Chapter 8 - The Shadow from the Smoke
Before Vance could touch Diana, William Castellano burst through the broken drywall like an unstoppable force, his black suit covered in concrete dust, blood running from a small cut on his temple, but his dark eyes burning with unyielding, lethal fury.
William grabbed Vance’s extended arm, twisting it backward with a terrifying crack that echoed through the small room, forcing the mercenary boss to his knees in agony.
"I told you," William spoke, his voice dropping into an icy, terrifying whisper, "nobody touches my daughter."
William disarmed Vance in one swift motion, slamming him against the reinforced concrete wall as Marco and federal tactical units—summoned using the microdrive’s emergency signal—swarmed into the estate grounds, securing every remaining mercenary outside.
Federal Agent Sarah Miller stepped into the safe room with her weapon drawn, her eyes wide as she saw the mountain of evidence and the neutralized syndicate leader.
"William Castellano," Agent Miller said, looking at the tablet displaying District Attorney Hayes’ corruption records. "You just dismantled the largest trafficking ring in the state."
