We are the PURGE COLLECTIVE. We've been watching your... performance. Impressive. Efficient. But incomplete."The figure gestured to the explosions behind them."You eliminated seventeen families. Destroyed three more. But you left the infrastructure intact. The systems that enabled them. The networks they built. The corruption they spread.""We don't share your restraint."The figure pulled out a detonator."In the next sixty seconds, we will eliminate every Iron Syndicate stronghold in this city.

The Crown Bearer provided that moment."She forced Dominic to his knees beside Gregory and Richard.All three "hidden power" patriarchs on the ground. All three destroyed in less than five minutes.Elias walked toward them slowly, each footstep echoing in the suddenly silent room."You came here," Elias said quietly, "thinking you were hidden threats I didn't know existed.
