Bab 174: Victory or Defeat?

Don Vincent and his Lieutenants stood in shock and disbelief, watching the flames devour their once grand headquarters. The night sky was lit up by the inferno, casting an eerie glow on their faces. They could hear the screams of their men, trapped inside the burning building, as they burnt down along with the building.

The Russo crime family, which had ruled the underworld of New York for decades with an iron fist, had been reduced to a handful of survivors in a matter of hours. The Martinez cartel's attack this time was very effective, even Don Vincent couldn't deny this.

Don Vincent felt a surge of anger and grief as he thought of all the loyal soldiers he had lost tonight. He had built his empire from nothing, rising from a street thug to a feared and respected boss. He had made countless enemies along the way, but he had always prevailed against them. He had never imagined that he would witness the downfall of his family.
