Through the car speakers Ziya panicked screams kept echoing over and over again into the dark cabin
"Leo Leo say something damn it"
Up above the thunderous roar of the combat helicopter was still circling heavily in the stormy atmosphere but after a few tense moments the chopper tilted sharply and began to move away into the distance Yet right before disappearing into the sheets of rain Marco standing at the open door of the helicopter looked down at Leo and made a cold calculated gesture with his hand It was a silent chilling sign signaling that Leo absolute downfall had officially begun
Looking through the completely shattered windscreen Leo stared at the retreating helicopter and laughed like a shifting psychopath within mere moments the surrounding foreign luxury cars and the heavy combat helicopter vanished entirely into the dark rain swept night as if they were never there
Leo slowly wiped the warm blood from his forehead The flying glass shards had only caused a minor laceration and looking at the red stains on his fingers a brutal sinister smile bloomed across his face
Ziya frantic screams were still blaring through the audio system
"Are you hurt Leo did something happen to you"
"Hmm he just announced his grand arrival I will catch him" Leo muttered with dark determination
Through the phone line Ziya replied in absolute furious rage
"Leo do not take him lightly as a nobody Get your ass back home immediately"
Before Leo could even reach the estate Ziya rushed straight into the grand hall to inform her father Downstairs in the massive hall room her father was in the middle of a high stakes global business syndicate meeting Thirteen elite mafia kingpins representing powerful syndicates from various nations were seated around the table as Ziya burst in frantically breathing heavily
"Papa Papa Leo was just ambushed by Marco He completely shattered Leo car windscreen Leo is physically fine but Marco is orchestrating something massive Papa"
The very microsecond he heard that Marco had returned Sandro face turned completely pale with gripping terror before flushing red with sheer panic Ziya stood there utterly stunned witnessing her father expression For the first time in her entire life she saw raw mortal fear paralyzing the man and that was exactly when she spoke to Leo over the line earlier
"You heard what I said right Leo There are countless dark histories you know absolutely nothing about What Marco father Leonardo Sforza did in the old days was beyond brutal and merciless You get here right now"
Seated around the grand hall room the thirteen mafia lords grew highly suspicious watching the intense fear visibly shaking Ziya father One of the prominent international mafia businessmen slowly stood up from his chair and demanded a confirmation
"Sir is it true that the son of Leonardo Sforza has come back out of the shadows"
He immediately turned to his top intelligence asset standing behind him
"Confirm right now if what Ziya said is accurate Do it fast"
Every single person inside the hall sat completely frozen staring at the man After making a flurry of urgent coded phone calls the spy rushed back into the room his voice shaking
"Yes Sir what Ziya said is absolute reality He is back The latest intelligence just spread that he went directly after Leo right now Nobody knows what his ultimate objective is or why he chose to resurface at this exact moment"
Listening to this intense exchange Ziya was standing high up at the top of the grand sweeping staircase of the mansion Suddenly the chief mafia lord who had questioned earlier stood up abruptly and declared
"Apologies Sir we cannot sign this multi billion dollar contract under these circumstances Everyone knows what Marco father was capable of and his son is rumored to be an even greater monster We are leaving right now Let us go"
The exact second they refused to sign and began to step away from the table the massive double doors of the grand hall were violently slammed open and Leo walked straight into the room He did not say a single word to anyone but his heavy terrifying psychotic gaze locked directly onto the face of the international mafia kingpin who was attempting to walk out The foreign cartel leader stood paralyzed staring back at Leo in intense fear as Leo slowly stalked toward him
"Leo step aside from our way" the man stammered
Leo simply looked at him with that eerie signature psycho smile and delivered a single cold line
"Go to hell bitch"
The very moment the words left his mouth right in front of the remaining twelve terrified mafia bosses and their bodyguards Leo lunged forward and gripped the man throat with his monstrously powerful hands Choking violently the cartel leader thrashed around desperately for air but Leo showing absolutely no mercy used his raw physical power to snap and crush the man neck killing him on the spot The remaining twelve mafia kingpins shook and trembled in absolute horror witnessing Leo unbridled sadism and that was precisely when Ziya began slowly descending the grand stairs
