City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1827 - 1787: Purge

Sophia went to call people, and Amore, who was still bleeding but had already started to bleed black blood, was stuffed into a burlap sack and taken away.

If Amore had died a natural death, he would surely have had a grand burial, but now that he’s dead, he’s simply remembered as a traitor.

Seeing Amore being taken away like that, Luca appeared even more fearful.

"Cosimo, I now appoint you as the second-in-command of the family, and Luca as the legal advisor for the family. Luca will assist Cosimo in handling all family affairs," Helena said, looking at the two of them.

In fact, now that Amore is dead, all the large and small affairs of the Mattio Family fall onto these two, though Luca transitioned from being Amore’s legal advisor to Helena’s legal advisor.

The position seems unchanged, but in reality, it has completely changed. He is now truly the legal advisor, whereas before, he hadn’t earned Helena’s acknowledgment.

"Miss, what’s next?" Cosimo looked at both Helena and Ye Qiu.

"The family is the final harbor everyone can rely on, so we must stabilize everything within the family this time. Cleanse those who need cleansing, and don’t involve those who shouldn’t be," Ye Qiu said.

He then took out a report of the investigation, on which he had circled names with a pen the night before.

It’s very clear who will be purged.

When Cosimo and Luca took the list and looked at it, they couldn’t believe how clear the two were.

"Miss, Mr. Ye, we will do as you say."

"Go, complete it within three days, the main objective is to rescue Helena’s father, the Mattio Godfather."

After Luca and Cosimo left, only Dante and Enzo remained in the room.

The two performed very well this time and were loyal; they would surely have their place in the family in the future.

Now that Ye Qiu had given them tasks, it was just a matter of waiting for these people to accomplish what needed to be done.

Truly, without complete control of the Mattio Family, many things would be difficult to achieve without people.

After Dantian and Enzo left, the study was still filled with the smell of blood, spilled from Amore’s death.

For people like Amore, Ye Qiu had no pity at all, especially since he had crossed the line by trying to coerce Helena into marrying another family’s young master.

Ye Qiu held Helena’s hand, and Helena leaned into Ye Qiu’s embrace.

From childhood to adulthood, although she had witnessed her father brutally deal with traitors several times, she found herself unable to confront it when she had to face it herself.

"Helena, many things must be done, or else it will be you who perish. Moreover, if there are things you find hard to do, you can delegate them to trustworthy people like Sophia, who is a maid but has quite the courage, and you are the noblest blood in the Mafia Organization, how could you possibly fear these things?"

"Qiu, I’m still afraid."

"After today, it will be others who fear you."

Ye Qiu knew that Helena’s advantage over others lay in the fact that she was the head of the Mattio Family, the daughter of the Mattio Godfather, and in this aspect alone, these Mafia families couldn’t compare with Helena.

Although the position of Mafioso Godfather has never been a hereditary one from family bloodlines, it has always been passed through personal capability.

From the first Godfather to the current Mattio Godfather, they were not from the same family, but all were recognized by the over a hundred Mafia families.

Ye Qiu stood up and opened the window. The wind from outside blew in and gradually dissipated the lingering smell of blood, but the pool of fresh blood still lay on the floor.

When Ye Qiu led Helena out of the study, he knew that from today on, this study would once again symbolize the power center of the Mattio Family and the future Godfather’s power center.

Coming down from the study, Ye Qiu noticed that this Baroque-style building was indeed quite excellent, though it probably cost Mattio several billion Euros to build.

As they walked in the expansive Mattio Family garden outside, family members passing by seemed different from moments ago, greeting Helena with the utmost respect.

Before, they would perhaps only behave this way towards Amore.

As Ye Qiu and Helena headed toward a garden, Ye Qiu asked, "Helena, did you see it?"

"See what?"

"The respect in their eyes for you."

If it was before, Ye Qiu knew it would have been impossible.

Indeed, only strength can earn these people’s respect.

After all, the Mafia Organization is truly a dog-eat-dog society—only when they fear your power and prestige will they behave that way.

Sitting with Helena, basking in the sunlight they soaked from the Mediterranean Sea and Sicily, Ye Qiu felt more comfortable, as did Helena.

Previously, in the underground chamber of the Vineyard for over a month, they couldn’t see sunlight, breathe fresh air, or even see the moon.

But now it’s completely different, and Helena knows that everything has returned.

After Sophia had someone take care of Amore just now, she seemed to have quickly resumed the demeanor of a maid upon returning.

"Miss, Mr. Ye, would you like me to have someone bring over afternoon tea for you?"

"Was he chopped up and fed to the dogs?" Ye Qiu asked.

"No, he was directly taken away and buried."

In the Mafia Organization in the United States, Godfathers often liked to feed such traitors to the dogs, and by the time police found them, only some bone powder consumed by vicious dogs would be left, with not even a shred of evidence.

And some might feed them to crocodiles directly.

That’s generally how it goes, so the outside world isn’t as simple as it seems.

As for cleansing, no matter how it’s done, it’s bound to be bloody. Ye Qiu didn’t need to ponder; he knew it had to be done for Helena’s safety. After all, the choices these people made have already sealed this path.

Besides, if Helena lost, the outcome would be the same.

As Sophia went to call people to bring Italian-style morning tea, with coffee, sweets, and red tea, enjoying all this in the warm sunlight felt terrific.

Even Helena, who originally had little appetite, felt much better.

"Qiu, what about my father?" Helena was still concerned about her father’s safety.

No matter if her father was a playboy or whether he was loyal to her mother, she knew everything came from her father, and her father genuinely cared for her.

"Helena, the stronger you are, the more united the family will be, and those people will have to ensure your father’s safety."
