JASMINE FOR THE MAFIA LORD

CHAPTER 52 - Higher Bids

Alfhonso continued to step towards the middle room, and his steps came to a halt instantly, his eyes looking at a rather large tall man with a black coat dangling a calf-length, misty-haired, black-haired figure, also the stick is squeezed between the arm and side of the armpit.

The man was facing a large painting on the wall that was emblazoned with a classic photograph of an old man in a fedora hat with a dignified face holding a plain-faced little boy in front of him who was wearing clothes black-and-white.

The man standing there turned his back to Alfhonso while still staring at the large painting in front of him.

“You are very similar to your grandfather Alf.., he is indeed loving.” then the man turned around and faced Alfhonso who was still standing glued in his place without saying a single word.

“You are back...or am I back?.” said the authoritative man full of charisma and a little save pressure.

“Are you a legend? Leo the devil was walking..” Finally a sentence was uttered from Alfhonso's mouth.

“Hey, don't you want to call me dad?” the man slowly stepped closer to Alfhonso.

“Ah, all this time what I thought was a legendary mafia and admired so much, turned out to be the one who had left me for so many years.”.

“I did not leave you Alfhonso, I still keep an eye on you for years..It's just you who never realized..Come here.” Leopard told his son.

Eventually the two embrace with either a longing or just a ceremonial meeting between father and son. But their embrace was tight enough and quite hinted at a deep sense of longing for loss.

Leopard patted his son's back a little hard while still hugging him.

“Did you not allow your father to sit?” leopard said after taking off his arms.

“Ya,..sit.” Alfhonso, who was a bit awkward, allowed his father to sit on the sofa.

“You must have known with the intention of my arrival to this country,..” said Leopard who has sat and still holds his cane.

“Yes, more or less I already know..”

“If you consider it that I only came to help the mafia here then your estimation is less precise, because I also want to print someone to be Lord of Mafia, as well, and occupy the first seat in the row of the list of top mafia names”

“You mean?” ask Alfhonso.

“Be the most feared mafia with your position at the highest level Alfhonso”

“I have become the chairman of BLOOD, I think that is enough, why else do I reach the highest level?”

“Haah, you still have a lot to learn.Dumb boy!, with your position at the top, all regions you can easily master. Whichever region you want, you can have it without having to fight, by controlling the territory, means you will also have more subordinates and extensive accomplices.” Leopard explained.

“But I don't want territory..”

“Stupid basis!…si Kazito and his allies will soon invade your territory, are you sure of your position that you can now fight against?, he said?, while all the territory he has mastered will join him and will join attack”

“Aren't you here to help with Kazito?” ask Alfhonso.

“Yes, I can easily fight it, but I want you to fight it this time, and I give you the easiest way to deal with it”

“Why is it like you handed a burden to me?” Alfhonso.

“Do you consider it a burden?, it is an improvement of Alfhonso”

“So, do you want to join me?…Go to the higher stairs Alfhonso, be the chairman of EMO (Elite Mafia Organization), it will expand your gait, and that way we will be easier to fight our enemies”

“EMO?, the most dangerous underground organization.”.

“Why should I go in and become the EMO chairman?, I have enough in BLOOD, besides are you the EMO chairman?, why don't you just lead.” said Alfhonso.

“I am the brain of EMO, not just the chairman. But I'm tired enough of my gait, I want someone to take my place, and I think you're a good fit for my position. Right now I want to be behind the scenes, because our enemies only know what is in the organization, while behind them they do not realize, I will keep an eye on you from behind.”.

“Then, why did you enter me to be the chairman?, would I be used as a shield to face the enemy, while you were behind the scenes?” Alfhonso's getting a little hot.

“Quiet first.., we just met, did you forget how to honor a father?” leopard.

“Yes, maybe I forgot..Do you also remember ever having a child?” alfhonso replied while glaring not to look at Leopard and take a cigarette from his pocket.

“With you being EMO chairman, then the entire organization under you will automatically follow you” Leopard said.

“Why don't you just ask Reondess to be the chairman of EMO?, why should I?”

“He is different from you Alfhonso, the man can not be relied on, he is only a troublemaker.Therefore I expect you to replace my position.”, said the middle-aged man with a misty hair.

“But what I heard EMO is running a dangerous and dirty underground organization, it turns out you are the brains of this organization.”

“Yes, then you will easily conquer whoever your enemy, including Kazito”

“Leopard, do you know why BLOOD is not included in EMO?, because their purpose is different, even though they look the same, BLOOD is still cleaner than EMO.” said Alfhonso.

“Hey, call me dad!, you brash son!. Where any of us who clean Alfhosno.The purpose of BLOOD is too soft, then until anytime he will be under the feet of the Mafia officials in other parts of the country, but EMO is far above it, since EMO is the largest combined organization of mafias around the world, aren't you interested in joining it, and even more so as chairman?”

Alfhonso was silent for a while.

“Think of my offer Alfhonso.”.

“Oya, what are you talking about with Jasmine in the bakery?” alfhonso asked with a dislike look at his father.

“Ah.it, I just warned, rather he does not become a burden for you, because your position is not suitable to have a lover.” said Leopard.

“What the fuck are you!, why are you involving him, he has nothing to do with you and with my position!…” Alfhonso started to growl.

“Can't you respect your father!, was this your grandfather's upbringing!” leopard said with his heavy voice.

“Don't bring grandpa!, in any case, you're the wrong”

“Have I not wanted to argue today.”

Alfhonso threw out his cigarette smoke.

“You must know what happened to my wife Lily, after my divorce with her mother Reondess?, she was a shooting victim because of my dispute with my enemy, and it is like that when someone like us has a family or loved ones, then they are the first to be targeted so that our anger peaks, and when anger overwhelms us, so our common sense is hindered, so the enemy is easier to see our unguided movements. Therefore do not love Alfhonso women too much, they are only obstacles for us.” said Leopard who made Alfhonso's eyes radiate disapproval.
