Kapitel 22: Chapter 22-I’m not your prisoner!

Lucas's subordinates, feeling somewhat embarrassed, were at a loss for what to do under Capone's imposing and aloof demeanor, apart from feeling humiliated.

The residents' morale was rising again. One of them stepped forward and shouted at the men, "Go back and tell your boss to give up on this idea. If he wants to touch our ancestors' graves, he'll have to step over our dead bodies first!"

The men were still unwilling to retreat just like that. If they returned without completing their task, they would face Lucas's wrath. Lucas was known to be ruthless, and with Capone being his arch-enemy, if this job wasn't done right, he might even end up losing his Italian dinner!

The confrontation between the two sides grew more intense. The residents pushed forward, and Sophia, who had originally been holding Capone's hand, found herself separated from him as the crowd surged.
