163 Wades & Schemes II : Justice Begins (1/2)
Penny and Kira made their way back to the conference room before I did, giving me enough time to make a call before I came back. Sure they might feel like they've got me cornered at the moment, but I've got my own plans. Politics was like building fragile and delicate blocks around a particular situation or scenario, and this blocks could be manipulated or moved around at your discretion, causing a significant amount of misdirection if you wanted. Smokes and mirrors people say, politics was the oldest form of magic tricks, but in the face of brute stupidity and straight forward actions, most schemes tend to fall apart.
I shook my head as I came back in, steel etched allover my face as I went back to my seat, Penny had an open file in front of her, which was probably the documents facilitating the transfer of shares from them to me. As my lawyer it would her job to look through it and make sure there was no sort of political loophole for them to exploit later, well it's not as if there would be a later anyway.
”Before I sign all this shit and give you people a chance to run, before tracking you down and pouring molten lead down your throat, whatever did my mother and myself included ever do to you guys that you killed her and tried having me killed? Even if you weren't my father I loved you like one, I would have given anything just to have your approval, yet you tried to have me killed...…you poor fool. Even without the power and protection afforded me by the Wade family, do I look like someone who's easy to kill? It would take every major country in the world coming together to actually kill me, not unless they decided to drop a nuke on my head. I think that's the only thing they never tried, but none the less you wanted to try and used our sister to pull the trigger.
Just so you know, and not that you care, but she's fine. She was playing a game of her own the entire time, and she did get what she wanted. We really are his children, lies, betrayal and murder, the true Wade way.”
I closed my eyes and covered my forehead with my hand, honestly it was quite tiring. You would expect a man's family to be the one thing eh could actually count on, but it seems the Bible was right after all. ”A man's worst enemy is from his own household”. I doubt they would have any sort of answers for me, but still I've really suffered at their fucking hands.
”Don't you dare play the victim here! Your damn mother caused my daughter's death! She infected her with a techno-organic virus! I wanted to make her pay! This was all her fault!” I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Knowing my former step mother, I knew she would not be able to resist talking back, not that it would have changed anything, but still; the look of horror on the face of her husband and son's more than proved their greatest fears had come to life, the bitch had opened her mouth.
”Well was this before or after you tried to get me killed?”
”What?” she asked confused at not just my question, but the fact that I was able to reign in my anger at her outburst.
”Well you see, I have call recording of the night my mom was killed, plus the name of the guy who did the killing, your name mentioned a couple million times, plus all of your schemes and the fact you absolutely didn't give a shit about your daughter. You were happy to use your daughter as bait just to get my mother out of the way, after all what you were after was power, full and girls control over the Wade industry and our dark empire.
My mom was in the way, not just with what she had achieved ever since she took over the virtual reality department, of the fact that the shares you and your fucking husband now have actually belonged to her, which is I should remember was supposed to be handed over to me when I hit 23, which last I remember was last year. But that's besides the point, you folks were greedy, so greedy you contemplated murder and fucked with a woman who was more vindictive than God himself, and your daughter became collateral damage in this fight of yours. Also just so you know, she's still alive or at least her mind is. She's in the game right now, wreaking havoc as fucking virus, tortured because you were unable to focus and save her.
You're a terrible mother, and before I kill you, I'm going to humiliate you and your husband and children will watch, and then you will watch me torture them too. You think Exile will keep you safe from me, I doubt there's a place on this world or off it you guys can run too and I won't be able to find you. Punishment is inevitable, pain is guaranteed. And nothing, not even the Wade family will save you from me.”
”Ai! Little Aaron, I know you're angry but calm down, we're family here. Besides the Right Of Exile prevents you from acting, you'll take everything they own and I return they become vagabonds, no longer a part if the family. You would have punished them enough by them, so calm down...” I looked at Uncle And said to him with a voice so cold even I could feel chills.
”Don't patronize me Old man!”
It was at that moment that Penny walked to my side and dropped the contract in front of me with a pen she pulled out of her suit pocket. Then she used a handkerchief to pick up the fountain pen placed on the contract and these it at Henry who hastily ducked out of the way, more eyebrows were raised.
”A poisoned pen? Seriously? No wonder you guys avoided using a digital contract. Apart from the fact that the poison on that thing wouldn't have been able to kill him, his not really a normal human anymore, the fact you would try to use a mob family's special way of killing against a mob boss is just stupid. Sign it Aaron.”
