Yet beneath that unreadable calm, strategies were already taking shape.

If the Bratva had managed to gather that much intelligence, then there were weaknesses somewhere within his own network.

And if those weaknesses existed once...

They could exist again.

Francesco continued listening without saying a single word, allowing Boris to speak while quietly constructing his own countermeasures long before the conversation had even reached its conclusion.

Boris remained kneeling, his head lowered in

    Unlike the journalists surrounding him however, his attention remained fixed solely upon one individual. “Commander Alejandro Vargas.” A faint smile gradually appeared beneath the edge of his medical mask as he admired the commander, this was not because Vargas had solved part of the mystery. Anyone sufficiently intelligent might eventually have reached that conclusion, so no...what impressed him was something entirely different. Speed. Most investigators would spend days and perhaps weeks, some might even waste months before realizing the explosion had originated beneath the museum… but this man, Alejandro Vargas...Had uncovered that truth in less than ten minutes. “Interesting this is very interesting, now you have picked my interest beyond what I definitely expected of you.” The stranger said as he quietly reached beneath his hood before slipping a miniature communication earpiece into his right ear. Almost immediately, a calm electronic voice sounded. [Awaiting report.]

    Without looking away from the stone, he raised his voice "Forensics!!!!!" He called out loud, iImmediately three investigators hurried toward him."Commander sir" They answered as they stopped beside him, awaiting instructions and without delays he defined their duties in no time."I need samples taken from this section."Vargas said to them as he pointed toward the exposed fracture line, one of the forensic specialists frowned… as he leaned closer before speaking."Commander...It is only concrete." His tone remained respectful as he glanced briefly toward the damaged surface “there doesn't appear to be any—" the specialist once again tried to explain himself, but.."No." Vargas interrupted him before he could finish, even though his voice remained calm, but yet it left no room for argument… he gently tapped the fractured marble with one finger “look closely at this, this concrete fractured upward."The three investigators stared blankly but none of them spoke, and for several moment

    Inspector Ruiz understood that truth immediately as his throat tightened, he drew one careful breath before beginning."The emergency call reached dispatch at exactly 06:17 this morning sir." His words came rapidly but clearly "and so, our unit arrived approximately seven minutes later."He continued without hesitation “by the time we reached the museum, the eastern wing had already collapsed completely the fire had spread throughout the central exhibition gallery."He mentally reviewed every detail before continuing."Our first priority became civilian evacuation and based on that, we made sure that we cleared everyone remaining within approximately twenty miles of the immediate danger zone, also additional emergency services and firefighting units were requested immediately."Ruiz paused only briefly to catch his breath while making sure to remember the event clearly "also sir, there were multiple witness statements we were able to compile”His eyes remained fixed forward."Several

    He had become invisible by appearing entirely ordinary.Unlike everyone else surrounding him, however, his attention was not fixed upon the ruined museum.He ignored the smoking debris.Ignored the flashing emergency lights.Ignored the anxious reporters broadcasting live updates.Ignored the officers directing security operations.His gaze remained locked upon only one individual.Commander Alejandro Vargas.Every movement made by the commander received his complete attention.From the moment the convoy had arrived...To the tactical officers securing the perimeter...To Vargas stepping from the central vehicle...And now...Watching him disappear deeper into the investigation itself.The stranger observed everything.Without changing his expression, he casually slipped one hand into his jacket pocket.The movement appeared completely natural.Anyone watching might have assumed he was reaching for a notebook like many journalists standing nearby.Instead...He withdrew a plain black

    Alejandro absorbed the information without visible reaction "And survivors?"The question followed immediately, hearing that, he still had not turned around.The lieutenant answered without delay."No survivors, sir."Silence returned.A cool breeze drifted through the collapsed remains of the museum.Alejandro slowly lifted his eyes toward the broken skyline where the upper sections of the structure had once proudly stood.For several seconds he studied the destruction without saying anything.Then another question came."What about the security recordings?"His tone remained perfectly composed."The CCTV footage."A brief pause."And every other surveillance source."The lieutenant's expression changed immediately.The confidence with which he had delivered his previous reports disappeared.His face became noticeably darker.He swallowed quietly before answering."Gone, sir."Another uncomfortable silence followed."Every recording."He lowered his eyes."The museum's internal surve

    The engines gradually fell silent.An uneasy stillness spread across the disaster site.The atmosphere changed almost instantly.Even the wind seemed quieter.A young police officer standing near one of the barricades stared at the convoy with wide eyes.His breathing became noticeably slower.He turned uncertainly toward the veteran officer standing beside him."Is..."The words nearly caught inside his throat."...is that him?"The older officer never took his eyes off the black vehicles.Years of experience had taught him exactly what such convoys usually meant.Without speaking immediately, he gave the slightest nod.His expression grew noticeably more serious."Yes."His answer came quietly."I believe it is.”"Stand straight."The senior officer's command cut sharply through the tense silence surrounding the museum. His voice carried the unquestionable authority of a man who had spent decades enforcing discipline, and it immediately caught the attention of every officer standing

    Rejecting them is not merely dangerous, it is suicidal and no one thinks such idea is the best.“Well I guess you are right my love, Azzura truly is my only daughter and the best I can do is preserve our dignity rather than look like a fool to them….so yes I respect your decision my love” Mr. Tomma

    “The suffocating aura he carried around himself wherever he goes feels like darkness itself followed him everywhere…now that I think about it, the way people instantly lowered their heads whenever he walked into a room make me want to puke right here and now, like what nonsense is all that for” Azz

    “What, how can you say such father you didn't even ask for my consent?” Azzura the only child of Mr. Tommaso and Mrs Gaia of the Sil clan, a small and almost seen to be weak clan screamed out at her father after hearing the news of her already planned marriage with her betrothed Francisco of the Nd
