He nodded. “None of you may be harmed. The Lucas Cosa Nostra will reign supreme.”

A smile pushed on the nook of my lips. “That is how we’ll do it.”

The moon was nonexistent as we surrounded Niccolò’s compound. Darkness settled over the world, and my intestine growled with the starvation for the blood of my enemies.

Giovanni Morocco exited the Niccolò compound, walked towards me, and paused.

“They’re having dinner. Penelope and her mom are serving all of them. They’re full of pompous assurance, these three: Antonio, Riccardo, and Rolando.”

I quirked a forehead. “Rolando?”

“Apparently, when he disappeared this morning, it had nothing to do with you being awake out of your coma. He went to seal the deal on a treaty they’ve proposed with one another—and so they’ve introduced me into the combo.”

“They need you to be an in depth ally?”

“They don’t know that we’re quickly household nor that you’re alive. They solely know that Dameon is lifeless, and Rolando thinks you may be quickly.”

A snarl moved by way of me, and I opened my hand, palm aspect up. Giovanni shook my hand.

“Thanks on your service.”

“No downside. Do you want the rest? I can order a number of of my guys to stay round for backup must you want it.”

My gaze narrowed. “Not this time. We all know the place all of the entrances and exits are. Nobody’s getting behind or forward of us.” I winked at him. “Subsequent time.”

He nodded, turned, and whistled, and he and his males left.

I lifted a telephone to my lips and spoke to the capos stationed across the compound. “Kill everybody however Riccardo, Antonio, and Rolando. They’re mine. And don’t contact a hair on Penelope’s head—defend her and her mom in any respect prices.”

A momentary silence stuffed the night time; then, the primary spherical of gunshots permeated the air, adopted by screams of terror.

I walked to a railing and climbed the ladder to the rooftop. Lifting my binoculars, I scoped out the world and noticed the helipad the place a helicopter was stationed.

I whistled, and Bruno was at my aspect. I pointed and he squatted to at least one knee, then positioned a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

“Wait.” I held my hand out, and when the door to the roof burst open, I snapped, “Now!”

Riccardo ran in the direction of the helicopter because the missile flew throughout the compound. The explosion despatched him flying backward to the exit he’d run out of, and I walked throughout the roof as capos positioned themselves round me, however out of sight in numerous kill spots.

I approached and stood earlier than him. His eyes rolled in his head—unfocused. Working out the exit behind him was Rolando. Shock crossed his face as he barreled into me, however fell again to the bottom, arms flailing as he bounced off my strong body on collision.

“You…” he stuttered in Italian. “You had been lifeless. You had been barely respiration.”

“And but, right here I’m, totally rejuvenated and able to spill the blood out of your veins.”

He shook his head frantically. “It wasn’t my thought!” He pointed to Riccardo. “He threatened to kill my household—my mom!”

“Do you suppose I give a fuck, Rolando?”

I bared my enamel like a pit bull. Insanity stuffed me as anger roared by way of my physique, and I shifted with the darkness that rolled in me.

“I don’t give a fuck about you, your mom, your youngsters, or any thought you might have within the subsequent few seconds that you just breathe. You had been my father’s most cherished ally. You betrayed him.”

“No! You don’t perceive!”

Two of my capos got here by way of the exit; one in all them—Mano—was dragging Antonio Cappalli with him.
