The charm of Mr. De Luca

Inside The Palace

Coco sat in front of her laptop. I don't know what he was doing, but a moment later he said to Matteo, “I've managed to hack Moriarty's Mansion security system. I'm really working hard to be able to do that" Coco said with a gaze that still pointed at the laptop screen.

"They have a very strict and layered security system. I think if not a professional like me, it would be very difficult to break through it,” Coco said. Again, he boasted of himself. While Matteo only took a deep breath. He was used to the attitude and silly words of his best friend's man.

“Then?” ask Matteo. He had no intention of responding to Coco's self-sounding babble about himself as unimportant.

Coco seemed to refocus with her laptop for a moment. It then shows something on the screen, a data file that is only understood by people who are familiar with IT.

Matteo frowned. He looked at Coco. “Can not beat around the bush? We don't have much time. Don't let Silvio return to his mansion before I manage to sneak there!” matteo's protest made Coco laugh.

“Alright,” said Coco while ending her laughter. “Intinya, I have managed to mess up their security system, so you can pass the first stage of security. You can enter the courtyard of the mansion freely. Yesterday I had a chance to observe the atmosphere there even though it was just a glance," explained Coco.

"There were several points where the guards gathered. On the outside of the mansion, I only saw a few guards. I guess there's only a few and I'm sure you can knock them out easily."

"There are several doors, but there is only one main door marked with two carved pillars. The door looks the most striking when compared to other doors. I also don't know what other doors lead into what room,” explains Coco at length.

“In addition, I also saw there are some balconies there. Maybe one of them is Silvio's room. However, everything looks the same,” explained Coco again while frowning her forehead.

“You mean?” matteo asked not understanding.

“If one of them is Silvio's room, then there should be a slight differentiator. Wait a minute!” Coco seemed to think. It was like remembering something. A moment later, Coco smiled.

“Yes, I know!” exclaim Coco slowly. “There is one balcony with different shape. Much larger if hung with other balconies. I think it must be Silvio's room,” Coco muttered. “You must have known what you had to do, didn't you?” Coco glanced at her best friend who now looked much fresher after drinking coffee.

Around noon, Matteo had just finished preparing himself in the van. Not to forget, Coco equipped Matteo with a gun that he got from an acquaintance there. Matteo also installed an earpiece so that he could communicate with Coco in charge of monitoring from outside.

After feeling completely ready, Matteo got out of the van and walked towards the mansion's gate. Very carefully, the man climbed up the high wall near the gate that stood firm. Matteo walked while sneaking around as he walked into the courtyard of the mansion, so that his arrival there was unknown to Silvio's bodyguards.

Fortunately, the front yard was not too tight. The weather was quite blistering, causing Silvio's men to prefer to gather in a gazebo on the other side of the mansion's courtyard. The gazebo is quite large, which seems to have been built specifically for them.

The sound of laughter was accompanied by a loud music, accompanying several men dressed in black who were busy gathering while playing cards. Since Silvio was not there at the time, they also took advantage of a rare time, to just relax. However, they did not realize that they had been careless to the point of not realizing that any intruders had entered the area of the mansion.

Coco is right. In this magnificent building there are many balconies. Matteo saw it one by one, until his view was locked on a balcony with a curved shape and a much wider size when compared to other balconies. That balcony will be the target of Matteo at this time. However, just as Matteo stood up, he had to be stunned as he felt the muzzle of the weapon at his back waist.

“Put your hands behind your head, Intruder!” hardik a man from behind Matteo. Although the man said quite loudly, but his other friends seemed not to hear because the music in the gazebo was much louder.

Matteo according. He put his hands behind his head and turned and faced the bully. Matteo smiled faintly. There was no look of fear from his face.

While the bully felt on the wind, with his bow he pulled the trigger and stuck his snout right on Matteo's forehead. He hoped that the great enemy of his boss would die at his hands. That way he will get praise and also a great gift from Silvio.

However, his wishful thinking had to end right then and there, as Matteo's hand moved as fast as lightning unsheathed the dagger hidden inside his jacket sleeve, right on the man's wrist.

The gunman screamed and was forced to drop his gun due to unbearable pain. His veins were now torn, a wound as deep as two centimeters had torn apart his veins. The man couldn't even pick up the gun lying under his feet. Blood flowed from under his palm.

The view of the rodent was yellow and almost hollow. This was a golden opportunity for Matteo. Immediately he pulled the man's body and threw his dagger several times into the heart of the piercer, until finally the body collapsed and was helpless without any meaningful resistance.

Matteo picked up the gun lying on the gravelly ground. However, it was a pity because once Matteo turned around, he had to face back with the muzzle of the weapon that was already pointed directly at his head. He was surrounded by several bodyguards who were also preparing to shoot him.

Matteo's getting more alert. He spread his eyes to the faces one by one. One of them cocked a gun and spewed a bullet at him. Matteo swiftly dodged in a sideways motion, hitting one of Silvio's men who was also pointing a weapon at him.

The young man staggered. Matteo's hand grabbed him immediately, then pulled the young man to stand right in front of him. Matteo made the young man's body a shield, so when one of Silvio's bodyguards tried to shoot him blindly, the shot was lodged in the young man's body.

Matteo walked backwards while holding the body of the young man who was no longer alive. While shot after shot still continues to rain on him. There was a door behind Matteo. He felt if that was the only way out to avoid the attacks that led to him.

Matteo was forced to open the door and enter it. He then threw away the body of the useless young man just like that.

Matteo switches on one large ceramic plant pot located on the side of the door. He dragged and placed the pot in front of the door, meaning to hold the door can not be opened by the outside.

Matteo took a few steps back. The man then turned around and tried to turn the brain. However, it turned out that the door instead led right to one of the rooms inside Moriarty's palace with more armed men inside.
