Fate's Dark Side Chapter 775
I pleaded with them, and Marcel got a bit short.
"What else do you want us to do, Leo? We have been cautious. We even let you run this thing for a while in the East. Now that we have some action, you are doubting our break?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"I do not doubt our break. And for the record, you did not allow me to run things in the East. I had no choice because it was my territory. I have done nothing but maintain my place in the North. I do not appreciate your tone, Marcel," I said because his words were condescending. Saying they allowed me as if it wasn't my place, but they just humoured me. I was a bit mad.
"Calm down, Leo," Sylvester said, realising I was getting angry.
"Apologise to him, Marcel. You did cross the line there by saying we allowed him. It is his region, so he had to be in charge, and he did a damn good job at it. What you said was unfair," Sylvester reprimanded him taking my side. Marcel ran his fingers through his hair and apologised to me.
"I am sorry, Leo. I am just tired of this Yuri's bullshit. I miss my son, and I miss my quality time with my wife. I miss my life in general. I shouldn't take it out on you. We are all in this." He said, and I nodded.
"Hey, we were bound to crack at a point. The only thing keeping me is this whiskey", David added, and we all laughed and clinked out glasses.
"So what are you suggesting, Leo?" Theodore asked me, and I nodded.
"I say we mislead Yuri so he does not see us coming. We cannot be obvious about either of our movements. We have to confuse him," I said, and they were all attentive.
"The Stepanovs would be moving west to aid Alexei and Clay in the coming days. When I go to the East, we will send some men to the South to make it seem like we are planning on attacking the South. We will circulate news about Yuri's coronation and how it's treasonous and speak about taking back the South.
Other than the stolen packs and the freaks that took them," I said and paused to apologise to the Stepanovs in the room for calling their clan members freaks. Alexei and Clay laughed and told me to continue.
"We will also circulate a story about us taking the South. But we will make it seem like we are heading south, and when I mean we, I mean most of us. This will give Yuri the confidence to move with the lesser danger. Christain is holding the North well, so he won't come here, and Max and the Alphas in the East have proven to be formidable. He is bound to take the safest option, which is moving west, and would decide to have his meeting.
We have a scope to work with if the meeting doesn't take place. The properties Larry obtained for him will come in handy. As we noticed, most of those properties are in the area of the national theatre, so he is bound to be in that vicinity," I said. They could see my angle because they nodded.
"You know he is a master of disguise. What if he disguised himself and settled within the city?" Alexei asked, and I smiled.
"You will make it mandatory for every public structure to send information about new or strange people, preferably hotels and restaurants. We will have to run it with the Identification database. It is not like we will actually do it, but knowing he is careful and won't take foolish risks, he is bound to stick to his known circle and use his things to stay off the radar.
We will also continue to use Ighor to communicate with him so we will know he is still on course. Although we cannot trust his words to Ighor completely, we can trace the calls to try to pinpoint his location. But I have a gut feeling that he is already in the West," I said, and everyone was silent.
They could see my point, and Sylvester soon ordered everyone on what to do, and we sprang into action.
We decided to try to ensure that Yuri believed we were heading to the South to stop his coronation and take back the region.
