According to Ye Qiu’s understanding of the Mafia, this Mafia organization is a very tightly-knit group, consisting of many families, and each family is an organization in itself.
The Godfather within the Mafia is chosen from the bosses of these family organizations. As for how the selection is done, it depends on how the previous Godfather selects a successor, as well as the successor’s personal abilities.
Additionally, the power of the Law Enforcent Committee is also quite formidable.
The connections between families are established through this Committee.
In Italy, every province with a Mafia presence has a Committee. The Committee can carry out killings within the territory of any family without notifying the family mbers.
When the Committee decides on a killing, it organizes an execution team. The team leader has the authority to select team mbers. Except for the executors, no one else knows about their operations.
Above the Committee is an 11-mber committee called the Committee of Eleven, based in Palermo. It is above all Mafia families and the highest authority within the Mafia. Within the Committee of Eleven, there is a Pope or Godfather, the highest position in the Mafia.
So, Ye Qiu knows that internal stability within a family is crucial, and it serves as the foundation for the family boss. In Helena’s current situation, the actions of the second boss and others in her family already constitute betrayal.
To resolve Helena’s predicant, the internal threats must be addressed first.
"Helena, do you want to stay in the Mafia, or do you want to leave Sicily with ?" Ye Qiu asked, holding her hand.
If Helena wants to leave Sicily, it’s actually quite easy, and no one can stop her.
Ye Qiu could easily take Helena away.
However, Helena’s bloodline carries the genes of the Mafia, and her father and everything are here in Sicily and Italy.
"I want to leave with you," Helena said.
She truly had no interest in this.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken a liking to business.
But Ye Qiu felt that Sicily is the tradition of the Mafia, no matter how the governnt cracks down on the Mafia, this area is always the world of the Mafia.
Even if they went elsewhere, like the United States or other European countries, which also have Mafia organizations ford by Italian descendants with significant influence, compared to here, this place is akin to the headquarters.
If Helena follows Ye Qiu to Huaxia, there would be no need to worry about matters here, but people would surely still cause trouble for her.
Dante and Enzo hastily said, "Young Miss, you can’t just leave; otherwise, the family will be in danger. It’s a matter of life and death for the family now."
Every Mafia family, aside from the trusted confidants of the boss, also has true family mbers, including relatives and kin, all being stakeholders on the sa ship.
If Helena withdraws from the Mattio Family and joins the Amore Family, then her relatives and the confidants still loyal to Helena and her father would surely suffer first.
These people would certainly be eliminated by Amore. Such events have happened too often in the country, after all, Amore cannot allow these people to threaten his interests. Moreover, eliminating these people will allow him to rearrange his confidants and relatives to manage things.
"I just want my father to be safe," Helena said.
Ye Qiu held Helena’s hand even tighter and said, "The family is always your last harbor. Even if you co with to Huaxia, there may still be assassination attempts, like in Paris, but if your family remains, your risk is greatly reduced."
Ye Qiu could see this from last ti.
Those who were so arrogant as to dare attempt an assassination on the Godfather’s daughter clearly did not regard Helena’s father with any significance.
This can be attributed to the decline in the Godfather’s status and Mattio’s weakened control over the Mafia.
"Qiu, what should we do?"
"Helena, just listen to , I will help you resolve everything."
According to Ye Qiu’s plan, he wants to turn Helena into an Empress, a true Empress within the Mafia, far exceeding her father as the Godfather.
"Qiu, I will listen to you," Helena said.
"Dante, I need you to contact the loyal mbers of the Mattio Family, including commanders and soldiers. Enzo, investigate Amore’s treacherous acts against the family."
Ye Qiu must first address the family’s internal threats. Otherwise, Helena can’t wield any significant power; truly gaining control of the Mattio Family will allow Ye Qiu to employ these people effectively.
Without people, money, or family support, things are extrely difficult here due to Mattio’s declining prestige.
And Helena’s prestige within the Mafia is even lower!
"Dr. Ye, is there anything else?"
"Settle the family conflicts as soon as possible before taking the next step. I will quickly get Helena out of this dark underground chamber."
"Dr. Ye, I understand."
Dante and Enzo are not just Helena’s bodyguards but were also the loyal confidant soldiers of Mattio, so Ye Qiu trusts these two.
If these two were to betray Helena and Mattio, then Ye Qiu knows there’s nothing more he can do here.
After they left, only Ye Qiu, Helena, and her young maid Sophia remained.
"Helena, do you have anyone else to rely on?"
"Do you an those bodyguards? Last ti, in Paris, several bodyguards and loyal soldiers died. Currently, in Sicily, there are still quite a few within the family, but they are unaware of the situation."
This managent model is like stratified managent, where the lower level only knows the instructions of the upper level without understanding further intentions of the higher-ups.
This is quite similar to dostic ancient military systems, where soldiers below only know the orders of their higher-ranking officers. If a commanding officer were to betray the organization, the soldiers could only follow, as they have no other options.
Ye Qiu believes this organizational managent model is sowhat outdated and in situations like this, Helena has no way to make changes.
"Let Dante and Enzo find things out first. No rcy must be shown to Amore, who double-deals."
The weather outside is beautiful, yet Ye Qiu can’t take Helena out to enjoy it, which intensifies his hatred towards these traitors like Amore.
"Helena, trust , I will make you the Empress within the Mafia."
