Taken By The Mafia Lord

810 Going After Richardo

Everything had been going well for Victor until…

“I just got reports from the other team, the mission is accomplished,” The caporegime informed him.

While the underboss should have taken up this mission, Marcel had considered Adele’s condition, and Victor decided to go instead. He was more than just a consigliere, a soldier that Marcel trusted with his life.

Moreover, there was no way he could sit at home and continue with the title of an advisor while the others catch all the fun. His abilities would get rustic and he wanted to feel the thrill of the hunt again. Victor was oddly invested in Richardo and if there was anyone that would get him, that would be him.

So he picked the best caporegime from all the divisions and formed two teams. While Marcel would deal with the exchange, he would make sure that Richardo has no life to return to – if he does escape from the negotiation alive.

The first team’s duty was to burn down Richardo’s drug house and they already located the warehouse where the drugs were being stored. They would leave no man alive while burning the warehouse to the ground. And now that it was done, the second phase of the plan has begun.

The blood bath.

Victor and his batch of soldiers were currently hiding outside Richardo’s residence and were waiting for his order to move. Marcel’s order was to leave no man alive, except for children and women. His cousin worked with that code of conduct and every member of his organization worked with that.

Before they parted ways, Marcel already expressed his doubt about Richardo showing up at the depot tonight and if that was the case, it was up to him – Victor – to deal with the bastard. And he was determined to see this to the end. Anyone that dared lay a hand on his loved ones would meet the wrath of his bullet.

.....

Hence, the instant Victor gave the order, they set to work immediately. The soldiers worked as a team, with two of them lifting their partner enough for him to climb over the large fence and get down to the other side.

Then they waited outside patiently and in no time, a muffled gunshot and a man’s grunt were heard and the next, the gate was opened for them. They all got inside, careful not to get caught by the surveillance camera.

The operation was meant to be stealthy and quick and thanks to the cover of the night they were able to infiltrate Richardo’s residence. But then, it was not long before one of Richardo’s men on patrol found one of the bodies and raised the alarm. They were under attack!

“We have been discovered!” Victor warned his team to be watchful. And thus, a shootout between both sides began.

Before they set out on this mission, he and Marcel had planned everything out carefully. Taking into consideration the number of Richardo’s men and the obstacles they were likely to experience on the way. Hence, it didn’t make sense to Victor when they got outnumbered.

“Quick! We have to retreat!” Victor announced when they came after a heavy fire. Whatever Richardo did, it was obvious that he had outside help and the guys were brutal and skilled, unlike Richardo’s sleazy men they took out earlier.

They would not win at this rate, not to mention they had no idea what, or rather who they were dealing with. As much as Victor was eager to destroy Richardo, he also knew when to give up on a losing battle, and right now, this was one of them. They had no reinforcements who could back them up and perhaps then they would have a winning chance.

“Retreat now! I said, retreat!” Victor shouted at the top of his lungs and watched with horror as his people fell one after the other. They were being surrounded and if they didn’t leave right now, this place would be their burial ground – and he wasn’t ready to die in the enemy’s land. He had his pregnant fiancé to return to.

He grabbed the capegrim and was about to drag him away when a bullet hit him and the breath was knocked out of his lungs. Although he wore a bulletproof jacket inside, he still felt the impact from the projectile and it hurt as shit.

Victor fell to the ground, but that didn’t stop him from picking up his gun and shooting at the bastard that got him.

“Victor!” It finally dawned on the Caporegrim at that moment and he reached out and pulled Victor from the heavy gunfire, the both of them taking cover behind one of the pillars in the foyer.

“I couldn’t even get an inch to Richardo,” Victor hissed, his breathing ragged as he held onto his side where he was shot.

“We will get him another time, we just have to make it out of here now. We don’t have many people left.” The caporegime

“Fine, you have my back, I have yours.” Victor gave out instructions and started a countdown.

At the count of three, they both stepped out, taking out the targets they already spotted from their hiding place. It was tough but both of them made it out of there, along with some of their men. And things seemed to be going well for them until Victor somehow looked through the chaos and spotted him.

Richardo!

And he was being flanked by two men who were hurriedly leading him to a car parked on the lawn.

“I see him! I’m going after him!”

“No, Victor!”

The caporegime tried to stop him but it was too late, Victor already took off. So he had no choice but to follow after him too.

“Richardo!” Victor shouted, pulling the trigger at him from that distance, but he felt the hot pain sear into his flesh instead.

His world reeled and the night sky was the last thing he saw before his eyes closed.
