Cruel enters the streets ready to deliver his speech, the look on his face is awkward. The feeling inside him were of sadness, anger and eagerness. He he kicks the soapbox into touch and begins to speak.

You will remember last week a bunch of people were killed for being part of an underground crew planning on killing innocent people. Since then there have been various speeches about the matter and of bloodline hunting. I will not go into bloodline hunting as i have already given my feelings on that in a speech made by SyrupWaffle.

What i want to do today is send out a warning, which can also be looked at as a plea.

Unfortunately today one of my best city member and my personal LHM, ePiC was killed by myself for conspiring with underground crews. It is quite distressing that someone in such a high position of power and a trusted member would do this. ePiC was a great guy and got caught up in something bad, i took action against him after he refused to give me the names of the people involved in this 'crew'. It was a hard decision for me to take as he had become a good friend of mine. But by not revealing the names of others involved in this 'crew' he was putting members of not just my city, but our community in jeopardy. He did plead to me that the people involved in this had since changed their mind's and wanted to live in peace. Unfortunately i do not believe that and i am not willing to take the risk.

I want to send a plea/warning out to everyone out there that is actively involved in these despicable underground crews: Don't be stupid. You will not get anywhere, you will not prevail. You will however, die.

Right now, there is reconstruction going on in every city, there is a land of opportunity and a good chance for everyone of getting a slice of the pie. This is why i do not understand why people are so bitter about recent war's/takedowns. The victors of these recent wars are still alive and rightly so and are now busting balls to help reconsturct our world.

It's about time the bitterness was gone and people started to move on with their life and forget the past. It is the future that is ahead of us and that's all everyone should be thinking of. Take this chance to shine and make the best of the opportunities ahead of us.

It's time to move on.

Don't be stupid.

Cruel smiles to the crowd and heads back into his HQ for a stiff drink.

Wow.

Even though I'd already heard through the grapevine the reason behind Epics death, it still surprises me that he managed to get caught up in this sort of action.

Kudos to you, Cruel. It takes a strong leader to take actions like this and prove to these fine cities the intent to help re-build is more than just words, you've proved today that you're willing to take action where necessary to ensure the safety of everyone and not just your own family.

I hope that your plea doesn't fall on deaf ears and is heard by those involved.

Whilst it was a shame to see your LHM die for his actions. I couldn't agree more with you Don Cruel.

Now is a time for re-development, re-shaping and re-building. It is a time of new opporunity and offers opportunities for people from all walks of life. In this day and age it is unlikely that we will see a successful underground rebeliion. So pack up, go home and get back into our way of life. It is petty to see you plotting takedowns for these warriors actions.

Let me ask you all something, Deimne was the Capo Di tutti Capo. He lost an empire, he witnessed his city and all his long life's work destroyed. Do you see his son on our streets plotting the demise of Cruel and the other leaders? No, he has brains. he knows it was business, not personal. These underground groups are bad for business, and bad for your health.

Take a word of advice, don't get involved.

~E~ heard the speech and thought of something about it.

My father had done his part, he gave all the best he can do to the family of Las Vegas, he choose to keep silence on something coz he knows that one blood is enough to finish all the city was afraid of, he had just done what he knew it is right, he chooses to be silence for the sake of all who wants peace and forget all the things that happened, My father is one of them yes and he will not deny it, to be a part of them but nevertheless he had tried to stop it inside when he was working on it, never ever one of them thought that my father is diverting things to time frame so they will all forget the hatred that they kept inside of them, actually it works, giving them time frame lets them forget everything, actually even my father never thought it does happen, he never thought it will still come out, but he prepares himself about it when it happens, the only mistake he had done is to trust a family that he serve well with dignity and pride, protect them from any harm, keep them as his very own, serve them with all his strength. My father never ever keeps anger neither to himself against them nor to others. Other may disgrace him for what he had done other maybe on fire of anger but it will cool down in time, other may pity him, but still there is only one thing he thought to everyone he encounter be cool, be fair, gain friends, keep up the good work, do your very best, protect the people that is very dear to you from any harm. They will keep you in time, even if you are lost; they will look and will find you.

As my father told his former boss, Cruel, before he hit the trigger on my father’s head that all of that has already been put to trash by them and started living the way other are right now and they are happy for the peace they are having now. If you don’t believe my father, just believe in what you see and your surrounding and you will see that my father is telling the truth.

listens to the kid try and defend his fathers corner and laughs

Your father was a LHM for him to beinvolved in the first place warranted his death. For him not to give up the others he knew of show's his complete lack of respect for Cruel the man who gave your father the position in the first place. You should be ashamed of yourself, why your father didn't come to Cruel in the first place astonishs me.

The idea of Rogue Crews is some what understandable when the people involved are young and don't really know any better, but with recent activities, these people were old, wise and should have known better than to betray their family leaders. I was very disappointed when the recent take down of the "crew" consisted of 3 members of my family, 3 guys that were no newbies, one man who's father was a Godfather, it was very annoying.

