Chapter 39: Viper’s Past
After laying out her plans, Viper began treading the path of crime. Meanwhile, her siblings had no interest in becoming part of the mafia.
To them, it was far better to live a lavish life basking in luxury and light—attending grand parties, enjoying wealth—than to lurk in the shadows, dealing in secrecy and filth.
From extortion, drug trafficking, and arms dealing to money laundering... she climbed her way up step by step, earning the recognition of many within the organization.
But would these members remain eternally loyal to her family? The answer: maybe, maybe not.
If the next leader could match or surpass the current one, then they had no reason to rebel.
However, if the successor was an incompetent fool, they wouldn’t hesitate to choose someone they truly respected.
Throughout that journey, she honed a myriad of skills—from combat techniques to highly specialized knowledge.
Back when she was just an ordinary heiress, no one ever noticed anything remarkable about her.
But once she entered the underworld, many were stunned by her sheer madness.
She was far more ruthless than her father—yet at the same time, she possessed a terrifying clarity of mind.
That was precisely why many believed their futures would be far more glorious if she took the helm.
And in truth, they were right. The organization’s influence expanded rapidly once she seized control.
