Amid the traumatic incident the previous day, Marcel woke up feeling happy. He had gotten news last night that Eric was going to agree to the deal and that was enough reason to celebrate. He didn't have to worry about both families going to war, Eric was giving in to his request. With him as a member of the Commission, the other families would support him in this war.
But then everything was not good news because he received a report this early morning that the lawyer handling their resources was found dead. The news left a sour taste on Marcel's tongue knowing that Richardo was responsible for it - the lawyer was killed in a horrid manner with his eyes plucked out.
It was obvious that Richardo held grudges against him for killing Macy and there was no negotiation in this war. Apart from Consiglieres, lawyers were known as mediators and when killed by a rival family, it meant there was no dialogue, no bargaining. It was an all-out war, cold, violent, and death.
