"They acted on impulse and you threw your country's face in the dirt, they were even warned by those sneaky people for something so trivial" Shaking her head, Kate continued "If you had acted maturely it would have all ended with that scandal, the kid would have gone on about his business and I'm sure we could have even worked with him."
"..." Clenching her fists tightly under the table, Margaret listened to it all in silence as immeasurable shame and humiliation coursed through her veins.
How could she not feel humiliated?
Since that incident, her entire family had been mocked within her social circle.
The family that locked up a 9 year old boy and caused a riot in a country.
The family that is on the verge of disappearance thanks to a 9 year old boy.
But that was not the most humiliating thing, but the reason why they did that.
All these problems because of a man who used to be a prostitute, a man who was nothing more than a toy for these women around her. To top it all off the bastard was a pedophile, something quite disdained among the elite of the elite.
A single Hollywood star made the Rockefeller scion lose her mind.
Worst of all, the damn kid grew up and showed his teeth, causing all the humiliation to escalate even more lately.
Nodding at Kate's words, Antonella spoke "This kid would have been a great addition to either of our families, no doubt his brain is great and his talent is superior in everything he does. I would have loved to have some offspring with his genes."
"But that's behind us" Nodding, Kate continued "As Margaret says, the child became a problem of all thanks to her. She has an unknown army, problematic contacts and her company has a voracious appetite, entering multiple industries and having great success in all"
"*Sigh* Worst of all, I don't see how to deal with him" Sighing bitterly, Kate continued "If we kill him, the Russians will go crazy. The fact that Dimitri sees him as a son makes this child the gem of the Bratva, needless to say if the child dies they will spare no expense to cause us trouble."
"But not only that is the hard part, according to our investigation the child achieved many connections with the criminal side inside the prison. The Italians, the Mexicans, the Colombians, among several other terrorists who are quite difficult to deal with."
"Even if we kill him and try to frame someone else, that old fox Dimitri won't think twice about blaming us, you know what a maniac he is and I'm sure he could even pull out nuclear weapons."
"But as if all that wasn't enough, he seems to have several contacts with a troubled family. The Kushner family seems to be supporting him for some reason. They should all know by now that this family has several ties to facists and people with extreme thoughts, they wouldn't hesitate twice to cover us with suicide attacks. Not to mention that the Kushners have quite a bit of influence with the Jews."
"The point of all this is that this kid is a hornet's nest, and while the mobs on this side don't worry us much, it's the Russians that are the most problematic" Rubbing the bridge of her nose, Kate continued "We've had quite a few conflicts with the Russians and it all ended up with several major losses for us."
"So taking all this into account, I can't come up with a solution that might not knock us down several pillars and end up shaking our foundations" Leaning back in her chair, Kate spoke.
"No doubt the boy is trouble" Nodding seriously, Anne continued "We can't lock him up in America, the public loves him and his mother is no pushover either, she has several politicians on her hands. Nor can we take away his company, they have over 90% of his consortium and refuse to sell, not to mention that if his company goes down, it is inevitable that the US economy will suffer, we can't take the risk of being in the crosshairs of those guardians of America."
"Nor can we attack his family" Shaking her head, Emma continued "Although it's obvious that his family is his weak point, this maniacal child will lose his mind over that alone. It's no different than rounding him up and having everything turn into an all out battle, the losses would be catastrophic"
"I also find the issue of their army problematic, we don't know much about what weapons they have or who is in it, we don't even know their range or how many they are. The most problematic thing with their army is that they have enough contacts and assets to have their own nuclear bomb, even we have a couple, this kid I don't think is any different" Looking at the image of the reports, Meaghan continued "If we get to kill him we would not only have to worry about the Russians and the various mafias, but also an unknown army that apparently according to their methods of assassination are extreme fanatics."
In just a few minutes, a great debate broke out among the 5 veterans of the place, all while Margaret could only watch silently and listen over and over again to how stupid her family was about it.
Unlike what you typically see in novels or movies, these families and ancient powers are not going to act stupid.
After all, they didn't rise to the top or stay in power for dozens of years just because they were rich.
If you kill an important member of their family, they won't run to slap you and threaten you in front of half the world.
No.
These people will discover your life, your desires, your fears, your ties, who you are and who you can be, all to finally destroy you completely without giving you a chance to show your teeth.
