The charm of Mr. De Luca

Bad News

“You're home, son?” Damiano looks clumsy to welcome the arrival of Matteo. It seems like confusion what to say. While Matteo still felt there was something else. He knew that Damiano was hiding something from him.

Matteo then stood by the sofa. While Damiano leaned his body on the wall layered with natural rocks. A moment later, Matteo approached Damiano. He put down his helmet and stood before the middle-aged man. Matteo had never looked at the man who had been nurturing her all this time, with a gaze as sharp as that. Strong, his hand gripped Damiano's arm until the old man closed his eyes to hold Matteo's great energy.

Seeing that, Coco who had just been silent immediately acted. He got up from his seat and approached Matteo. Removing Matteo's hand from Damiano's arm. Coco tries to calm her best friend by taking the man to sit on the sofa. Coco also took Matteo a drink and sat down next to her again.

“Tell me what happened?” Matteo stared intently at the furious look in front of him. His gray eyes turned to Coco after a long time looking for answers to Damiano who never opened his mouth.

“Il Signore Roberto and Signora Gabriella, they .... they,” Coco stamped.

“They're what? Quickly say!” Matteo stood back up and clutched the collar of Coco's shirt. His face is now only a few inches away from his best friend.

“They died, Theo. The car they were driving exploded on the way home,” Coco replied softly.

Matteo released his grip slowly. He sat back down when he heard the news that seemed to shake his world. His body was still as though it was not powered. “How ... how can?” Matteo, who was notoriously cold and never showed any emotions, is now shedding tears. He rubbed his face rough, then clenched his hands. Matteo turned his head to the brown brick wall that lay behind him. The cold surface of the wall drew Matteo to the point of being hit.

Matteo. Many times he raised his fist, until there was a slight crack in the wall. He did not stop even though the back of his hand was bleeding.

“Stop, Il Mio Bambino! Already!” damiano held Matteo's hand so as not to hurt him any further.

“Content yourself!” damiano slowly hugged Matteo's frozen body. He rubbed the back of the man whom he had considered to be his biological son, in order to shed all his anger and sadness.

“I should finish them all off without remaining!” furious Matteo.

“Don't think about it first, son! Now the police are investigating the case. If it continues, our organization will be exposed. Surely your father wouldn't like that. Klan de Luca is his legacy,” Damiano said.

Matteo was silent for a moment. He still could not believe the bad news he had just heard. How could this happen to both of his parents. “This doesn't make sense! Security at Casa de Luca is tight! How could there be a stranger who could freely enter and put a bomb in my car?” Matteo looked at Coco and Damiano in turn.

“Come, Son. I think there must be someone on the inside doing that. We must investigate immediately,” Damiano said. “Because the bomb was installed in your car, surely the target of them is you,” continued the middle-aged man again.

“I think what Damiano said was right. The death of Mr and Mrs de Luca should not have happened,” Coco said. He approached Matteo and held his friend's shoulder. As someone who knows Matteo well, Coco knows that her best friend is a very strong man. However, the name of losing both parents would definitely feel so heavy for anyone. 

Meanwhile somewhere else. The news of Roberto and Gabriella de Luca's death has reached Vincenzo's ears. The stern-faced man looked so emotional because of it. He even had time to slap his men who delivered the bad news. “I never ordered you to take the lives of Roberto and Gabriella!” snapped Vincenzo to his three men who at that time came facing. None of them dared to raise their faces and fight the wrathful gaze of their master, for the failure of the plot for the murder intended for Matteo.

“Im sorry, Sir. We ...”

“Don't you dare make excuses in front of me! You're just fools who don't work!” sergeant Vincenzo. He then told his three men to leave in front of him. Afterwards, Vincenzo is seen contacting someone.

“How can you fail to eliminate Matteo?” Vincenzo said without further ado.

“I'm sorry. I did not expect that the car was actually used by Mr and Mrs de Luca, instead of Matteo,” was a man from the end of the phone.

“You are all unreliable. Stupido sei!(You fool!),” maki Vincenzo. His anger at the failure of Matteo's assassination plot has indeed made his anger unstoppable. He can be sure if after this incident, then Matteo will definitely be much more vigilant. In addition, he also knew Roberto de Luca. Their relationship is very harmonious, both in the business world and outside the affairs of cooperation they do.

As mentioned earlier, Du Fontaine is a mainstay drink that is always available at the club owned by Moriarty which is spread almost throughout Italy. This cooperation has been established for a long time. 

“I did not expect that the car was not used by de Luca's son. I also couldn't take the bomb off, because it would have taken quite a while. While the atmosphere at the party was so crowded and there were several guards who kept watching in the parking area. I don't want to take any chances,” please that guy again.

“The bomb was designed to explode when the driver of the car increased his speed too high. The gas pedal will trigger the bomb to activate immediately,” he continued.

“You are too many reasons!” Vincenzo. The man did not tolerate a failure. “I'm sure very soon, de Luca's son will soon find out if you're the one who planted the bomb in his car. Beware, he is no ordinary young man!”

I heard laughter from across there. The man who was Vincenzo's interlocutor still sounded very calm in response to all the anger of the thirty-two-year-old man.

“You need not worry about me, Mr Moriarty! You should be getting ready, because de Luca's son will be looking for you soon to avenge the death of his parents,” the man sounded threatening back Vincenzo. “You already know what the power of son de Luca looks like. He has eliminated your brother and all his men only alone, it is not impossible that he can do the same to you,” he said again.

Vincenzo did not answer. What the man on the other end of the phone said was not wrong. Matteo is not a gentleman. Although his age is still relatively young, but his prowess is indeed worthy of thumbs up. His courage and intelligence cannot be doubted. “Then what will you do now?” ask Vincenzo while starting to ignite his cigar.

There was a voice of the mysterious man's laughter. It still sounds as calm as before. “There are a few plans I've made. Although the plan this time failed, but I don't think it harmed me too much. There is always a good side to every failure, Mr. Moriarty,”. “You want the life of Matteo de Luca? Just wait a minute. The young man will surely hand him over voluntarily to you,” laughs back with the man's words before he ends his conversation with Vincenzo.

While Vincenzo himself, at that time just pensive while continuing to suck his cigar. He thought of the death of Roberto and his wife. One life is paid for with two lives at a time, even though it is not the life he wants.
