CHAPTER 162 PART 1
As Yemin gathered his belongings and prepared to head to the fighters' quarters, a familiar voice called out from behind him, causing him to freeze mid-step."Yemin! Wait!"He turned to see Katherine Shaw pushing through the crowd of spectators and fighters, her designer dress completely out of place in the grimy warehouse environment. Her perfectly styled hair and expensive jewelry made her stand out like a diamond in a coal mine."Katherine," Yemin said with obvious displeasure, "what are you doing here?""I came to see you," she said breathlessly, having clearly rushed to catch up with him. "We need to talk.""If this is about James and his childish behavior at the charity dinner, I have no interest in dealing with that again," Yemin said firmly. "I've tolerated enough of his tantrums.""No, no, that's not why I'm here," Katherine said quickly, her voice taking on a pleading tone. "James doesn't even know I came here tonight.""Then what do you want?" Yemin asked impatiently, glanc

"I'm here to register for the fights," Yemin said calmly.The man burst into laughter, his gold teeth glinting under the harsh fluorescent lights. "You hear that, Tony? Grandpa here wants to fight."Tony, a massive bouncer with arms like tree trunks, looked over with amusement. "What's he want to fight? His arthritis?""Listen, pops," the registrar said, still chuckling, "this is a serious fighting circuit. We got trained killers, ex-military, professional fighters. What we don't got is a place for senior citizens to get their skulls cracked.""I can handle myself," Yemin replied simply."Can you?" The registrar leaned back in his chair, studying Yemin with cruel amusement. "You know what happens to fighters who can't cut it here? They get carried out on stretchers. Sometimes they don't get carried out at all.""I understand the risks," Yemin said."Do you?" Tony interjected, moving closer to loom over Yemin. "Because I'm looking at a man who probably can't even open a pickle jar with
CHAPTER 161 PART 1
Three days after the warehouse incident, the Sphinx organization's encrypted communication networks buzzed with activity as reports filtered in from their investigative teams.In a secure conference room, the remaining leadership gathered to review the findings that would reshape their understanding of recent events.Agent Collins spread crime scene photographs across the polished mahogany table, his expression grim as he addressed the assembled members."Gentlemen," Collins began, his voice carrying the weight of bad news, "I've completed my analysis of the Vincenzo Torrino situation, and the results are... conclusive."Lorenzo Romano leaned forward, his weathered face showing concern."What did you find?""Vincenzo died as a hero," Collins replied, pointing to a series of photographs."He tracked down Viktor 'The Phantom' Kozlov, the legendary assassin responsible for killing Joseph Ultra and Marco Benedetti.""And?" Salvatore Greco prompted impatiently."Both men died in the confro

"That's not an answer," Vincenzo snarled. "That's a deflection. And I'm done with deflections.""What do you want to know?""Everything," Vincenzo said, raising his gun to point it at the old man's head. "Who are you working for? How do you know so much about the Sphinx organization? And most importantly, what's your real agenda here?""My agenda is exactly what I told you," Yemin replied. "To keep you alive long enough to be useful.""Useful for what?" Vincenzo demanded. "What do you really want from me?""Information," Yemin said quietly. "About the Sphinx leadership. About their operations. About their history.""Why?" Vincenzo pressed. "Who wants to know these things?""Someone who has a very personal interest in the organization," Yemin replied cryptically."Stop talking in riddles!" Vincenzo shouted, his patience finally snapping. "I want straight answers, or I'm going to put a bullet in your skull!""Backing out of our arrangement was a terrible idea, Vincenzo," Yemin said calm
CHAPTER 160 PART 1
As they walked through the dark alley behind the auction house, Vincenzo's mind raced with calculations and opportunities.The old man had just accomplished something that should have been impossible - eliminating Viktor Kozlov with nothing more than a cane and surgical precision.But now that the hard work was done, Vincenzo saw no reason to remain subordinate to someone he viewed as a temporary ally.I know the rest of the plan, Vincenzo thought as he watched the elderly figure shuffling ahead of him.Plant evidence linking Kozlov to the Russian Bratva, present his body as proof that I eliminated the threat. I don't need this old fool anymore."Excellent work back there," Vincenzo said, his voice carefully neutral. "Your technique was... impressive.""Thank you," Yemin replied in his quavering elderly voice."Now we need to focus on the next phase. We'll need to plant the evidence carefully to make it convincing.""About that," Vincenzo said, suddenly stopping in his tracks. "I've b
CHAPTER 159 PART 2
Six hours later, Vincenzo's surveillance network had paid off. Viktor Kozlov had been spotted entering an underground auction house known for dealing in stolen artwork and rare collectibles.The location was perfect - isolated, heavily secured, and completely off the official radar."He's there," Vincenzo said, ending his call as he and Yemin sat in a van parked two blocks from the target location."My sources confirm he's inside, likely bidding on a stolen Monet.""Perfect," Yemin said, checking his watch."How many men do you have in position?""Eight of my best," Vincenzo replied."All armed, all experienced. But I have to ask again - how exactly do you plan to take down Viktor Kozlov? The man has survived assassination attempts by three different governments.""Leave that to me," Yemin said, his elderly voice carrying an edge of confidence that made Vincenzo uneasy."Old man, with all due respect, Kozlov is not some street thug. He's a professional killer with decades of experienc
