The charm of Mr. De Luca

Towards the Throne de Luca

That afternoon some of the elders of the Klan de Luca organization, had gathered in a special room with a Tuscany architectural style that was so thick. Everything is visible from the various ornaments that are there, with terracotta colors that are very dominating. Those who number around ten people, are the chosen people who have served for a long time even though they are not very active in all organizational activities. However, their voices and opinions are still very much needed in certain moments, such as today.

The small talk among the black-coated men came to a standstill, when they heard the sound of the clattering of shoes from one's footsteps that sounded so clear on the tiles with beautiful mosaic art motifs. The eyes of the elders were now fixed on a young man who had stood gallantly. Men with sharp eyes and look very flat. He stared at the ten black-coated elders in turn.

Matteo, has been ready to attend the meeting which will continue at the event of his appointment as the new chairman. To his left stood Antonio with the thick beard that characterised the man. Meanwhile, on the right side there is Damiano who looks so radiant. His facial features looked more friendly, when compared to the two men nearby.

“Help them, My son,” whispered Damiano. He gave directions to Matteo who was still standing and seemed to be thinking about something.

Matteo moved his head slowly to understand. A moment later, he changed his standing position. Matteo is making himself as calm as possible. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. With the position of the hand in front, the man in all-black clothes stood upright and looked straight ahead. “Buongiorno (good afternoon),” heard a heavy voice Matteo echoed in that spacious enough room. All the elders present replied to him by half-bending down. They also attach their hands in a cross position on the chest, from the bottom to near the shoulders. Such is the typical greeting of the Klan de Luca, when welcoming important people in their organization.

“Thank you for your willingness to be here,” Matteo started opening his welcome. “As we have known, yesterday we have all paid our last respects to Mr and Mrs de Luca. I, as the only son of both of them, thank you for all the dedication you have given all this time to build the de Luca organization. My late father must have been very proud to be surrounded by great people like you all,” Matteo said in a speech that sounded very straightforward.

“But, with the departure of my father .. then the leadership seat of the Klan de Luca automatically becomes empty. With that, I, as the crown prince of the Clan de Luca, have decided that I am willing to replace the position of the late Roberto de Luca and will lead this organization to its best. If any of you do not agree with the decision, please present your reasons and opinions at this forum. I need the support of people with high loyalty, and I will never compromise with a traitor,” Matteo spoke with great emphasis at the end of his sentence. It was deliberately done, to insinuate anyone who he felt had been the mastermind of the chaos that occurred for some time.

No one dared to say a word back then. By looking at Matteo's body language and style of speech alone, the elders were already convinced that Matteo was indeed worthy to continue the position left by Roberto de Luca. For a moment, the ten men looked at each other. One of them raised his hand as a sign that he was going to interrupt. Matteo gave a gesture to the middle-aged man. He chose it politely.

"Sorry Young Master, allow us to negotiate privately for a moment" the man said.

"Please," replied Matteo flatly.

After getting permission from Matteo, the ten black-coated men then moved away from the position Matteo was standing in. They formed a new circle and seemed to be discussing something. Matteo only looked at them with his sharp, telisik gaze. It's like a lie-detecting machine, which can see everything hidden behind a person's heartbeat. Matteo must continue to hone his instincts to become sharper.

A short while later, the ten black-coated men returned to where they had been. They stood up again in a neat row before Matteo, who was about ten steps away from where the men were.

"Young Master, we as the people who were considered elders by the late Mr. Roberto de Luca, have taken a pact together," the man who had interruptions began to bring up the results of the brief negotiations they had conducted earlier.

"We have absolutely no objection to your appointment as the new chairman of this organization. However, because you yourself are still very young, while young age is so vulnerable and sometimes unstable. So we decided to give you a year. Within that deadline, you can prove that you deserve to be made a replacement for Mr. Roberto de Luca. We hope you can understand what we all mean. After all, we love this organization so much and certainly won't let it go awry" the man said.

