Pretending to Be an Untouchable Crime Boss-Chapter 194: Fall of the Silas Family.

It was actually kinda blame… the whole situation about Aburey was just blame. He was kinda dog that only barked but didn’t bite, like not even a single gunshot, not even a single will from his men to protect themselves or protect him. They just put down the weapons and surrendered themselves even though they were preparing to launch an attack on James… or maybe they knew that they were fucked in the moment Aburey was accepted back into the family as the boss of it.

Everybody hated him, even in the low levels, but he was the only one that was blood-related after his father, and even though he was kicked out, the old rules, the rules that the family was built upon only allowed a blood-related one to take his place… like a kingdom system, a royal one.

But just like in kingdoms, not once it happened that the heir wasn’t accepted by the people, and that’s what happened with Aburey.

They all just acted it okay, that they were all loyal to him, but everybody knew one thing, if shit goes bad, they are dipping and surrendering in the moment… and when the helicopter and the raid vehicles showed up, that’s exactly what they did… it’s better to be alive in jail than die for a man you hate.

The reason for Aburey’s hate is simple, he was an egotist little boy who thought he is over everything and can do everything because of his father. He did not respect his men, not even the underboss of the family, let alone anyone, and his hate for James was the final blow for everything.

Everyone knew James, and they were scared of him and got even more scared when they realized that the old man cut down his finger and sent it to him. That was something so unbelievable that just screamed to not fuck with James.

Aburey wasn’t ready to take over a family, wasn’t ready to lead people, because the power and influence took over him.

So yeah, Aburey’s quick rise to the throne immediately was over, as Stephen killed him the fuck off in the same office where his father kicked him out of the family. He was just there sitting and talking with the higher-ups when all of it happened, when he looked out the window seeing fully armed agents rushing in, seeing how his men laid down their weapons and kneeled.

First he thought nothing about it, like he is a Silas, his father’s legacy is behind him… what can they do against him?

Nothing. Yeah, he thought he was untouchable like his father was for decades, with the connections, the bribes, so he just calmed down everybody and sat back down and waited for the door to bust down, and it happened in a way he never thought about.

He thought he was in a movie or something. His expectation was that one agent would walk in, say to him that he’s under arrest or something, and would just stare down at him, and he would get intimidated and that’s it… he lives on.

But hell nah, that’s not what happened.

The door was busted down by hammers, and then like six flashbangs were thrown in. The explosion fucked up them so much that the higher-ups immediately laid down on the floor giving themselves up, while Aburey still believed in himself and the legacy and remained in his father’s chair, only seeing the agents rushing in, shouting and pointing weapons at him, and still in that moment where he was supposed to feel fear and worry, he still thought he was going to win it as he saw Stephen casually walk in with a bulletproof vest on his suit and a pistol in his hand.

Yeah, that was what he waited for to see some big dog walk in that he could bribe off, that he could intimidate.

But he didn’t even have the chance to say anything as Stephen raised his pistol and shot him up.

That was it, the legacy he was proud of, the legacy he wanted to rule with, was over with a couple of gunshots to his chest. No arrest, no interrogation, nothing. They came with one sole purpose, to end it all.

What Silas Ricci built upon decades with blood and hard work was over within hours. His son died like a dog, like how he deserved to die, and with it, the last remnant of the Silas family was over.

The old rules of the underworld all died. Silas, Lucian, they were gone, giving the next generation the rules, and moreover, they were examples… the biggest examples of how an empire can crumble, but now a new problem just opened up in the underworld… with the Silas family wiped, all of their assets, all of the routes, the deals… a big percent of the market is there for someone to grab it and become the next big name.

With Marco, Isabella, and now the Silas family, these problems will be the most obvious to the government and to James himself. Even though it was clear to them that all of this would fall to the government and into James’s hands, it wasn’t that obvious to others, the smaller players who wanted to show their name, that wanted to rule, to become the next ones.

The opportunity was there. The drug market now literally has no people to serve the need, no seller, no producer. But… a billion-dollar market is alone… but of course, they also thought about this. That’s why the president’s announcement on the matter will be the most crucial, what he’s going to say and what expression he’s going to have on the public, but moreover on the gangs and families… he needs to scare them, to show that he finally stepped up against crime, even if it’s just an act.

That’s exactly why Stephen’s last order was to immediately photograph Aburey body and his higher-ups and send it back to Linda… and that was it.

He was tired as fuck, near 7 in the morning, and he’d slept nothing since yesterday. So while his men did the investigation and arrests like how they legitimately do it, he went back to the Ministry, back to Linda, and immediately got knocked out sleeping on the floor.

But they made a crucial mistake that they didn’t even think about, like not even in the beginning. A mistake that, if it goes wrong, everything will be fucked up even more.

The prison and the sentencing.

The justice system is a joke, like how the prison is a joke, at least for the simple soldiers of the families and gang members. The prison and justice system are only good for the higher-ups. Like, they are the only ones that get the worst treatment, the daily beatings, no sunlights, in a 2-by-2 concrete cell… but the soldiers are another thing.

They just usually get thrown into prison for some years or even serve half a year, and they get out and scatter all over again, because there wasn’t any evidence on them. The only investigated the higher ups, and how the fuck would they investigate every single person, worker, solider… that would take years to do so especally right now. freewebnoveℓ.com

With this, it just became worse, as Linda thought about it, because now Marco, Isabella, and the Silas family’s men will all be arrested. How the fuck are they going to sentence them and put them into prison when the capacity of those is already full of other criminals… and not just that, after they get out of prison, they will be just more furious to fuck over everything.

That needs a fix, and well, the President was ready to take a step that only has two outcomes.

One, it will cause so much outrage that his career will be over with it.

Second, people will actually like it.

A fifty-fifty was risky, but he needed to do something, and if people actually like and accept it, it will take this whole operation to another level, because he was up all night reading files, studying who is who and getting more information about everything. He literally read through the reports that Linda sent him, all of it. He read through all of the reports to be sure there were no loopholes in it, no cracks that people could see through.

He was ready to rewrite the rules, and he had the power to do so, especially after Carter’s death, and he knew he needed to do something that will appeal to the people, that will give them answers, that will calm them down, and realize that this government is for them, even though in the last year all they did was steal money and do the utmost to fill their pockets… and well, he still wanted to do it, and knowing that the election soon came, he needed to write it in stone that he will be the one reelected to sit again at the top.

To do that, he had the power to grab the people’s trust, he would do everything, and he was ready for it.
