COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 120: Choas
Luna’s car arrived at Nathan's safe house. At this point the Griffo men put in charge of watching over Nathan are used to Luna's visit and without question, they let her in. Nathan was sitting at his desk and jotting down some notes, as he glanced up and saw Luna, a smile drew across his face. "Luna," he whispered gently. "I didn't anticipate your arrival." "Yes, I simply couldn't resist coming back," she responded, advancing towards him. I had to meet with you. Nathan stood and crossed the room, pulling her into his arms. “About before, I just wanna say…..”“I don’t care,” Luna whispered, pressing her lips to his. The kiss deepened, both of them losing themselves for a moment in the passion they shared.They broke apart, breathless, and Nathan led her to the bed. “Are you sure about this? What if your brothers find out we’ve been….,” he murmured, his hands running through her hair.“I know,” Luna sighed, lying down beside him. “But being with you is the only thing that feels right.
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 121: A Hostage Situation
Vanekan entered Vincenzo's study with a composed demeanor, but his mind was racing. He had been summoned abruptly, and the presence of Marco and Enzo in the room only heightened his suspicion."Uncle," Vincenzo greeted, his tone icy. "Take a seat."Vanekan sat down, his eyes scanning the room. "Vincenzo. Marco. Enzo. What’s this about?"Vincenzo leaned forward, his gaze piercing. "I've been hearing things, Uncle. Your eagerness to become interim Don in my absence was quite alarming."Vanekan met his gaze steadily. "I was doing what I thought was best for the family. You were out of reach, and we needed leadership.""Leadership?" Vincenzo's voice dripped with disdain. "Or control?"Vanekan clenched his fists under the table. "Control, leadership—call it what you want. I kept things running smoothly."Marco interjected, his voice mocking. "Smoothly? You mean creating your little empire?"Vanekan shot him a glare. "I did what was necessary."Enzo smirked. "Necessary for whom? Yourself?"
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 122: A Ploy for Power
Vanekan stood by the hotel room window, staring out at the sprawling cityscape of Madrid. The city pulsed with life, but his mind was a storm of conflicting thoughts. Max was sitting on the edge of one of the beds, nervously tapping his foot."Uncle, what's our next move?" Max finally broke the silence.Vanekan turned, his eyes sharp with determination. "We need to assess the situation first. Giovanni will have the details. Stay alert and follow my lead."Max nodded, trying to hide his anxiety. "This is crazy, what the hell does Vincenzo expect from us here in Spain."Vanekan felt irritated with Max's questions "It doesn’t matter just stick with me. This is just another job." Vanekan knew Max had next to zero experience with the dealings and operations of the Griffo family. He was never allowed to join the family business because he was an illegitimate son of Vincenzo’s father.A knock on the door interrupted them. Vanekan opened it to find Giovanni standing there, a grim expression o
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 123: A Price of Freedom
Enzo and Marco entered the Mexican gang mansion, their footsteps echoing in the vast, dimly lit hall. The air was thick with tension as they approached Miguel, who sat at the head of a long table, flanked by his men. No guards accompanied Enzo and Marco, as per Miguel's instructions."Miguel," Enzo began, his voice steady, "we're here to negotiate."Miguel's eyes were hard, but there was a flicker of something else—something Enzo couldn't quite place. "Ten Billion dollars. No less."Enzo tried to keep his voice calm. "Miguel, that's an impossible sum. We can work something out, but ten billion... it's exorbitant."Miguel leaned back in his chair. "That's the price. Take it or leave it."Marco, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up, his face flushed with anger. "How dare you, Miguel? Have you lost your mind? You kidnapped a Griffo! Do you have any idea what you've done?"Miguel's expression didn't change, but his fingers drummed nervously on the table. "I know exactly what I
