"Very well said, Amine, but isn't that the exciting part of all of it?" He looked at her but in a way that he looked once again excited. "Just think about it, if they're really going to do something, it means we can too. Maybe we can wipe them out, maybe ask them one or two questions and then wipe them out, maybe make an example out of them."

Yeah, that smile on his face was just too recognizable, and Amina, even though she was with Joseph on this topic, she still felt kinda uncomfortable by him the first time, that wide smile on his face almost unhuman, just straight evil… but she knew she needed to ask about it, to keep talking.

"Making examples out of them?" she asked.

"Yeah, maybe put their heads all over the city, maybe hang them from bridges, maybe skin them alive, maybe burn them alive… there are so many different ideas in my head." He said it with a straight face, not even a bit of humanity in him.

The psychopathic side of him, the side that maybe didn't rebuild in the prison but the shattered fragment of it is still somewhere deep within, yeah, he has no morality, but with it comes a talent… maybe?

Well, calling torturing and killing people a talent is not the best thing… or more like it really is a talent in the underworld, not many possess the will and stomach to torture but he… he knows the tricks about it all. At least he knows what his father did to others and his so-called 'butchers' who were everything but sane persons… like one of them even wore a bracelet made of human skin and hair… though from their stories came the lesson, at least what he had overheard in the past.

And the lessons were that publicly displaying bodies of your enemies is one of the best things to do, because it's not just a message to the other criminal but it is a message to the whole city. Yeah, if somebody displays the body of his enemy he does it with an intention to let the world know that he died, that the power is now in the hands of others… that finally he died… and of course there are times when it is used to wage a war.

And for him who fears nothing, wiping out a whole street gang is nothing… no, it's actually something because in either way he would eventually need to do that, to kill them. Yeah, in the near future it will be necessary to clean the street from all these rats, who are selling laced fucking drugs to people… because even if they are nothing, they still take up the market and it needs, and what those laced drugs do is just addict people more, turning them into walking zombies.

But what Joseph himself wants is not that, he does not want to supply the street, the fucking addicts, the zombies… no, his and the mafia buyers are the people in suits up in office buildings, sitting in CEO chairs, those who are in government positions wanting to relax a bit, and snort some cocaine out of a bitch ass like Pablo. Yeah, those are the people he wants to supply, the rich, who pay an enormous amount of money for drugs… but all of it comes after cleaning up and building up the system… that Pablo didn't fucking do for years.

Yeah, what needs to be done is simple, he already started doing it, killing the competition, clearing up all the fucking dealers who are selling shit, and then building up the smuggling routes, the connection and everything can be going.

"So you want to be… attacked?" Amine asked as that was what she understood about what Joseph said.

"More like I want to see how clever they are." He looked at her. "Just think about it, if they wage a war then they are fucking dumb like in the past, but I want to see how things work in the present, I want to see if they have alliances or something, see what their next moves will be."

She still didn't really understand it, like in Amine's mind what Joseph said was the worst thing possible, something that all mafia are hiding from doing… like that's why they are called fucking underworld because they're doing everything in the shadows, and never let themselves be seen, to actually kill in broad daylight or with a clear message that it was actually them… but Joseph is the fucking opposite of it.

Like if he wants to be seen by people, by the whole fucking world, like he wants to carve his name into the present, into the public, like "Hey, I am Cassian and everybody will die," or something like this… and, well, she understands it to some extent. Somebody like him who fears nothing, and acts like a manic psychopath whose only goal is to kill everybody in the underworld and to top them… of course he wants to be seen to some extent because he thinks of himself as nothing.

In his mind, his death will change nothing; his death will touch no one, nor will it cause anything.

His whole being is that: he thinks of himself as no one, and a no one's death will not really matter to anything. That's why he is so raw with everything around him, that's why he kills in public, that's why he doesn't even care about the modern tech, the cameras… because why would he?

Almost like a fucking devil that came from Hell with the only motivation to cause chaos, and then be defeated by something more monstrous or by something righteous which is actually non existent.

There is nothing righteous in the world, at least for those who are involved in the criminal underworld, because you can't be righteous… you will soon be filled with corruption, and it's not a biblical phenomenon but how humans are. The feds, the police, all of them work with corruption to some extent, and not just that, but the best detectives in the city got their information from gangsters, from the mafia, from the underworld and what they gave back was their silence.

In any shape, way, or form… only those who are monsters themselves can stand against Joseph.
