Chapter 391 391: The Conclave IV
Was it perhaps wrong that Cole was now looking forward to the damn conclave, it was sure to be quiet interesting to see what this would all come up to. He sat back and listened, almost immediately it devolved into an argument between his grandfather and his brothers. They did not speak over each other though, it was obvious they all had a healthy fear of their elder sister.
But never the less it was expected the direction their arguments took. The civil war within this family has greatly;y affected the standing of the family, not just among social circles but business whys as much stocks had taken a plunge, especially when it became obvious it seemed Cole had a beef with the night family as a whole, their dirty laundry was out in the air for all to see and the world was judging them for it.
Cole had not really paid attention to all of that, he had a one track mind and all it cared about was getting stronger and gaining more power. The consequences of his action, or how people saw him was not something he gave a shit about. But for the rest of the Night family that depended heavily on their status and businesses, this was something that could not stand.
If they had just dealt damage to themselves then the extended family would not have cared, but their actions had far reaching consequences hence the reason why a conclave had been called. Soon the talk spread to sanctions and attempts to have Cole's grandfather removed as head of the family, or at least suspend him a bit while someone else took over.
The moment that suggestion had come up, Cole's grandfather had kept quiet, getting real silent as his brother continued talking. "You judgment is eschewed brother. It is choices that you have made, bad choices! Chief among them is getting married to that snake, and spawning descendants that are psychopaths and killers! Especially those two!" Cole's grand uncle pointed fingers at him and his aunt, prompting his aunt to roll her eyes as Cole's grandfather slammed his palm on his own table.
"I know you have always been a dog that would bite its own master, and a complete idiot with no idea how to talk. If it is discipline you seek little brother, I will be more than willing to give it to you in front of your own children and grandchildren. The next time you talk about my daughter and grandson like that again....I'll rip you to pieces kiddo and not lose a single night's sleep over it."
"Of course you wont! After all a tiger can not give birth to a dog, the same way a bloodthirsty psychopath would give birth to family killing monsters! Look at them! They don't look human anymore! They look like demons!"
The next second his grandfather's other brother was holding his grandfather back, trying to stop him for putting a fork through his brother's eye. Cole laughed, that escalated quickly, and everyone started yelling at each other. There were multiple enforcers within this ballroom, each representing the four branches of the family, and everyone was already inching their hands to their guns. If the leaders wanted to get bloody, then odds are shit was about to hit the fan. But Cole didn't want that, his brother's kids were here, not to mention He's growing safely in its mother's womb....he wanted it to remain that way.
"This is getting us nowhere! All of you shut up!"
However it was not Cole who had made a move, it was his brother Kaito of all people. Cole's eyes met his and his brother inclined his head to the side pointing at their grandfather and making a sign. Cole started back at him, not wanting to even move, but in the end they needed to get everyone here in line in other to really tackle the issues on ground. Having all the other branch family questioning the main family's leadership was definitely not the way to go.
"Yeah you should listen to my brother…..cause none of you would like the alternative if you don't." Cole said as he leaned back, placed his legs on the table and picked up a glass of wine, his mask, or rather his true persona, the 'World Breaker' coming out to play.
"Or what! don't think you have all the power here Cole! I will put you down like the rabid dog that you are!" Cole was not surprised that Darius would be the person to speak up, his feelings for Tehila would always make it that he would challenge Cole. Unfortunately for him…..Cole found it irritating and he did not have as much patience as everyone here thought he did.
"Delarosa....crucify him."
"Wait- Cole!" his father called out to him, hoping to stop Cole from potentially over complicating an already very complicated situation, but it was too late. Delarosa was the wrath of God and the fury of hell all in one. Darius was hanging from the massive chandelier above, both his hands stabbed through the ornate candelabras attached to it, his scream spread across the entire ballroom, as his blood spilled down over the table the grandfathers and granduncles were occupying.
Delarosa appeared behind Cole, her entire body a bevy of shadows as her head was covered by a hood. It almost looked like Cole had shadow demon or monster standing behind him. Then the scene was further driven home as Delarosa spilled into his shadow vanishing completely into his body as Cole emptied the wine glass.
"like I said….you should listen to what my fucking brother has to say…..please?"
No one else said anything as they watched Cole and Kaito. Kaito was standing, with a smirk on his face while Cole… the demon of the Night family sat there in an impeccable black and red suit, sipping wine and smirking, while their cousin hung above them, crucified by his hands and bleeding allover the elders of the family.
"That's so METAL!"
