Chapter 16 - The Family Reunion of Blood
"Welcome to Europe, nephew; I always knew you had your father's stubborn streak," Viktor said smoothly, swirling his amber drink.
"You locked my wife in a basement and threatened my daughter's life, Viktor," Alexander stated, his voice a lethal whisper.
"Business requires collateral, Alexander; your father stole my share of the global trust thirty years ago," Viktor retorted bitterly.
"So you built a criminal syndicate, poisoned family members, and terrorized an innocent child just to settle a decades-old grudge?" Alexander challenged.
Viktor stood up slowly, reaching his hand inside his velvet jacket as two hidden assassins stepped out from the shadows above.
"I didn't survive fifty years in the shadows to be lectured by a corporate executive from Boston," Viktor sneered, drawing a pistol.
Before Viktor could level his weapon, Alexander moved with terrifying speed, drawing his concealed sidearm and firing a single precise shot.
The bullet struck the marble pillar inches from Viktor's hand, shattering the stone and knocking the gun to the floor.
