Chapter 1027: The Jealous Person
The flames ignited in a pair of blue eyes could definitely burn the person in front of him to ashes. The anger in his eyes only served to demonstrate that the master’s endurance had reached a certain limit; he was just one fuse away from igniting an explosion.
Nicholas stood in front of Raphael, his tightly pursed lips slightly tighter. His silence wouldn’t let the kneeling person relax in the slightest; instead, it gathered a tension that swallowed many attempts to speak back down into the stomach.
"Why?" In the stalemate of silence against silence, Nicholas coldly spoke. He hoped his dear brother could give him an explanation. "Why kill Moro?"
"He knew too much!"
Smack! Raphael’s right cheek was hit hard with a slap, and Nicholas let out a heavy breath. "Did Fick and Montier also know too much?"
Raphael raised his head in surprise, thinking he had done well, not leaking a trace. With Shao Weihua as the scapegoat, even if Angel was involved, it would only be pinned on him, and not cause suspicion of himself.
"Do you think I’m a fool?" Nicholas saw acknowledgment in Raphael’s eyes, and his heart began to sink. "Do you know what Adam’s identity is? Even if you found her first, she is your future sister-in-law. I am still the head of the family, what exactly is your reason for doing this? Or are you trying to replace me because you’re unsatisfied?"
"No!" Raphael lowered his head. In his dim eyes, unknown emotions flickered, and his furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. "There is a reason for my actions."
"Helping Wang Zhantian also has a reason? Meeting with Xiao Lin in private also has a reason? And..." Halfway through speaking, Nicholas suddenly stopped with a cold snort.
"I won’t forget who killed the previous Godfather. I did this to make your position more secure, to provoke a confrontation between the Shao family and Xiao Lin, only then do we have a chance..."
Smack, another slap landed on Raphael in the same spot! His right cheek swelled. "You should have killed Wang Zhantian first!"
"Killing him doesn’t benefit us at all now!" Raphael’s persistence made Nicholas’ pupils contract, like a cat with its fur bristled.
"I don’t see any difference!"
"Adam is Shao Weihua’s trump card, used to restrain you, a talisman."
"How does it relate to you killing those people? Is your goal to provoke infighting within the family? Or do you want to frame Shao Weihua, inciting a war in Sicily, giving those damned police a chance?"
Raphael furrowed his brows, looking as if he wanted to speak but hesitated, pushing Nicholas’ endurance to the limit. Without hesitation, he gathered strength in his right fist and swung it towards Raphael’s chest. With a bang, he was knocked away, landing on a low cabinet nearby. The furnishings were smashed into pieces everywhere.
Nicholas, as if unsatisfied, dashed forward in a swift motion, grabbing Raphael’s collar. On his own turf, he could do anything recklessly.
"Enough, stop attacking him!" A cute girl slowly descended the stairs, jumping suddenly from the remaining half-tier. Her nimble posture flipped in midair, landing next to Nicholas. Just a gesture from her hand stopped Nicholas’ attack on Raphael.
"Let go!"
"Everything he did was my intention." Adam’s black hair fluttered without wind, her round eyes and distinct pupils firmly absorbed Nicholas like a suction cup. In a moment of distraction, Adam had already taken Raphael out from under his claws.
A silver glint dangerously flashed in blue eyes; when Adam touched Raphael’s shoulder, if his gaze could kill, Raphael would certainly be a corpse now. However, such a look only stayed in Raphael’s eyes; Nicholas’ possessiveness was particularly strong at times like this.
"Don’t think that just because you’re my fiancée, you can interfere. As long as it endangers the entire family, I can still kill..." Nicholas closed in on Adam, his gaze still lingering on Adam’s hand on Raphael’s shoulder.
"Kill me?" Adam Gadamon finally let go of Raphael, facing Nicholas with a faint smile on her face, without giving any sense of gaiety. "I’m an assassin; my mission is to follow my employer’s orders, and my employer is Xiao Lin."
"Lies!" Nicholas denied Adam’s words without a second thought, yet he didn’t anticipate the response he received from Adam was her crisp laughter.
"Fick was too noisy; when Xiao Lin first entered Sicily, he had a dispute with Royce, drawing everyone’s attention to Xiao Lin. Montier was killed because he betrayed you!" Adam paused. "However, if you see this as Raphael’s personal action, I think you’re not fit to be a Godfather. Jealousy destroys your ability to judge correctly."
Nicholas suddenly burst into laughter, backing up half a step, seemingly no longer concerned with the matter. However, he had no intention of letting Raphael go either. After retreating half a step, he quickly moved his right foot outward, his right arm blocking forward, five fingers clenching into Raphael’s waist muscle.
Adam wanted to intervene but was pushed aside by Raphael. Facing Nicholas’ attack, understanding his anger, even if given the chance to argue at this moment, he felt it was of no use.
His lower arms dodged Nicholas’ right grab, spun to Nicholas’ back the same way, his left fist solidly punching forward. Seeing this, Adam suddenly blocked Raphael’s fist, forcing him to swing toward the side. He coldly stared at the appearing Adam, wordless.
The three stood in their original positions, Adam wedged between the brothers, and when Murphy burst in, he saw this strange scene.
"What is it?"
"Xiao Linxiao, Young Master Xiao requests a meeting, saying it’s for Angel."
"Tell them I’m busy."
"Yes, Young Master. Also, Mr. Shao is waiting outside. Shall I dismiss him as well?" Murphy always saved the crucial question for last.
"Throw them out!" Nicholas shouted almost roaring.
"Young Master, I think these matters need to be faced sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity..." Murphy glanced at Adam Gadamon, suddenly reminded that there’s a Chinese saying about the calamity a beautiful woman brings. (To be continued.
