When papa thunderous voice came echoing and vibrating all the way up to the upper floor Ziya firmly grabbed Leo by his hand and began walking him slowly downstairs Descending the grand steps one by one Leo ran his fingers gently over the fresh dark bruises around his neck The brutal chokehold papa had delivered earlier had severely wounded his massive ego But the moment Leo and Ziya stepped foot into the wide expanse of the grand hall they froze completely in absolute shock
The lifeless broken body of the foreign international mafia lord whom Leo had mercilessly strangled and dropped onto the floor mere minutes ago was completely gone Not a single trace of the dark bloodstains remained on the polished marble floor and not a single shred of evidence pointing to a horrific execution was left behind The entire hall which was filled with the terrifying atmosphere of death just moments before was now shining brilliantly and sitting in an eerie supreme calm As if absolutely nothing had happened inside those walls within a matter of minutes Sandro Escobar invisible shadow network of clean up operatives had executed their task with absolute clinical perfection A sudden jolt of shock hit the depths of Leo eyes but true to his unstable nature he masked his expression instantly suppressing the shock and keeping his psycho face locked tight He was fully realizing the staggering magnitude of the power and the flawless system controlled by the mafia emperor Sandro Escobar
Sandro was sitting right in the center of the grand hall blowing thick grey smoke into the air The fully signed contract documents were stacked neatly on the mahogany table in front of him He turned his cold gaze toward Ziya and spoke with extreme gravity
"Ziya it is time we show him our Golden Business Let him also witness and comprehend how these operations are run from the inside"
Then Sandro turned his piercing eyes directly onto Leo face and slowly releasing a cloud of smoke from his lips he pointed a warning finger straight at his son
"And you need to be extremely careful Leo The eyes of Lucifer are officially fixed all around you right now I know every single pathetic game you are playing out there on the streets You cannot execute a single thing in this territory by evading my eyes But etch this one thing deep into your memory if your madness and reckless impulsiveness breach the limits I will not hesitate for a fraction of a second to put a bullet through you myself I will have absolutely no remorse"
Despite hearing his father explicit death threat the raging psycho inside Leo refused to back down He stood there looking at papa with a mocking deceitful grin and as the smirk formed on his lips he slowly muttered inside his own mind
'Go mind your own business you old piece of garbage Your era is long gone My hands alone are more than enough to end you old fool Hmm Stupid'
But Sandro Escobar was absolutely no ordinary old man He was a legendary bloodthirsty titan who had built an entire global empire with mountains of corpses and oceans of blood Witnessing the microscopic muscle twitch on Leo face and the subtle mockery flashing in his eyes Sandro read his son internal thoughts with absolute precision A sinister villainous smile spread across the old man lips as Sandro turned back to Ziya face and spoke
"Hmm Ziya his reckless arrogance is heavily overflowing What you uncovered is absolute reality This boy is standing here aiming for some massive personal victory by keeping all of us completely in the dark Mark my words Leo you will never be capable of killing me Do not bring that garbage attitude in front of my face Just focus on doing exactly what I commanded you to do do you understand"
"Yes papa"
The very microsecond the words were uttered Sandro suddenly locked his eyes onto Leo face without blinking staring deep into his skull with an intense ego that seemed to pierce his very soul The Silent War
On one side stood a hall where a fresh corpse had completely vanished on the other side stood an arrogant psychotic son facing a highly strategic tactical father who anticipated every single move in advance
The intense warfare of glares flashing between the father and the son sent invisible sparks flying through the hall Sandro expression clearly showed he held the keys to every single covert move Leo was plotting Leo on the other hand stood there calculating the next massive move he needed to engineer inside his brain to counter his father absolute dominance
Under the crushing weight of Sandro Escobar gaze Leo slowly averted his eyes The realization that his father had flawlessly decoded his innermost thoughts did not trigger any fear of failure inside him instead it doubled the burning adrenaline of vengeance in his veins
Witnessing the rising tension Ziya felt a slight wave of anxiety but grabbing Leo firmly by his hand she pulled him backward and walked forward to fulfill the promise given to her father
"Enough is enough Come on Leo we have absolutely no time to waste"
The moment Ziya and Leo stepped outside the mansion into the night the security lights were flickering sharply through the rain and it was exactly then papa luxury vehicle came rolling into the grand porch of the bungalow Stepping out of the rear seat with immense majesty and grandeur was none other than their mother The absolute supreme high command of the estate who held even the underworld emperor Sandro Escobar completely at her fingertips Seeing the two of them together mother narrowed her eyes crossed her arms tightly and questioned