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 124: The Cross Roads
The old warehouse on the outskirts of town was the chosen meeting place. Vincenzo, Marco, Enzo, and their men, were waiting for Miguel. The air was thick with anticipation and the faint scent of dust and gasoline. Enzo glanced at his men, then at the entrance, where Miguel and his Mexican gangmen were just arriving.Miguel stepped forward, flanked by his lieutenants. “Vincenzo,” he greeted curtly.“Miguel,” Vincenzo replied, matching his tone. “We need to talk.”Miguel said with a sad demeanor. “Talking is why we’re here, isn’t it?”Enzo folded his arms. “You know what we want. Luna. Safe and unharmed.”Miguel’s eyes narrowed. “And you know what we want. Ten billion dollars.”Vincenzo shook his head. “That’s not going to happen, Miguel. You’re in no position to demand that kind of money.”Miguel said in a harsh tone. “You think you’re in control here, Vincenzo? Think again.”Marco stepped forward. “We could just take you out right now and be done with it.”Miguel’s second-in-command,
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 125: A Act of Kindness
Miguel was pushed roughly into the cellar of the Griffo mansion as the heavy door creaked open. The faint glow in the cell barely illuminated the stone walls, creating menacing, dancing shadows. Vincenzo, Marco, and Enzo entered with him, their expressions showing strong resolve. Vincenzo turned to Miguel, his voice cold. “You know why you’re here. Where’s Luna?”Miguel sat silently, his lips pressed into a thin line. He knew the consequences of speaking. Kim had made it clear that any betrayal would mean death for his family.Marco stepped forward, anger simmering just below the surface. “You think you can stay silent? We can make you talk.”Miguel’s eyes met Marco’s, unflinching. “Do your worst. I’ve got nothing to say.”Marco’s fist slammed into the table, the sound echoing through the cellar. “You’re testing my patience, Miguel!”Enzo, noticing the tension, placed a calming hand on Marco’s shoulder. “Easy, Marco. Anger won’t get us answers. Let’s take a break, and rethink our str
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 126: The Rescue Mission
Raul walked back and forth in the poorly lit room, his thoughts quickly flowing through the day's happenings. The headquarters of the Mexican gang was a complex network of corridors and rooms buzzing with constant activity. He finally mustered up the bravery to walk up to Kim, who was sitting behind a sizable wooden desk, leisurely enjoying a glass of whiskey. "Kim," Raul started, his voice steady but his heart pounding. "I need to tell you what happened at the negotiation warehouse."Kim looked up, his eyes sharp and calculating. "Go on."Raul took a deep breath. "Miguel almost betrayed you. He was going to tell the Griffos everything. But I stopped him."Kim leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You did well, Raul. Very well."Raul's chest swelled with a mix of pride and relief. "Thank you, Kim. I did what I had to."Kim set his glass down and stood up, walking around the desk to face Raul directly. "From this moment on, you are the leader of the Mexican ga
COVENANTS OF CHAOS Chapter 127: Unveiling Lies
24 Hours Before Nathan and Luna are rescuedThe warehouse was chilly, filled with the strong smell of mold and hopelessness. Nathan was seated on the hard concrete ground, his wrists stinging from the tight ropes wrapped around them. Luna was seated close by, with her eyes shut, her expression displaying fatigue. The room was filled with harsh fluorescent light as the door opened and creaked. Two strong men walked into the room with emotionless expressions on their faces. One of them directed their finger towards Nathan. "You! Get up" one of the men said sharply. Nathan pushed himself up, feeling his legs numb after hours of sitting still. The men forcefully seized him, pulling him out of the building and into a van that was ready and waiting. During the journey, there was no talking, just the quiet hum of the engine and the occasional jolt from the bumpy road. The van came to a stop after what seemed like forever. Nathan was taken out and led inside a building that felt familiar.

