Chapter 221: The Real TraitorThe strategy room felt suffocating.No one moved.No one spoke.Everyone stared at the tablet screen in Alessandra’s hands.The new transmission log blinked slowly.One name.One device.One possible traitor.Aria felt her heartbeat quicken.“Say it,” she said quietly.Alessandra hesitated.Then she looked up at Valentino.“The signal came from Luca’s device.”The words landed like a bomb.Marco immediately shook his head.“That’s impossible.”Aria’s eyes widened.“Luca?”Valentino didn’t react right away.He simply stared at the screen.His closest friend.His right hand.The man who had taken a bullet hours earlier.Marco ran a hand through his hair.“No. No way.”Aria looked toward Valentino.“He was in surgery.”Valentino’s voice was low.“Yes.”Alessandra nodded slowly.“The signal was sent three minutes ago.”Aria frowned.“But Luca is still in the medical wing.”Marco crossed his arms.“Then someone used his device too.”Valentino finally spoke.“B

Chapter 223: Luca Returns to the FightThe Romano estate had become a war zone.Gunfire echoed through the courtyard, lighting up the night in bursts of violence.Smoke drifted through the air from shattered stone and exploded grenades.At the center of the battlefield, Valentino and Viktor Sokolov stood facing each other.Two men bound by old blood.But before either of them could move, another voice suddenly broke the tension.“Well… this looks like a party.”Everyone turned.Luca stepped out from the mansion entrance.Still wearing the hospital bandage wrapped around his shoulder.Still pale from blood loss.But holding a rifle like he had never been injured.Marco blinked in disbelief.“Luca?!”Luca gave him a tired grin.“Miss me?”Aria rushed toward him.“You’re supposed to be in bed!”Luca shrugged carefully.“I was.”He glanced around at the battlefield.“Then I heard the fireworks.”Valentino looked at him with clear annoyance.“You shouldn’t be standing.”Luca lifted the rif

Chapter 225: The Man Behind the WarThe courtyard was filled with smoke, broken stone, and the smell of gunpowder.The battle slowed.Not because the war was over.But because something more important had just happened.Adrian Moretti had stepped onto the battlefield.The door of the black SUV closed quietly behind him.Adrian adjusted the cuffs of his suit as if he had just arrived at a business meeting rather than a war zone.His shoes stepped calmly across the stone courtyard.Around him, armed men stood ready.But Adrian himself carried no visible weapon.He didn’t need one.Valentino watched him approach.His jaw tightened slightly.“So you finally came out of hiding.”Adrian smiled faintly.“Please.”His voice was smooth and controlled.“I was never hiding.”He glanced around the damaged estate.“I was observing.”Behind Valentino, Marco muttered under his breath.“I hate this guy already.”Luca, still holding his injured shoulder, smirked slightly.“You’re late to that party.”

Chapter 227 : Vault Secrets RevealedThe vault door groaned shut behind them, echoing through the stone corridors like a warning.Valentino, Luca, Marco, and Aria stood over the scattered drives, documents, and encrypted folders Alessio had tried to steal.The weight of betrayal was still heavy in the air.Valentino picked up the first drive and examined it carefully.“These were his master keys,” he muttered.Alessio had been planning this for months. Not just the attack outside, but the internal breach. He had all the codes, all the accounts, and all the access points.“This could collapse the empire overnight,” Luca said quietly.Valentino didn’t answer immediately. He flipped through the papers—financial reports, secret contracts, offshore accounts.Aria’s hands trembled as she held one of the documents.“This… this is all real?”Valentino’s jaw clenched.“All of it. Alessio wasn’t just greedy. He was thorough. Every weakness, every hidden deal… he documented it.”Marco stepped cl

Chapter 229: The Battle EscalatesThe Romano estate was in flames.Smoke curled into the night sky, carrying the smell of burning stone and gunpowder.Valentino ran through the corridors, his pistol drawn, eyes scanning every shadow.Every corner of his home—his empire—was under attack.Outside, the courtyard had turned into a war zone.Viktor’s mercenaries regrouped after their earlier defeat, Adrian’s new reinforcements moving with calculated precision.The estate guards were struggling to hold them back.Marco ducked behind a marble pillar, firing rapidly at an approaching squad.“Boss! They’re breaking through the west wall!”Valentino’s jaw clenched.“Then we go west,” he growled, moving with Aria and Luca at his side.The west wing was worse than he expected.Doors had been torn from their hinges, windows shattered.The halls echoed with gunfire, shouting, and the occasional explosion.Adrian’s forces were moving fast, precise. This wasn’t a random attack—it was surgical.Luca s