"Aha where are the two of you heading together at this hour of the night"
Ziya answered quickly stammering with nervousness
"Mom we we are just heading over to the corporate office for a moment"
But mother sharp eyes bypassed Ziya entirely and locked straight onto Leo face Stalking forward she walked directly up to Leo who was standing tense his muscles tight with volatile rage and vengeance after papa brutal assault She reached out and grabbed the face of the psychotic monster whom the entire international underworld feared with both her hands and spoke with deep maternal sorrow
"Oh my god my child has turned completely weary Are you not consuming any food at all boy You have thinned down entirely son"
Leo face instantly transformed into that of a vulnerable little child all the deep psychotic savagery entirely evaporating from his expression under his mother warm touch Mother looked down at the dark heavy tattoos covering Leo neck and arms and crinkled her nose in absolute disgust
"And Leo you are going to get these hideous tattoos removed first thing tomorrow morning do you hear me Just splashing random black ink all over your body for no reason"
Hearing this Ziya could not restrain her laughter for a single second Seeing the monster who had just challenged papa authority standing there looking like a helpless defenseless puppy in front of mom she covered her mouth with both hands giggling Leo gently pushed his mother hands away from his face looking thoroughly embarrassed and humiliated as Ziya intervened to rescue him from mom
"Mom that is enough"
Mother turned sharply toward Ziya instantly
"Hmm who the hell are you to tell me when it is enough"
She then turned her attention right back onto Leo
"Have you still not managed to break free from her shadow boy You heard exactly what I said you get those tattoos removed tomorrow or I will come into your room at night with a sharp knife and cut them out of your skin myself I am telling you"
Hearing his mother absolute raw local threat Leo stood completely paralyzed not knowing how to react or what to do next He slowly slipped his hand into his tailored pocket Facing lethal enemies who hunted for his life Leo would instantly draw a heavy firearm but what he pulled out in front of his mother was something entirely unexpected He placed an incredibly beautiful glittering designer earring right into his mother palms Witnessing this Ziya eyes bulged out completely in utter bewilderment as she stood there frozen thinking to herself
'When the hell did he purchase this earring Whose asset is this'
She looked back and forth between her mother and Leo in absolute marvel
The exact moment her eyes fell upon the exquisite earring all the burning anger vanished from mother face melting away like pure ice Mother looked up at Leo with absolute joy and Leo did not hesitate for a single second He grabbed his mother lifted her clean off the ground swinging her around in the air once before gently setting her back down on her feet It was exactly at that moment that mother caught a clear view of Leo neck under the porch lights The dark distinct handprints left behind by papa choking grip were fully visible along with the other minor lacerations Mother turned her gaze to Ziya and questioned sharply
"Hey what the hell are all these bruises and marks all over his face and neck Have you started applying cheap makeup on him too What an absolute disaster of a look is this Fine fine the two of you get going to the office right now Make sure to return fast I will prepare a special dinner for you boys"
As mother turned and walked inside the mansion Leo cast a sideways glance at Ziya a mixture of absolute relief and mockery flashing in his eyes over mom calling his strangulation marks makeup
The very moment mother stepped indoors Leo and Ziya climbed into the luxury vehicle and the driver fired up the engine speeding the car forward out of the gates
Once the car traveled a safe distance down the dark highway Ziya turned to Leo face and questioned with deep hesitation
"Seriously Leo where the hell did you secure that earring Whose property is that"
Leo brought a cold sinister smile onto his lips and spoken in a low tone
"Oh that belongs to Lexi whom I slaughtered today I handed it over to mom as a beautiful gift"
Ziya sat completely petrified hearing his words she questioned further
"Hmm then where exactly did you smash her face and put an end to that girl Lexi"
Leo turned his head slowly staring at Ziya with an immensely brutal expression an absolute chill of death freezing his gaze as he spoken
"On my way back inside the vehicle near our small local market there is a commercial fish processing factory right I dragged her down onto the floor there and stomped her continuously into a bloody pulp Then using our heavy iron weapon I repeatedly smashed her skull and completely obliterated her face breaking every single bone in her body She will never return to life alive I finished her permanently With her added to the count my official list has reached sixteen individuals now"
But Ziya did not fall for Leo dramatic psychotic performance for a single second She locked her eyes onto his face with extreme gravity and spoken with absolute seriousness
