Marco entered the conservatory, holding a formal wax-sealed envelope bearing the emblem of the International Crime Council.
"Boss, the Council elders have called an emergency summit in Venice," Marco reported quietly. "They are demanding to know why you wiped out the Rossi family without prior Council approval."
Lorenzo’s expression hardened back into the formidable demeanor of a syndicate chief. "They think I breached the peace treaty."
Clara walked over, setting the tea tray down, her eyes filled with concern. "Will they challenge your leadership, Lorenzo?"
