Chapter 18 - A Secret Meeting in a Downtown Manhattan Office
High above the bustling streets of Manhattan, a shadowy figure sat in a leather executive suite.
The remaining board members of the fallen syndicate gathered around a sleek glass conference table.
News reports flickered on the wall-mounted television detailing the total collapse of their illegal assets.
“Vittorio completely dismantled our operation from the inside out,” one executive muttered in panic.
“We underestimated his tactical instincts and his willingness to burn everything down,” another replied.
The head of the syndicate leaned forward, his face obscured by the dim lighting of the penthouse office.
“This battle is lost, but the war for commercial dominance in the Southeast is far from over,” he whispered.
He slid a fresh dossier across the table containing confidential blueprints of Vittorio’s upcoming municipal skyscraper.
“If we can't buy him out or poison his legacy, we’ll strike at his newest architectural masterpiece.”
