Chapter 16 - the hidden ledger
With Victor dead, Domenico ordered his men to secure the warehouse.
While searching Victor’s hidden safe, Domenico discovered something far more valuable than cash or weapons.
It was a small, heavily encrypted digital drive. When his cyber-security team cracked the password, Domenico was absolutely stunned.
The drive contained a massive, highly detailed ledger. It listed every single corrupt politician, dirty judge, and rival boss who had secretly colluded with Victor over the last decade.
But what truly shocked Domenico was the encrypted signature at the bottom of the files.
Antonio had compiled this intelligence years ago. This was the exact leverage Victor had murdered him for. Antonio had hidden a digital copy, knowing Victor would eventually come looking for it.
Domenico smiled, a profound, immense pride swelling in his chest. Even from the grave, his brilliant older brother had provided the ultimate weapon.
With this ledger, Domenico possessed absolute, unchecked power over the entire criminal underworld and the city's political elite.
