The gunfight that followed was brief but devastating. Vivian huddled behind her reinforced bedroom door as bullets shattered her expensive furnishings and shredded her carefully curated artwork.

"THEY'RE BREACHING!" Patterson screamed before his voice was cut off by a burst of automatic fire.

Within minutes, the shooting stopped, replaced by an ominous silence that felt more terrifying than the violence itself.

Vivian held her breath as heavy footsteps approached her bedroom door.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are, beautiful!" Enzo's voice called through the splintered wood with mocking triumph.

"Your boyfriend's on his way, and I want you ready for the reunion!"

The door exploded inward as Enzo kicked it off its hinges, his assault rifle trained on Vivian's trembling form.

"There's my prize," he said with sadistic satisfaction, grabbing her by the hair and dragging her toward the living room.

"You and me gonna have a real special conversation."

"What do you want?" Vivian demanded

    "I've had time to think about our situation," Vivian continued with growing boldness."About what I witnessed in my apartment, about the power I have over you.""Power?" Sebastian laughed with genuine amusement."You think you have power over me?""I know I do," Vivian declared with desperate certainty."I saw you murder Enzo Calabrese in cold blood. I can destroy you with a single phone call to the police."Sebastian's expression remained completely unchanged, as if she'd just commented on the weather rather than threatening to expose him for murder."And?" he asked with maddening indifference."And I want answers!" Vivian demanded with growing frustration."I want to know everything about your relationship with Karvel Cross, every detail about what you did to him, every aspect of whatever arrangement you two have!"She's still obsessed with the connection between Sebastian Sterling and Karvel Cross, Sebastian realized with dark amusement.Her curiosity is going to be her downfall."

    Just as the attack reached its climax, Sebastian Sterling appeared like an avenging angel, moving through the attackers with inhuman speed and precision.His first strike dropped Mario instantly, while his second and third eliminated Sal and Giuseppe before they could react."WHAT THE HELL?" Antonio gasped as Sebastian systematically dismantled their assault with professional brutality."Sebastian!" Leo cried with overwhelming relief as his lieutenant savagely beat down the remaining thugs."Thank God you're here!""WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY?" screamed the last conscious attacker before Sebastian's boot connected with his face.Within minutes, all seven attackers lay unconscious on the park's manicured grass while Sebastian stood over them without even breathing hard."Are you hurt?" Sebastian asked with apparent concern, helping Leo to his feet."No, thanks to you," Leo replied with obvious gratitude."How did you know we were in danger?""I've been tracking chatter about retaliation

    The Romano estate's study resembled a war zone as Leo paced frantically behind his desk, his phone ringing constantly with increasingly hostile calls from enraged criminals whose fortunes had vanished overnight.Empty whiskey bottles littered the floor while financial documents detailing his catastrophic losses covered every surface."THOMPSON!" Leo roared with voice-cracking fury, his expensive suit wrinkled and stained from days of stress-induced neglect."HOW MUCH DID WE LOSE?""Two hundred million in cash, sir," Thompson replied with obvious reluctance."Plus client records that compromise every major criminal organization in the region.""TWO HUNDRED MILLION!" Leo screamed, sweeping documents off his desk with violent force."HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET PAST GESHER'S SECURITY?"Before Thompson could respond, Leo's phone buzzed with another call from a number he recognized with growing dread."Romano," he answered with forced composure."YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" screamed the voice of Vin

    "Enlighten us," Sebastian replied with dangerous calm as his men secured the building's interior."This bank serves the most powerful criminal organizations on the East Coast!" Antonio continued with growing bravado."When they find out about this robbery, you'll all be dead within twenty-four hours!"The same empty threats I've heard from every one of Leo's operations, Sebastian observed with amusement.These people really believe Romano's reputation makes them untouchable."Is that supposed to scare us?" Sebastian asked with cold indifference."It should terrify you!" Antonio replied with increasing desperation."Leo Romano alone has over fifty million dollars in our vaults! When he finds out—""When he finds out," Sebastian interrupted with predatory satisfaction, "he'll realize that his mysterious enemy can reach him anywhere.""Mysterious enemy?" Antonio's face went pale as recognition dawned."You're... you're the one who's been attacking his operations.""Very perceptive," Sebas

    Sebastian's convoy departed the Romano estate with the satisfaction of having successfully redirected Leo's suspicions away from Karvel Cross, but the encounter had revealed the dangerous volatility lurking beneath Leo's increasingly paranoid facade.I can't trust him to remain rational, Sebastian thought as he reviewed the evening's psychological manipulation.His mental state is deteriorating faster than anticipated, which makes him both more dangerous and more unpredictable.The success of his first two operations against Leo's empire had exceeded expectations, but Sebastian knew that escalation required increasingly sophisticated attacks to maintain the psychological pressure while avoiding detection.Time for the third phase, he decided with cold calculation.Something that will hit Leo where it really hurts—his financial infrastructure.Gesher's Private Banking occupied a fortress-like building in Carson City's financial district, its reinforced concrete walls and advanced secur

    The Romano estate's front entrance became an impromptu war council as Leo's paranoid revelations about his mysterious enemy hung in the air like smoke from a battlefield.Sebastian maintained his expression of loyal concern while internally savoring the irony of Leo seeking his help to hunt down himself."Boss, you've convinced me that this enemy is incredibly dangerous," Sebastian said with apparent dedication. "But how exactly do we find someone who's been hiding successfully for years?""That's where strategic thinking comes into play," Leo replied with manic confidence, his eyes blazing with the fervor of someone who believed he'd finally identified his tormentor."We don't need to find him directly—we just need to follow the trail he's left behind.""What kind of trail?" Sebastian pressed with professional curiosity."Karvel Cross," Leo declared with triumphant certainty."That worthless parasite is the key to everything."Here we go, Sebastian thought with anticipation.Time to
