Chapter 605 - "Quality Over Quantity"
When Ainsley first heard of the news about this year"s coronation event changing from the usual simple coronation ceremony to a nationwide tournament, the baby almost bit her tongue.
She looked at Martin, the one delivering the news to her with a face full of disbelief.
"Really? Awe ywou sure? Twis has nevel happened befole!" Ainsley touched her forehead and whined like a little kitten in distress.
Indeed, this was the first time the mafia council decided to change the simple coronation ceremony into something like a survival tournament show…
What are they doing, ah??
Martin nodded awkwardly at Ainsley.
"This is true, boss. I also dug out more information aside from the official statement, and I caught some conspiracy theories…"
Martin, who betrayed the Golden Scale to save the Godfather, had completely defected to Ainsley"s side.
After that war, he came clean to Ainsley, and Ainsley also accepted him into the family. She even protected him so that the Golden Scale couldn"t kill him to erase all evidence about their group.
Through Martin, Ainsley managed to know more about the Golden Scale, which was why her family"s growth wasn"t hindered at all despite the Golden Scale"s various attempts across the months.
As someone suitable to be a spy, Ainsley put Martin into the intelligence agent department, turning him into an information seeker.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Ainsley supporting Martin, the guy assembled his information network team, plus creating a group of spies and slowly infiltrating various mafia families.
Of course, the department was just established in a few months, so Martin"s efficiency wasn"t that high yet.
But in terms of discovering conspiracy theories between the various mafia families, he was the best.
"I got insider information from the mafia council that the mafia council"s true goal is to hold a great purge."
Martin ruffled his short red hair and sighed as he looked at the baby sitting behind the office desk.
"Nowadays, there are so many mid-level mafia families, but not all of them are registered."
Martin fixed his bow tie before continuing.
"Because of this, there are some unregistered mafia families who actually work together with the government, becoming a spy and something like that."
In other words, the ambiguous status made it easy for these mafia families to defect to the government side while silently selling out their comrades.
The other mafia families didn"t know that these families weren"t registered to the mafia council.
After all, they"re a group of gangsters, criminals. Why would they care about registration and things like that?
Thus, many families fell victim to these families, and unfortunately, once these spies took down a family, they would disappear and take upon other identities.
Or they simply became the family that they took down.
The name of the family might still be the same, but the people in charge of the family, the one controlling it, were already different.
Listening to this conspiracy theory, Ainsley shuddered from head to toe.
"T-the government went as far as taking over some families and pretended to be a mafia family?"
Ainsley had already stopped using her cutesy language. After all, this idea was too dark for her.
How could the government be so sinister, ah??
"Hum, precisely, boss." Martin let out a wry smile as he rubbed the back of his head.
"That"s why to prevent these mid-ranking families from entering the high-ranking family society while remaining a spy...the mafia council holds the tournament."
Ah, so the tournament is just a filter.
"I also heard that the mafia council wants the new high-ranking family generation to be better than the previous generation. Quality over quantity."
Martin clicked his tongue when he said the last sentence.
After all, it means that the mafia council was ruthless enough to abandon the other mafia families to support a promising one.
The mafia council was undoubtedly a force separate from the 7 great and 7 sacred families.
They consisted of old foxes that had kept their influence far and wide to protect the mafia society balance and also to protect the mafias from the Godlif country"s government.
Take a look at the other human nations.
Without a mafia council acting as the knot to unite the mafias, the mafia society abroad was tragically suppressed by the governments.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne could say that the mafia society in the Godlif country was so elite, thorough and careful that they managed to be on par with the government!
It was still a question of how the nation didn"t fall under many treacherous mafia families" schemes and businesses.
All in all, the mafia council had a significant role.
Undoubtedly, their decision this time was indeed alarming for the mid-ranking mafia families who wanted to advance to become high-ranking families and entered the higher society circle.
This applied to Ainsley. The baby rubbed her chin and slowly tapped her fingers to the table.
"Do you know the content of the tournament? And like how many participants will attend? Do we have to register or something?"
Fortunately, Martin was a competent informant. He quickly told Ainsley everything about the tournament.
"We don"t need to register our family. The mafia council automatically includes all mid-ranking families with certain requirements in this national tournament."
The requirements were, of course, the territory that a family had, their net worth over their business, their reputation (either bad or good, doesn"t matter), and so on.
"We can check whether our family is included in the tournament participant list or not. They have a website for that."
Martin quickly guided Ainsley to check the website, and the baby couldn"t help but click her tongue in awe.
They even made a website for this major event...how come they behaved more and more unlike a boorish mafia family?
They"re so prepared!
