THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
So this chapter was set up in Sicily and Benkei was hired to forge all the paintings of Mr. Troia. So this man, wants to die peacefully and set all his prized and illegal paintings on fire and take them to his grave to prevent conflicts within the organization.

A minor detail, the aforementioned "la cosa nostra" actually is a word used in the Sicilian mafia.
Here is the definition I found:
Wikipedia said:
Mafiosi introduce known members to each other as belonging to cosa nostra ("our thing") or la stessa cosa ("the same thing"), meaning "he is the same thing as you — a Mafioso." The Sicilian Mafia has used other names to describe itself throughout its history, such as "The Honoured Society".

Also both the paintings in the above and his favourite painting are same. Even if Mr. Troia was a gang leader he was a human at birth and his horrible living conditions made him what he is now. At least, he was a not a bad man at heart for he loved his mother and tried to erase himself completely leaving no trace of his fortune.

Plus, we got to learn Benkei doesn't use a gun.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.
