The Banquet, Part 2 (Continued)

So she came today...

Even though she knew it was a conspiracy by her family against her, even though she knew she might not be able to leave this place, she still had nothing to fear.

Both the family and the Grey Hall have done everything they could during this period.

Now, it's time to reveal our hand.

Her words were direct, even skipping over the family's hard-won habit of hiding their murderous intent in their words. It was as if she had returned to the Age of Families, where meetings were all about real swords and spears.

In an instant, everyone realized that the time had come...

Without any hesitation or rehearsal, almost all the family members drew their weapons at that moment and aimed them at Madam Sicily, who was standing alone there.

The Texas Family members responsible for security around the room didn't say a word, but they silently blocked the door shut.

Upon seeing this, Lavinia became extremely anxious.

She was about to get up when Celinina and Lappland stopped her.

"Not yet~"

As Lappland spoke, she glanced at the time again.

"It's not time yet..."

"That's really strange."

Madam Sicily glanced at the weapons aimed at her and the menacing thugs around her, then turned to look at Salvadore beside her.

"I thought you wouldn't get involved in this."

"I really won't get involved in these things..."

Salvadore shrugged.

"Therefore, the Texas Family will not make a move."

"Snort."

Madam Sicily smiled, said nothing more, and turned to look at the others present.

At this moment, apart from the Texas Family and the Bellone Family, only the head of the Saluzzo Family has not taken any action.

However, before Madam Sicily could say anything more, the head of the Losoloya family spoke up again.

"You have already lost, Madam Sicily. This struggle will begin with your blood..."

"That's really confident."

Madam Sicily remained unfazed by the situation; in fact, she even raised her eyebrows with remarkable ease.

"Aren't you afraid of the Gray Hall's revenge?"

There will be no more Gray Hall.

The head of the Losoloya family shook his head.

"This morning, Siracusa officially declared war on Laterano!"

"By evening, Laterano had issued an order that all Laterano civilians must immediately leave Siracusa."

"I must say, Madam Sicily, you've chosen the wrong ally."

The head of the Losoloya family spoke, his words filled with excitement.

This is an opportunity... an unprecedented opportunity...

For a family of medium size like theirs, the existence of the Gray Hall has always been the biggest obstacle preventing them from taking the family to a higher level!

Today, if they can kill Madam Sicily, then the head of the Losoloya family will gain the greatest credit in this war of resistance!

This influence will last for several years, and he is confident that he can take the Losoloya Family to even greater heights!

They could even rival the Texas and Saluzzo Family!

"Those people with halos around their heads are not trustworthy; they will only follow their own country and will not get involved in anything outside of it."

"After the outbreak of war, Laterano will recall all Sankta... and not a single Sankta will disobey."

"You're all alone in your Gray Hall now..."

Losoloya spoke, his voice trembling with emotion.

He seemed to already see his future.

He will leave the most prominent mark among all the heads of the Losoloya family!

Meanwhile, other families were also making their move.

But the only one is the head of the Bellone family.

He was neither from a top-tier family like those in Texas, nor did he have any significant background, yet he remained seated, seemingly somewhat uneasy.

And soon, his anxiety became a reality.

"Going to war with Laterano? Just for your own benefit? What a beastly idea you beasts could come up with."

Madam Sicily smiled coldly, her expression unwavering in the slightest.

Just when everyone was oblivious, the sound of a window breaking suddenly rang out!

A large group of strange figures dressed in hunting attire rushed into the banquet hall, aiming their guns at their enemies.

Before the other family members could even identify them, they were targeted by weapons.

Anyone who makes any riotous move will be mercilessly shot in the head by these guns!

In just a few breaths, seven or eight more people closed their eyes forever.

"You're a little late." Madam Sicily wasn't surprised. She simply turned her head to look at the only old man among them who hadn't hidden himself.

He was dressed in a black priest's robe, holding an open dogma in his hand and carrying a shotgun in his other hand. He slowly walked up to Madam Sicily and looked around.

"I'm an old man, you should at least be understanding... Besides, we agreed to meet at nine o'clock sharp, but it's only eight fifty-five now..."

"Is it appropriate to make a lady wait this long? Gentlemen in Siracusa should arrive half an hour early."

"I'm sorry, I'm from Laterano and I don't know about these things... Besides, I met another lady before you."