Chapter 172: Denouement
Covenants of Chaos: DenouementThe ruins of the Moretti estate still smoldered in the pale light of dawn. The air, thick with ash and the acrid stench of burning wood, carried the weight of a battle won, but at immeasurable cost. Lucas Kane stood amidst the rubble, his shoulders slumped, his breathing heavy. Beside him, Aria Moretti stared into the horizon, her expression unreadable.“You’re quiet,” Lucas said, breaking the silence. His voice was low, hesitant, as though afraid to shatter the fragile moment.Aria didn’t look at him. “What’s there to say?” Her tone was curt, but not sharp. “It’s over.”Lucas shifted, kicking a charred piece of debris with the toe of his boot. “Is it?” He gestured toward the ruins. “This… all of this didn’t just vanish because Silas is gone. The people he hurt, the lives he ruined—none of that disappears.”Aria finally turned to face him, her eyes glassy but resolute. “And what do you want me to do about it? Apologize for him? For what he did?” Her voic
Church 171: Covenants of Chaos
The storm roared over the Moretti property, thunder booming like artillery. Beneath the earth, the cavern shimmered with a foreboding, throbbing glow, archaic markings etched into the rocky ground creating sharp silhouettes. Lucas Kane knelt, his hands tied, as Silas Moretti's stare pressed heavily upon him."You seem let down," Silas remarked, walking back and forth in front of Lucas. The voice of the mafia boss was quiet and mocking. "Did you really believe you could simply enter my home, take what belongs to me, and walk away?" No, Lucas. This concludes here. "This evening, you'll truly grasp what genuine power resembles.""You don't need me for any of this," Lucas growled. He strained against the ropes binding him but didn't flinch. "Let my mother go. She's innocent." Silas laughed, cold and sharp. "Innocent? No one's innocent, Lucas. Least of all Evelyn Kane." He gestured to the corner of the chamber, where Lucas' mother sat slumped, her wrists chained to a metal loop in the wa
Chapter 170: The Offer
The Griffo mansion was quieter now, a deceptive calm settled over it. Vincenzo sat behind his desk, his mind occupied with the recent upheavals. The knock on the door broke his reverie.“Enter,” Vincenzo called, his voice steady.The door opened to reveal Sarai Min Jae, her expression resolute. She stepped inside, closing the door behind her. She had stayed at one of the safe houses they used to keep Nathan in when he was a captive. Her room was heavily monitored. In the office were Vincenzo, Enzo, and Marco who had his arm bandaged up from the gunshot wound.“Sarai,” he began, his voice soft but firm, “we need to talk.” Vincenzo gestured to the chair opposite him. “Sit. ”Marco stared at the 21-year-old girl who sat in front of the desk. She had nice black long hair, he fox eyes were an attractive feature Marco could not ignore. “I hope the safe house wasn’t too rough on you beautiful,” Marco said with a soft tone Sarai looked up at Marco and saw his nice smile. She quickly looked
Chapter 169: The Aftermath
The Griffo mansion bustled with activity. The aroma of antiseptics and the sound of groans filled the dense air. Marco was lying on an improvised medical table, his shirt drenched in blood. “Nurse!” Vincenzo barked, his voice echoing through the hall. “Get over here, now!”A middle-aged nurse hurried to Marco’s side, her hands steady despite the chaos around her. She carefully inspected Marco’s wound."This is going to hurt sir," she cautioned while getting her tools ready. Marco clenched his jaws. “Just do it.” The nurse nodded and quickly extracted the bullet from Marco's shoulder. He uttered a choked scream, his face twisted in agony. "Stay still," she advised while skillfully sewing up the wound. Vincenzo angrily and frustratingly paced nearby, his face a storm of emotion. He muttered to himself, “Dang it. How did they know we were coming.”Vanaken approached, his face pale. “Vincenzo, we need to talk.”Vincenzo stopped pacing and faced him. “What is it?”“The capos are argui

Kim’s office was dimly lit, the shadows playing across the walls as he waited. The silence was interrupted by a soft knock on the door.“Enter,” Kim called, his voice calm but authoritative.Nakamura stepped inside, his face a mask of professionalism. “You wanted to see me?”Kim gestured to the chair opposite his desk. “Sit. What’s the situation?”Nakamura sat, her eyes narrowing slightly as he leaned forward, his fingers steepled. “Max has informed me about a planned attack by the Griffo family on our organization. It’s set to happen tomorrow .”Kim’s eyes widened, but he quickly composed herself. “Do we know the details?”Nakamura nodded. “Max was able to get the specifics. They plan to hit our main warehouse and the casino simultaneously. They’re hoping to cripple us in one swift move. They are also planning to hit us here at the headquarters.”Kim lets out a low whistle. “Ambitious. But foolish. How reliable is Max’s intel?”“Not that reliable,” Nakamura replied. “But right now it
