Chapter 456
The following morning at Bellagio Group began like any other working day, but beneath the surface of routine greetings and elevator chimes, something was wrong. The reception desk operated as usual. Assistants sorted files. Managers reviewed schedules. The building’s glass exterior reflected the early sun in calm brilliance. Yet an invisible tension drifted quietly through the corridors.Antonio had not arrived.At first, no one paid it much attention. He was known for discipline, but on rare occasions he shifted his schedule without broad announcements. Still, as minutes stretched into an hour, concern began to surface. His office had remained locked from the inside the previous night. Security had followed standard procedure and unlocked it in the early hours.It was empty.His desk was undisturbed. His chair was positioned neatly. Nothing appeared stolen or broken. Yet he was not there.His phone was unreachable.His vehicle was not in the parking lot.No one had seen him leave.Wi

Within a short time after Tina dialed the number, the call connected. The line clicked softly, followed by a brief hum of static before a familiar, composed voice answered from the other end.“Tina,” the voice said, steady and controlled.It was none other than Robert Adams.Even through the phone, his presence carried weight. His tone held the discipline of a man accustomed to authority, someone who measured every word before releasing it. There was no greeting beyond her name, no wasted pleasantries. He had been expecting her call.Tina did not waste a second.“It’s done,” she said, her voice calm and level, though there was an unmistakable gravity beneath it. “Antonio is finally dead.”The words settled heavily into the silence that followed. For several seconds, Robert did not respond. It was not the silence of confusion; it was the silence of someone absorbing information that carried enormous consequences. The kind of silence filled with disbelief and cautious hope intertwined.

Upon hearing from the man that Antonio was finally dead, Tina could hardly believe it. For a brief second, the words felt distant, as though they belonged to someone else’s story. The weight of what she had orchestrated—the careful planning, the calculated risks, the deliberate instructions—pressed against her thoughts. The precision with which the men had carried out the operation seemed almost unreal. She had anticipated resistance. She had prepared for complications. Yet the finality in the man’s voice suggested something undeniable.She stood silently, phone still at her ear, allowing the information to settle. Her mind raced with a mixture of disbelief and satisfaction. Months of quiet strategy had culminated in this single confirmation. Every conversation, every concealed motive, every carefully placed instruction had led here. A slow exhale escaped her lips as she steadied herself, regaining the composure she was known for.Then, with a sharp breath, she addressed the men on th

As soon as the tallest man reached Antonio, he immediately grabbed hold of him, trying to bring his head down toward his feet, forcing him to the ground. The motion was sudden, precise, and driven by years of training, the kind that turned instinct into instinctive action. Antonio, in that brief instant, offered no resistance. His body remained calm, almost unnervingly relaxed, as if he had anticipated the move and calculated the outcome in advance. There was no flailing, no instinctive counter; instead, the stillness of his stance made him appear weightless under their grasp.Within moments, the other four men rushed in, converging on him from all angles. They closed the space around him with swift efficiency, their movements harmonized as if they were extensions of one single entity. Every step, every shift of weight, every grasp of a hand or foot was deliberate, measured, and executed with the precision of practiced professionals. The air itself seemed to tighten around them, each

Antonio’s office was quiet except for the soft rustle of papers as he packed the remaining documents for the day. The city skyline glimmered faintly through the tinted glass windows, reflecting the fading light of early evening in muted streaks of gold and orange. The hum of the air conditioning provided a calm background, steady and constant, almost meditative in contrast to the storm brewing outside. Antonio had just finished organizing the last of the folders, stacking them neatly and aligning each document with exacting precision, when a sudden crash shattered the calm, reverberating through the office like a cannon blast in an empty hall.Five older men, dressed in muted tones but moving with deliberate, almost predatory precision, burst into the office. Their faces were set, hard lines etched with years of experience, and their eyes glimmered with cold focus, scanning the room as if mapping every corner for advantage. In their hands gleamed weapons polished to a deadly shine—met

Cynthia stood motionless after the call disconnected, her phone still pressed to her ear long after the line had gone dead. The silence that followed felt colder than Antonio’s voice had been. It wrapped around her like a heavy fog, suffocating and absolute. Slowly, almost mechanically, she lowered the phone and stared at the dark screen. Her reflection stared back faintly, distorted by the dim light in the room.“A chameleon under green grass…” she whispered bitterly.The accusation echoed in her mind, looping over and over like a cruel refrain. A chameleon. Deceptive. Hidden. Dangerous. The words stung more deeply than she expected. She had risked herself trying to intervene at the company. She had stepped into danger, placing herself between Antonio and men who clearly meant harm. She had acted without hesitation, without calculation—only instinct. Yet he had looked at her with suspicion. Spoken to her with contempt. Declared that she would pay.Her fingers tightened around the pho
