The Devil JOVE's
65. The Mafia is the Mafia

“Good morning, Mr Cadenza, Mrs Elzavat!” greet Franklin while lowering his head as soon as the owner of the house appears. Right at six in the morning Franklin was already at the Lin family residence with the intention of wanting to deliver a message from his boss last night.

“Good morning back, Franklin,” Cadenza said as she tried to calm her racing heart. He believes that one hundred percent of Franklin's arrival in this house must be because he wants to deliver bad news about his daughter.

Seeing the appearance of his accomplice Jove in this house makes Elzavat feel uneasy. Moreover, after last night Fidel informed that Casandra was brought back to Jove's house, Elzavat became increasingly convinced that Franklin's arrival must have brought its own purpose. Intrigued by this, Elzavat immediately invited Franklin to sit down and asked him a few questions.

“Franklin, can you tell us what really happened? Last night Fidel told us that there were some people who came to attack while Casandra was having dinner with Jove. Could this have something to do with the scarcity of blood in our daughter's body?”

Before answering Mrs Elzavat's question, Frankli first glanced at Fidel who had just arrived. He then smiled a thin smile when he found Fidel who was surprised to see his presence in this house. Not wanting to make the host wait, Franklin clearly conveyed a message from his boss.

“Your question is not entirely wrong, Mrs Elzavat. But my purpose in coming to this house is not to discuss the problem that happened last night!” said Franklin flat. “It is true that last night there was an unexpected attack from some people who are our enemies. Hence Mr. Jove brought Miss Casandra back to the mansion. The goal is one, to ensure its safety only. And regarding Miss Casandra's blood scarcity issue, Mr. Jove has asked me to tell you both that from last night Miss Casandra will be staying at the mansion with us. If you object and do not accept Mr. Jove's decision, he said he would marry Miss Casandra today!”

“A-what?!”

Cadenza squealed strongly. He stood up in shock to hear the message Franklin had just delivered.

Casandra married Jove? This fast? My God, should I let my daughter just marry a dangerous man like Jove? What if Casandra becomes the target of his enemies who are a group of bandits without conscience? What am I supposed to do now?

“But Franklin, why should it be this sudden? After all, between Casandra and Jove, there is no relationship. Is it possible for the two of them to get married?” asked Elzavat while mer*mas his fingers. Elzavat had entrusted Casandra completely to Jove, but she had never imagined that Jove would act so quickly. Should he let his favorite daughter marry a man who is a mobster?

“Mrs Elzavat, I understand what you and your husband think. However, please be aware that Miss Casandra's safety will be more assured if it is under our full supervision. Without having to explain you should already know not what kind of danger is targeting your daughter's life? And regarding the wedding, Mr. Jove will only marry Miss Casandra if you feel any objection to Miss Casandra staying at the mansion. But if you are happy to let us take care of it, surely the marriage will not happen anytime soon. So please think about which decision you will choose. Let Miss Casandra stay with Mr. Jove, or allow Mr. Jove to marry your daughter. Five minutes from now you should already give me that answer since I need to return to the mansion immediately. Things aren't okay now!” franklin's reply didn't give Mr and Mrs Lin much time to make up her mind. Because every second of time Franklin spent in this house can have a huge effect on the emotions of his boss.

Cadenza and Elzavat throw views at each other after hearing Franklin's explanation. They were a little relieved because at least the marriage didn't have to actually happen now. Fidel who saw his two masters silent to each other immediately came closer and looked closely at Franklin. This man ... why was he able to deliver the news so horribly? Doesn't Franklin know that Miss Casandra is the only child Mr Cadenza and Mrs Elzavat have? Fidel certainly knew that Franklin was a mobster who most likely knew no mercy, but at least he could speak in a slightly more polite sentence. Not like that.

“What's up, Fidel? Do you intend to stay at Mr Jove's mansion?” franklin asked, grinning.

“Can you guys make sure that Miss Casandra will be safe there?” fidel asked back. “I don't know how dangerous your business is. But if Miss Casandra comes to any good reason, with my own hands I swear I will finish you all off!”

Franklin standing. He took a step forward until his face was level with Fidel's. While glaring coldly, Franklin questioned the extent to which Fidel was able to guess the power possessed by his boss. Very presumptuous of this man. Fidel did not know just who the person he had just looked down on was. Had he known it all, Franklin believed Fidel would have trembled in fear.

“Fidel, I know you are the one who has been protecting and keeping Miss Casandra safe. But the standard you have is not even comparable to that of the dog kept by Mr. Jove. That is, you are very unworthy to question whether or not we can ensure Miss Casandra's safety. Just so you know yes. Miss Casandra will be owned by Mr. Jove with half her life. So for anyone who dares to touch it even if it is only his shadow, then that person must be prepared to die in a way he never imagined. Understood?!” reprimand Franklin while grinding her teeth. He is deeply offended when Fidel questions his boss's ability to keep Miss Casandra safe. Don't you think this is so funny? Fidel, who is just an ordinary assistant, dares to question the power of Jove Alexander Lorenzo? Come on, man, don't joke. This isn't funny at all.

“You!”

“Fidel, enough!” lerai Cadenza immediately stopped Fidel who began to be provoked by emotions because of Franklin's words that sounded a little demeaning. Patting Fidel's shoulder gently, Cadenza asked him to step down. “Saballah. It's for Casandra's safety. Okay?”

“Sorry, Mr. Cadenza. I just want to make sure Miss Casandra is safe with them!” sahut Fidel glanced sharply at Franklin. This mafia is really.

“Iya I know. Now let me do the talking. You retreat!”

Fidel reluctantly stepped back and stood beside Lady Elzavat. But he did not take his eyes off Franklin's face that looked so irritating. This mobster likens it to Jove's pet dog. Don't you think this is too late? You dickhead.

“Mr Cadenza, the time I gave was over the limit. I ask you to immediately convey which decision you and your wife choose because I have to return to the mansion as soon as possible. There is something important I need to do immediately. Please don't buy any more time!” franklin stared at the clock in his hand. He then turned to look closely at Mr. Cadenza.

“Franklin, despite the weight please tell Jove that we allow Casandra to stay in her mansion. But promise me that you will take care of it as best you can. Whether or not this has anything to do with it, we rely on Jove and all of you to protect Casandra from the greedy people. We totally depend on you!” sahut Cadenza expressed his willingness to let Casandra stay with Jove.

“You don't have to worry about this problem, Mr. Cadenza. Like I said to Fidel, Mr. Jove will have Miss Casandra with half his life. That means Miss Casandra is the one who will get important priority in our group. You guys here just need to obey and do not violate the restrictions so that Mr. Jove does not change his mind then finish Miss Casandra with his own hands!” answer Franklin. “Remember, Mr. Cadenza. We are not a group of good-hearted people, but that does not mean we will ignore something that is already our responsibility. But if anyone violates our rules or provokes Mr. Jove's anger, then we will not hesitate to take on the responsibility we have previously created. Including killing Miss Casandra and all of you. Excuse me!”

It felt like the bones in Cadenza and Elzavat's legs were all gone so heard Franklin's incredibly horrible words. Although not a direct threat, but the words that Franklin said could make the whole body Cadenza and Elzavat vibrate violently. Now they know that the mafia is still a mafia that will never be able to speak in soft words. And inevitably they must be ready to accept this fact if only later Jove will really marry Casandra.