Matteo was still silent. He remained in an upright standing position with a straight and sharp gaze, which was directly fixed on the man. A moment later, Matteo glanced at Damiano. He trusted the middle-aged man very much. Matteo would do whatever he suggested.

Damiano had already understood by just looking at the body language that Matteo had shown. The green-eyed man then approached the son he had been nurturing since childhood. Damiano whispered to him. "Thank you, son. The conditions they proposed were not too heavy. I'm sure you can do your best for this organization" Damiano touched Matteo's shoulder lovingly.

"All right, I agree. I promise and will prove to you all that I am worthy to take my father's place. I vow to bring and maintain the glory of the Clan de Luca. I will do my best and continue to live the tradition that my father, Roberto de Luca, has passed down" Matteo said with a loud and confident voice.

Damiano smiled proudly. While Antonio was still seen with a serious expression of his face. The man seemed to be carrying a lot of burdens that he did not reveal. However, immediately the older brother of Roberto de Luca grabbed the shoulders of Matteo. A smile fell on his lips that were almost invisible, because of the thick beard on his knees.

After a while, enter Coco and Marco accompanied by a man. Immediately, Damiano lowered the coat covering Matteo's body. After that, Matteo unbuttoned the black shirt he wore one by one and took it off. Look athletic body with tattoo engraving found in several parts.

Matteo then thrust the shirt he had taken off at Damiano. He then went forward and sat in the middle of the room, on a wooden chair that Coco had provided in reverse. Matteo then placed his hand on the wooden chair's backrest, as the man who had just entered with Coco and Marco approached him. Apparently the man was a tattoo maker specifically for the Klan de Luca. This time he will make a special tattoo that rarely happens. He would draw a tattoo on Matteo's back to be a sign of his appointment as the new head of the Klan de Luca.

The man began to prepare all the equipment he would use. While Matteo prepared himself to withstand the pain of the tattooing process. As the process progressed, Matteo simply closed his eyes. Instantly, Mia's sweet face appeared in her shadow. The girl stood before Matteo, looked at him and smiled.

Unknowingly, Matteo smiled. He seemed to forget and did not feel pain due to the process of making the tattoo. Matteo seemed to be enjoying it, as he did not stop smiling.

Coco watched Matteo's expression as she folded her arms around her chest. The man held a slight smile at the corner of his lips. Coco had no idea what Matteo was thinking at the time.

It didn't take too long to complete the tattoo on Matteo's back. The process was finally completed as well. Matteo then opened his eyes slowly. On his back has now been engraved a special image that not everyone in Casa de Luca has.

On the sturdy back, now depicted a beautiful crown with the inscription “de Luca” on the top. With the completion of the tattoo, it means that Matteo has officially become the new leader of the Clan de Luca.

The tattoo artist immediately resigned after his task was over, along with Matteo who immediately stood up from his seat. The twenty-six-year-old man looked so dashing with his firm stance, despite looking a little arrogant. Matteo then looked at the ten elders who had been silent since then and noticed the process of making the tattoo.

A moment later, the man who was the representative of the elders spoke again. “The coronation process has been completed. We hope that the Young Master can carry out all his duties and responsibilities as chairman of this organization. However, if within one year the Young Master is considered to have failed, then the Young Master must be willing to remove the tattoo permanently,” he said in a firm tone, but it still sounded polite and respectful to Matteo.

“I agree,” replied Matteo flatly. He then glanced at Coco who at that time seemed to raise her thumb even though she was secretly. Matteo smiled faintly and turned his gaze back to the front, breaking through the glass window that made his gaze seem infinite. The heavy duty is now on his shoulders.

“Thank you for your trust. I will begin my first assignment by checking and rearranging the entire bookkeeping organization. I will also record the clan members one by one, ranging from the bottom to the top strata and their families. I will not be indiscriminate, even to Damiano and uncle Antonio,” firmly Matteo makes the whole room rowdy.
