Francesco's words carried immediate authority.

The moment he ordered the men to change into less conspicuous clothing, no one questioned him. Every soldier acknowledged the instruction with a nod before dispersing across the deck, disappearing one after another into the lower compartments of the ship.

Heavy boots echoed against the steel floor as doors opened and closed in quick succession.

Within moments, the once-crowded deck became noticeably quieter.

    Meanwhile, as the men entered their assigned vehicles, Francesco paused beside the lead SUV and turned toward Diego. His sharp eyes briefly rested on Sergie, who remained under heavy guard with his wrists firmly restrained behind his back."Diego... get him to enter with me."The command was simple, yet it carried enough authority to erase every possibility of objection.After all, there was still far too much Francesco needed to learn, and there was no better place to question Sergie than inside the same vehicle, where every movement, every facial expression, and every hesitation could be observed without interruption."Yes, sir."Without delay, Diego motioned to two soldiers standing beside Sergie."You heard the Don. Bring him."The soldiers immediately obeyed. One held Sergie firmly by the shoulder while the other unlocked the rear door of the lead SUV. Sergie climbed inside carefully, his movements slow and deliberate, making sure not to provoke the heavily armed men surrounding

    Francesco stood at the center of the deck, allowing the silence that followed his earlier threat to Sergie to settle over every man present. The sea stretched endlessly around them, dark and calm beneath the moonlight, while the gentle rocking of the ship contrasted sharply with the violence that awaited them on land. Every man present understood that the next few hours would determine far more than the success of a single operation. It could shape the future of everything they had worked for.Slowly, Francesco turned his gaze toward every soldier standing before him."So... first things first, men."His calm voice carried across the deck with surprising clarity. Nobody interrupted him. Even the sound of the waves seemed to fade beneath the authority contained in those simple words."Today... we go against our enemy. An enemy who made us lose good people. An enemy who decided to attack us even before we truly knew who they were."His expression remained composed, yet beneath that calm

    “Sir, we should be leaving already.”Diego's voice broke the silence that had settled across the deck.He stood upright with both hands clasped behind his back, his eyes fixed on Francesco. Although he maintained his usual disciplined posture, the impatience in his voice was impossible to hide.“The night is getting darker, and the meeting should begin within the next few hours, sir.”For several long seconds, Francesco did not answer but instead, a faint smile slowly appeared on his face.He turned his head and looked directly at Diego, it was not an ordinary glance as his eyes were like the eyes of an owl observing its prey from the darkness, patiently studying every movement before deciding whether to strike.The smile remained, but it carried no warmth but calculations, and finally when everyone thought the smile and staring will never stop, Francesco spoke.“Patience, Diego.”His voice was gentle.“Patience.”He slowly rose from the chair and walked toward the edge of the deck, a

    Francesco's words carried immediate authority.The moment he ordered the men to change into less conspicuous clothing, no one questioned him. Every soldier acknowledged the instruction with a nod before dispersing across the deck, disappearing one after another into the lower compartments of the ship.Heavy boots echoed against the steel floor as doors opened and closed in quick succession.Within moments, the once-crowded deck became noticeably quieter.Only a handful of trusted men remained behind.Francesco rested both hands on the cold railing, his eyes fixed on the harbor ahead. The lights of the distant port shimmered against the dark water, creating an almost peaceful illusion that contrasted sharply with the mission awaiting them.Then another thought crossed his mind."And Diego."His calm voice cut through the silence. Diego, who had only managed to take a few steps away, immediately stopped and turned around."Yes, sir?"Francesco slowly shifted his attention toward him."W

    “I wonder if the ship itself is aware of my presence... perhaps I should ask it.”Francesco chuckled softly to himself as his fingers rested lazily against the cold steel railing of the ship. His eyes drifted toward the enormous vessel beneath his feet as though he genuinely expected it to answer him.For a brief moment, the night felt peaceful.The gentle rhythm of the waves striking the hull, the distant cries of seabirds, and the cool sea breeze had created the perfect atmosphere for him to lose himself in thought. It was one of those rare moments where the weight of responsibility loosened its grip, allowing him to breathe freely, even if only for a few seconds.He slowly turned his head.Just a few steps away stood Mufasa.The massive lion remained perfectly still upon all four paws. His golden eyes never wandered. They stayed fixed entirely on Francesco, patient and unwavering, like a loyal guardian waiting only for the next command from the one person he acknowledged as his mas

    “Also…”Just as Mr. Giovanni was about to enter the lead vehicle of the convoy, he stopped once again.His hand rested lightly on the open door as though a forgotten thought had suddenly found its way back into his mind. Without turning immediately, he slipped one hand into the inner pocket of his coat and slowly withdrew a tiny folded piece of paper.The paper was so small that an ordinary man would have dismissed it without a second glance.It looked insignificant.Worthless.Something that could easily be mistaken for a receipt or a random note.Yet appearances were often the greatest deception in the Mafia world.Mr. Giovanni held the folded paper between two fingers before extending it toward Mr. Pietro."I need you to send this letter to him."His voice remained calm."But make sure it reaches him."There was no need to mention a name because Mr. Pietro immediately understood, the moment his eyes landed on the tiny folded paper, his entire expression changed.Years of serving be

    Tommaso raised an eyebrow slightly “but you see strangely enough…”A faint smile crossed Mr Giovanni’s face as he remembers the change on his son's face whenever he sees Azzura “he remembers your daughter”Tommaso blinked slowly.“Azzura?”“Yes Tom” Mr Giovanni replied as he turned fully towards Mr

    Giovanni’s voice was calm yet commanding as every of his words carried with it hidden meaning and messages that needs to be decoded.Mr Tommaso slowly placed his wine glass down too while listening carefully as he noticed the shift in Giovanni’s tone immediately.Something serious was coming and it

    “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
