Chapter 613 - "A Hidden Test"

The mont the woman's words fell, the whole venue went into an uproar.

What? The first round only had 80 slots? But there are 100 families here! What does it an? There will be 20 families who can't enter the first round…

And why is that?? How do one get the slot for the first round?

Many bosses with hot-blooded nature couldn't resist raising their hands and directly asked the woman.

"What do you an by that? If only 80 slots are available, what will happen to the other 20? How do we get the slot?"

At the boss' question, the woman just tugged the corner of her lips calmly and slowly opened her mouth.

"Well, I don't know. The council only told to tell you this information. For the rest, please guess by yourself."

When the woman said that, the bosses instantly broke into another uproar.

"This is absurd! The first round only accepts 80 families– does it an 20 will be eliminated even before the first round starts? Nonsense!"

"How do we eliminate other participants? The council doesn't even tell us the ga's rules. What if we accidentally break the rule?"

The mafia was unrestrained, but if it were the rules set by the mafia council, they would have to abide.

This was why many families tried hard to send their people to join the mafia council!

At the very least, their people in the council could make sure the council wouldn't give out any disadvantageous rules or announcents to their family.

So of the middle-ranking mafia families in the hall had a few people inside the mafia council, so they imdiately contacted their people to inquire about the strange announcent.

The others racked their brains with their subordinates, trying to guess how their family could enter the tournant's first round.

Ainsley's people weren't an exception. They imdiately crowded around Ainsley and talked to her with solemn faces.

"Boss, what to do now? I don't understand what's going on with this tournant, " Jevon casually comnted as he looked around the lavish hall.

"Yeah, yeah. Do we have to kill each other or what?"

Ethania snorted and just spoke those words to joke around when Ainsley suddenly looked at her and smiled.

"How do you know that we are in a battle royale?"

...huh?

When Ainsley's clear voice rang in her people's ears, all of them suddenly fell silent. Ethania, the one who casually blurted out the comnt, almost bit her tongue.

W-wha-WHAAAT?? A-a...a- a battle royale? Now?!

Ethania's face paled. She imdiately lowered her voice as she spoke to Ainsley.

"B-boss, you're joking, right? A battle royale...at this place? In the hall? Right now?"

What is the mafia council thinking, ah?! Isn't this the sa as hurting their own society? How can they do this??

20 families will be wiped out in just a night...that is bad for the mafia society! Especially when these families are about to beco high-ranking ones…

Absurd!

However, Ainsley didn't think so. She rely giggled at Ethania's words and calmly responded.

"The battle royale is only targeting the family heads, ah. Even if the family had died, the family back at ho would choose a new successor."

Either the prepared heir or other ambitious people inside the family. Many will also try to make the young heir as a puppet family head–

Just like what the Sloan Family planned to do in the beginning.

Of course, there are chances that the branch families will take over the family, replacing the deceased family head as the new boss.

But the situation will undoubtedly be chaotic within the family, and it's a chance for the mafia council to give a hand.

That way, the mafia council can control the family from the dark, never letting the family beco a double spy for the governnt.

That's...quite a cruel yet effective plan, ah.

After all, the mafia council's goal is to protect the mafia society from outside forces.

But recently, there have been too many influential mafia forces with ambiguous stances.

If they didn't clean these families, the mafia society would be in chaos, and internal strife would rise exponentially.

That would make it easy for external forces to weaken the mafia society's influence in the Godlif Country.

Soone said that this is what happened to other mafia societies in various countries except for the Godlif country.

Internal war would bring more harm than benefit. If it's just your daily battle to rob territories, it's okay.

But when it becos annihilating the whole family...just like what Ainsley did…

That's troubleso.

And maybe that's also one of the reasons why the mafia council wants to suppress the Sloan Family so that they won't absorb other mafia families and fight with the Aretha Family.

Ainsley didn't know any of this, but she knew that the mafia council wanted to clean the middle-ranking mafia society, filtering those who weren't suited to be a high-ranking family.

And that's how they made this cruel battle royale even when there were children in the hall.

Ainsley's eyes glinted coldly as she looked at her people.

"The purpose of this banquet is to force us into a battle royale. The tournant started the mont we stepped foot onto the island."

Ainsley let out a small sigh. She finally knew why the council insisted on holding a welcoming banquet and forced all the participants to arrive.

Moreover, they limit the number of subordinates that could accompany the family heads.

This is clearly to test the family head's combat skill even with limited personnel.

The council is also testing the family's elite personnel, whether they can guard the family head well or not.

At this thought, Ainsley's eyes turned cold.

Want to test ? Hmph!
