CHAPTER 191

The words were directed at Sergie, though Francesco never took his eyes off the room ahead. He hadn't even noticed the silent contest unfolding between the frightened guide and the suspicious lion.Several more moments passed.No one spoke.The atmosphere grew heavier with every passing second.Then Francesco quietly said,“Get ready.”Sergie immediately straightened.“We'll move very soon.”He nodded without asking another question.Francesco continued studying the gathering inside.The discussion had become increasingly heated.Voices rose.Hands struck the table.Several of the men appeared more interested in arguing among themselves than paying attention to the possibility of an intruder nearby.Francesco found the situation almost unbelievable.These men know I'm somewhere inside this compound, he thought.Yet instead of preparing, they're wasting precious time arguing.A faint smile crossed his face.Do they truly underestimate me... or have they convinced themselves I won't mak

CHAPTER 192

“We continue holding until the boss gives the extraction signal.”His answer was immediate and absolute.“Is that understood?”Several acknowledgements answered him.Then the communication channel filled once again with overlapping reports.“Movement on the eastern approach.”“Cover the left corridor.”“Maintain spacing.”“Watch the rooftop.”“Oscar Team, confirm your position.”“Delta Team, tighten the line.”Each order was delivered with precision.Every unit adjusted without hesitation.The operation had become less about overpowering an opponent and more about discipline under pressure.Diego admired that quality in his men.No one panicked.No one abandoned his assignment.They trusted the plan.Even as the situation became increasingly complicated.The opposing force continued exploiting every feature of the compound. Hidden routes allowed them to reposition quickly while obstacles prevented Diego's teams from building sustained momentum.It became a battle of patience.Whoever

CHAPTER 193

His command echoed across the battlefield."Move out the convoy this instant! We are heading out!"Outside the compound, powerful engines roared to life.Heavy armored SUVs accelerated into carefully rehearsed positions, forming an impenetrable defensive convoy around the extraction route. Drivers synchronized every movement while security teams established overlapping fields of fire.Everything happened with military precision."Move! Move! Move!" Diego shouted repeatedly as his men continued suppressing every remaining threat.The convoy began rolling forward.Dust and smoke rose behind spinning tires as the vehicles accelerated toward the exit.The surviving members of the Black Mercenaries immediately realized what was happening.Their mission was slipping away.If Francesco escaped with the captured boss, everything they had sacrificed would become meaningless.One blood-covered captain staggered onto the battlefield, refusing to surrender despite the devastation surrounding him.

CHAPTER 194

Even men who had fought beside Francesco for years found themselves speechless and none of them had expected another explosion.None of them had realized that the museum itself had become one enormous bomb.Diego slowly turned toward Francesco, disbelief written across his face."Sir... you..."He could not even finish the question as Francesco smiled without looking at him."Yes, I did, Diego."His calm voice filled the armored cabin."There is no need to ask."He folded his arms comfortably before continuing."I planned everything."His expression remained frighteningly relaxed."I cleaned the whole evidence... should the law authorities decide to investigate what happened."Silence immediately followed as every man inside the vehicle understood exactly what he meant.The battle had been impossible to hide, thousands of rounds had been fired, explosives had reduced dozens of men to pieces.Military-grade weapons had been used openly.The authorities would undoubtedly surround the mu

CHAPTER 195

Moments later, both of them had been brutally cut down before her eyes, not like respected leaders…not like human beings but like animals led to slaughter.The memory shattered whatever strength remained inside her as fresh tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks."I'm... I'm so sorry, Mother." Her voice trembled so violently she could barely recognize it "I'm so sorry, Father."She lowered her head, gripping her own hands until her fingers turned white. "I couldn't save either of you…” every word felt heavier than the last. "I watched you both die..."Her breathing became uneven. "And I... I did nothing” this time, the guilt crushed her heart with unbearable force."I swear on my life..."She slowly lifted her tear-filled eyes toward the dark sky stretching endlessly above the abandoned road."I swear by the deaths of my parents..."Her voice gradually hardened despite the tears."I will never stop” each word she spoke carried more conviction. "I will hunt every single person invo

