Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 269: Friends and Frenemies - III

Samuel was the one to break the silence first. " I would like to go ahead with it."

"That’s it?" Vincenzo questioned. "that is all it takes for you?"

Salvatore raised a brow. "Why?"

"Exactly," Giovanni agreed, "what part of it is something you cannot agree with? When the word gets out that we are still friends and have each other’s back, do you know how powerful we are going to be?"

That was alone very powerful enough. Knowing that One organisation was backed by several others is the dangerous thing to mess with.

"I can agree with that," Matvey added, " I could use some help to overthrow my uncle."

Ah, yes. His uncle was still a problem. Maksim Ivanov was still alive and breathing and until he was there, Matvey could not claim his right to the Russian mafia Throne.

"Ask when needed," Salvatore nodded at him. "I will be ready to provide you with men and ammunition." He was. Anything for his friend.

"Count me in," Murphy added, "it has been too long since some action has come my way."

Giovanni chuckled loudly. "That is what excites you?!" His words were heavily affected by the Spanish accent.

"Meh," Adrain Murphy shrugged. "although, if I must admit I do have some big action coming my way. There is a man involved in human trafficking And moreover, he is operating in my area."

The mood of the entire room visibly dimmed at the word human trafficking. Something none of them agreed with.

Matvey hissed. "You are going to have a big problem with it because my Uncle is involved."

When everyone looked at him, he further explained, "He generates massive revenue from that and there is no way in hell he’s going to let it go."

"Who?" Vincenzo questioned. If Russia was involved in the matter of time, someone went for France in it too. Shit like this always seemed to stretch far ahead.

"Someone named," Adrian clicked his fingers as he tried to remember the word, "Matteo Rocci."

Salvatore’s head snapped up. "Who?"

"You heard me."

"Yes but," he realised and his eyes widened, "fuck."

"What?" Vincenzo asked, " I am not appreciating the fact that you both know someone who is carrying out trafficking." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Not only is he carrying out trafficking, he got into my fucking home and attacked me more than twice." Salvatore seethed out, his anger taking over. "That means is more powerful than I anticipated because if he is trafficking people, he has more connections than I thought he did."

Which would explain why he had the manpower to cause him damage in his own house.

"I suppose I would be the first one to join the priesthood." Adrian smirked. " because it sure as hell is not going to be easy taking down that man."

When it concerned trafficking, the business alone made many friends than it had enemies. The connections that it provided were huge and massive in nature alone enough to protect the business legally which meant illegally, a lot of things could be done.

It could not take just one organisation alone to bring down the trafficking business that had once been brought down by their fathers alone and without support of each other but once it resurfaced, people were more powerful and bigger than before.

"Well," Matvey sighed and stood up straight instead of leaning against the wall as he did previously, "I would be the second. I have no shame in admitting I need help."

Salvatore knew of that but he didn’t interfere, knowing that it wouldn’t be right unless they had an alliance officially.

But if matvey was ready then so be it.

"We would help you regardless, all you had to say was the word, my friend." Giovanni slapped his hand on the back of his shoulder. "The word and we will all be there to attack in your name."

Samuel clapped his hands. "And I have made my intentions quiet earlier. So, Vincenzo, what do you say?"

He looked at the face of his friend before sighed but was cut off with a vibration that almost everyone heard.

"Yes?" The french don spoke into the phone before he frowned. "When? Since how long?"

They could hear someone say something but it was unclear given they were at a distance.

Finally, after a few moments, he finally hung up on the person and slipped the phone inside his pocket.

"Well," he sighed and ran a hand on his tired face, "I would say I am in too."

"Why you?" Adrian didn’t beat around the bush. " You are a son of a bitch who does not do anything unless you receive something in return. You just had the same problem as us, didn’t you?"

Vincenzo glared at the man. "Mind you business, yeah?"

"Naah," Matvey smiled with a twinkle in his eyes, "tell us, Or we all might choose to back out."

Vincenzo’s eyes narrowed at the man and the others laughed under their breaths. It was always fun to get inside the skin of the man and irritate him.

"Tell, my friend." Giovanni grinned. " My fickle mind might back out of it."

"Fuck off, yeah?" The french don barked.

"Fuck off of the allainc you mean?" Salvatore teased before moving towards their door, "if you say so."

"Fuck it, Salvatore!"

"Hah!" Adrain laughed the loudest. " Look at who is losing his control now."

Standing in the room after more than 10 years made him realise how much nothing had changed while everything had. They had moved on with their lives, with or without partners but it definitely had. They were now living the life dreamed of living about and dreaded at the same time.

Get in this room, all five of them were best friends that still remains the same.

"Blood vow it is then." The next words he spoke cut the easy-going atmosphere in the room. "we seal the alliance with blood."

All the men in the room agreed.
