THE MAFIA!

Chapter 162's

🍄 Four Years Later . . .

Time keeps passing. The years continued to be passed by successive deliveries of children from the Xavier family.

Seven years, the time in the field - Michael as a long time for their children to forge various types of knowledge to make them much more resilient and strong.

Had received rejection from his wife, did not make Michael give up. Repeatedly explaining the future of their sons and daughters. Various possibilities that could have happened without thought - thought before.

Oliver who has a clear mind also persuaded Chania to be willing to release their children. For their future safety.

Sending three kids on the first wave. Two years later Zee Everest, Sania and Reno's son, followed in the second wave.

Now four years have Jia, Jio and Jellow been in the temple of Master Shifu. Hear the legendary teacher that little Michael has.

There are many things in Rome that their children must miss. One of them is the death of Deborah.

For the second time, Michael will visit the twins at the temple with Gerald, his youngest son. Arfha Orlando, Reno and Sania's second child.

This time, however, with the news. Michael's legs almost shook as he prepared to face the crown prince, and his only daughter.

Feeling guilty, because it makes them unable to see the last seconds of their loved ones. But whatever the power, all can't be reset.

Two years ago, he and Reno held Zee's hand right at the gate. Now they're back holding the hands of two little boys.

"Daddy!"

The sound of screaming from the left side made Michael immediately turn his head there. He knows that voice very well.

"Jia!" call Michael lirih. Withstanding tightness inside the chest.

"Daddy!" Jia ran as fast as she could.

Little Jia has grown up a teenager. He's 14 years old now. His body is getting taller and slimmer. His hair was as black as his father. Her eyes were round like her mother, Chania.

Michael waited with his arms out. Like when he welcomed the girl ten years ago. The difference, if Michael used to wait by crouching, then now he waited by standing.

"I miss Daddy and Mommy!" said Jia.

Her daughter is now in the trap. Hugged his body tightly. As if I was not taking it off again. Just like the princess, Michael hugged his daughter tightly. There was something strange in his heart, which made the Mafia feel guilty for the twins.

"Daddy misses you so much." said Michael kissed Jia's head with affection.

"Why didn't Mommy ever come?" asked Jia.

"Mommy doesn't need to know where you are, Jia." replied Michael staring softly at his daughter.

Michael looked behind the princess. From a distance he could already see who was walking towards him. Michael smiled, looking at the crown prince just coming out of the hill.

Just like Jia, Jio's body was getting higher. Blonde hair with a stern look and thick eyebrows, making the son look much more handsome.

"Jio?" call Michael.

Instead of answering, from a distance of 100 meters, Jio actually threw something towards his Daddy. Michael who is very sensitive certainly knows what was thrown by the son.

Yes, a small, pointed knife. It might land right on Jia's back, if Michael isn't the expert and catches something. Michael managed to catch the knife exactly 10 inches from Jia's shirt.

Michael was not angry at all. He was smiling. The son is getting better. Knife throws are much more precise than they were two years ago.

And what Jio had just done made Gerald glare. He has often practiced with his father, but has never been taught to throw a knife like his brother.

"You're getting better, Jio!" michael welcomed the arrival of the son with pride.

"Hi, Daddy!" sapa Jio smiled faintly. He hugged his Daddy with admiration.

Little Jio has grown into a teenage Jio who is quite difficult to laugh. Even so it's quite easy to get along. Make friends with anyone, indiscriminately.

Four years Jio had forged knowledge in the temple. And during that time he was always Shifu's best student. Descending from the father, perhaps Jio will also become the legend of the second Shifu temple.

"Welcome, Boy!" greet Jio to Gerald. He gave a fist to his sister.

"Hi, Brother!" reply Gerald.

Jio turned back to face his father. Staring closely at a pair of brownish-colored eyeballs that were the same as her.

"Is there anything I want to talk to you about, Dad?" ask Jio straight to the point.

Michael took a deep breath. Didn't expect his son to be so sensitive about someone's expression.

Michael pulled Jia's shoulder to his hoe. Then pat the crown prince on the shoulder. His son is 14 years old, it is time to treat the son like a friend.

"I'm sorry Daddy... Daddy can't pick you up..."

"What does Daddy mean? it is not time to go home yet!" jia Sahut.

