Chapter 81 - the unseen venom
Fifteen years of absolute serenity had transformed the Pascale medical foundation into an invincible global empire. Ivy, now a brilliant thirty-five-year-old woman, ruled the charitable conglomerate with absolute grace. Her son, Leo, had grown into a sharp, resilient fifteen-year-old, possessing Dante’s intense eyes.
Dante and Elena lived peacefully at the countryside estate, surrounded by the loyal presence of a massive black cane corso named Titan, Argo's direct descendant. However, absolute peace is a fragile illusion in a world built on power.
A highly secretive, ruthless European syndicate known as the Crimson Hand quietly emerged from the shadows. They despised the Pascale family's control over the eastern shipping ports and wanted to weaponize the charity's logistics network for international smuggling.