"Leo I need to communicate something highly critical to you right now I was the one who initially introduced you to Lexi She operates with far more power than we do You might have successfully executed her father but that only happened because they placed their absolute trust in you You simply exploited that trust to eliminate her so do not deceive your ego into thinking you achieved some legendary feat Do you honestly comprehend who she truly is She is the sole individual who single handedly controlled mafia operations across twelve different countries There was absolutely nobody capable of bypassing her in the syndicate and those who attempted were completely neutralized I have known her since our childhood days I know every single combat tactic and survival method she has mastered Are you absolutely certain she is a corpse Are you that damn sure"
Hearing Ziya words the massive ego inside Leo boiled over in an instant fury
"Yes sister she is dead I did not even leave her face recognizable I shattered her bones to pieces"
Suddenly Leo entire demeanor shifted violently a wave of absolute madness rushing into his eyes He turned onto Ziya roaring in absolute rage
"What the hell woman do you hold some personal commitment toward her Are you trying to intimidate me by showcasing the power of a dead girl you bitch"
Saying that Leo lunged forward without a single thought and clamped his hand violently onto Ziya throat squeezing her neck with immense ego But Ziya was absolutely no ordinary defenseless woman the microsecond Leo gripped her throat Ziya showed zero fear and instantly wrapped her hand around Leo wrist twisting it with brutal force as she stared back at him with pure unadulterated savagery Sitting in the front seats of the speeding car were the driver and the high ranking boss of their global gold syndicate Witnessing this sudden outbreak of internal violence inside the cabin the two men shook with absolute terror completely paralyzed not knowing how to intervene The gold syndicate boss himself was entirely frightened witnessing Ziya raw expression Ziya maintained an incredibly powerful crushing counter grip on Leo hand while Leo refused to release his hold and in their intense physical struggle the heavy luxury vehicle shook violently on the road Suddenly Ziya locked her piercing eyes onto Leo face and commanded in an authoritative tone
"Listen to what I am saying you ungrateful bastard"
The sheer power echoing in her voice and the dominance in her gaze forced Leo to turn calm instantly all the madness inside him cooling down in a single fraction of a second as he slowly withdrew his hand
Ziya settled back comfortably into her leather seat and looking straight at Leo she began to speak
"Leo I am not speaking to diminish your caliber She is a woman who has pulled herself back alive from the absolute jaws of death multiple times Let me recount just a single incident from our past When the two of us traveled to a specific nation together a massive high caliber shootout erupted there She drew a uniquely modified custom firearm she designed herself and started returning fire relentlessly dropping multiple enemies dead in the dirt During that chaotic exchange she was shot multiple times sustaining heavy bullet wounds to her arm her hip her right leg and her shoulder Keeping those bleeding critical injuries active she continuously slaughtered every single gunman in the perimeter and finally when her custom weapon ran out of ammunition she snatched a sniper rifle from a dead soldier corpse and systematically executed the remaining targets all while multiple bullets were continuously piercing her body When the smoke cleared and she walked right back in front of my eyes drenched entirely in a pool of blood the entire sector was blown to absolute ruins but her face did not showcase a single trace of fear or a single symptom of physical agony Afterward I personally attempted to orchestrate her assassination secretly multiple times but I quickly realized it was an impossible task Fear simply did not exist inside her subconscious mind and that specific realization made me think deeply That is precisely why I demanded an confirmation if she is truly dead We spent ten long years designing this massive plot just to eliminate her permanently right"
The absolute reality behind Ziya words finally registered deep inside Leo mind his psychotic arrogance slowly faded away and he gently reached out taking Ziya hand Leaning his head against her shoulder he spoken with deep genuine remorse
"I am sorry sister I was completely unaware she carried such a massive background execution record But she is dead and gone sister nobody needs to worry or feel distressed over it anymore Not a single speck or a single trace of her existence will ever walk this earth again She is no more"
Ziya gently stroked his head and spoken in a low voice
"I know that Leo"
The luxury vehicle continued to speed forward toward its secret destination
The scene cuts sharply right there
Meanwhile at the exact same hour in another highly secured corner of the metropolitan city the dark night was cloaking the heavily fortified military hospital
Inside a top secret high security ICU room Lexi whose head and face had been completely obliterated and left for dead by Leo was fighting a catastrophic battle against demise amidst the rhythmic life support sounds of advanced medical machinery only a microscopic thread of breath remained active inside her chest Even the elite surgeons had completely abandoned all hope of survival as the medical monitors continuously emitted rapid panicking beeps to sustain the fading spark of life Suddenly an operative rushed into the room walked straight up to Marco and announced
"Sir Lexi"
Marco turned his cold face and questioned only one thing
"What happened"
