Chapter 530 - Real or Fake and Right or Wrong 1 (1/2)
Mo Jue ordered Ding Ke to send people to hide at every corner of the meeting venue to ensure their safety. If anything happened they could evacuate safely. Ding Ke also sent some people to keep a watch out for them from a dominant position, just in case they sent the government troops over.
Mo Jue brought Ye Wei to the location when it was eight at night. They reached a very secretive private clubhouse which was opened by the younger sister of one of the member of the parliament. Mo Ye would meet the officials here most of the time.
There was a conference hall on the fourth floor and the thirteen Italian officials had already reached when Mo Jue and Ye Wei went up. All of them were seated at their seats and there were two bodyguards behind each of them, and their gaze looked sharp and alert.
Mo Jue harrumphed in his heart as being so well-equipped was already a sign of basic mistrust. These officials were very close with Louis and their interest were split clearly, with the officials getting most of the profits. Therefore, it was natural for them to like Louis as the G.o.dfather. After Louis stepped down and Mo Ye became the G.o.dfather, the situation had obviously changed and they did not like Mo Ye.
Yet, they could not not rely on Mo Ye’s power and was afraid that Mo Ye would kill them if they forced him. Since there was already a prior case, they were always nervous when they met him and would bring people along to protect themselves.
Other than personal bodyguards, there was also a troop of soldiers around the clubhouse to ensure their safety. It was an irony compared to Mo Jue’s casual outfit and he only brought a woman to the meeting.
At least Mo Jue didn’t look so well-prepared on the surface, therefore not showing how he did not trust them.
He wore contact lens and instantly became Mo Ye as the only difference between the two of them was their eyes. Once the color of their eyes was the same, n.o.body could tell them apart, unless it was people like Ye Wei and Ding Ke who knew them well.
“Mr. Mo, please have a seat!” said one of the officials. Ding Ke had already sent him the information of the officials before they came and they were all from the same party. They were the only party supporting the mafia and were also the backbone of the government.
Mo Jue sat down and Ye Wei stood beside him. There was a tall and domineering official that looked like he was around fifty years-old that sat opposite Mo Jue. He looked at Ye Wei and asked. “Where is Mr. Ding? Did Mr. Mo change your subordinate this time? It is rare for a lady to attend such events.”
What he meant was that he did not trust women, and he even looked down on them.
Ye Wei showed him a seductive smile and Mo Jue’s eyes darkened. Everyone could sense that he was unhappy and the whole room was filled with an eerie and dangerous atmosphere.
The person was shocked and thought that Mo Jue would be angry, but who knew that Mo Jue replied coldly. “It seems like Mr. Beth miss my subordinate a lot.”
Mr. Beth knew what he meant and did not ask any further.
“What it is that all of you are looking for me so anxiously?” Mo Jue asked coldly.
Mr. Beth was the representative of these officials and was in charge of liaising with Mo Ye. But, there was actually someone a rank above him, but the person could not appear due to his status and could only let Mr. Beth represent him.
He was the deputy defence minister of Italy.
Mr. Beth quickly went through what happened between the mafia and the top terrorist organization and even a.n.a.lyzed the global situation that the Italy government was recently facing. He was angry because of the international influence caused by the mafia and said flatly. “Mr. Mo, you did not fulfil anything that you promised us at the start. You even caused harm to our country’s interest. Please give us an explanation on this.”
“There is nothing new about the conflict between the mafia and the top terrorist organization, isn’t funny that you want an explanation now?” Mo Jue sneered. Why did they forget about the explanation when they profited from the chaos.
Hmmph! They took mean advantage of us when we were down.
“Conflict, is this a simple conflict? The Mafia’s headquarter was blown off by them yet you could brush it off so easily?” An official was not happy with Mo Jue’s arrogance and was so angry that his face went red.
“Exactly, you’re the G.o.dfather yet you can’t even protect the headquarter, what a joke.”
Ye Wei wanted to laugh…
Mo Jue suddenly slammed the table. “Shut up!”
It suddenly became quiet in the conference hall as the man’s domineering voice sounded very frightening. Mo Jue’s gaze was like a knife. “Have you guys mistaken something? The Mafia’s headquarter being blown away happened during Louis’ time, what has it got to do with us?”
Mr. Beth smiled and said faintly. “Mr. Mo, although it happened when Louis was the G.o.dfather, Louis was already just a puppet during that time. Do you dare to say that it is none of your responsibility? The headquarter would not have been destroyed by others if you are capable.”
He said it faintly, but his words were incisive.
Ye Wei sighed secretly. He was indeed someone in the political realm and Mo Jue beauty was not as eloquent as him and they were not even on the same level. Mo Ye might have been able to talk back.
Mo Jue was very angry. If not for the fact that he had promised Ye Wei with regards to some stupid rule of enduring the small things to accomplish the big things, he would have taken out his gun and killed them. Whoever dared to talk bad about his brother was courting death!
“Mr. Mo, I think you should stop finding excuses.” One of the officials said with an ice-cold smile. “The mafia did have some friction with The Top Terrorist Organization during Louis’ time, but both of them kept each other in check and balance. The Top Terrorist Organization did not dare to be too arrogant even if they had the upper hand and did not dare to hurt the interest of the mafia and our country. But you…”
“Hmmph, ever since you became the G.o.dfather, the mafia was always in a chaos. The headquarter was destroyed, our territories were s.n.a.t.c.hed and we even have to resort to selling drugs and smuggling artefacts. Don’t think that we don’t know about how you stole the famous painting in UK and sold it at a high price.”
