Chapter 513 - 185: Gonzalvo's death (16)

At the mess hall, everyone eats in silence as the pain of losing the person who saves them and gives them shelter is tugging at their hearts breaking it into pieces

When they are done eating and clearing the table, Jorge, Julio's brother who is the calmest of them all stand up and clear his throat before he addresses everyone including Gonzalvo, Morgana, and her team

" cough, cough, everyone I know that all of you are grieving just like me as we all love and respect the boss, 

As we all know, we don't have a leader now as all of them died along with boss Diego and our fellow members of the organization who attend the meeting that cursed day

We can't go on like this, we need to choose a leader amongst us, and that leader that we are going to choose is someone like boss Diego, a person with a heart for people like us

Since I am aware that all of us have the heart to eat and mingle with others as we all want to go to our room and grieved in silence, I decided to stand up and say my piece as I started this meeting much earlier than planned. 

When I came over earlier, I thought that everyone is already aware of boss Diego's demise, that is why I didn't bother to inform all of you about it

But now that you know, when our fellow here, Felix blurted it out due to his irritation for reasons that I don't want to know, all of us are now badly affected by the sudden blow that hit us because of boss Diego's passing

As he says those words, his gaze lingered for a while in Gonzalvo's direction before he continues to speak 

Now, I am asking all of you to compose yourself and be strong just as I was trying to do right now. We need to continue the work that boss Diego started in his honor.

But first, we need to choose a new leader. But before we choose, I am telling all of you not to choose me, as I don't have the capability to lead everyone and become a leader

All I can do is to give my utmost support to anyone who will be chosen to be our next leader

The second reason why I ask for this meeting is to ask everyone to work as hard as before, in honor of boss Diego, we need to make this organization grow as he wanted it, we will give our full support to the newly established branches in California to make sure that it will grow and our strength will expand as planned

As for the death of boss Diego, if you are thinking of avenging their deaths.......

Jorge paused for a while, letting everyone fully absorbed the things that he is going to say next as he surveyed the faces of all the people around the table 

I am asking everyone not to do anything foolish that will endanger your life or even cause your death

As a matter of fact, the first thought that came into our minds, I and my brother Julio is to find those people and avenged the death of boss Diego, and our fellow members 

But... Knowing that whatever we do, there is no way that the two of us can do it. We can't avenge them and our efforts will only be in vain, as we will end up dying in their hands following boss Diego and the footsteps of the other. And that is dying in the hands of those people

You may think that I am saying this because I am a coward, but no... I am not, you may not know it because you haven't seen the video, but I did. Those people are like demons who can kill many people including the experts, in one go with just a wave of his hand

That person alone can kill a bunch of experts, while his companions killed using high caliber weapons mercilessly

How can we beat those people who are like demons? We will certainly avenge the death of our fellow members and boss Diego. But this is not the right time to do it

First, we need to strengthen ourselves and our organization by continuing to expand it as boss Diego has planned and already started

We can make it happen if we work together. So now I am leaving everything for all of you to decide and do choose wisely"

After Jorge finished his words, he sat down in his chair again and waited for Ramon to start the voting for the new leader

Ramon stands up and sweeps the mess hall with a quick glance before he started to speak;

" My friends and fellow members, although all of us are grieving at the moment, what Jorge said is true

We can't go on without a leader so I am asking everyone to think carefully and choose wisely" 

After saying that, Ramon sat back and waited for anyone who wants to talk to share their opinions or vote for the one who they think is capable of being a good leader

The room fell into dead silence as everyone is thinking of, who is the perfect person for the position of being the new leader as the name of the position itself held a heavy commitment to the people who are working in the organization

Everyone is busy with their own thoughts when suddenly, they heard a voice from out of nowhere as that voice said;

" Me, I want to vote myself as the new leader. Even though I am not working here in the secret facilities because I am working outside in the field with our fellow members, I do know that I have all the right to vie for the position "

Gonzalvo, who was sitting beside Josephine said as he looks, everyone in the eye as if his eyes are pleading them to choose him

Morgan's who is sitting between her sister and Armando smiled as she listens to Gonzalvo, shamelessly voting for himself as the new leader

Before they came to the mess hall, Morgana and her team, Arriane, Armando, Luigi, Jewel, Loida, and Victor had a meeting in her room and make a plan as to how they are going to execute the plan

As part of the plan, they eat with all of the remaining members of the organization who are working in the secret facilities while waiting for the right time

Now, after listening to Gonzalvo shamelessly announcing that he wanted to be the new leader. Morgan's smiled as she thinks that the time has come for them to execute their plan
