Chapter 459: Unexpected
"Who are these... people who have started to target my mother?" Nero asked, his voice completely casual. Yet when Gabriel heard the voice, a chill traveled down his spine. He knew... Gabriel knew well that ever since the episode with his brother’s disappearance, Nero had become especially sensitive towards things involving his family, even if he had the awareness to not let it show.
Others may judge Nero based on his actions and achievements, but only Gabriel knew that in truth, these were all distractions to hide his true intentions. The day he was capable of seeking revenge, he would do so in the most terrible fashion. He loved his family fiercely, and he hated his enemies with the exact same ferocity. He was just very good at hiding the actual extent of that gate.
Gabriel, as someone who had planned for the future far beyond just reaching KMA with Nero, knew full well the extent to which he was ready to go.
Gabriel sighed, and shook his head.
"How can I give you a list, Nero? It’s basically anyone and everyone who benefited from the very corruption that the MIA is dead set on eliminating. While officially that does not include the Great families, each one of the Great families has at least a few members who rely on their... position to gain some benefits.
"The rest of the family usually looks the other way since they get a share of the benefits. Well, now that those benefits are being affected, everyone who is affected is feeling discontent. Targeting your mother is certainly simpler than targeting the government, but I’m sure the MIA has already taken precautions for that."
Nero controlled his breathing, not letting his discontentment show.
"So you have been instructed to keep a distance from me because your family’s corrupt practices have been put to a halt? Do I have that right?" Nero asked, going back to the original topic.
Gabriel, on the other hand, did not hide his frustration as he groaned.
