Chapter 40

Peter slammed his fist against the mahogany desk, causing the expensive crystal tumbler to wobble precariously. Tommy's voice through the phone speaker was tinged with both fear and anger.

"I'm telling you, boss, this guy just waltzed in claiming to be the Yemin and took out three of our best men like they were nothing!" Tommy's voice cracked slightly.

At the mention of that name, a cold shiver ran down Peter's spine. Images flashed through his mind—a battlefield, the humiliating defeat, the whispers that followed. He shook his head, dispelling the memory.

"Don't be ridiculous," Peter growled, masking his momentary discomfort with aggression. "That was years ago, and certainly not here. Some punk is trying to intimidate you with a name."

"But boss—"

"Enough! I'll be there in twenty minutes. Nobody challenges my authority in my own territory. Keep them there."

Peter disconnected the call and stared out the window of his penthouse office. Could it really be him? After all the

    "Justin Castellanos?" Yemin's eyes sharpened with interest."The Supreme Leader himself," Marco said with vicious satisfaction. "And when Domenico Vitale and Matteo Rossi get involved, you'll wish you were never born."Yemin's expression remained unchanged throughout Marco's threats. When the crime boss finished his tirade, Yemin delivered a resounding slap across his face that snapped his head to the side with explosive force.The blow was so powerful that Marco's vision went white for several seconds. When his sight returned, he found himself staring at Yemin in stunned silence, his cheek burning with pain."Let me introduce myself properly," Yemin said, his voice taking on a deadly edge. "My name is Alexander Ashford. You and your organization killed my mother fifteen years ago."Marco's eyes widened in recognition and terror. The name Alexander Ashford was legendary within the Sphinx - the heir who had disappeared, the one they'd been hunting for years."No," Marco whispered, his

    Yemin moved through Marco's private wing with the silence of a predator, his footsteps making no sound on the marble floors.The sedative he'd used was a military-grade compound that could drop an elephant for twenty-four hours - his three obstacles would remain unconscious well into the next evening.Marco's bedroom was at the end of a long corridor lined with priceless artwork.Yemin pushed open the heavy oak door and stepped inside, taking in the opulent surroundings.The room was larger than most apartments, with a king-sized bed positioned beneath a crystal chandelier and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the villa's gardens.Marco Benedetti lay sleeping peacefully, completely unaware that death had entered his sanctuary.Yemin approached the bed calmly and sat down on the edge of the mattress, the slight depression in the bed causing Marco to stir slightly."Marco," Yemin said softly, gently shaking the crime boss's shoulder."Time to wake up."Marco's eyes fluttered open, hi

    Once alone in a storage room, Yemin carefully uncorked the wine and added a measured amount of colorless powder from a small vial.The sedative was tasteless and odorless, but potent enough to drop a grown man within minutes.More importantly, Yemin had built up an immunity to it through years of careful exposure.He recorked the bottle and made his way to the guards' station outside Marco's wing.The three men looked up suspiciously as he approached, their hands instinctively moving toward their weapons."What do you want, ninth place?" Salvatore demanded harshly."I brought you something," Yemin said humbly, holding up the wine bottle."A peace offering.""Peace offering?" Antonio laughed mockingly."What makes you think we want peace with you?""I know you think I had something to do with Francesco's accident," Yemin said, his voice carefully submissive. "I want to prove that I'm not your enemy.""You're right about one thing," Luca sneered."We do think you're responsible for what

    Yemin sat in his quarters, methodically cleaning his gear as he contemplated his next move.The villa had been buzzing with whispered conversations since Francesco's "accident" the previous night.The official story was that the fourth-ranked guard had fallen down the cellar stairs while drunk, but the severity of his injuries suggested something far more sinister.Time is running out, Yemin thought as he checked his watch.If I wait any longer, Marco will start asking too many questions. Tonight is the night.The challenge was getting past the three remaining personal guards who maintained constant vigil outside Marco's private wing.Salvatore, Antonio, and Luca had grown even more paranoid since Francesco's hospitalization, and they never left their posts unattended.Down the hall, the three guards huddled together in Salvatore's room, their voices low but their anger palpable."This is bullshit," Salvatore hissed, pacing like a caged animal."Francesco is lying in a hospital bed wi

    Yemin turned to Maria with the same calm expression he'd maintained throughout the entire confrontation."Don't worry, Maria. You're not in any danger at all."Francesco's face contorted with rage at Yemin's casual dismissal of the threat."NOT IN DANGER?! Are you fucking insane? Look around you, ninth place! You're outnumbered three to one in a basement with no witnesses!""I can see that," Yemin replied matter-of-factly."Then how can you stand there and tell this bitch she's safe?" Francesco roared, his massive frame trembling with fury. "You're about to get your ass kicked by a real soldier!""You still have the nerve to underestimate me," Francesco continued, his voice rising to a crescendo."Despite the fact that you're inferior to me in every possible way! Rank, training, experience, size - I'm better than you at everything!"Giuseppe and Vincenzo flanked their leader, cracking their knuckles in anticipation of the violence to come."Look at him, Francesco," Giuseppe sneered."

    Francesco Moretti stood in the villa's wine cellar, his massive frame casting long shadows in the dim light.At six-foot-four and built like a tank, he had earned his fourth-ranked position through sheer brutality and unwavering loyalty to Marco.Tonight, he intended to prove to his superiors that he deserved to be counted among the elite."Bring her down here," Francesco commanded his two subordinates, both lower-ranked guards eager to curry favor with their superior.Maria struggled against their grip as they dragged her down the stone steps, her eyes wide with terror."Please, what do you want with me? I haven't done anything wrong!""Shut up, bitch," snarled Giuseppe, one of Francesco's lackeys."You'll find out soon enough.""Yeah, keep your mouth closed unless you want us to find other uses for it," added Vincenzo, the other guard, his laughter echoing off the cellar walls.Francesco grabbed Maria by the throat, his massive hand nearly encircling her neck entirely.
