BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65 Manresa Family
"Silphine Organization is an organization under the Italian Aragona Family, an archenemy of the old Manresa Family who was once involved with the Mafioso issues in Italy. The Manresas of course turned into a solid literati family after the Mafia Wars in that country."
"Once Old Man Manresa discovers that the Aragona Family or anything under them has plans to assassinate you, another Mafia War might occur between them." Maynard wiped his forehead just thinking of the consequences.
"You really need to enter the Manresa Manor. Everyone under the Aragona Family knows of its position against Manresa. Once someone of the family sees you entering or even becoming involved with the Manresa, they reach the ears of the patriarch, they will immediately stop their advance. No one between Old Man Manresa and Patriarch Aragona will want an all out war to begin between them just because of an order from an outsider." Maynard said.
When Matthias heard that, sweat trickled on his forehead and his eyes enlarged. Maynard noticed that and asked worriedly, "Why? What's wrong?"
"Uncle, I think you've got to hear this." Matthias gulped.
He ordered Echidna to search for all the Silphine Organization's missions beforehand. While listening to Maynard, he was looking at the files, referencing the knowledge of the datas and files that were found.
He saw that there was an order to kill his father there. He was angry, yes. But Maynard didn't notice that when he was explaining.
The problem was…
Matthias took out his phone and transferred the datas that he found from the eye contacts to the phone and handed it to Maynard.
"Where did you get these files?" At first, Maynard was shocked to see the Silphine Organization's logo on the file, which means that this could be an assasination order from the organization.
He then saw the order, "High-grade Lead directly nade for poisoning?" He looked at Matthias and asked with confusion, "What's this for?"
"Look at the date of order." Matthias said shakily. By now, Matthias was tearing up and his eyes were reddening from anger and his hands were crumpled into a fist.
Maynard was baffled by Matthias' state but still looked at the date. "March 21st of 2016?" Maynard was confused at first but was suddenly remembering something that he wouldn't like to associate with.
Unfortunately, Matthias beat him to it, "My mother died on March 24, 2016."
"For a private plane, it would take a little more than a day for a flight from Italy to the Philippines to arrive."
"My mother was said to die from stress but no one saw the autopsy file."
"Old Man Manresa wouldn't look at the autopsy as he's too emotional and depressed at that time, that went on for two weeks." Maynard was shaking his head while thinking of the possibility.
"Are you proposing.." Maynard slowly uttered.
"Hello? Is this the Silphine Organization?" Matthias took his phone and played the audio from before.
Maynard listened intently and at the end, raged. "If I find out that Callisto has something to do with Aisha's death, I'll inform Old Man Manresa and do all that it takes to destroy him!"
Matthias gave the phone once more to Maynard. An autopsy file was displayed on the screen. "This is the unedited and original autopsy file of my mother."
Maynard read quickly and broke down. "Aisha. Why did I let you stay there?"
Maynard muttered, "I'll make them pay."
"Don't tell Grandpa yet. It's his birthday on Saturday, we don't want to upset him on his birthday." Matthias calmed him down. "We will get him soon."
"Let's go back to the Manresas. I'll sleep there." Maynard said.
"Sure." Matthias nodded. He said goodbye to Key, Jeremy, and Sana who'll be sleeping in Matthias' room. He informed both Jeremy and Sana to guard Key and Jeremy's parents as they are very powerful.
Matthias also called Key's parents to inform them that he's not going to go home with them. Stacy just wished him safety and let him go.
Matthias went with Edrick and Edmond to Maynard's car. Maynard also hurriedly entered his Range Rover car and drove towards the Manresa Manor.
The Manor is located near Banaue. It is small compared to other Manors, only sizing up to 300 acres of land. It was originally 500 but the 200 was given to farmers by Old Man Manresa for them to grow their crops.
When they arrived, Matthias looked around. It was a simple mansion, not showy, but still has its elegance.
They entered the house. Upon entering, they encountered an eight-year old kid.
The kid looked at the twins and Maynard, "Uncle Rick and Mond! Grampy Maynard!" The kid looked at Matthias and gasped, "Uncle Matt!"
The kid turned his face back and yelled, "Papa! Uncle Matt is here!"
"What are you yelling for?" Later, a man with a kind of muscular body arrived with a woman. He saw Matthias and gasped, "'Lil Bro Matthias?"
"Hello, Ol' Bro Mark." Matthias smiled and greeted him.
"Hey!" Mark rushed and hugged him. "Why have you visited? Is something a problem? You have no idea how worried we are when you were in a coma!"
"Sorry, y'all." Matthias chuckled half-heartedly.
"Can I go see Grandpa?" Matthias asked. Mark nodded, "Definitely. Grandpa will be happy."
Mark guided Matthias to a room far to the north of the house. There, an old cottage was built.
Matthias was slack-jawed, "Does Grandpa still refuse to enter the house?"
Mark chuckled, "You know his eccentric personality. Even before, he liked living as if it was the old days and sleeping below that old willow tree."
Matthias nodded. He walked towards the cottage and knelt outside, "Greetings, Grandfather. Your Grandson Matthias humbly requests your presence."
"Come in." An old but excited voice came from the inside. He stood up and opened the cottage door. Inside, an old man that still has the hints of his prime was seated behind the table. He was smiling dearly at Matthias. "Come here, Matthias."
Matthias walked and kneeled to kowtow, "Greetings, Grandfather."
"I have waited for you." Old Man Manresa smiled.
"Oh? So this is the son of Xiao Aisha?" Suddenly, an old man spoke beside him. Matthias was surprised because the old man managed to hide his presence. If he wasn't a god, he wouldn't have known that there's a person there.
