The Stray They Cast Out Five Years Ago Has Come Back Chapter 10
At last, Marco and I were alone in the wrecked slaughterhouse.Marco stood in the middle of the mess with his back to me, his shoulders shaking."Chiara, who are you, really? What have you been through these past five years?"I walked over and stood in front of him.He looked at me with empty, dazed eyes."Five years ago you vanished. I searched everywhere I could think of, and I couldn't find you."Everyone said you betrayed the family and ran. I didn't believe it... but I really couldn't find you."I put my hands on his shoulders and said in a low voice, "It's a long story. But I'm back, Marco. I came home to take back everything that's ours."After I left, I meant to find work in Mexico. Instead, a group of men kidnapped me at the port."The man behind my abduction was the former head of the Raven Group, a reclusive old man with no heirs and little time left."He put countless young people like me—people with nothing but ambition—through brutal tests. I was the only one who survived

Isabella lay on the floor, her lower leg bent at an unnatural angle, blood pouring from the wound.She looked up at me, her lips trembling."I...""She doesn't need to grovel."I pushed the tablet toward Vito."Just sign. Groveling is worthless."With shaking hands, Vito signed every document.Lupo took the tablet and sent the documents through Raven's global legal network for electronic notarization."Complete. The transfer of all Leoni family assets is now underway."Vito dragged Isabella toward the door like a dead dog.At the door, Isabella twisted around and screamed at me, her voice full of venom."Don't gloat! An outsider doesn't get the final say in Black City. Someone will deal with you!"Vito smacked the back of her head and hauled her out.My uncle and aunt were still slumped in the corner.The moment Vito and Isabella were gone, ingratiating smiles spread across their faces."Oh, my darling niece, I always knew you were something special!"I was just putting on an act back

The thugs stormed through the door, shouting obscenities, murder in their eyes.I glanced at Lupo.Lupo nodded and spoke into his collar mic. "Clear the room."The ventilation ducts overhead burst open.Dozens of ropes dropped, and a squad of heavily armed mercenaries in tactical masks rappelled down as if they'd appeared out of nowhere.Hidden doors around the building were kicked open at the same moment, and tactical floodlights made the place as bright as day.Before the thugs could react, red laser sights settled on their foreheads.Their leader had barely raised his machete when a mercenary kicked out his knee. His scream filled the building.It was a complete rout.In under ten seconds, dozens of hardened thugs were pinned in the mud, moaning and unable to fight back.My aunt had crawled under an abandoned truck, her arms over her head, hardly daring to breathe.My uncle went pale. His eyes rolled back, and he slid down the wall in a dead faint.Isabella stood frozen, her legs sh

"We've brought every underworld faction in Black City under our control. The Butcher you mentioned has voluntarily retired."We now have effective control of every Leoni asset."He paused, then looked up at me with fervor in his eyes."Sign this authorization, and within the hour the Leoni family will vanish from the face of the earth."I looked up at Isabella with a cold smile. Her face had lost every trace of color.Lupo's arrival and the news he brought plunged the slaughterhouse into silence.Marco covered his mouth and stared at me in disbelief.My aunt and uncle collapsed to their knees in the blood.Isabella's lackeys stood stunned. They backed away, knocking over the junk behind them.She sprang up and grabbed Lupo by the collar of his coat."What movie set did you crawl out of, you fucking extra? Nice acting!"And you dare try to bluff the Leoni family on our own turf!"Don't think I won't make one phone call and put every one of you at the bottom of the Hudson!"Expressionles

The hope that had just flared in Marco's eyes died again, and he sagged against me.My eyes went cold. I said nothing. I just looked down and sent another message."Since they prefer to settle things with bullets."Buy the entire Black City underworld."Isabella didn't notice what I was doing.She thought she had won again, and strolled over to me."Chiara, you came up with thirty million. I'll admit you've got something."Too bad. In Black City, money alone doesn't cut it. You have to live long enough to spend it."Triumphant, she picked the agreement up off the floor and flung it in Marco's face."Marco, this is your last chance."Sign this, sell yourself to me, and I'll clean up the Franco family's mess. And you'll be mine."Otherwise, one call from me and you're both dead in the street."My uncle grabbed a pen and forced it into Marco's hand."Marco, what good is her money now? It's all come to nothing. She's still useless!"My aunt clutched his hand, weeping."Marco, I'm begging y

Isabella stood holding the phone, her smile frozen."Dad, what did you say?"Vito's voice was shaking."Every one of our docks has been seized. Every shipping partner we have has unilaterally cut us off, all at the same moment!"Our territory is in chaos! If you haven't caused some catastrophe out there, what else could it be?"Isabella glanced around the room and tried to steady her shaking hands. "Dad, I didn't provoke anyone. I'm just at the old Franco slaughterhouse, teaching that bitch a lesson.""Which bitch?"Isabella pressed a hand to her chest and tried to steady her breathing."The jinx the Franco family threw out."Vito exploded."Jinx? You idiot! Get back here right now!"When the call ended, everyone looked at Isabella, unsure what to think.Antonelli hurried over and murmured, "Don't panic, Ms. Leoni. The Leoni family has deep roots here. One setback won't bring it down."This has to be a business rival making a move. That broke girl couldn't possibly have done this."It