Leo swept his highly suspicious scanning eyes all around the massive hall searching for the presence of his mother and he locked his gaze onto Ziya face searching for an answer Reading his intent Ziya slowly nodded her head
"No mom is out of the country at the moment"
The remaining foreign businessmen in the room falsely assumed that Ziya would step in to restrain Leo thinking she had rushed downstairs to pull her brother away from this madness but what happened next caught them completely off guard Ziya face flushed red with unadulterated fury as she locked her eyes onto Leo and barked fiercely
"Leo is this how you finish a man who dared to breach our house so easily Not just him not a single soul sitting in this room leaves this mansion alive"
She then turned her sharp gaze to the armed guards and commanded in a terrifying cold voice
"Kill them all Leo"
The absolute moment Ziya screamed that command a freezing wave of death spread across the entire hall Leo stood perfectly poised ready to slaughter everyone in the room while the personal elite bodyguards instantly raised and chambered their weapons with loud synchronized metallic clicks
"Click Click Click"
The twelve international mafia bosses panicked completely screaming for their lives as they scrambled out of their chairs paralyzed with fear Looking at his children about to plunge the room into a bloodbath Sandro face went entirely pale and then red with panic Realizing that his son and daughter might completely burn this entire empire to the ground papa stood there shaking violently
But for a single microscopic second papa closed his eyes and the blood drenched memories of the ruthless mafia underworld he used to rule thirty years ago came rushing back into his subconscious mind Slowly papa opened his eyes and the gripping fear that once clouded his face was entirely gone replaced by a blazing terrifying spark of absolute cruelty Realizing that there was no way to restrain the raw violence of his children the true sleeping psycho don inside Sandro was fully awakened at that exact moment
Papa real name was Sandro Escobar
"Stop it"
Sandro Escobar thunderous roar vibrated through the massive hall completely shaking the foundations of the room Leo froze in his tracks for a brief second looking directly into his father face Sandro turning highly composed and dead calm commanded Ziya with absolute authority
"Ziya take him and get inside right now"
But Leo was in absolutely no mood to listen to orders Shaking with volatile rage Leo marched straight up to his father and locked his intense psycho glare directly into papa eyes Sandro instantly realized that the untamed savagery inside Leo was stepping up to challenge his own authority
Papa spoke with an eerie stone cold calmness
"Hmm Leo you do not get to determine the hour of my demise I decide that myself Now get your ass inside"
The moment Leo heard this he completely lost all control and lunged forward attempting to rip the custom firearm straight out of his father waistband But with lightning fast reflexes Sandro hands moved in a blinding blur Anticipating Leo exact physical trajectory Sandro slammed his hand over the trigger guard snatched the weapon away and secured it in his own grip effortlessly The twelve foreign mafia lords and the elite bodyguards stood completely dumbfounded witnessing this unbelievable display of speed and martial dominance
As Leo swung his massive fist to strike back the ancient sleeping beast inside Sandro Escobar woke up completely Sandro intercepted Leo powerful punch in mid air with his left hand deflecting the impact entirely and in the very next microsecond giving Leo absolutely no window to react Sandro right hand shot forward like a viper clamping onto Leo neck with brutal force Using his immense physical strength papa slammed Leo hard against the massive marble pillar of the hall Leo thrashed around desperately suffocating under the iron grip of his father his face turning entirely crimson as his eyes bulged out from the pressure The old wound on his forehead ruptured once again sending a fresh stream of dark blood trickling down his face Ziya herself took a panicked step backward witnessing the raw power of her father Absolutely nobody in the room dared to move
Sandro brought his face inches away from Leo staring down at him with an immense suffocating ego In those eyes Leo saw a brand of terrifying primitive cruelty that he had never witnessed in his father before Sandro whispered in a low gravelly voice meant only for Leo ears
"Do you honestly think snapping one man neck makes you a powerful don boy At your exact age I used to do this purely for amusement If you ever dare to bring your pathetic psycho games in front of me again I will end your life right where you stand Take him away Ziya"
With a single powerful shove Sandro callously hurled Leo onto the hard floor below Collapsing heavily Leo clutched his bruised neck coughing violently as he looked up at his father in pure paralyzing terror Through his father absolute dominant body language Leo finally realized that the apex lion known as Sandro Escobar had officially returned All the cocky psychotic arrogance completely evaporated from Leo eyes replaced for the very first time in his life by the cold fear of death The true terrifying form of the legendary blood soaked Sandro Escobar was standing right before him and his word was now the absolute law in that hall
