Pretending to Be an Untouchable Crime Boss

Let it flow huh… James thought as he looked out the window to the people who were celebrating, cheering by the fact that they actually believed that that was going to happen, that they told the truth… well technically what they said was true, but rather than them it will be James's job to clear the streets.

But there was a big problem with it that they didn't think about, or at least not that much.

James's mind was all over the place with all of the deals, the production of the drug and what he talked about with Hector too, to smuggle weapons, to make sure everything worked like a fine watch, to be able to defend themselves if the cartel attacked. It was a big problem because their plans weren't flowing, it wasn't in order but all over the place, which just made everything worse… but it wasn't that that worried him, but the fact that they needed to kill more and more gangsters because it came with a big problem.

If there wouldn't be a national emergency, then it would be an easy task and something that James would need to do anyway, because the drug market is empty and a lot of motherfuckers would want to grab a piece of it, smuggling and trafficking drugs to those consumers that were waiting for James, the man who provided the purest of the pure, which would mean his customers would be wasting their money on mixed shit products. And the problem with that is that if once somebody starts using the mixed one, the drug is going to cause a whole other different experience than what the pure does.

It's even a disrespectful to say that the mixed one is a drug, it's shit that destroys life with the feeling it gives to the users, and they will just become more and more addicted to it, and if they then try the pure one, it will not give them the same feeling… which would mean no money, no market need for it.

So by this logic James would need to kill the competitors, more like the little rats who are mixing White Magic to ensure that his customers don't become addicted to that shit, and only buy pure products. And that's exactly why the problem is the national emergency.

First, even if they lied big about the zero tolerance thing, it's already in the people's minds and moreover even in the dealers' and criminals' minds, and to save themselves they would start snitching. So in that way they won't kill but send their competitors and enemies behind jails with words, while they can still operate. The other one is that with now the zero tolerance, if somebody starts a war and kills each other, the spotlight is going to shine on them and exactly what James worries about the most.

Ferucii and Hector's face and name is on social media, even if it's not that trending now, some people know them, those fucking self-appointed investigators and the journalists who dig into everything, and of course the gangs, the black market dealers.

If James just starts killing off his competitors and enemies, the spotlight will be turned on him, and the question will rise in everybody.

Why is it he can do it with no consequences? Why can this caliber of criminal roam the streets free when there is zero tolerance against them?

It would be too obvious that he has ties with the government to the civilians and to those journalists if they start digging deep and searching for answers, and it will just cause more and more problems, especially to the government when they talk big about destiny sending them to hard labor or executing them.

There are a lot of motherfuckers who want to see him dead, even though they don't know who he is. The Bellini name is echoing in the criminal underworld, and if he starts chopping and mowing them down, those fuckers are going to talk. They know how to save themselves and how to cause fuckery without shooting even one bullet. They just need to talk, just need a file, containing who is the Bellini family and every information about them. And if the news picks it up, there is no way the government can just stop it. It's going to spread like a wildfire that the family that killed Takoi Mario, killed the police chief, is still free, riding around his convoy and making hundreds of millions.

And it's not just about James or Hector and Ferucci, because now even Sophia is with them, who is well known by her beauty and by her fucking serial killer behavior. She is well known in the underworld, and James knew that the world was going to spread quickly that she joined the Bellinis.

Not even talking about that he is now sitting in the car with Benjamin, the director of the fucking NSBI, one fucking picture, one fuck-up, and it's all over.

This whole fucking shit, the deal he made with them, is the best and the worst thing that could've happened to them.

He and the Bellini family don't need to fear the government, the agency, or the military. He has freedom to do whatever he wants and how he wants. They supply him, they launder his money for him. But what he needs to do for them is not just something that could destroy his life but destroy the government if he does it wrong, it could descend the country into more chaos.

So how to do it?

There were two ways that James thought about, and it was really bad, something outrageous and unbelievably hard to do.

The first possibility is to kill literally everyone or have them kneel before the Bellini family. With the government's help, he could do it, but to be able to do it, he needs the agency, the whole thing to work together, close and ready with him. The problem with it is what he thought earlier, that then the question would come, why is there no action against him?

The one thing he thought about would give a straight answer to it, that he is an informant to the government, but that would just fuck up the whole family, and his men would lose loyalty and trust in him.

The second answer to it was, well, use the best weapon the government has, the thing they are unbeatable in.

Manipulation, misinformation and lying.

He starts killing off everybody in the streets, but he does it in a way that selects those who truly are fuckers, like the Braccachi family selling party pills to teenagers. There is no need to kill them, but to kidnap them and then the agency takes them from that point and so on the operation would go, and only kill if the enemy is resisting or a bit stronger. In that way, it would actually work on the government narrative, which they actually wanted.

Benjamin agreed that blood would flow and of course agreed because that's what they wanted. Just arresting and executing them wouldn't cause that much satisfaction, but if it came with a few shootings and deaths of gangsters and then bust them, it would be the best narrative, the best satisfaction to the general public.

Yeah, that would be the best outcome and to actually not shine a spotlight on the Bellini family, that could be done by actually launching a fake investigation about them and finding nothing wrong. It would conclude that James Bellini is a successful businessman owning multiple companies.

How good it would be, but it's not possible.

None of that would be possible because of multiple errors that the government made on the way. Like making that new agency and letting in people, to firing thousands of police officers and starting to gather again from the general public. Those officers and agents would be fucking justice driven fuckers.

"Fuck this bullshit and politics, why y'all even dragged me into this…" He said as he looked at Benjamin. But it was him who shook their hands. "All the reports and investigations were deleted about me, because it was part of the deal, but the fucking thousands out on the street truly want justice and the end of the fucking criminal era. They will be standing up against me if something comes out. This country is not Dennus, where people long accept the fact that they can do nothing…" He was tired of all this, he was no longer just a gangster, but something more than that.

"I actually thought about the perfect solution to all of our problems." Benjamin said as he looked straight into James' eyes, who noticed that he really had something, he looked confident.

"Yeah? And what is that?" James asked, though he could only think of one thing that might actually work… maybe a total dictatorship or giving him a government position.

"We are going to execute you."

"What…?"
