Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2166 - 2143: Bloody Ivan

Ivan had only received the go-ahead call less than five minutes ago, but he had been preparing for five days!

"Move quickly, gather everyone here, fast!"

After hanging up the phone, Ivan waved his arms, directing his men to bring Andre’s entire family to his side.

Andre was a big, pot-bellied guy; he was younger than Mario, but he looked older than the suave Mario.

The Italians placed great importance on family, and Andre had a big family, but most of his children had already started families of their own. Only his youngest son lived with him, and at this moment, Andre, his wife, and his son were all escorted before Ivan.

And they were kneeling.

After Andre was forcibly pushed to the ground to kneel, he spoke rapidly and angrily, but Ivan simply dug his ear with his finger and said indifferently, "Can’t understand, speak English. Russian is better."

Andre garbled out more words, and Ivan reached out, and his subordinate handed him a cigar.

With a cry-and-laugh face, Ivan knocked the cigar away and shouted, "Gun! Pistol! Not a cigar! Idiot, your action makes our footage so awkward! Delete that part, idiot!"

Ivan reached out again, and his bodyguard immediately placed a pistol in his hand. Ivan took the pistol and shot Andre’s wife with a bang.

Ivan blew Andre’s wife’s head apart with one shot, causing Andre to immediately go dumb, while his son began to struggle furiously, angrily shouting.

The two who held Andre’s wife released their grip, and her body fell forward to the ground.

With a grimacing face, Ivan shouted at the struggling, kneeling Andre, "Do you really think no one dares to mess with the Cicero Family? Hmm, do you?! F**k! You guessed wrong!"

After speaking, Ivan fired again, killing Andre’s son, his face menacing and excited, "You’re finished, you’re all finished, this is just the beginning. We will send every member of the Cicero Family to accompany you. This is war, this is revenge. What you played before was just child’s play, you fat pig!"

With another bang, Ivan fired the last shot, killing Andre, then tossed the gun. His bodyguard caught it with one hand and offered a cigarette with the other, placing it between Ivan’s two extended fingers, then quickly took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for him.

After taking a deep drag, Ivan blew a smoke ring, faced the camera, shaking his cigarette-wielding hand, and loudly said, "Mario, your brother’s family is dead, but this is just the beginning, just the beginning!"

After delivering his lines, Ivan coughed violently twice, dropped the cigarette and stomped it out with his foot, waving his hand on his chest, saying, "Smoking is bad, my lungs aren’t cut out for smoking anymore, but I think the effect should be good. Smoking cigars is too troublesome, you have to cut them, use matches, it’s too cumbersome, not good for crafting my cold image. So, how was the effect?"

The person filming with the DV loudly said, "The effect is great, boss, this is live-action footage."

Ivan nodded and said, "Edit out that part with the cigar before releasing it. Alright, kill all living beings, let’s quickly find the next target."

Striding out of Andre’s house, Ivan got into a car, watching as his men filed out of the house, each getting into cars and quickly disappearing into the traffic.

After a plainclothes person, with a few bloodstains on them, got into the car, Ivan softly asked, "How did it turn out?"

The person who just got into the car whispered, "Two dead, two wounded, the price wasn’t too high. Andre’s household guards were skilled, so the result is pretty good."

Ivan sighed and said, "Yes, only managing to take down two of the Cicero Family’s main members is quite a result. What about them? How many did they lose?"

"Thirty-two, not including Andre’s family. Thirty-two armed bodyguards, all taken out."

Ivan said sternly, "This is only the beginning. The Cicero Family wouldn’t think we’d turn our guns on all of them, so the opening moves are the easiest. When the Cicero Family becomes alarmed and gathers more guards, clustering together for safety, it won’t be so easy to succeed. Moreover, if the Cicero Family starts to hide, we can’t chase them all over the world, so we have to be quick, must be quick."

"Yes, we must catch the enemy off guard. The longer we wait, the higher the cost."

Ivan nodded and asked, "What’s the next target?"

"Stefano."

Ivan thought for a moment and said, "The Cicero Family has a law firm dedicated to serving them. The owner and the lead attorney are related to the Cicero Family. He has deep ties within Italy’s legal circles, and several members of the law firm have the last name Cicero. That law firm is nearby, and our people are watching it. The main characters are inside. There shouldn’t be too many armed guards, so we can go over directly and take out everyone from the Cicero Family."

"The main target is Mario’s brother, Stefano. He’s also a supporter of Mario, but Stefano is a tough one, I think before he gathers more guards, it’s better to take him out first. The lawyer is secondary."

Ivan waved and said, "Start with the simpler ones, kill them one by one, build momentum. There are some things you don’t understand. The bigger our momentum now, the easier the matters later. If we hit a difficult obstacle and people lose confidence in us, that’s a disaster."

"Yes, the target is the law firm. Should you personally appear this time? I think it’s best if you wait outside and let us go in."

Ivan laughed and said, "No, you don’t understand, I will appear, I must go on a rampage. I want people to fear me. I want my hands to be bathed in blood because I’m Grand Ivan’s nephew and his successor. I need to let everyone know I possess the same character as Grand Ivan. This way, when Grand Ivan hands everything over to me, I can intimidate everyone, preventing them from daring to lay a finger on me. Understand?"

"Understood."

Ivan smiled, "So for crafting my image and establishing authority, there’s no better target than the Cicero Family. Big, strong, famous. So, let’s unleash and kill without restraint. Bloody? No problem."
