“The treasure room. I’ve to get there earlier than—”

A loud crash of breaking glass reaches my ears. Somebody’s throwing grenades by way of the home windows.

“You deal with this,” I bark at them. “Name Masseri and go deal with this. Meet me on the treasure room when it’s achieved.”

“However Boss…,” I hear one in every of them scream, and I ignore them. What they don’t perceive is that our whole empire can come crumbling down if the Coronary heart of Italy is introduced collectively by the hands of the fallacious man.

With Mario’s gun in hand, I run in direction of the library.

I discover my strategy to the treasure room, unlocking the door exterior. It’s solely after I unlock it with the important thing from my pocket and fiddle with my neck that I understand the necklace with the important thing to the glass field inside is lacking.

“Noooo,” I roar. It will not matter. I can disengage the lasers and break by way of the glass.

Rage swells inside me as I burst into the treasure room. Franco is ready within the vault.

He jumps to his toes. “They locked me in, Boss,” he exclaims.

They? Fiero and Romola had been right here?

I began to really feel relieved that Franco stayed true and adopted orders. He may have simply succumbed to the diamond’s attract and disappeared within the chaos. I’m additionally grateful that my brother is alive if Fiero and Romola had been actually right here…

My gaze falls upon the pedestal the place your complete diamond ought to sit, however I discover only one half. I really feel such reduction unfold by way of me, and I start to chortle with sheer ecstasy.

“They didn’t take it?” I ask Franco incredulously. “What occurred? Did the lasers scare them off? The place’s the opposite half?”

Franco goes pale and shakes his head. “Th…They took one half, boss. They disengaged the lasers and took one half.”

“One half?” I slither out the phrases, unable to grasp the that means behind them. “No matter may they do with one…”

After which, it hits me. “Fuuuck,” I bellow, operating to the case the place the half is left behind in mocking show.

I snatch up the remaining half, the sunshine glinting off its sides. I clench my fist across the false diamond, the perimeters biting into my palm.

A faux. It has been a ruse all alongside. Romola by no means stole the unique.

I roar in fury, the sound reverberating by way of the room. Fiero and Romola have crossed me for the final time. Now, the hunt begins.

“Comply with me, Franco,” I bark at him, and we scramble to place collectively our workforce as quickly as attainable.

I summon a couple of key guys into the library. “Discover me Fiero Cremaschia and the Toscani girl. They’ve taken one thing from me…one thing very treasured,” I inform Gianno.

Understanding dawns in Gianni’s eyes. He turns to the others, barking out orders. “You heard the Boss! Put together the automobiles and provides us a transparent exit path. We’re going after them.”

The lads rush to obey, and I stride over to the home windows to see how the warfare goes exterior. “They’ve introduced in additional males,” I mutter. Fiero should be exterior with them.”

However then, one in every of my males comes again, pale within the face. “Boss,” he tells me, trembling like a messenger getting ready to be shot.

“Out with it,” I spit at his toes.

“The guards used face detection to swiftly scan all of the CCTV footage. These two flew away.”

“Flew away?” my eyes slender.

“From a helicopter, they made land on our helipad.”

“Aaaarghhh,” I scream, throwing a vase within the course of his head. He geese, and it shatters on the wall.

I flip to Gianno. “Put together my two-seater plane. I’m following them instantly. Let me know as quickly as we’re prepared for take-off.”
