Chapter 77: A talk with Silver

After sending off Flame Emperor, Wil then turned to Snow Dew and said, "Since you made your choice, I'll remind you once again. Here, everything I order had to be followed unconditionally.

Unlike other guilds, we don't level up together. Whether you level up on your own or party with strangers is your wish. Unless you are in serious trouble, you shouldn't send a message asking for help.

And If you really need help, don't hesitate to ask in the guild and me.

This is how you'll become truly independent."

Snow Dew smiled and bragged in response, "of course, I already know about that, Big Brother. Dad told me about it. Not to mention, I'm stronger than him, you know."

"This girl…" Wil shakes his head with a smile…

After his working hours are over, Wil logged out and stepped out of the capsule.

One hour later, Wil was happily eating chow mein, a simple eastern continent's dish as dinner while watching the news.

*Ring* Ring*

Looking at the number, Wil rejected the call and mumbled, "I don't know what is that you want to talk about that you had to call me twice and sent a threatening message, but now that I know you are the one who dares to send me the death threat, do you still think I care what you want to talk about?

Soon, you'll know how deep I bore grudges. Oh, that's right, I forgot to call Silver…"

Wil immediately dialed his number, "Hello, Silver."

"Young master?"

Wil then said, "Wherever you are, come to my home, ASAP. We need to talk."

Within 15 minutes, Silver reached Wil's apartment.

Opening the door, Wil turn around and spoke while going into the kitchen to clean the dishes, "close it. And sit wherever you like."

After a while, Wil sat before him and said, "I called you here for two things. First, Cericia. As you can see, Mr. Rodin left her in our protection. But, she was going here and there, causing unnecessary trouble.

That's why, from now onwards; she won't step outside of her house. Appoint a female bodyguard for her. Whatever groceries or the female products she needed for the rest of the week will be handled by her. No matter what, she shouldn't put a single step out of the house."

"I absolutely agree with you, Young master. Looks like even Mr. Rodin thinks the same. Just today morning, He called me and said to house arrest her for a day."

"Eh? Cericia is in house arrest?" Wil was clearly taken aback by Silver's report.

As Silver nodded in confirmation, Wil thought, "I see, that's why she's calling me, probably for either a truce or for a challenge."

A grin appeared on Wil as he said, "good. Then, we shouldn't disappoint Mr. Rodin. We'll House arrest her for the next 3 days.

First, deactivate my old SIM card. Then, take her mobile phone away and also wifi router and television from the apartment. 

If Mr. Rodin calls, then, tell him that I'm teaching my fiancée a lesson by house arresting her for sending a death threat against me because I saved an innocent fellow. As for others, you can ignore or reject their calls…

Somehow, if any police dare on entering the compound with a search warrant with a stupid reason of her acquaintance making a complaint, warn them that they and their families will have to face the wrath of the Scarlet group. If some higher official contacts you, tell them they can contact her father for it."

Looking into Silver's eyes, he calmly raised three fingers, "Remember, Silver. For 3 days… she should be out of contact with the world.

In this day of age, even a day without the internet, mobile phone, and television will make one go crazy. I bet 3 days are enough to let her know that she can't mess with anyone she wanted to."

"Lord Louis?" Looking at Wil's expression as he raised the fingers, Silver mumbled in a shock to see the old Mafia lord on Wil for a few seconds and similar words resounded in his ears from his memories, "Remember, Philip, Storm, and Silver. For 7 days… He and his subordinates should be out of contact with the world.

Let send the police department into chaos by making the rest of their higher officials disappeared. Killing them is easy but they should know that not even police chief can mess with Vulture group."

"Little kid is becoming more like his grandfather. I guess the change might have to do with him living independently. I wonder how Phil will take this news. After all, he doesn't… Sigh…" Silver came back to his senses quickly and nodded, "yes, I understood. It shall be done. And what about the second thing?"

Wil's expression turned serious, "this is confidential. You are someone who is with him for almost thirty-five years.

Everyone knows that you and Storm are practically like younger brothers to him. That's why I can trust you with it.

But, Dad must know what I'm about to say. Can you really keep it from him?"

Silver frowned at first as he never kept a secret from Phil. Still, he nodded after deciding that he'll think about it after hearing the news.

Wil then said, "Within a week or two, there'll be an attack on dad. Not just a simple ambush from the enemy but someone from inside.

Dad ignores my warnings. So, I'm telling you to be careful."

Silver frown became deeper as he asked, "What is your source? Is it credible?"

If it were before, Silver wouldn't have thought about it deeply as Wil was just a 19-year-old kid to him but after talking with Aster and seeing the changes in him personally, Silver decided to treat his words seriously.

Wil replied, "I can't reveal who it is but I'm also not sure about its credibility either. That's why I want you to track all the accounts of our elites.

No, not just their accounts; look into their family and relatives' accounts and see if there's a huge transaction near or over 100 million dollars happened in the past month or two or not.

One must at least take that much money to try to assassinate someone like dad, right?"

After listening to him patiently, Silver shook his head, "no, assassins can never take full payment upfront. It goes against our code. It always goes with 10-50% in advance and the rest after the job. That's how it works.

And, young master, you greatly underestimate the value of Lord Philip. Mafia Lord isn't a title given to your dad by others but is a position given by all Mafia Dons to the leader of the strongest gang.

Even though our Vulture group is no longer as dominating as when your grandfather is alive, still, the value of Lord Philip's head is at least 10 billion dollars and can even go as high as 50 Billion dollars. So, we are always alert in each second.

Even if it's an advance, it'll cross a billion dollars. One won't be foolish to keep that much money in banks. Still, it doesn't hurt to check them once. I'll do as you said and inform you within three days."

"Fi… Fifty… Fifty billion dollars?" Wil's mind clearly was shaken by the shock. As he drank water and try to calm himself, Wil thought, "That means my life is even more in danger than I thought."

Then he asked, "Then, what about me, Silver? If his enemies can pay that much money, then just to see him suffer, surely there must be a bounty on my head, right?"
