The Expensive Truth Shouldn't Be Known

4

Herold Helortios, the Don of the Helortios Mafia, a 59-year-old man living in Venezuela at Chirimena, Miranda. He owns a property on Nye Mountain that costs him $400,000. Of course, illegal things happen here, as usual. Mostly it was built for making illegal drugs and illegal guns that they provide in different countries. Herold has connections in the police department that made him very free to move around different countries, like the USA, Venezuela, Germany etc. and yes, some of his men have been arrested because of delivering illegal drugs and guns. Although the men that were arrested gave their loyalty to Herold Helortios, and no one mentioned his name, he's the one who owns everything and has it sold in different countries.

Due to their loyalty, no one can pin some criminal acts to Herold Helortios, since he is not the only mafia in the country and arrests cannot be made without evidence, although most people know who is processing them. The Helortios Mafia is in the top 6 for having the most numbers of associates and soldiers. The underboss was his daughter, Rassia Helortios. Although he didn't approve that Rassia would be the one who would own the Helortios Mafia one day, since he wanted to let her have her own freedom, but since Rassia volunteered, he gave her the chance. If she changes her mind, it would be fine for him.

His right hand, which retired to start a new life, was Daniel Garlod. No news came from him since he changed his name to a fake one and ran to a different country, although he didn't know where. He promised not to track him down. He hoped that Daniel was in a great life and great condition, but of course, he missed how they were working together as well as how they started the mafia. He should've been the one who owned the mafia, not me. He thought.

Harold sat down in his chair at the dining table and was eating Pabellon Criollo, a traditional food in Venezuela that was cooked by his favorite chef, Kris Belto. Pabellon Criollo represents the union of the Europeans, Africans and Indigenous, who all met in Venezuela after Columbus arrived in the Americas.

"Don Helortios, your daughter called just a while ago when you were sleeping," Jon Hervio, a caporegime said.

Herold wiped his mouth with a napkin before speaking, "I guess she would love to report about her first plan being successful. So how's the sale going?"

"It's going very well. In fact, the mafia in the USA needs our gun supply, which I added a 3 percentage to the payment that will occur."

Herold nodded pleasingly. "Did they argue about the percentage?"

"No, Don Helortios. They actually agreed very quickly and explained that our guns have the best quality."

"That was a lie, but I won't mind."

Someone knocked on the door and Herold let him enter.

It was Jacques Lambert, his consigliere. He informed Herold that the meeting would be at 10:30AM and Herold thanked him for the information. It was a meeting for Caporegimes and other Mafia leaders who were associated with him and the Helortios Mafia.

...

As expected, the sunlight in the storage room on the 4th floor was not entering. Some of Jhasper's officemates keep complaining about how the storage room is small, and how sunlight was not entering the room. There is a window, but it was covered by another building.

"No sunlight, no beautiful view, no freedom in your own space. Damn the fire."

Right, damn the fire. Jhasper thought.

"Seems like everybody is affected by the fire," Rassia said.

She was beside him, she was looking at what Jhasper was doing for 20 minutes... "Why do you keep looking at my work?"

"Well, some people say that you were given promotions yet you didn't accept them."

"It's true, though I don't want to."

She raised her left eyebrow, "Eeh, why though?"

"I don't want to shout at my teammates and lose my strength because of stress. Aye?" He grinned.

She laughed. People in the office heard her laugh and looked right at her for a few minutes. "You could've earned more money though."

"Nah, I don't want money."

"You sure? Your future wife will be throwing a glass cup for not accepting the promotions"

"You will throw me a glass cup for that?"

She paused and said "Why? Do you want me to be your future wife?"

"Nope, males here in the office want you." Jhasper's phone rang and he picked it up. After a short talking, he stood and fixed his things.

"So? Who called?"

"Sherlock Holmes." He grinned

"Who is even that?" she crossed her arms.

"The CEO said that I needed to fix his computer."

"You fix computers? Are you a technician?"

"I got a Computer Technician Course program from when I was 17 till 19-years-old, then changed my course to software engineering and just stopped going to college when I was 23-year-old." Jhasper explained.

"So how old are you now?" Rassia asked, full of curiosity.

"25"

Rassia was shocked at his age as Jhasper walked away and went to the CEO's office. Rassia was 28 and now she was embarrassed about her flirting with Jhasper.

Jhasper entered the office of the CEO and Leo showed him something.

"So you've actually pinned it down?" Jhasper asked with disbelief.

"Of course I did, I'm Sherlock." Leo grinned while Jhasper chuckled. "This is unbelievable. It was not Lorenze, it was this man aye?"

Jhasper clapped and they both smiled .Leo spoke first "He's a devious bastard, I never expected it was him. He was hating you for no reason," Leo said.

"And was giving you too much kindness, he's a bastard."

Both of them were planning something and the Chairman entered the office. "Seems like both of you found something."

"Yeah, someone is playing on our cards." Jhasper grinned.

Leo stood up and spoke "Well, we have found that one of the shareholders in our company is associated with Ponia,"

The Chairman didn't hide his angry face. "I knew one of the shareholders but I don't know who he is."

"Well, surprise, a gift from me to you." Jhasper chuckled.

"Stop teasing and let me hear the name." The Chairman claimed.

As the Chairman heard the name, he was surprised but knew that the man who had a connection to Ponia was suspicious as he entered the company.