Chapter 167: A Night to Remember
The day leading to the attack on the Yakuza gang left the mansion in a rare moment of calm. The tension had given way to a fragile sense of peace. As night fell, Vincenzo found himself outside Rain's room, his mind swirling with thoughts of their recent trials and her unexpected loyalty.He knocked softly. "Rain, it's me."The door opened, and Rain stood there, her eyes meeting his. "Vincenzo. What’s up?""I thought we could talk," Vincenzo said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "And maybe have a drink."Rain's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "A drink, huh? Sounds like you have something more in mind.""Perhaps," Vincenzo replied with a wink. "Join me in the study?"Rain agreed by nodding and closing the door behind her while she walked behind him down the hallway. The research was cozy and welcoming, with a fire crackling in the fireplace. Vincenzo filled two wine glasses and passed one to Rain. "To survive another day," he toasted, raising his glass. As he was indicating the upcomi
Chapter 166: The Tides of Betrayal
Vincenzo strode into the dimly lit room, the tension palpable in the air. The Capos were already gathered, their faces a mix of anger and anticipation. Rain followed closely behind, her expression unreadable. Vincenzo returns from his trip with Rain and gathers with the Capos as they discuss plans to lead a reprisal attack on the perpetrators, the Yakuza gang."Alright, let's get to it," Vincenzo said, taking his place at the head of the table. "We've all heard what happened. The Yakuza hit us hard. And it by safe to say there have been how dangerous enemy for a long time. According to Nathan’s insider info they were behind Pedro’s child trafficking operation. There are also the benefactors of the Mexican gang. They are also responsible for Luna’s death. We need to strike back, and we need to do it now."Rick, one of the Capos, leaned forward. "We need to hit them where it hurts. Their operations in the docks are crucial. We take that out, we cripple them.""Agreed," another Capo, Ant
Chapter 165: An Unwelcome Reunion
The heavy oak door creaked open, echoing through the grand yet somber mansion. Kim stood at the threshold, his face a mask of controlled emotion. He watched as his mother-in-law, Mrs. Park, shuffled in, her frail form supported by a cane."Mother," he greeted tersely, stepping aside to let her in. Behind her, Sarai Min Jae followed, her eyes scanning the opulent interior with a mix of nostalgia and unease."Save your greetings for someone who cares Kim," Mrs. Park replied, her voice hoarse. "I wouldn't have come if it weren't for Sarai. The poor girl just wants to see her father."Sarai, now a striking 21-year-old woman, stood awkwardly, clutching her bag. "Dad," she said softly.Kim's eyes softened briefly. "Sarai. It's been too long." Kim steps close to her extending his arm with an invitation to hug. “Come, my dear.” He said as he hugged his daughter and she hugged him back. Sarai had been living with her grandmother for the last six years. Mrs Park had previously refused to let Sa
Chapter 164: Love and Lies
Vincenzo and Rain were getting ready to head off to a crucial appointment as the sun started to rise over the edges of Philadelphia. Vincenzo had to deal with the loss of the shipping company they made use of to transport their illegal merchandise. Thanks to the new mayor's alliance with Clayton the company was now in their control. He would have gladly rescheduled to have more time to mourn Luna’s death but he knew he had to deal with this before they lost even more control of the city. Rain had persistently pushed to go with him, gradually breaking through Vincenzo's initial hesitation. "Do you really want to go with me?" With raised eyebrows, Vincenzo inquired, mildly amused, as he observed Rain packing a small suitcase. “It mostly going to be boring business talks and exchanges.”Rain flashed him a confident smile. "Absolutely. Someone has to keep you out of trouble."Vincenzo chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm not the one who needs a babysitter." He said indicating to Rain herself
