And there is no doubt she would suspect we are the ones who carried out this hit, correct?\" Marcello questioned, trying his best to remain calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it matter? We could always just kill her,\" Viktor said nonchalantly, but Marcello knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that Cleopatra didn’t live as long as she did because no one wanted her dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lived because her father had established the foundation she now utilised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had mastered the art of deception, effortlessly blending between both worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Viktor, can you do that for me?\" Marcello requested, and Viktor nodded to show he was more than capable of carrying out such a task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be easy... She is a woman,\" Viktor said, his voice steeped in a Russian accent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sounded ignorant, but Viktor was the most dangerous man Marcello knew, and if he didn’t have him under his control,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he would have had him killed. But luckily, Viktor became a weapon he could use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Viktor... Do not underestimate that woman,\" Marcello warned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da,\" Viktor responded, eating a steak barely cooked, revealing his fang-like metal teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle was unaware of the recent development, but that didn’t matter, as he had his own goals at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he had to take Marcello down before he could cause any more trouble, but there was no way he could kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to find a way into his immediate circle first before he could do anything, but Alfredo was his only way of doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was a low-ranking member of the Mafia, and there was no way he would be able to get to the Don through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a start. Kyle arranged to meet with Alfredo, but it was in a neutral location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had invited him out, but Alfredo didn’t come alone; he came with a man whose name Kyle hadn’t caught yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alfredo, I’m glad you came,\" Kyle said with a broad smile. This was not the man Alfredo knew, but he was smart enough to understand this was to be expected, considering they were in a neutral environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised Kyle wanted to see him at all, as he assumed he would want to keep their relationship private.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfredo had originally come here because he thought Kyle had something important for him, judging by the way he spoke on the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\" Alfredo asked right away, scanning the environment for potential threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine. I wanted to talk to you...\" Kyle said, pausing briefly before looking at the man with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Privately,\" Kyle concluded, and Alfredo’s brows furrowed in suspicion. But this was Kyle—he knew it was in his best interest to remain on the good side of such an important asset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfredo gestured for the man to leave them be, and this confirmed it wasn’t a casual meeting Kyle had invited him to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Alfredo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have met with someone important, and I have no way of relaying this information to the Don,\" Kyle said, but Alfredo wondered why he needed this level of privacy to tell him this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about?\" Alfredo leaned in to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think the Mafia has a mole,\" Kyle insinuated, and Alfredo recoiled at this ridiculousness before a chuckle escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mole? There is no way,\" Alfredo said, but despite Kyle having no proof of this. He did understand that all of this was too smooth for it to be a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had to be someone on the inside relaying information to those on the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassination attempt, the attack on his life—what if it was all a bid to drive Marcello into a war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best way to take the crown of a king is by distracting him with a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all of this was made up, and Kyle knew if he had such \"valuable\" information, Marcello would have no choice but to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle was oblivious to the attack on Cleopatra’s life, and Alfredo wasn’t aware of it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something the family heads kept to themselves, but it remained vastly unknown whether they were aware Kyle had met Cleopatra or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcello would have reacted differently if this were the case, and Kyle would have been the first person he sent Viktor to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t, which showed this wasn’t an act by the Mafia—they had no idea what was going on, or at least Marcello didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was a big chance the man in front of him might be a mole or connected to one, yet Kyle was about to divulge valuable information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But would this single decision be the thing to tip the scale?\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-06T16:35:00.165Z",1,"novelbin.me","bba29593836932cba10242fdcea03b21a24b52950a5c05066d6ecdde937c5ac1","harem-system-spending-money-on-women-for-100-reb-chapter-317","harem-system-spending-money-on-women-for-100-reb-chapter-315",352,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fharem-system-spending-money-on-women-for-100-reb-cover.jpg"]