As far as epic is concerned, considering his rank, he could have rogued a long time ago, but didn't, so I'm guessing beside the fact he didn't disclose the "crew" member names, he was killed in association to the underground buddies? - Which, to be fair, that associating with such people makes you just as guilty for not alerting your leader, weather they are friends are not, your duties lie with your family first, bloods thicker than water etc ..

There are no excuses, weather epic was telling the truth or not, bound by blood, associating with people who plan to break the Omerta and keeping quiet about it warrants the unfortunate punishment of death.

Joey_Cesari walks up to the crowd gathered around and makes his way up to Cruel and shakes his hand.

Hello Cruel, I am sorry for your lose, but I know you did what had to be done. Wheater the underground group has ceased to continue on its plan or not a LH should never keep silent about such information with his/her Crew Leader.

I also understand ePiC's point of view on keeping his silence but it still is no reason to not give up the required information to deal with the group. Reason being even if they had stopped their plan to disrupte our cities...yet again....once that thought had been in their minds it could very easily come back and we would just have to deal with it then. So why not just give up the info and let it be dealt with. Obviously his loyalties did not truly lie with his family and CL because even though his son has come out and stated that he kept silent to protect his family, in no way does that truly protect them.

Anyway I congratulate you Cruel on having the balls to stand up for what is right and getting the job done. I hope that this will be the last little underground group to pop up for a while so that we may continue on our track of rebuilding our cities.

Joey then turns to head back to his HQ while smoking a Cuban cigar and knowing all to well that this will not be the last underground group, but it is what it is.

:Sly grimaces while enduring the excruciating accents of some of his fellow mobsters:

Why is it so difficult to pronouce the word "whether" correctly?  You guys are hurting my ears.

:Sly produces a business card:

I was an editor, by trade, before joining this life, so if anyone would like assistance in preparing street appearances, I'd be more than happy to help. 

Especially ePic's son.  Man, kid.  It may be too early for you to join the trade.  Stay in school.  I could barely make our what you were saying.

Editor, by trade, asshole, by nature.

Could you be anymore condescending.

I'm going over their theyre there. Shut up.

I tried to be humorous about it.  I offered to help.  I was respectful.  More than I can say for you, chap.

Dear god, ZuZu, I can see you going far in this world!

You are correct, Sly, it was extremely disrespectful under the circumstances and I apologise profusely for the unnecessary outburst.

I sincerely appreciate your rectification, ZuZu.  Thank you.

Let's be honest epic, your father was LHM to Cruel, a very respectable position. However your father forefitted his trust the moment he was a part of an underground movement, therefore it would be unwise to believe the other statements he had made regarding the other members no longer wishing to carry out whatever it was they had planned. I can't believe an idiot like your father ever held such an esteemed rank of consigliere. If your father had any shred of respect left for Cruel he would have told him who the other parties involved were, unfortunately it just goes to show that some people have no idea of a mafiosi's way of life and the values of their Famiglia.

Crugeon shakes his head and walks off

im actually very sorry to hear this...im sure nobody else in these streets feel's as bad as Cruel about this what an absolute abuse of friendship and trust 

but like Cruel said....lets move on and i sincerely hope h moves on swiftly and his trust be granted to a loyal player who is willing to take on board how professional his advice and work ability is.

a perfect example on how these people should be dealt with

respect from philly

To remain silent when in posession of information that has the potential to harm your family, city, and even further, our entire structure.

To remain silent when in full posession of the members names of a group who`s intentions are completely against the current ethos of our society.

To refuse to divulge any evidence that would enable the removal of such a threat to our society.

And yet you want sympathy and understanding for your Fathers actions?

I personally have a real problem with that, and the sentence delivered for such actions was fair and just. I`m also relieved to hear that is the general concensus of opinion too.

Whilst it was a shame to see your LHM die for his actions. I couldn't agree more with you Don Cruel.

jamieboyd59

to start the ball rolling in something that may harm the family and leader he swore to protect and not say anything doesnt in my opinion deserve to ask for sympathy or explanations family members and even cities should and could have expected to trust you in matters such as...but all the time you took Cruel for a ride? this defines rogues...cheap unreliable confused and made us decent mafioso's  be made a fool of and expect for us not too act? these rogue players shall and will be struck down in these very streets long live the 7 true honest cities working hard to help and train mafioso's that wish to make a respectful and true living here

Stands there laughing for a bit.

Now, Epic was a great man and i am really annoyed he made that choice.

These "underground crews" are a joke. I am sick of it, the CL's and the higher ranked players are trying hard to rebuild and these people plot these petty things to hold the re-building back.

I laugh at these fools!

Now lets have it right, you all stand here slagging off Epic. What right do you have? Sure he made a mistake.. Who are you to judge?

If you're from LV feel free it's your city. If you knew the guy personally, have your tuppeneth. But all you mere GANGSTERS who stand here and judge this man for his mistake. This man was a consigliere, he was a LHM. he made a mistake, he was punished. get over yourselfs and go back to your business.
