CHAPTER 51

“I am ready, Mr. Pietro.”Francesco's voice was calm, deep and unwavering as he fixed his sharp gaze steady on Mr. Pietro who stood silently by the side of the room with his hands clasped behind his back.The room itself was quiet, way too quiet.As only the faint ticking of an antique clock mounted on the wall could be heard. The golden light from the chandelier above reflected off the polished marble floor, creating an atmosphere of authority and power.Looking at each other for several seconds neither of them spoke.Mr. Pietro simply stared at Francesco with the eyes of an old advisor's whose eyes carefully studied the young man standing before him.Gone was the reckless youth who once acted without thinking.Gone was the boy who sought approval.Right now what stood before him was someone entirely different, something way extraordinary.It was a man, cold and very dangerous.A man preparing to walk directly into enemy territory without a shred of fear for his life.After a very lo

CHAPTER 52

A secret door.For the first time in a long while, genuine surprise appeared in Francesco's eyes “so this kind of tunnel exists and I never knew about it all these years?" he thought.He could hardly believe it that even though he had lived within this estate for most of his life.He knew the security systems.The hidden rooms.The underground facilities.Or at least, he thought he did but yet somehow, an entire secret passage had existed beneath his nose without his knowledge. The realization was unsettling.Without saying a word, Mr. Pietro entered the hidden doorway while Francesco and Mufasa followed immediately.The very moment they stepped inside, the secret door slowly closed behind them as the sound echoed throughout the narrow passage.Thud.Darkness swallowed the entrance as only dim wall lights guided their path.Francesco's eyes moved constantly, observing every corners, analyzing and memorizing every single detail.The deeper they walked, the more uncomfortable Francesco

CHAPTER 53

"Are you sure about that sir?" he asked calmly.Francesco narrowed his eyes."What do you mean by that Mr Pietro, I remember telling you clearly that I have no time for your time wasters"Mr. Pietro stepped aside and pointed toward the apparently empty wall."Come forward" he said this time his voice suddenly became serious “and tuck your necklace into this space here”The moment those words left his mouth, Francesco instinctively touched the necklace hanging around his neck.The necklace was the final gift from his mother, the one item he never removed. The one possession he protected more carefully than any weapon.“For eternity I will carry it with the understanding of it's significance in my life” Francesco had promised himself.This was a memory and a symbol of his mother's love.Yet after everything he had witnessed today, he was beginning to realize that perhaps there was much more to it.Francesco slowly stepped forward as his heartbeat quickened as questions flooded his mind

CHAPTER 54

"Have you ever been here Pietro?" he asked, his voice remained calm but curiosity was obvious.Mr. Pietro shook his head immediately."No, I have not sir, how can I when you are the real boss. You know the owner of the necklace"His eyes remained fixed on the surrounding treasures “but your mother always gave me a clear description of this place though and what it looked like on the inside" Mr Pietro said.Francesco looked surprised “you knew about this?""Only in theory actually” Mr Pietro smiled “and for your information young one, I will never be able to access this place even if I tried”He pointed toward the entrance “and neither will anyone else” Mr Pietro smile widened “except you”The words carried significant weight in itself as Francesco glanced around the room again then he slowly nodded."Well, that explains why no one has been able to find this place or touch anything at all” Everything suddenly made sense now, right from the missing cameras to the hidden passage, the n

CHAPTER 55

The resemblance was so perfect that it felt unreal, for a brief moment Francesco felt as if his mother were standing before him once again.Beside him, even Mr. Pietro struggled to comprehend what he was witnessing, his eyes widened as he stared at the female robot.He slowly removed his glasses before cleaning them carefully, then he looked again.The figure remained unchanged and the resemblance was undeniable.“Did Francesco's mother actually take the time to create something that carries her exact appearance?”Mr. Pietro thought to himself.His expression became filled with disbelief.“This is truly unreal.”The old advisor had known the woman personally and he knew her intelligence, her foresight and that strong determination.But even he never imagined she had gone this far, because the amount of planning required to create something like this was almost unimaginable.The resources, secrecy and technology all of it pointed toward years of preparation but somehow she had accomp

