……

David, the butler, was quite capable, after all, he was a follower of the old patriarch... In just a few days, he stabilized the family's situation, and the new senior management began to get things done.

The change of patriarch and the death of Felsgaru cannot be concealed.

Oboro simply released the news.

He wanted to make a high-profile announcement... and also frame the Kenny family for Garrut's death.

The feud between the Fils family and the Kenny family is nothing new. Lily's injuries and her father were both caused by the Kenny family... So, no one would doubt that the Kenny family was responsible for Garu's death.

This is perfectly normal in the underworld. The Kenny family's territory is adjacent to that of the Fils family, and everyone in the underworld knows that the Kenny family has long coveted the casino business and is extremely envious.

When the Fells family experiences turmoil, the first to feel uneasy are inevitably their neighbors who have the advantage of proximity.

Once word got out, it didn't take a day for all the gangs in the area to hear about it...

"Have you found it?"

Inside an office, Kenny's eldest son, Goler, holding an expensive breed of cat, asked his subordinate who knocked on the door.

"We found out... Philsgaru and his bodyguards are all dead... and they've lost a lot of manpower. The higher-ups have all been replaced, and their family is now severely weakened. The new family head, Obo, is said to be a distant relative of old ghost Maibo... but there's probably something fishy going on. The Philsgaru family's higher-ups were all removed overnight. For an outsider to become the family head without any warning is probably not simple."

His subordinates were analyzing it.

"As for the killer of Filsgaru... there are currently no leads. Their family has kept it very secret, and not many people know the truth... but they have been leaking the news that we were the ones who killed Garu..."

"Hmph, the only one with brains in the Fils family is that woman... Garu is just charging ahead with brute force and ruthlessness. Besides, his bodyguards are also very capable... Casinos are places where you can make a lot of money... With money, the people he can hire are naturally of high quality... But now... this is a rare opportunity."

"Interesting... If it were you, would you protect the murderer or your enemy?"

The subordinate shook his head.

Kennegor stroked the cat's back. "But... announcing the new head of the family so quickly, isn't that exposing a weakness? Or do they think... the Ten Elders will stand up for them? I'm afraid... even if we talk about the Fils family, the Ten Elders might not even remember them..."

"Does the boss think there's something fishy going on here?"

His subordinates understood what he meant.

"The Fils family has been making a lot of moves these past few days, with most of their people deployed to their casinos for security, presumably as a precaution... There aren't many left at the group's headquarters..."

"There aren't many people at the group headquarters?"

Gore's eyelids twitched. The pet cat he had liked just a second ago was suddenly grabbed by the neck and roughly thrown away.

The cat let out a scream.

"So, it seems that Philles Lily and that butler named David may have already secretly slipped away and moved to a new place... Even if they've run away, the Philles family's main businesses are still there... They're just being careful not to be found by us! That building is the symbol of the Philles family... They've even abandoned their headquarters; they're truly at their wits' end, utterly pathetic..."

"That new head of the family was nothing but a scapegoat... used as a shield, huh! No wonder..."

Göller interlaced his fingers, deep in thought.

"Their family has a large cash flow from casinos, so we can't afford to waste time... Otherwise, we can quickly replenish our manpower and boost morale with money. Even if we can't completely swallow them up, taking over the Fils family's headquarters, plus some casinos, and taking a piece of their fat territory doesn't seem like a bad idea..."

No matter what tricks they're up to, it's worth a try!

"Go get someone!"

"Also, let the people in Cork know that the gang is on a mission tonight!"

"understand!"

The subordinate nodded and hurriedly went to do as instructed.

38. Head of household

Cork is unusually quiet tonight.

Standing on the rooftop of the Fils Group headquarters building, Long looked down at the dark streets and buildings below, feeling the cold wind blowing.

The calm before the storm!

The Kenny family has made a move... otherwise, there would be a lot of people around.

The area has been sealed off.

One has to marvel at the influence of gangs in normal society... In short, even city officials dare not disobey them.

Woo woo woo...

Suddenly, Long lifted his eyelids and saw beams of car lights appearing in the darkness in the distance... more and more, densely packed.

People poured in from all directions and streets, completely surrounding the Fils Building.

Then came the Mafia members getting out of the car... At a glance, there were over a thousand of them, a truly massive scene!

It really feels like a massive army is pressing in!

Oboro sensed Nen energy; there were several Nen users in the Kenny family's group.

The Kenny family is involved in smuggling. Although they can't compare to the Phils in terms of financial resources, their gang members are all very fierce... They are considered a fairly well-known and ruthless force among the middle-level powers in the country, and other families dare not offend them easily.

