Then, even if you show your senses, you will talk about supporting you for now?”
“Huh. And the guys who want Herendal to be her boss will be playing behind the scenes. They will try to kill me.”
Herendal is strong because she inherited her beastly blood, but her brain doesn’t work as well compared to Germi.
Parasites who want to suck the blood of an organization will want a stupid Herendal to be the boss.
However, since Herendal has returned as a rag, the chance that Germi will take over as boss increases.
It’s bad news for the guys. You may want to stop Germi from becoming a boss, but it is impossible to cure Herendal, who has become a one-armed cripple, with the medical technology of this world.
So there is no other way but to remove Germi.
“It’s a story about finding a traitor. Like I said before, you can’t kill anyone just because you’re suspicious, so you’re saying you have to catch evidence by targeting when they try to kill you, right?”
It would be nice to kill them safely before they show their teeth.
At least there must be information about who will betray, so it is easier to find evidence.
“But I’ve been independent under my father for quite some time, so I don’t know exactly how many executives there are. So you need help from someone with insider knowledge.”
“Are you saying you don’t know anything about the inner circumstances of the Black Moon? How did you come to the Westway so blindly?”
“When you enter the Westway, the Black Moon gangsters will come in contact with you, so I was thinking of catching them and going to the executive, to be exact, Uncle Johannes.”
Having said that, Germi looked at Take. It was a problem not knowing where Johannes was, but it would be no problem since Take knew.
As if confirming my expectations, Germi opened her mouth.
“Since there is a take, that part has been resolved. Take is a member of the assassination team, so he knows where all the officers are, so you just need to find Uncle Johannes. You have loved me a lot since I was little, so you will do my favor.”
“They say they will support you?”
“There are also supportive ones. Because he is the longest-serving executive in the organization. You know the situation inside as well. You probably know at least who the guys who usually flirt with Herendal in order to impress Herendal.”
“They must be the ones who support Herendal.”
The wagon swayed as it stopped to enter the Westway.
The sounds of the soldiers and Take talking outside the wagon were heard, but it soon fell silent and the wagon swayed as it entered the Westway.
Thermia, who had been sleeping soundly on my knee from the wagon’s shaking, frowned. Seeing that, she gently stroked Thermia’s hair and organized her conversation with Germi in her head.
Germi, who has the legitimacy to succeed the boss, but does not know the internal affairs well and has no support base, needs information and a support base.
To gain a base of support, it is necessary to bring down rival Herendal.
It has been achieved
All that remains is to destroy and absorb Herendal’s base of support and make it your own.
The fall of Herendal may not be enough. Unlike Herendal, who was inside the organization, Germi has no performance at all. A good way to quickly increase your earnings is to catch and kill traitors.
He wants to solidify his position by building a foothold with the blood and flesh of traitors.
To do that, you need a man named Johannes who is good at inside affairs. Take will know the internal situation to some extent, but it will be new blood compared to the information you can get from the executive.
Using Take as a guide, he meets Johannes, collects information about the traitors, digs them up, secures evidence, and kills them.
Contrary to Herendal, who became incompetent as a one-armed idiot, if he shows results in purging traitors in the organization, the position of the successor is inevitable.
“My lady, we have arrived.”
The carriage stopped.
“Thermia-san. Wake up for a second.”
“Uhm… Um…”
When I gently shook her shoulders, Thermia buried her face in my lap and started rubbing her head and acting childishly.
Damn, that’s so cute
As I gently touched Thermia’s ear lobe and stroked the back of her back, Thermia slowly opened her eyes.
“Um, oh my… Look at my mind⋯. Sorry. I’m tired…”
“Are you okay. Did you get some sleep?”
“Yes. I slept well because Hanseong’s arms were warm.”
When I got off the carriage, I saw a huge building right across the garden in front of me. It was a building with a cold and lush feeling, as if it were carved out of gray stone.
“My nephew! I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve seen you!”
A series of men appeared across the garden on the side of the building. All of them were big shoulder brothers, but I could see a dark-skinned man among them. His black curly hair showed glimpses of white, as if to prove his age.
“He said he was an uncle, so he wasn’t a prisoner…?”
“Ah, he and Hergel are sworn brothers.”
“Aha…”
Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who had made up their minds to die together at the same time, eventually died in different places.
“What brought you to Westway? It would be dangerous.”
“I want to take over my father’s place.”
“My older brother is pushing Herendal… Have you still not given up?”
Johannes said with a very serious expression, as if admonishing. Seeing that, Germi pointed her finger at the inside of the wagon.
At that gesture, Take dragged out the rag-wrapped Herendal and rolled it under the wagon as if it were being dropped.
“It’s big…!”
“Herendal!”
Johannes turned into rabbit eyes and ran to Herendal, who fell to the floor and coughed.
“Germi! Anyway, he’s your brother! How could this…!”
“The bastard tried to kill me. I was just trying to protect myself. It won’t be hard to follow in your father’s footsteps like that. So, I will take over.”
“My God… Hey! Move Herendal to the bed!”
At the direction of Johannes, the shoulder brothers who came together moved Herendal, who had become a rag, to the mansion.
“Germi. We need to talk…”
As if to follow him, he followed Johannes towards the mansion.
Here, it is Germi’s role to negotiate with Johannes and get him to support him. The only thing I can do, not knowing the inner circumstances of the Black Moon, is to lend my strength to Germi and show off.
Of course, that power isn’t mine, it’s Natalia and Roin’s.
No What belongs to my woman is mine. Therefore, the power of Natalya and the old man is also my power.
In any case, if I show Herendal the broken dog and my strength, Johannes will support Germi.
If you help the next boss, you will benefit yourself.
There is just something that bothers me.
“If Johannes supports you, will they try to kill you?”
“Huh?”
“Since you subdued Herendal, you should have known that your power is quite strong. Is there anyone willing to risk killing you with a strong support named Johannes?”
“Ah…”
At my question, Germi frowned and thought about her.
“There is a possibility that we may just bend over. Well, then there’s no need to bother with blood, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Uhm… It’s not really my taste to have guys under me who don’t know when they’ll hit me in the back of the head.”
“You mean you want to pluck any potential betrayal ahead of time, right?”
“Yes. I will not kill Herendal. No, I guess I can’t kill him yet. So, there is a possibility that those who supported Herendal will kill me and make Herendal the boss if I have a chance.”
“Hmm…”
Just like Germi said, you can’t kill Herendal hastily. No matter how money-driven gangsters, who would believe and follow a boss who kills his own family and has no blood or tears?
“But why do you want to be the boss so much? She said last time she wanted to get married, but Parasira said she didn’t particularly love her little boy. She doesn’t even love her, so why are you trying to marry her?”
“⋯⋯. Marriage is… Yes, there is something I want to check.”
“Check?”
“There is such a thing. It seems to have arrived.”
Germi turned her words hastily at my question and hurried her steps away from beside me.
“I don’t know what.”
“What?”
The old man came over and grabbed my hand.
“I’m missing something…”
“Are you missing something? What?”
“I don’t know exactly Germi’s motives.”
“Motivation?”
“Huh. Germi’s motivation to become the boss. She says she wants to get married, but she doesn’t particularly love Parasi either. She doesn’t even love her, so why would she want to marry her?”
There is a big blank in my head. If you can’t fill that void, you won’t be able to attack Gerumi. But I can’t figure out what the gap is. These days, I’m getting more and more unsure of my thoughts.
