The Last Agosti ✔

~* 32 *~

Bernardo walked through the crowded hall towards the East wing of Moretti House.

One of his servant had informed him that he was summoned to his office room immediately.

He knew who would have dared to leave the party hall and get into his office room.

Bernardo checked the hallway before barging into the room.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you, we should not be having private meeting today!" Bernardo spoke with much irritation in his tone.

Gasparo D'Luca was seated in one of the leather seat in front of the huge mahogany desk.

"Obviously to know why you called me to abort my new plan! And who cares about what you tell me to do?" Gasparo growled, lighting his cigar.

Taking a couple of puff from the cigar, Bernardo spoke again. "Why I should not start my plan? It was a prefect one and everything will be ours in no time but you. You want me to stop?"

"I don't think it's the right time. Not today."

"Then when shall we execute it? I'm done waiting, Benny!"

"Listen, you don't have to do anything from now on. There is no need for it, Gasparo"

"What do you mean?"

"I have found the Ara Agosti everyone was looking for" Bernardo now seated on the huge leather seat opposite Gasparo.

"You found her? How?"

"Simple. I used the information Mario collected before. I made a wild guess and approached her. Apparently, she already knew who she is" Bernardo drummed his fingers on the table.

"That means the company will go to her! What are you going to do, Benny?

Or shall I use my men to threaten her to follow our instruction?" Gasparo became impatient. All he wants was destruction.

"Relax, amico. Just watch"

Bernardo chose to stay in the room a little while before joining the rest for the party.

His gazed as far as his vision could go, standing by the window he recalled the day he succeeded in turning Gasparo completely against Demetrio.

An evil smirk works across his face.

After accidentally overhearing Gasparo conversation regarding his Underworld works. Which one of it was illegal unregistered firearm business.

Bernardo used it as his starting point for his plan.

Gasparo and Demetrio's reunion was a genuine reunion, it was never an intentional one.

But Bernardo used it for his purpose by bringing Gasparo forgotten sorrow against Demetrio.

During a casual talk between Bernardo and Gasparo, the former brought in the topic of the latter's father.

Gasparo's father was ill at that time.

"How's father, Gasparo?" Bernardo asked.

"No improvement. Still the same"

Flicking the cigar butt, Bernardo moved slowly in his plan. "His health deteriorated after his went to jail, isn't it?" Faking his sympathy.

Gasparo nodded.

"Had he not gone to jail, he wouldn't be like this. I told Demetrio not to do that" Bernardo shook his head as if he was really feeling for Gasparo's father.

"Demetrio was right, Benny. I realised it was wrong to spoil children with drugs. I understood when I had hard time studying while addicted to drugs.
