When the cars were full and ready, we pulled out of the driveway.
My back was stiff as we rode to the Abandonato estate. When the car finally stopped, I stepped out and took a deep breath.
Alberto’s men came running out, guns in their hands. I chuckled and shook my head.
“If you value your lives, I suggest you put your guns away,” I said lightly, moving forward.
My men were surrounded by Alberto’s men, but it didn’t scare us. In fact, his men should be cowering in fear. After all, I had their boss.
I could already see the fear in their eyes, but they weren’t cowering yet. No problem, though. They would be kneeling in front of me in no time.
“Bring him out,” I ordered Viktor. He nodded and opened the car, pulling Alberto out.
They cocked their guns at me, and I tsked at them in return. “You don’t want to do this.”
Their eyes widened at the sight of their boss. There were gasps. Some paled. Some stood back, and others froze in shock.
I loved the look of fear in their faces. But I would love the look of surrender more.
Nikolay pushed Enzo down in front of me. I controlled their lives. There was no escape. I just won this bloody game.
“Viktor, I think these men are deaf,” I drawled. “Can you do something about it?”
A shot rang out in the courtyard. A man fell down…dead.
Before they could retaliate, Nikolay, Phoenix, and Viktor already had ten men shot down. I stood back, watching the scene in front of me.
“Stand down and no more lives will be lost,” Viktor growled. “Not that I mind killing all of you. But it’s for your own good.”
They slowly put their guns away, and I raised an eyebrow. That was easy.
All of them were a bunch of pussies. Weak. Cowards.
Shaking my head in disgust, I stepped forward. I gripped Alberto’s hair and snapped his head up. “There is no point if you shoot at me. The war is over. Alberto is in my hands, practically dead.”
I raised my head and leveled each and every one of his men with a hard glare. “So I suggest you stand back and enjoy the show.”
I kept my unwavering eyes on them as I continued. “Whether you like it or not, I am taking over as your boss. It doesn’t matter if you agree with me. If you disagree, you will take your last breath. It’s simple. You shut up and watch what I am about to do.”
More of my men spilled out of the cars, flanking my sides. Viktor and Nikolay stood in front of me.
“Phoenix, bring Artur out,” I demanded.
Releasing Alberto, I walked over to Enzo. I saw a few of Alberto’s men taking protective steps forward. But with my men’s guns pointed in their direction, they stopped.
I took my gun out and pointed it at Enzo’s forehead. “I’m about to show you what happens when you side with the wrong people. You should learn from this.”
Nikolay handed me a clear bag. I raised it up for everyone to see. Several men took a step back. Enzo’s severed dick was in it. I threw the bag on the ground next to their feet.
Their shocked gaze moved to it before staring at me again. “This is what happens when you choose the wrong side.”
My finger pressed against the trigger. A shot rang out, and I smiled. Enzo fell at my feet, his eyes open, staring at me lifelessly. One man down.
The driveway was silent as I kicked Enzo’s body away.
Keeping my eyes on Alberto’s men, I walked to Artur. Phoenix handed me the bag with Artur’s tongue in it. For everyone to see, I threw that on the ground too.
This time, I pointed the muzzle of my gun to Artur’s neck. He swallowed. After giving me a final look, he closed his eyes. He didn’t have any fight left.
My gaze moved to the crowd. “And that’s what happens when you betray me.”
Another shot. Artur’s limp body fell to the ground. Blood splattered on my suit as I stepped away.
“Lesson number one. Never betray me. You won’t like the consequences,” I growled loudly for everyone to hear.
I made my way to Alberto. His whole body was shaking. He tried to fight me, but he was too weak.
Gripping Alberto by the hair, I pulled him up. He stood on trembling legs. “How does it feel? Having your men watch your demise? You have no honor. No power. You have nothing left.”
My words were low for only him to hear. His choked on his own blood, his body falling limply forward. “And in a few minutes, you will be nothing but a corpse,” I finished, spitting in his face. Alberto flinched, and I could hear the angry rumble from his men.
But nobody made a move to come save their boss.