Ziya looked back and forth between her father and Leo in complete shock Realizing she had absolutely no choice but to obey papa explicit command she slowly stepped forward gripped Leo hand to pull him up from the floor and dragged him up the grand staircase heading straight for the upper level rooms of the estate
The grand hall below was left in a graveyard silence
Sandro Escobar calmly adjusted the buttons of his tailored coat not even casting a single glance at the dead body of the mafia lord Leo had slaughtered Instead he turned his cold merciless eyes directly toward the remaining twelve foreign syndicate leaders who were shaking in fear
He slowly walked over to the heavy mahogany conference table where the contract documents were resting Sandro picked up a sleek pen tossed it onto the table and spoke to them with chilling finality
"Marco did not return to hunt down you fools He came for my life If you walk out of this mansion without putting your signatures on these deeds out of fear for him I will ensure none of you leave this country alive Sign it NOW Or I will have every single one of you hacked to pieces packed into crates and shipped back to your families"
The sheer gravity of Escobar single dialogue doubled the suffocating tension inside the room Realizing that signing the pact was their only shot at staying alive the twelve mafia kingpins had absolutely no other alternative
Their hands shook violently with uncontrollable fear as they reached for the pen Not even daring to lock eyes with one another they began signing the contract documents in rapid succession The absolute signatures of foreign empires falling completely flat at the feet of Sandro Escobar
While silence gripped the hall downstairs Ziya shoved Leo into their highly secured private war room upstairs Slamming the heavy door shut Leo collapsed heavily onto the leather sofa the dark bruised handprints of Sandro fingers turning visible around his throat
"Papa" Leo muttered under his breath in a hushed cracked whisper It was the most devastating blow his psychotic pride had ever received
Ziya stood right in front of him crossing her arms her initial panic completely gone replaced by a stark deadly seriousness She looked straight into Leo eyes and said
"Do you finally comprehend reality now Leo We are not playing games with local street thugs Marco father Leonardo Sforza used to skin people alive on the streets of Rome back in the day and there are far darker histories than that Leonardo Sforza was our father biological brother which makes Marco our own blood brother Papa is the only man capable of neutralizing him but before that ever happens Marco is targeting you as his primary target"
Hearing Ziya words Leo bolted upright from the sofa in absolute shock his eyes bulging out with sheer bewilderment and rising fury
His voice faltered heavily
"L Leo What what the hell are you talking about What kind of absolute nonsense is this Ziya What are you saying Leonardo Sforza was our papa brother Then that means Marco is our"
Ziya grabbed him firmly by the shoulders cutting him off
"Yes Leo Marco is our own flesh and blood He is your first cousin"
Leo mind spun into complete chaos unable to process the weight of the revelation a storm of unanswered questions swirled inside his head
"Then why the hell does he use the name Sforza Ziya Papa name is Sandro Escobar right"
Ziya walked over to the massive glass window staring out into the torrential rain pouring over the estate as she finally unleashed the absolute hidden truth
"To ensure nobody could ever track their lineage papa and Leonardo orchestrated a brilliant plan to alter their identities decades ago In absolute reality Marco father real name was Leonardo Escobar He was the rightful co owner of the entire Escobar empire we are ruling today"
Leo held his breath completely paralyzed as Ziya words sank in Ziya turned back around locked her eyes onto Leo and let out a dark wicked smile
"And there is one more thing Leo Do you honestly believe papa named you Leo by mere coincidence Papa bestowed that name upon you after Leonardo Escobar himself He wanted his ancient cruelty and psychotic brilliance to take rebirth and grow through your veins That is exactly why he called you Leo"
Hearing the blood soaked truth behind his very identity a manic crazed expression flickered across Leo face The generational blood feud of this family was operating at a level far higher than anything he had ever imagined
Right at that moment papa thundering voice boomed from the grand hall downstairs echoing all the way up to the private quarters Having secured the signatures of the foreign cartel lords who were now exiting the estate papa looked up toward the upper level and roared
"Ziya Leo get your asses down here right now"
Ziya looked at Leo and spoke with a cold sharp grin
"Now the real story begins Let us go Leo"
