91%1 Finished
Alessandro arrived at the Center's headquarters, and the guards standing at the entrance instinctively bowed before him, a reflex bred from years of respect and fear. No one could deny who he was- Alessandro Valentino, the most powerful and invincible man in the underworld. His official departure hadn't been announced, so his position still belonged to him, and no one dared to challenge or offend him openly.
He walked in without hesitation or a second glance, no one stopping him or checking him for weapons. Alessandro moved freely, like a lion striding through his domain. When he reached the office of the Center, where the three heads-Salvatore, Giuseppe, and Luigi- were already gathered, he didn't bother knocking. He pushed the door open with authority and entered, his presence as imposing as ever.
"Alessandro!" Salvatore barked, his voice filled with disdain. "You've forgotten your manners. No one disrespects the Center like this," he scowled, visibly offended by Alessandro's brazen entrance.
But Alessandro only threw his head back and laughed, the sound echoing through the room, laced with both amusement and menace.
"Are you kidding me, Salvatore?!" he mocked, a smirk playing on his lips. "I can enter wherever I want without needing anyone's permission. By the way, it's Don Alessandro to you," he narrowed his eyes at the older man, his gaze carrying a directive warning- *The last time I checked, you were summoned here to face consequences for your rebellious actions, Salvatore scolded, trying to maintain an air of authority.
"And the last time I checked, I hadn't been officially stripped of my position as the capo," Alessandro shot back, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Then, in a swift motion, he pulled out his gun, pointing it directly at Salvatore's head. "But you still dare to touch my children and mess with me?"
Panic surged through the room, a heavy silence enveloping them as the weight of Alessandro's threat settled like a thick fog. The tension was palpable, each man in the room acutely aware of the dangerous game they were playing.
"What the hell are you doing, Don Alessandro?" Luigi yelled, his voice laced with panic. "We didn't know anything about your children! You know we never involve families."
Alessandro's grip on the gun tightened, his voice a low, dangerous growl. "That's the law I put in place," he grumbled, his eyes locked on Salvatore. "But this fucking old man defied the mafia law. And we all know the only punishment for that in the mafia-death." Fury ignited in Alessandro's voice as he declared the sentence.
Salvatore's face turned pale, his eyes wide as the gravity of the situation hit him. "Wha-what are you talking about?" he stuttered, fear creeping into his voice.
Suddenly, the doors burst open, and armed mafia guards stormed into the room, scattering and surrounding Alessandro. His furious gaze swept over each guard, but none dared make a move. Despite the tension, their postures betrayed their allegiance, backing down in silent deference to the capo.
"Seize him!" Salvatore barked, his voice trembling with anger. "He's gone rogue! He's challenging the Center!" The other heads exchanged uneasy looks, clearly shaken by Salvatore's bold defiance.

But the guards remained still, unmoved by his orders.
"I said, take him down!" Salvatore roared, his face contorted with frustration.Content © Nôdaisynovel.com 2024.

"They won't follow you, Salvatore," Alessandro responded coldly, his voice edged with a dangerous calm. "Their loyalty is to me."
Just then, Lucas entered the room, stepping confidently to Alessandro's side. His mere presence underscored the shift in power. With his right-hand man by his side, Alessandro's authority was indisputable.
"Don Alessandro, what's going on? Can we sit down and discuss this peacefully?" Giuseppe suggested, attempting to regain control of the escalating situation.
"No. The chance for a peaceful discussion is gone, and now only my gun will speak," Alessandro gritted out dangerously, his eyes cold and unforgiving.
"Listen, Don Alessandro," Luigi interjected, sensing the gravity of the situation as it escalated with the involvement of the capo's family. "We had no knowledge of your children's abduction. We only wanted you here to sort this out, to either face the consequences or resume your role in the Italian Mafia." "But my family has been dragged into this mess, and now it's personal," Alessandro replied, his voice dripping with chilling severity. "I won't stop until I get my revenge."
So start talking, Salvatore, or should I be the one to tell them what you've done to the Center?" Alessandro's authoritative voice rang out, sending a visible tremor through Salvatore, whose fear was now evident.