CHAPTER 56

The tension in the room grew as nobody moved or spoke, and then suddenly all seven robots dropped to one knee simultaneously.THUD!The synchronized movement echoed throughout the chamber as their heads lowered respectfully, and in a perfect unison they spoke.“Master Francesco”The sound sent chills through the room and even Mr. Pietro looked impressed as a broad smile appeared on his face.“Well, well well what do we have here Francesco” Mr Pietro said as he chuckled softly.“They actually called you Master”The old advisor folded his arms “you know what young man, you are truly blessed believe me when I say so”His gaze moved toward the robots “to receive such gifts as these from your mothe” he gestured around the room “the resources here alone are enough for you to start your own life you know right?”This time Mr Pietro's voice became serious “you can decide to build an empire” a brief pause followed “believe when I say an entire empire son”Francesco looked around the room and t

CHAPTER 57

“Did you just laugh sir?” Mr Pietro asked, the shock in his voice was impossible to hide.Francesco raised an eyebrow.“What?”Mr. Pietro pointed at him dramatically.“No, no, no!” his voice echoed through the room.“Did you actually just laugh?” The old advisor looked genuinely stunned, this was not an exaggeration.Because in all the years he had known Francesco, genuine laughter was practically nonexistent, the Francesco everyone knew was cold, focused and extremely dangerous.The type of man who could make grown men tremble simply by entering a room and even when he laughed in the past, it was usually during battle.The laughter of someone standing over defeated enemies, the laughter of a predator and a killer who no longer feared consequences.But this?This was completely different, it was natural. And human.For the first time in many years, Francesco had laughed like a normal young man, seeing this Mr. Pietro almost felt emotional witnessing it but Francesco on the side simpl

CHAPTER 58

Seeing this Mufasa instinctively stepped closer to Francesco as its protective instincts kicked in immediately. The giant beast remained alert while its eyes never left the robots.Francesco on the side however remained calm as his curiosity had completely overcome any concern.The robots stopped directly before him, then all seven spoke simultaneously “may we have a look at your necklace Master?”The request caught him slightly off guard as his hand instinctively moved toward the necklace hanging around his neck.The necklace was left behind by his mother, the same necklace that had granted him access to this hidden chamber, the same necklace that had revealed the inheritance she left behind.Francesco looked at it for a moment then he smiled “well who knew this odd looking necklace held so much mysteries in itself after all” Francesco said to himself as he carefully removed it from his neck “Sure, here it is”He extended his hand toward the robots, the necklace dangled gently fro

CHAPTER 59

“At least now I have you guys” his hand touched the lion pendant “and Mufasa here to help me grow and achieve my goals faster.”The giant beast beside him lifted its head proudly as it's golden eyes shone brightly.Then Francesco turned toward another person standing inside the room “and Mr. Pietro also”A slight smile appeared on his face as he looked directly at the old advisor.The smile wasn't large but it was genuine and for Mr. Pietro, that alone was enough.The old advisor immediately felt warmth spread through his chest.For years he had stood beside Francesco, years of guidance,of sacrifice and of loyalty and despite the countless walls Francesco had built around himself, the young man had still acknowledged him.“He really recognized me after all” Mr. Pietro thought quietly as a faint smile appeared on his lips.“That smells good, can you smell it also?” There was a certain satisfaction hidden behind those thoughts, this was not pride or arrogance but just the simple satis

CHAPTER 60

The deep voice of Mr Giovanni echoed through the hall radiating power from every corner.Mr Giovanni sat on his throne like a king that he is, seated upon his throne with his presence that dominated the entire room.Before him stood two young men. Lorenzo and Francesco, both dressed in expensive suits standing straight as both of them looked like professional men of the business world.They were the future of the family and the future of the Ndrangheta empire.“Yes Father, I am aware” they answered simultaneously as their voices echoed through the hall.Hearing those words from his son loud and clear Mr Giovanni nodded “alright, that's good of you both” he said, his expression remained serious and emotionless.The atmosphere instantly became tense because every word spoken by Mr Giovanni carried weight and every decision he took carried consequences.He then leaned slightly forward “well for starters, both of you will be sent to two different territories like we had discussed earlie