Not for nothing did Christian worry about these people, because he knows they won't give him the chance to take them down and if he attacks carelessly, it will be the very moment when his entire career will be threatened.
But even though these families are problematic and a meaning of fear for almost every rich person in the world, it's not all that bleak for our Christian either.
With Christian's influences and his entire trajectory, it can be proudly said that he is no longer someone easy to deal with, even for these people.
Unless they are willing to lose a big chunk of power and money, they will never go out of their way to take him down.
Even if Christian is able to damage them by 1%, it is already a billion dollar loss and something that was only earned with years and years of work.
After all the assets of these families are no joke, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they have more money than 50 small countries combined.
"We really can't do anything about that kid?" frowning slightly, Margaret took advantage of the moment of silence and continued "I don't think it would be that hard to just kill him and his family at the same time, it would be all over."
"*Sigh* This girl..." Looking at Margaret with disappointment, Kate continued "The problem here is not the child you want to kill, but his contacts. You may not know it, but if you were to ask me personally who the last people I would want to face are, I would say without hesitation 'The Russians'"
"..."
"The Russians and Chinese are not ruled like the rest of the world" Nodding at Kate's words, Antonella continued "Although our circle can proudly claim to dominate 60% of the world, we still have to take the Russians and Chinese into account. Two great nations armed to the teeth and with terrifying sources of information."
"..."
"We can't get into their countries without them knowing and they dominate everything inside. Something very different from the countries we control with a more liberal policy... in a way I envy those communist dogs" Chuckling, Anne continued "That's why we all came to a consensus, we will never mess with each other's descendants, let alone kill each other. The only war allowed between our groups is political, commercial warfare, and we can only kill each other's workers... it's mostly a chessboard where violence is secondary."
"There is a treaty with those people?" frowning slightly at the unfamiliar information, Margaret continued "I didn't know about that."
"*Sigh* It's not talked about much because it was a real mess" Sighing wearily, Kate continued "It happened about 20 years ago or so.... The U.S.S.R. collapsed and obviously the sharks wanted to devour it..... At first everything was going well, we opened banks, bought property, even China started looking for politicians to take over, but..."
"We got screwed" Chuckling as her eyes became misty, Emma continued with the story "It was all a plan by the 'Extinct' KGB... the maniacs released all the prisoners from the Gulag and attached them to their troops... first they gave us time to establish ourselves and spend personnel and money, all to then deal us a fatal blow without us expecting it..."
"*Sigh* At first it was all close, the Chinese were hitting Russia hard and obviously the rest of our circle would not be far behind... until a certain group of maniacs showed up" Sighing bitterly, Kate continued "A special group by the KGB full of incredible assassins well versed in just about everything. ...explosives, poisons, firearms, hand-to-hand combat, everything...these people scattered around the world and started killing our families one by one...it all became chaos but there were still more of us, until..."
"The Chinese stabbed us in the back" Chuckling, Antonella continued "The damn Chinese formed a treaty with Russia and started hitting us financially, closed our few banks and institutions inside their country, slaughtering all the people we had inside... after that the heads of families of that generation ended up compromising and came up with an international treaty where we transcended the boundaries of the world."
"Now tell me girl... can you guess who is the adoptive father of that child you want to kill?" looking at Margaret with raised eyebrows, Kate asked.
"Dimitri..."
"Exactly, he was the one who took over America" Chuckling, Anne leaned back in her seat and looked up at the ceiling "In those days your mother and I were still very young and hot-blooded... but since we are the two families in charge of this country, we practically grew up together and planned together..."
"You tried to kill him?"
"Yes..." Letting out a small laugh, Anne continued "We rounded him up and sent 200 special forces to close the area... 137 lives were lost that day and before we knew it, we had the legendary Dimitri knocking on our doors... I still don't know why he didn't kill us."
"He let you live?" frowning slightly, Margaret asked "Why would he do that? Wasn't his goal to kill you?"
"That was his goal" Nodding softly, Anne continued with bewilderment in her voice "But when he saw us, he just laughed and said 'What pitiful bitches', then wiped the blood off his face and left the place humming a tune... impossible not to forget that"
"..."
"Hahaha~" Suddenly laughing, Anne looked at Margaret with a big smile on her wrinkled face and commented "That day your mother chased Dimitri for two years to marry him, needless to say she had to be kidnapped and her escorts killed to stop her attempts."
