"Ding, ding."
Inside the brightly lit Shelby villa, however, there was a great deal of laughter and cheerful conversation.
Inside the study of this villa, a man in a suit was sitting on the sofa drinking celebratory beverages.
Because today, he completely wiped out another major family in the city, the Vongola family.
Once Griffin brings back the head of the last surviving member of the Vongola family, Naklo City will be under the rule of the Shelby family.
The thought of them ruling the entire underworld of Naklo City was terrifying.
The thought of them soon becoming connected with the Ten Elders and perhaps even becoming a direct descendant of some powerful figure brought a radiant smile to Tom Shelby's face.
"The Shelby family is about to achieve even greater success and prosperity in my hands." Tom then downed the brandy he was holding in one gulp.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses walked in and whispered: "Sir, Mr. Daniel has arrived."
"Oh! He's here? Quickly, invite him in!" Tom ordered loudly with a big smile.
Then a young man in his early twenties walked in with an arrogant expression.
Tom immediately extended his hands, a broad smile on his face, and strode forward. "Welcome, Mr. Daniel, it's an honor to have you here!"
Daniel glanced at him coldly, a disdainful expression on his lips, slowly extended his hand, gave him a light handshake, and then immediately let go.
Tom's face twitched slightly, but he remained expressionless and gestured for the sofa to be invited.
Tom immediately picked up his wine glass with a broad smile, handed it to a young man in his twenties sitting next to him, and said:
"Lord Daniel, please have a drink. This is a 30-year-old Maru wine."
Seeing the young man sitting lazily on the sofa, I took the wine glass and took a sip of wine casually.
This young man didn't seem to take the underground emperor who was about to rule Naklo City seriously.
Upon seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Tom's eyes.
But when Tom thought about how Daniel was backed by the Ten Elders, the underworld overlords whom the Shelby family couldn't afford to offend, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and say with a forced smile:
"Lord Daniel, please put in a good word for me with that lord, say a few good words for me."
As he spoke, Tom pulled out a check and gently handed it over from the table. Daniel, who had been lounging on the sofa, saw that the check was for 500 million and his eyes lit up.
Daniel quickly pocketed the check, patted Tom on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'll talk to my cousin. As the fourth son of Hegel, one of the Ten Elders, he can easily make your Shelby family his direct subordinates."
"However!" Daniel suddenly paused, his face turning serious, and said, "You should know that even if you become the direct subordinate of the Ten Elders, you still need to understand in your heart which master's orders you need to obey!"
At this point, Daniel glared fiercely at Tom and said, "If you don't understand, you'll be in big trouble!"
Tom nodded repeatedly, assuring him, "Lord Daniel, please rest assured, we will faithfully follow Lord Murphy and assist him in ascending to the position of one of the Ten Elders."
Upon hearing this, Daniel burst into laughter, pointed his index finger at Tom, and said with a disdainful expression, "You? Just your Shelby family from the countryside?"
"Have some self-awareness! Your only purpose is to provide financial support to my cousin."
Upon hearing this, Tommy's face flashed with displeasure, and his fingers clenched into fists.
How dare you say such a thing? I am the man who is about to dominate Nanaklo City!
At that moment, he really wanted to shoot Daniel in the head, but Tom held back because he couldn't afford to offend the Ten Elders.
If Daniel is really killed, I'm afraid the Ten Elders will order the Ten Yin Beasts to make a move tomorrow.
At that point, the entire Shelby family might be destroyed.
A moment later.
Tom suppressed his anger and could only force a smile.
They dared not show the slightest anger on their faces, and even had to carefully stay by their side and serve them.
At the same time, in order to stop enduring Daniel's sarcastic remarks, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to take Daniel to a nearby room to rest.
After carefully arranging things for Daniel.
Just as Tom was holding a wine glass, standing by the window, dreaming about the future, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Thump, thump, thump.
"Come in," Tom called out casually, glancing towards the doorway.
A man in his thirties walked in, looking nervous and sweating profusely. He bowed and greeted Tom respectfully inside the room.
Looking at the patriarch Tom with a nervous expression, he hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat nervously and apprehensively:
"Lord Tom, we just received a message."
"Lord Griffin, we've been ambushed by the Vongola family. All the members of the action team he brought have been killed."
"What did you say!" Tom, who had been nonchalant, immediately changed his expression, staring at him with eyes wide with anger like a lion awakening. He demanded sharply, "John, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"
"The Vongola family has clearly been wiped out by us, leaving only some insignificant minor characters. How could they possibly be ambushed in Naklo City?"
Bang! A wine glass was smashed over. Tom roared, "You guys need to find out right now what happened!"
"Otherwise," he said, pulling out a gold pistol and pointing it at John, who had come in to report, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, "you'll go downstairs and keep Griffin company."
"Yes, yes, it's true." John looked at the pistol pointed at his forehead, his face covered in cold sweat, and stammered, "Sir, it was someone from the Vongola family. Some people say it was Vongola Vega who ambushed him. They saw him kill Lord Griffin."
"That damned bastard!" Tom roared. "Find him for me! I want him dead! I want him to go down and join my brother! I want him to regret ever being alive!"
"Send everyone out. I want to see Vega Vongola's head on my desk before dawn."
"Yes, sir." John immediately replied, sweating profusely, and turned to run quickly towards the door.
Once outside, John immediately pulled out his phone and loudly ordered all the Shelby family members to set out and search for Vega, making sure to find him before dawn.
The next moment.
Dozens of armed gang members ran out from around the villa, quickly got into cars, and sped off into the city.
