Chapter 6

Penulis: Draco Solvere
Without warning, the massive floor-to-ceiling windows exploded inward.

Glass rained down like a storm. Smoke grenades rolled across the floor, and thick white clouds erupted instantly.

Several black figures descended through the shattered windows on rappel lines. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, muscle memory forged through relentless training.

They weren’t wearing the family’s black suits but full tactical gear. Ballistic vests marked with the faint outline of a black hawk, flick

  • Fall of the Underboss   Chapter 10

    The conference room was thick with smoke.Along both sides of the long table sat the surviving elders of the Moretti family, dressed in outdated suits, faces carved with the marks of age and violence.I sat at the head, fingers tapping lightly on the table.“Effective immediately, all drug operations are to cease.”The room erupted.“Madam, that’s the family’s largest revenue stream!”“What are we supposed to feed our men without it?”“Don Moretti never once said we should give up this cash cow!”I didn’t speak. I just watched them.My assistant tossed a stack of files onto the table. The slap of paper cut through the noise, and silence fell.“These are the accounts for the past three years.” I opened the first page. “Vito, the line you manage shows three million euros in profit, yet only 1.2 million actually made it in. Where’s the rest?”Vito’s face drained of color.“And you, Francisco.” I looked at the beefy middle-aged man. “The nightclub your son opened in Milan, re

    Lorenzo drank that cup of water.But that was the only one.For the next two days, he clutched Sophia’s slowly rotting corpse. A raging fever set in, and he began to babble.He rolled in the filthy water, muttering my name over and over.“Elena… tie is crooked…“Elena, you’ll forgive me, right?”People were always like this. When they had something, they treated it like trash. Only after losing it did they start digging through garbage for memories.Pathetic.…When I appeared outside the dungeon again, I was wearing the white custom-made suit he loved most and the first pearl necklace he’d given me.The sound of my heels striking the floor jolted Lorenzo awake.With his one remaining eye, he recognized me and crawled toward the bars on hands and knees. His withered fingers clutched the iron.“Elena! Elena, is that you?”His face was smeared with blood and sludge. He smiled, obsequious and twisted.“I knew you wouldn’t let me die… I know I was wrong, really. I already too

    The deepest dungeon of the Moretti family estate was not only damp, but it also reeked of dead rats.The water level crept past the ankles, icy to the bone.Lorenzo was curled up in a corner. His expensive custom suit had long since turned into rags, hanging off him like a joke on a clown.Sophia lay beside him.The once-arrogant mistress now had only her left hand, her other limbs useless.Her wounds were crudely wrapped with a few loops of bandage. Blood seeped through, clouding the filthy water even further.“Hang on a little longer, my love.”Lorenzo held Sophia tightly against his chest, using his body heat to warm her trembling frame. “I’ll find a way out. That woman wouldn’t really dare to kill me.”“Lorenzo…” Sophia had woken from her stupor. Her one functional hand clutched his collar desperately. “It hurts… I shouldn’t have come back…”“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”Lorenzo kissed her mud-smeared forehead, his eyes filled with pain and tenderness.Anyone who didn’t k

    At the interrogation room of the Moretti family estate.Lorenzo and Sophia were bound to two rusted iron chairs.Sophia’s wrists and thighs had been roughly bandaged to stop the bleeding, but the pain and blood loss had already knocked her unconscious.As for Lorenzo, his hair was a mess, and his expensive custom-made suit was smeared with mud and grime.When he saw me walk in, it was as if he’d spotted a lifeline.“Elena! Elena!”He struggled wildly, the chains clanking loudly. “I know I was wrong! We were together for five years. Don’t you remember all the anniversaries, the gifts… I love you!”I pulled over a chair and sat down. Behind me stood the family accountant, holding a tablet.“Love me?” I let out a soft laugh. “Did you love me or my money and the status I gave you?”“No! I really—”I raised a finger and gently shook it. “No rush to confess. Watch this first.”I waved my hand. The accountant turned the tablet toward Lorenzo.On the screen was surveillance footage

    Without warning, the massive floor-to-ceiling windows exploded inward.Glass rained down like a storm. Smoke grenades rolled across the floor, and thick white clouds erupted instantly.Several black figures descended through the shattered windows on rappel lines. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, muscle memory forged through relentless training.They weren’t wearing the family’s black suits but full tactical gear. Ballistic vests marked with the faint outline of a black hawk, flickering in the smoke.It was the Bernardi family’s Blackhawk Guard.This wasn’t a gang fight. This was an elite military unit crushing street thugs with overwhelming force.“Drop your weapons! Hands on your head!”The mercenaries Lorenzo had paid a fortune for didn’t last three seconds. A few who tried to resist had their jaws smashed in with rifle stocks. The rest dropped to their knees without hesitation.The banquet hall changed hands in an instant.I pushed away the corpse slumped agains

    “I’ve had enough!”The roar snapped through the room, cutting off my thoughts.Lorenzo straightened violently, a wineglass clenched in his hand. He hurled it to the floor.“Crash!”Glass exploded across the marble.That sound was a signal.The family guards stationed by the doors drew their guns not toward any outside threat, but toward the elders seated along the table.“Lorenzo! What are you doing?!” the consigliere screamed in terror.“Rat-tat-tat—”The burst from a submachine gun swallowed his voice whole. Blood erupted from the consigliere’s chest as he toppled backward, chair and body crashing to the floor.Screams, gunfire, and shattering porcelain filled the room. In an instant, the banquet hall turned into a slaughterhouse.“Stop it! Lorenzo! Have you lost your mind?!” Don Moretti rose unsteadily, pointing at him, his hand shaking violently.Lorenzo stepped over the bodies and stopped in front of Don Moretti.All traces of humility were gone. What remained was the
