Chapter 10 - UNRAVELING THE SYNDICATE
Dante’s communication network came alive on a secure satellite laptop set up in the study. Through encrypted channels, he began peeling back the layers of the betrayal. He discovered that Sal Romano had colluded with a rival New York syndicate to facilitate cargo thefts and execute the hit on Dante's family. More critically, Dante found financial ledgers proving that Sal had been embezzling millions from their legitimate import ports, funneling the cash into offshore accounts to buy out the loyalty of remaining syndicate captains.
The digital battle playing out on the satellite laptop was just as ruthless as any street shootout. Dante sat in the dark study for hours, eyes glued to spreadsheets, bank wire transfers, and intercepted phone logs. He mapped out Sal Romano’s entire criminal enterprise, identifying every shell corporation, every bribed harbor official, and every turncoat soldier who had taken Sal’s money.

Ella stood in the doorway, holding a cup of coffee, watching the lethal efficiency of the man she had come to care for. He wasn't just defending himself anymore; he was preparing to unleash a storm that would wipe Sal Romano off the map.
