Every Mafia's Favorite Girl novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: "This Isn’t Fair"

"AAAAARGH!"

The belt struck directly across Nazario’s already injured body.

Pain tore through him.

Before he could recover, Eduardo raised it again.

SNAP!

"Argh!"

"You wicked bastard!"

Another blow.

SNAP!

"How dare you pull something like this during the Trials?"

Another strike.

SNAP!

"Did I teach you to resort to dirty tricks instead of relying on your own ability?! You couldn’t even win on your own?!"

The warehouse fell into stunned silence.

No one dared interrupt.

Several spectators had to turn their faces away, unable to watch as the Marchetti Don punished his already battered son without mercy.

Yet, no one was particularly surprised by the severity of Eduardo’s anger. They had seen him punish his other children before whenever they committed an offense severe enough to drive him into such a furious state.

But Nazario...

This was the first time anyone had ever seen the Don punish his second son with such brutality.

On the canvas, Nazario could do little more than cry out and beg.

"Father! Please!"

"Stop!"

"I know I made a mistake!"

The whipping did not stop.

If anything, Eduardo’s fury seemed to intensify with every desperate plea.

The leather cracked against Nazario’s body again and again. Pain radiated through every part of his battered body, while humiliation burned even hotter than the wounds themselves.

’No... This is happening in front of everyone.’

’Everyone is watching me.’

’I can’t take this anymore.’

Desperate to escape the suffering, Nazario finally broke.

"Father! This isn’t fair!"

The belt paused in midair.

"It wasn’t just me!" Nazario shouted, his voice cracking. "It was never my idea to begin with!"

Eduardo finally came to a complete halt, the belt suspended in his hand.

"What the hell are you talking about now?"

Nazario immediately seized the opportunity. His eyes darted toward the spectators before finally settling on Natalia Porto.

She stood among her House’s men, her face entirely composed.

For one brief moment, their eyes met.

Nazario saw the warning in hers.

He ignored it.

If he was going down, he was determined to drag Natalia down with him.

"It was all her plan!" His finger shot toward her. "She dragged me into this! I’d always planned to take Jordan down with my own ability, Father! But that woman came up with the vicious plan and invited me into it!"

Naturally, every eye in the warehouse turned toward Natalia.

For a moment, it felt as though the entire world had stopped breathing.

Nazario, however, had no intention of wasting the opportunity. With everyone’s attention now fixed on Natalia instead of him, he desperately seized the opening and pushed the accusation even further.

"Natalia Porto even planted a sniper at the end of the first course to shoot the Lombardi heiress dead!" he shouted. "She even bribed those eight idiots in the maze to kill that woman after the sniper failed!"

The additional accusation sent another wave of shock through the warehouse.

Murmurs erupted almost instantly.

"God... is that true?"

"That’s fucking insane."

"It could be. I heard a sniper was captured yesterday."

Among everyone present, Gian Lombardi was naturally one of the most enraged.

He stepped forward, his expression darkening as his voice rang through the warehouse with unmistakable authority.

"Don Eduardo. Don Giovanni."

Gian’s gaze swept between the two men.

"What is this madness that young man is spouting? Is he suggesting that these two planned to kill my daughter inside a competition hosted by your House?"

Beside him, Caio looked equally furious, though his anger was colder and far more controlled.

He also stepped forward, his voice dropping into a dangerous calm.

"House Sartori demands a proper explanation from both Houses. Now. Otherwise, we will not leave this place peacefully."

Giovanni was instantly incensed at the accusation against his daughter.

"Nazario!" he snarled toward the ring, all traces of his usual joviality gone. "What nonsense are you talking about? What does any of this have to do with my Natalia? Don’t be ridiculous!"

’Fucking weakling, Nazario.’

’You couldn’t even keep your mouth shut.’

’Very well.’

’Then I’ll destroy you here, once and for all.’

’You’re nothing more than a useless pawn, you clueless little boy.’