"Ha... you old codger, so your spring has finally arrived?"

"That's unlikely. She wouldn't like me... According to the secrets of Laterano, she might have married the former Banshees Queen... and even had a son."

"Um?"

Madam Sicily gave Father Agniel a strange look, but he simply shrugged innocently, his attitude rather ambiguous.

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

Madam Sicily glanced at the vengeful head of the Losoloya family beside her and raised her wine glass slightly in a gesture of respect.

"It seems the companions I chose aren't as unreliable as you said... On the contrary, can you really continue?"

"... How did you manage to do that?"

The head of the Losoloya family had a ferocious expression, but he still couldn't understand why these Sankta would disobey Laterano's orders and remain in Siracusa.

One or two wouldn't be a problem... but now it seems... they didn't leave at all?!

And what about his men who were sent out to track the Laterano? Not a single word has come back!

"This is all at the behest of our dear Pope." Father Agniel squinted and slowly pulled a folded document from his pocket.

"The Pope, understanding that we had unfinished business, specifically replied after I raised the issue, indicating that in case of special circumstances, all Laterano in Siracusa could be managed by Agniel, that is, me, and that if necessary, a self-defense corps could be established to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of the Laterano were not violated..."

Father Agniel spoke, proclaiming to everyone around him the legitimacy of his presence.

"The Gray Hall is a legitimate organization we established, and its leaders are protected by the Gray Hall. Given this, our presence is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

After Father Agnier finished speaking, he slowly stuffed the document back into his pocket.

The head of the Losoloya family did not reply, but simply looked up and glanced around.

The second floor was now completely occupied by the Inquisitors of the Gray Hall, and the warlocks who had been prepared were all suppressed.

They held their weapons aloft, aiming at the family members below, while more than a dozen well-trained Laterano stood by, also aiming.

Even if they wanted to fight to the death, they had to consider whether their speed or the speed of the guns in the hands of these Sankta was faster.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for them.

But...

Losoloya turned to look at the Texas family head and the Saluzzo Family head, who were still quietly drinking their beverages, and gritted his teeth.

"It's not over yet..."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass beside him without hesitation and smashed it hard on the ground.

The ancient ritual of smashing a cup as a signal was performed once again, and the security personnel at the entrance pushed open the door without hesitation after hearing the sound.

The endless black mist completely obscured the light from everyone's view of the outside world.

They surged and gradually encroached upon the entire room...

This made even some people on the family side uneasy.

The three little ones were stunned, staring at each other.

However, for Madam Sicily, these people were their true adversaries...

Wolf Lord...

"Bang!"

The giant black claw slammed into the ground, causing a small tremor.

Dozens of blood-red eyes opened from the darkness, staring intently at the Madam Sicily before them.

The intent to kill was spreading.

The situation hasn't changed much; the key positions are still held by the people of the Gray Hall.

But everyone could sense that the atmosphere began to change with the appearance of these giant fog wolves.

Unbeknownst to them, the family on which the giant wolf stood had once again regained the upper hand!

"..."

"Are you nervous?" Father Agniel asked Madam Sicily.

Madam Sicily simply rolled her eyes at him.

"This is our first time facing these Beast Lords... Are you confident?"

"You asked me a similar question before... That time I said I was 30% confident I could handle one, but this time... I'm 100% confident."

Father Agniel shrugged, his attitude as nonchalant as ever.

Madam Sicily, standing to the side, was stunned.

She looked at the other person incredulously, a hint of confusion on her face.

The two have been friends for many years, and they both have a general idea of each other's abilities.

But this time, Agniel's answer was completely unexpected.

Are you that confident?

However, Father Agniel did not explain anything; he simply raised his head and looked at the giant wolves.

"Is this your choice, Wolf Lord?"

"..."

The giant wolves did not reply. They looked at the tiny creatures with disdain, then turned their heads to look at the head of the Losoloya family.

"Can't you even do this simple thing right? You've disappointed us..."

"... yes."

To the surprise of all the family members, the patriarchs they usually respected appeared extremely vulnerable when faced with these giant wolves.

They were trembling with fear, their faces pale, as if they had encountered something irresistible; everyone's expression turned extremely grim.

On the contrary, among the three little ones standing to the side, Lappland and Celinina exchanged a glance.
