Chapter 20
At midnight, while the rest of the mansion was locked in a peaceful, heavily guarded sleep, Ryan descended into the subterranean bunker hidden deep beneath the estate.

This was the stronghold where the remnants of the Falcone family were gathering their strength, waiting for him to answer their sick, arrogant challenge.

The legend of the ruthless kingpin wasn't ending; it was entering its most brutal chapter yet.
