Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Closing the Elithera case

It was as if a hammer had been dropped in the midst of the wary group. On hearing the sixth brother’s confession, members of the family started to trade suspicious glances, and a few even moved away from those they thought could be part of the conspiracy.

As for Luna, she wasted no time in picking up her phone to do the necessary, all traitors were going to be taken down in one swoop.

“Lock down the compound.” she said into the phone.

Even before she finished issuing the command, two people were already running for the elevators. This reaction resulted in whispers and murmurs that rippled through the room as the two betrayers were captured.

“So it’s true, ha! no wonder you two were the loudest in rejecting my shaman’s help.” Luna lifted her right hand and laid out her black guns for all to see.

“Swift strike!” someone exclaimed.

Swift strike was the name Luna had personally given to both of the custom made guns. Anyone that was familiar with them also knew that when they appeared, someone was bound to die.

The appearance of the guns caused inevitable terror in the group. Some Elithera’s audibly gasped while others shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the two obvious traitors were dragged away by two men, to be executed.

“You…you….” The fourth aunt stammered and shivered but she could not foster energy to rebuke Luna.

Luna remained unnervingly calm, masking her emotions while stroking her guns, at any moment someone would be struck swiftly.

“Shhhh.” She hushed, the room quickly fell back in total silence.

The sixth brother continued narrating the story of how the Soprinos and O’Connors offered him a huge sum of money to betray the family.

“I signed an agreement with each of them which would see to it that the city is divided into three equal territories. If I became the boss, both the normal business and gang related boundaries would be respected, ending animosity and underground gang wars between us.

I also agreed to hand over forty percent of the family property to them. Tony Soprino also made it clear that he wants Luna to be his mistress, he will put a leash on her and treat her like a dog forever. It’s her punishment for shooting and paralyzing his arm.

All the women in the family that refused to surrender would be sent to the red district as prostitutes and the men to work in pink cocaine factories at the Northern boarder. The extremely stubborn ones would be killed or framed and sent to prison.

They used black magic to make Duncan very ill and cripple the financial blessings of the family. The shaman of Bayan lake gave only gave me instructions which i followed, i don’t know anything else about it. If you kill me, they won’t sit back and watch because i am one of them now.”

Again, shared gasps erupted in the room as disbelief swept over them all. They had been living like frogs in warm but boiling water, unaware of what fate held in store for them.

“You bastard!! you evil…” Judy fell to the ground and cried out.

The second brother stood up, his eyes burning of a fierce intensity and fixed on the confessor. “And you actually believed them? You stupid ungrateful idiot! Our parents picked you from the orphanage and raised you like one of their own. But you collaborated with our enemies to take over our empire and kill us all.” His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

The Soprinos were the second biggest gang in Magic city and the only surviving rivals of the Void gang, most gangs had been eliminated by Duncan when he took over. In his quest to control Magic city he had stepped on a lot of toes, it wasn’t surprising that people wanted him dead.

The O’Connors meanwhile were both business and political rivals of the Elithera’s, they had been wanting to take them down for a long time. Their enemies had joined hands to destroy them and the sixth brother had fallen into their trap perfectly.

Judy’s hand searched under the puffy pillow before she pulled out a gun. She cocked it and pointed it at the sixth brother. “I should just blow up his brains right now.” She spoke through pursed lips.

Out of the blue, more guns were released and everyone was armed including the teenagers and one ten year old boy.

All these guns were pointing at the sixth brother and many eyes filled with hatred and a single desire to fill his body with bullet holes pierced him.

“Oh-oh!” Connie exclaimed and vanished.

Even the ghost could tell that this was not going to end well.

“No! You promised!” Phoebe quickly stood up, her face was white like as though blood had been drained out of it.

She had never seen so many guns at the same time, all ready to be used. If one bullet went astray, wouldn’t she be shot as well? Phoebe looked at Luna, begging her to control her crazy family.

“Everyone please, there is no need for a blood bath, not now anyway.” Luna commented nonchalantly but her gaze warned them all not to dare defy her.

The fifth brother scoffed at Luna’s words. “If you think that you can head the family with a soft heart, then you better stick to singing. We must avenge our elder brother starting with slaughtering this pig right here.” He pointed his index finger at the sixth brother.

“Uncle, aunt Luna is currently in charge, to disobey her is to disobey the head himself.” A teenage boy said.

“No, he has to die, it’s the Elithera way.” A woman said.

Some people lowered their guns but others held firm, determined to kill the sixth brother. It set in motion a debate when the dourth aunt decided that they should vote on the matter.

As they were still deliberating on what to do, the sixth brother collapsed. Black blood oozed from his nose, ears and mouth. Phoebe moved closer, she lifted his eye lids and studied his eyes.

The sixth brother was beginning to show signs of physical deterioration.

“It has started, he is going to go through exactly what he wanted his brother to go through.” The Saxon spirit hovered around his body.

Luna moved and crouched near her uncle’s body. “These symptoms, i have seen them before. Father too had black blood coming out of his mouth, ears and nose before we rushed him to the hospital.”

Sighing heavily, Phoebe explained what was going on. “You don’t have to kill this man, he’s going to die in the way he wanted his brother to die. Slowly but extremely painfully.”

“Sounds like a good punishment to me, don’t you think so fifth uncle?” Came Luna’s triumphant voice.

“The same will apply to all those that were in cohorts with him and as for your father he must be regaining consciousness right about now.” Phoebe stood and cleaned her hands with sanitizer from her bag.

She looked at the Elithera’s and waved her hand once. “I am done, bye.”

Luna followed her out, matching Phoebe’s pace but maintaining silence until they reached the car which had brought Phoebe over.

“Thank you Phoebe, if you ever need my help please call me.” Luna put a hand on Phoebe’s arm and stopped her temporarily. She wore a grateful smile on her face.

“Same here, call me just in case you feel that something is wrong with your father.” A light smile tugged on Phoebe’s lips, she nodded and entered the car. Hoping that it was the last time she would ever get mixed up with the Elitheras.

Just as the car was making a turn, Phoebe heard the sound of gunshots coming from the compound and she sighed.