CHAPTER 196

No one interrupted the silence that had settled between them.Finally, Alendria bent down and carefully placed a canned meal beside her, along with a small bottle of table water."I will always be here to listen whenever you are willing to tell me how you truly feel," he said quietly. His voice carried no pity, only sincerity. "You don't have to carry every burden by yourself."He paused before giving her a reassuring nod."And... please don't forget to eat something. Your body needs strength just as much as your heart."Without waiting for a response, he slowly turned and walked away.He understood that some wounds could not be healed with words. Sometimes, the greatest kindness was simply giving someone the space to breathe.Azzura watched him disappear toward the campfire without saying anything.For a long time, she stared at the untouched meal resting beside her. Her appetite had disappeared hours ago, buried beneath grief and guilt, yet Alendria's words lingered in her mind.Mea

CHAPTER 197

His answer was calm, but Azzura narrowed her eyes slightly because she wasn't satisfied….. from the looks of things, she could tell that Alendria was hiding years of pain behind those simple words.He had forgiven her far too easily, which meant he understood suffering far more deeply than he allowed anyone to see, she leaned forward slightly."There is something I want to know." Azzura said, the other men quietly listened without interrupting as Azzura's eyes never left Alendria."You said my mother was the only family you had."She paused."Please..."Her voice carried genuine curiosity now."Tell me your story."The crackling fire suddenly became the only sound in the camp, Alendria lowered his eyes toward the dancing flames and one can say that for the first time that night...The fearless warrior hesitated because the memory long buried behind years of loyalty slowly resurfaced in his mind.Then, after a long silence, he quietly exhaled."...Very well."He lifted his eyes from the

CHAPTER 198

"So i turned, all I saw were the squashed body of my parent” Alendria continued his story as silence completely consumed the camp."What I saw that night, even till this day, it..still visits me every night.".His eyes slowly closed."The front of the vehicle had been crushed beyond recognition.""My parents....were no longer..." Alendria struggled to finish that sentence "...recognizable."His breathing became heavier."Their bodies had already begun to decay."Several soldiers quietly lowered their heads."There were fliee and maggots, and even the smell was something else entirely” remering all of these Alendria stopped speaking altogether because even now, years later, he could still smell death."I screamed."He laughed bitterly."Until I no longer had the strength, ohh and the truck driver was nowhere to be found, he was gone or should I say he disappeared….. there wasn't a single person anywhere near that road, because it wasn't a busy highway so there was no one to hear me."H

CHAPTER 199

She slowly looked at every face gathered around the fire."I will never forget any of you.""My family may have fallen..."She took a deep breath."But together...""...we will become stronger."Her voice gradually regained confidence."We will build something even greater."Every soldier smiled quietly.It was the first genuine hope any of them had felt since the destruction of the Sil Clan.With Alendria's assistance, Azzura slowly rose to her feet.Her legs trembled from exhaustion.For a brief moment she nearly lost her balance.Alendria immediately steadied her without saying a word.She nodded gratefully before standing firmly on her own.Alendria then turned toward the men.Instantly, the calm guardian disappeared.The commander returned."Men."Every soldier became attentive."You heard the boss."His voice carried unquestionable authority."Get yourselves into position."He pointed toward the darkness surrounding the camp."We'll rotate our guard shifts.""Some of you rest."

CHAPTER 200

Inside however, the surviving members of the Sil Clan instinctively reached toward their weapons but before anyone could draw—Alendria calmly opened the vehicle door, he stepped onto the field alone while his expression never changed.He walked several paces forward until he stood beneath the glare of the floodlights, the two guards never lowered their rifles… as Alendria moved closer he paused as he raised his voice clearly enough for both men to hear."Il Signore del mare è tutt'uno con il mare."His words carried across the empty field and for a heartbeat…nothing happened but then both guards immediately lowered their weapons, almost simultaneously, they bowed respectfully."Please..."One of them stepped aside."Come on in."The transformation was so sudden that Azzura stared in disbelief, only moments ago they had been prepared to fire without hesitation, now they stood with heads lowered in respect.Alendria returned a polite bow of his own."Thank you."He turned toward the ot
