Chapter 18: Getting Answers #3

Grysilia was located in a ally way in the slums of La Breon. The mob members were in a tavern across the street having a good laugh.

A warp gate open behind Grysilia no one was in the street to see it open.Grysilia turned around , bowed and greeted Shoto.

"They are in there Sir" she pointed at the tavern across the street.

"Sage"

[Increasing audio reception]

Shoto's hearing amplified and he could hear what the five men were saying.

"Damn that was quite the job" the one with a small mustache said.

"That grandma was pretty tough I almost lost an eye"

"She still looked good I should have fucked her"

"Hey did you bring the Halfling's arm?"

"Nah I drop it while trying to escape"

"Sucks for you huh well I got this when I was fighting that other chick it looked like it was powering that magic tool" one them said taking out the fire crystal.

"Are going to sell it?"

"He can't it has to go to captain Santino then he'll give it to the boss you'll get your share once the boss sells it"

"Really?" The mob member looked disappointed.

"Yes that's how we work the boss has to profit and don't complain your just an associate" the mustache mobster said

"When are we going to be 'made'?"

"I don't know" mustache mobster answered.

They talked nonsense for a while before the mustache mobster said.

"Is time to meet up with the captain"

They all left the tavern without paying and went deeper into the slums. Shoto and Grysilia stealth fully followed them towards an abandoned area of the slums.

Before the could enter the zone a blue mist binded stopping them from walking. The mist dragged them into an vacated shack were the met Shoto and Grysilia. Grysilia manipulated the blue mist to make the five men kneel, the couldn't say anything as they were gagged by the mist.

Shoto looked at the one who cut off Luca's arm, with his to fingers he manifested <Water Blade> an cut off both the man's arms and legs. Grysilia removed the gag and heard him scream. When the others saw this they new they were in trouble and tried to bag thier way out.

Shoto looked at the one who beat up Brianna, she was bleeding allover when he found her. Shoto used <Force Control> and began folding his body into a ball. Shoto was trying to compress him without making him explode. The sound of bones cracking and flesh squishing filled the room then

pop!

His body exploded and blood splattered over everyone. Now three man were left , one was bleeding out without limbs, the other was squished into a ball and exploded they didn't want to imagine what would be done to them.

Shoto came to the one who brought Dorothy's leg the man began pissing his pants he knew it was his turn. Shoto lifting him up with <Force Control> and twisted all his limbs then organs letting him die slowly on the ground.

Now two remained the two that beat up grandma Vivi, Shoto looked at the one that that talked about raping grandma Vivi.

pop!

Shoto popped his testicles with <Force Control> then shattered his rib cage causing some ribs to stab his lungs letting him bleeding internally. Now only the mustache mobster was left.

Shoto put his hands on the mustache mobster's shoulders "I think I set a good example so if you don't co-operate your death will be worse then thiers got it"

The mustache mobster shook his head in agreement. The mustache mobster was released from the mist bindings and he stood up with a wet patch on his pants.

"Your going to take me to your captain Santino"

Mustache mobster nodded and lead the way in the abandoned area. Only the poorest of the poor lived in this area this is wear the third crew of the Mariposa crime family was located.

The mustache mobster knocked on the door of  a building it looked like a bar. Something one looked through the peephole then open the door for the mustache mobster.

"Ro-"

Swish!!

Just as the mustache mobster was about to enter he was split in half by Shoto's water blade. The mobster who opened the door wanted to scream but a dense pressure fell upon the entire room forcing everyone to the floor.

step! step! step!

Shoto and Grysilia entered the room before closing the door behind them. The were about fifteen made members and six associates in the bar. Shoto took a chair and sat down while Grysilia stood behind him.

"Who is Santino?" Shoto asked.

"That's.. me" a man with light brown curly hair spoke up.

Santino was pressed against the ground like all the other mob members. It was a surprise that he managed to speak with such pressure on him. Shoto lessened the pressure around Santino so he would only be kneeling.

"Santino five of your guys pulled a job today they l destroyed an Inn"

Santino's was calm he didn't show any reaction to what Shoto was saying. Shoto continued speaking.

"An Inn that I was staying at an in the  process my people got hurt now you see any other person would have killed you and be done with it but you see something doesn't add up for me"

"Why would the mafia destroy a establishment that was bringing in money for them? It doesn't make sense so I need answers from you Santino"

"I-"

"If you say you know nothing the families of every man in the room will die so choose your next words very carefully" Santino was warned.

Santino wasn't an idiot his intuition told him Shoto wasn't joking,he smelled a lot of blood on Shoto.

He looked back at his man who had been trembling they were afraid for thier families.Now he was thinking betray the oath and live or keep it and let the families of all his trusted men die. Santino chose the former.

He bit his tongue before speaking."Boss Mariposa ordered us to destroy the Inn because he had made a deal with the leader of the Bran Merchant Group"

"Oh so Bran is colluding with the you guys"

"Yes Bran sells our drugs and we help him stay at the top of the La Breon business world" Santino had already broken the oath he revealed more to guarantee the lives of his men.

"So you protect him?"

"Yes"

Shoto stroked his chin things had gotten tricky if Bran was destroyed the Mariposa family would take over the town making things harder for him. The only way to deal with Bran was the remove his protection, the entire Mariposa family had to go. Of course Shoto could just go killing people around La Breon he needed a smart way to do it.

"Santino I have a proposal for you" Shoto walked towards the kneeling mafia captain and stood before him.

"Work for me" Shoto said to Santino.
