Chapter 6 - The Phantom in the Mansion
"This passage branches three ways, Don Dante," Beatrice whispered, pointing down the narrow stone corridor. "The left path leads behind the living room pillars. The right path leads straight above the study ceiling rafters."
Dante nodded slowly. "Stay here with Camila. Do not come out until you hear my voice."
Camila reached out, her soft fingers brushing against Dante’s dark navy suit jacket. "Please... be careful, Dante. Leo has eight men inside."
"Leo has eight dead men inside," Dante corrected coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.
Dante moved down the left passage like a ghost, his footfalls silent on the concrete subfloor. Through the secondary observation grates placed behind the living room wall pillars, he counted the tactical mercenaries. Four men were sweeping the dining hall, two were guarding the main entrance archway, and two were stationed in the study with Leo.
Reaching a hidden outlet behind a velvet curtain in the dining room, Dante slid the panel open three inches.
The two mercenaries in the dining room walked past with their weapons raised, their backs completely turned to the wall.

Dante stepped out from behind the curtain like a shadow. Two silent shots echoed softly in the room—thwip, thwip. Before the bodies even hit the hardwood floor, Dante had caught them by their tactical vests, lowering them silently to the ground without making a sound.
