Chapter 211
The abandoned pier at midnight was exactly the kind of clichéd meeting spot that screamed "trap" to anyone with half a brain. Yemin arrived with Lorenzo Junior, who was still trembling and reeking of fear and urine from their warehouse encounter."Please," Lorenzo Junior whimpered as they walked toward the designated meeting point. "My father will give you whatever you want. Just don't hurt me.""Shut up," Yemin said calmly, scanning the shadows around the pier.Suddenly, bright floodlights blazed to life from multiple directions, and the sound of car doors slamming echoed through the night air. At least twenty police officers emerged from their hiding spots, weapons drawn and pointed directly at Yemin."This is the police! Drop to the ground immediately!" shouted a burly police captain with graying hair.Lorenzo Senior stepped out from behind one of the police cars, a smug grin plastered across his weathered face. He was older than his son, with silver hair and the kind of cold eyes
Chapter 210
Yemin stared at Lorenzo cowering against the warehouse wall, and a cold realization washed over him. He had been dealing with the Sphinx for months now – Joseph Ultra, Marco Benedetti, Vincenzo Torrino, Isabella Torrino-Ricci – and while they were all wicked, tricky, and evil, they had never been naive and stupid.But this pathetic heir trembling before him? Lorenzo clearly didn't know his left from his right when it came to real power or strategy."You know what?" Yemin said, his voice taking on a dangerous edge. "Something's very wrong here.""What... what do you mean?" Lorenzo stammered, pressed against the concrete wall."I've been hunting Sphinx members for months," Yemin continued, his eyes narrowing. "They're cunning, ruthless, calculating. But you? You're just a spoiled brat who throws money around."Lorenzo's face went even paler. "I don't know what you're talking about!""The hell you don't," Yemin snapped, stepping closer. "You're not really Lorenzo Romano, are you? At leas
CHAPTER 209 PART 2
One by one, the thugs approached Yemin to collect their money. Lorenzo watched in horror as his entire hired army abandoned him for a better offer."You're all making a huge mistake!" Lorenzo screamed. "The Romano family will remember this!""No offense, boss," one of the departing thugs called over his shoulder, "but fifty grand buys a lot of forgetting."Within minutes, the warehouse was nearly empty except for Lorenzo, Yemin, and one remaining figure – Lorenzo's personal bodyguard, a massive man named Bruno who had been silent throughout the exchange."Bruno!" Lorenzo said desperately. "At least you're still loyal, right?"Bruno stepped forward, slowly removing his shirt to reveal a physique that looked like it had been carved from granite. His muscles bulged and rippled as he flexed, and his eyes held the cold confidence of a professional fighter."I heard you were supposed to be some kind of great fighter," Bruno said to Yemin, his voice deep and gravelly. "But you're no match fo
CHAPTER 209 PART 1
The abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city was dimly lit by a few hanging bulbs, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. Lorenzo Romano stood in the center of the space, surrounded by fifteen muscular men in dark clothing – thugs he had hired from the city's underground.Lorenzo paced back and forth like a caged animal, his expensive suit wrinkled and his hair disheveled from stress. The humiliation at the casino had eaten away at him all night, and now he was ready for revenge."That cocky bastard thinks he can embarrass me and just walk away," Lorenzo snarled to his hired muscle. "Well, he's about to learn what happens when you mess with a Romano."One of the thugs, a scarred man with gold teeth, grinned menacingly. "Don't worry, boss. We'll make sure he never forgets this lesson.""I want him broken," Lorenzo continued, his voice rising with anger. "I want him begging for mercy. And then I want my money back – every last cent."The warehouse door creaked open, and
CHAPTER 208 PART 2
Sofia watched in growing amazement as Yemin dominated the game. The man she had dismissed as a poor fighter was displaying a level of skill and sophistication that left her breathless."How is he doing this?" she whispered to herself, her heart beginning to race.By the sixth hand, Lorenzo was sweating profusely, his earlier bravado completely evaporated. "This isn't over yet," he said desperately. "I can still come back.""Can you?" Yemin replied, pushing his chips forward. "All in."Lorenzo stared at his cards, then at the massive pile of chips, then back at his cards. With shaking hands, he called the bet.When the cards were revealed, the room fell silent. Yemin had won decisively."No," Lorenzo breathed. "No, this can't be happening."The casino manager began the formal process of transferring the funds. "Congratulations, Mr. Morgan. The two hundred and fifty million dollars is now yours."Sofia stared at Yemin with new eyes, her heart pounding. She had been so wrong about him, s
CHAPTER 208 PART 1
The private investigator Katherine had hired sat in his unmarked sedan, watching through binoculars as Yemin stepped out of his Aston Martin at the entrance of the Emerald Palace Casino.The P.I. quickly grabbed his camera and began snapping photos."Well, I'll be damned," he muttered to himself. "Guy's going to the most exclusive casino in the city."At the imposing entrance of the Emerald Palace, Yemin approached the doorman with complete confidence. The casino's facade was all gold and crystal, with security guards in tailored suits standing at attention."Good evening, sir," the doorman said with professional courtesy. "Do you have your membership credentials?"Without hesitation, Yemin reached into his wallet and produced a sleek black card that seemed to shimmer under the lights. "I'd like to purchase a premium membership."The doorman's eyes widened as he examined the Black Platinum card. "Of course, sir. Right this way."The P.I. continued photographing from his car, his confu
