Look who's here. Too good for us now, huh? Swear loyalty, or are you a damn traitor?
Don’t insult me…loyalty yes I swear
Grips Wardil by the collar, bringing him face to face I'm serious, kid. You better remember who you belong to.
I’m not some product, I do as I want. That doesn’t mean I will betray my own father, it doesn’t even mean I’ll obey him without question. It does mean that I don’t feel the need to be rid of him so that his ex-lover that’s youcan control me
Lets go of Wardil and steps back You think you're so smart, huh? Always had a big mouth on you. Now you're saying you won't obey your father?
did I ever say I would obey you?? You’ve probably already realised that’s died
Oh, dead? Is that what you think? Laughs You have no idea how much power I still hold over this family.
Yeah, kind of like an ex-wife. You may feel entitled but you aren’t mother. Either get the respect that comes with both of those titles or stay away. And to make matters worse, if my father dies we will probably end up amalgamating into another Family or a bigger one that pays less attention than we do. No one wants your non-existent rule anymore
Amalgamating?! Throws a punch at Wardil How dare you even suggest such a thing! This family will always be mine to control!
You know my father won’t step down so-
Who said anything about stepping down? I'll take this family from him, whether he likes it or not.
Well then, we'll see about that. Throws a right hook at Wardil Let's settle this once and for all.
Grits his teeth and steps back So he did tell you. Well, looks like there's only one way to deal with this.
Mhm. Then we’re merging with a bigger family anyway, they will decide
If they won't accept me, I'll take them down too. Nobody can stop me. Smirks menacingly
Love your confidence. Though I’ll tell my father to hold off till after lunch maybe then you won’t be half asleep by the time we’ve talked about this
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Fine, let's have our meeting after lunch then. But remember, kid, I don't like to be kept waiting.
Of course it is getting late get some rest Vito. Maybe next time we talk you won’t be half asleep chuckles and exits the room
Stands in front of the closed door, deep in thought Half asleep, huh? They think they can undermine me? We'll see about that.
Arrives at the mansion early, pacing back and forth Time to put an end to this once and for all.
Ah you’re here! My father has summoned everyone anyway so basically everybody is already here
Steps into the meeting room, scanning the room with a cold stare Let's get this over with.
I told you Father would hold off. Now shush. A meeting isn’t really somewhere you start off telling people to shut up
Takes a seat at the head of the table, leaning forward with his elbows resting on the table Alright, let's hear what you have to say.
First let me introduce our guest, Lord Vito. Anyway everyone is already seated so I’ll just have my father give his opening statement since this meeting is mostly about him. Father?
Stands up abruptly, slamming his fist on the table Enough with these introductions! This meeting is about my rightful place as the leader of this family. I demand everyone's undivided attention and loyalty. Members: Taken aback, look at each other nervously
…father, remind them of their places
Sweeps his arm across the table, knocking over the water glasses and sending papers flying Loyalty! That's what I demand! And if you won't give it to me willingly, I'll take it by force! Members: Taken aback, start to scramble to clean up the mess while exchanging nervous glances
