Lorenzo said to himself as he brought out his obsidian black dagger and in a flash he moved towards Francesco "I will make sure to stab you to death for this rubbish you just said" Lorenzo called out loud, but before he could hit a stab on Francesco.

Everything happened too fast and the black dagger flashed beneath the chandelier lights as several guards shouted in panic that even one servant dropped an entire tray of wine glasses on the floor from fear.

But Francesco did not move…not even an i

    Even though his knees felt weak and his palms were sweating profusely but he forced himself to remain composed, and after all the panic would only make things worse.“Sir are you okay?” Diego finally asked after a while in silence as he fixed his gaze on Francesco who clearly was not in his right frame of mind.On the side Francesco remained quiet as the dream replayed itself again.The figure. The voice. The words. Karma. The strange certainty in the creature's eyes.“This is the second time I am having a nightmare about this strange figure with my face, what's going on?” Francesco asked himself in his head as he remembered the dream he had some minutes again and without even realizing himself he jerked unconsciously.A chill travelled down his spine “something about the dream feels different” Francesco said to himself “this time it did not feel like imagination, no it felt real, far too real like it was happening right now”As Francesco thought about it, he felt a slight pain pass t

    “You are weak…you are nothing, you will cry at the loss of those you believe are with you” a very dark smoky shadow figure of Francesco said as it fixed it's gaze on Francesco who stood still bare chested.The surroundings were different now as the air itself felt distorted, Francesco looked around, nothing made sense as darkness stretched endlessly in every direction.There were no walls, no doors, no ceiling but only shadows and directly before him stood the figure, a reflection, a version of himself and yet not himself.Its eyes seemed darker, it's smile colder and it's presence more sinister.“You believe you are the best, but no your heart will burn out…and I will swallow you whole” the figure said as the voice echoed unnaturally as if coming from everywhere at once.“I will swallow you whole and make you useless and you will kneel as everything you worked so hard for comes down crumbling in your very eyes” the voice said again.Every word felt heavier than the last that the dar

    “Ohh apologies sir for not informing you earlier.” Diego said apologetically “I had done as you commanded sir, and have so far I have compiled so much out for your consumption and here it is sir.” As Diego spoke, he turned toward his side.There, resting beside his chair stood a large black suitcase.Diego reached down, gripped the handle and carefully lifted it. The metal clasps clicked softly as he placed the case on the table, the sound immediately drew everyone's attention that even Mufasa seemed to glance toward it briefly.“This took nearly five days of nonstop investigation to come up with this detailed intel sir” Diego said.“The men worked through multiple networks, contacts, old archives, criminal databases, military records and underground sources to compile everything.”Francesco's interest visibly increased, that alone told him there might be something valuable inside, picking it up and placing on the taking, with one smooth click Diego opened the cuit case.Immediately r

    “So sir,” Diego spoke for the first time in the meeting, breaking the silence that had settled heavily over the underground conference room, “so you mean to say sir that the Bratva family knows what they are doing?”The question lingered in the air and for several seconds no one spoke. The underground bunker remained unusually quiet as the soft hum of electrical equipment echoed faintly through the room.Francesco leaned back slightly in his chair as his fingers tapped slowly against the armrest as he stared at Diego while the expression on his face remained calm.“Ohh come on Diego of course they do,” Francesco replied, this time his voice carried absolute certainty “for a family that has been for years do you expect them to be emotional in their actions. Especially when it involves the number one family in the whole world?”The question struck Diego immediately as his expression showed his understanding while Francesco's cold and calculating gaze remained fixed on him.“Ohh come on

    Francesco paused briefly as his gaze moved across the underground conference room, the room itself was silent as the only sounds that could be heard were the faint hum of the ventilation system above them and the occasional rustling of papers spread across the large table.“What about the casino sir…we have had a larger increase compared to before, even though that large input seems suspicious,” Dmitry said as he stroked his beard.His brows furrowed as he spoke, because the increase in customers should have been a good thing, well yes under normal circumstances it would have been celebrated but then nothing about their current situation was normal.The sudden flood of customers arriving after the casino incident bothered him because it felt too convenient almost as if someone wanted them distracted or slightly comfortable and Dmitry had survived too long in the underworld to trust comfort.“Yes I noticed also,” Francesco replied, his voice remained calm because he had noticed it almo

    Yes, the Bratva family was not some ordinary organization, they are powerful, influential and feared and yet Francesco spoke of bringing them down as though he were discussing tomorrow's weather.“I promise I will bring them all down” Francesco's final words carried absolute certainty, this was not a wish neither is it dream but instead it sounded like a decision already made.Every man in the room listened to him attentively, not one of them dared to overreact or do something stupid, like they were afraid that the devil would finish them off for any mistakes made.“Get this place settled, we don't want our clients loosing trust in us or our services because we can't handle some small fries” Francesco said after a while with a weird smile on his face.Business always came first and that fact surprised several people that after everything that had happened, Francesco's focus returned immediately to maintaining operations.The casino was important, true and Its reputation was important

    She was not being handed over immediately which meant that she still had time…enough time to think and understand things.Well and perhaps…a time to figure out Francesco himself but unfortunately the mere thought of him instantly irritated her again.His annoyingly calm face crossed her mind mixed

    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

    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