"Jia..pardon Daddy... didn't pick you up when your Grandpa and Grandma died.." - Michael sounded sad.

"Grandpa Frederick and Grandma Madalena are dead?" jia asked softly, looking fixedly at the Father.

"Hem.." replied Michael pulling the princess in his arms.

Michael knows how much Jia loves his grandparents. His Grandfather and Grandmother were the first defenders if Jia was to defy from harsh training. On the grounds that as a girl you don't have to fight on the battlefield.

Tears just flowed from Jia's peluhan. Disappointment and regret mix into one.

"Why didn't Daddy pick me up when Grandpa and Grandma were sick!" jia said squeezing the clothes Michael was wearing.

"I'm sorry Daddy, Jia." said Michael hugging his daughter tighter. "Grandfather died not because of illness. A few weeks ago, Grandpa and Grandma's house was suddenly entered by intruders. And Grandpa died exposed to enemy bazookas. While Grandma, died of a heart attack..." Michael told me a little. It sounded very sad in Jia's ears.

As for Jio, he remained flat-faced. But in his heart he was broken. Four years without seeing each other. And it was the sad news that he got.

"Why can't Jia go home at all?" tanya Jia looked up at the Father. "Why, Dad!" henk Jia stared at the protest at the Father.

"I'm sorry Daddy, Jia.." - Michael.

"Jia wants to go home!" hentak Jia's.

"Daddy will arrange for you to go home!"

"Must!" jia exclaimed pushing Michael's chest and ran away from his family.

Jia continued to run towards where Jio had appeared. And disappeared on the hills. Everyone looked towards Jia. Michael was going after his daughter. But Jio prevented it.

"She just wants to find peace, Dad. Leave it!" said Jio.

"You're angry with Daddy, too?"

Jio shook his head slowly, "I know why Daddy is so!" jio replied, making Michael smile thinly.

Michael knew the son was more mature than his twin brother. For that to talk to the son to find a solution, Michael thought it was the right way.Since Jio is currently the closest to Jia.

***

Upon some consideration, Michael finally brings Jia and Jio back to Rome with Shifu's permission. Michael's entourage arrived in Rome when it was dark.

Along the way back Jia was more silent. She was the one who lost her Grandpa and Grandma the most.

Ever since hearing Michael get off the plane, Chania has been waiting for her twins whom she has longed for. Without him knowing how handsome and beautiful the faces of his children.

"Jia, Jio..." Chania welcomes her twins whom she has not seen for four years. He even

Chania still remembered, how hard it used to be to let the two go. After many years, both have returned. And the son now has the same height as him.

"I miss you, Mommy!" Jio hugged the woman who had given birth to herself into the world.

"Mommy too, Boy!" Chania shed tears in the arms of her son.

"Joe..." Chania hugged her daughter.

"You guys did deliberately tell Jia and Kak Jio?"

"That's not it, Jia. but we didn't have time to pick you up..."

"While Daddy has to punish the enemies who are caught first." said Michael. "To know, who has attacked us arrived - arrived!"

"Then who?" jia asked a little cynically.

"There was no answer, as the interrogation progressed, those who were caught actually drank poison and died just like that" Michael sighed.

"What!" pekik Jia felt unreasonable.

He knew the darkness of the world that his father was playing. And only this time he heard the ridiculous behavior of his captives.

"More annoying, they operate using gloves! makes it hard to find traces of where they came from.

"Squeen!" cibir Jia later.

"Rest, Jia.. tomorrow morning we go to Grandpa and Grandma's grave" said Chania stroking her daughter's black hair.

"Yes, Mom!"

In a snow-covered wooden building, several people gathered for a discussion.

"I didn't see Michael's twins there at all!" say someone with a tattoo on the left neck.

"It looks like Michael's kids aren't in Rome!" other sahut.

"That night I wanted to know how powerful the crown prince Michael was! huh!" smiling sideways, as if mocking someone they were talking about.

"At least Frederick and one of his best bodyguards were killed that night!"

"We can target to kill Michael's two main bodyguards first! that way Michael's gonna lose his fangs!"

"When do we re-attack?"

"Tonight we must return to Rome!" said the tattooed man on the neck. "And you must come this time! I heard Michael's two main bodyguards are very strong!"

"Fine!"