Without any warning or preparation, the gangsters got out of their cars and immediately started firing at the building. At the same time, heavily armed men appeared on the ground floor of the Fils Building... The two forces began a fierce confrontation.

In an instant, artillery fire roared and smoke filled the air.

Flashes of light and deafening shouts of killing could be heard...

The two sides exchanged fire, and many vehicles were shot through and destroyed in a short time. The green belts and vegetation on both sides of the road were also destroyed into fragments and dust. The scene unfolding before my eyes was even more real and shocking than what I had seen in movies in my previous life!

From machine gun duels to hand-to-hand combat with blades... ordinary gang members use these opportunities to rise to the top!

Bloodshed is the essence of gangster survival...

Luck and ability determine whether you can succeed.

There are people who succeed through their intelligence, but they are a minority.

Long took a few steps forward and stood on the edge of the rooftop. Looking down, she saw a drop of nearly a hundred meters into the air...

"This is... a true corner of this world..."

He observed the black dots on the ground, like ants tearing at each other, and muttered something under his breath.

The death and deviation of life, at this moment, under the darkness of Cork, intertwined with gunpowder, became a hymn of hellish devastation.

"Hahaha...Found it!"

"So... you were hiding here, the puppet of the Fels family... the newly appointed leader."

Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from behind Oboro.

Tonight, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, without any stars to adorn it. As the light shines down, it casts long, hazy shadows on the ground, and this person emerges from those shadows.

Upon seeing Oboro, he stuck out a disgusting tongue dripping with saliva and said smugly.

This guy was disheveled and dressed very sloppily, as if he hadn't showered in months. Even from several meters away, Oboro could smell his body odor.

Long remained motionless, without turning around, but simply looked up at the full moon overhead. "The moonlight is beautiful tonight, don't you think?"

The Nen user was stunned.

I also glanced at the moon…

What's so beautiful about it?

Isn't this a normal night view?

Long slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket, letting the wind make it crackle and pop.

"So you know you can't escape death, so you're planning to jump off the building?" The Nen user, Guan Long, stood with his hands in his pockets, showing no sign of nervousness or fear at his arrival. He closed his eyes, as if feeling the breeze and the commotion of the city below, and said coldly, "Our boss has instructed that we capture him alive... Even if you want to die, it won't be that easy!"

Suddenly, Oboro turned around and faced the other person directly.

With a smile, she took a step back, one foot dangling in mid-air, "Try... to stop me..."

After saying that, his body began to fall freely downwards.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that he was serious, the Nen user's expression changed drastically. He swooped down and stretched out his arm just as Oboro was about to disappear from sight.

Just as he was about to grab the other person, suddenly, the person realized that his gaze had shifted and he heard a faint sound... He passed by Oboro and flew away, but his body remained on the edge of the rooftop, still in a forward-leaning and grabbing posture.

He saw his body being grabbed by the man and lifted into the air, falling to the ground.

In one of the man's hands, he held a gleaming dagger.

"I'm... all I have left is a head..."

"He just... in that instant... chopped my head off..."

Before his vision went completely black, a vague thought surfaced in his mind.

The Kenny family was numerous and powerful, and their firepower was on a completely different level from that of the Fells family. Even with the cover and defenses inside the building, they were no match for the enemy's relentless attacks.

Within minutes... the Kenny family's mafia broke through the Fils family's defenses and stormed into the building.

The gang members on Phils' side were either dead or wounded, suffering repeated defeats, and few remained.

Behind the Kenny family's camp, Goler sat in a bulletproof car with his pet cat, unmoved, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him... He even had the mood to play with a cat toy.

The car window rolled down automatically, and a subordinate standing outside the door reported, "Boss, they can't hold out any longer... Our men have entered the building."

"Where's the scapegoat?"

"Gorler said calmly."

"Fuji has already gone to look for him..."

The car door opened, and Gorler stepped out. The men protecting him immediately bowed and called out, "Boss!"

Looking at the pitch-black building before him, devoid of any lights, Goler laughed, "Do you know how much money Philsmaibo spent building this building back then? He put in a lot of effort to establish the Phils family's reputation in the underworld... Now, it's mine!"

"Congratulations, boss!"

Even among their own men, these respectful Mafia members kept a certain distance from Gore's car; only three people were allowed to approach it.

Furthermore, their attire was not in the style of a gangster; they were simply dressed in civilian clothes.

"The boss guessed right, that girl probably ran away..."

On the left, a young man in a tight leather jacket, resembling a rock musician, spoke up.

"Running away is the right thing to do; it means she's not stupid."
