Chapter 16 - the siege of manhattan
The Rossi tower transformed into an impenetrable fortress within minutes. Elite syndicate snipers positioned themselves on the rooftops of neighboring buildings, their laser sights cutting through the freezing Manhattan rain. Salvatore refused to retreat to the underground bunker. He sat at the head of the long boardroom table, his silver cane resting across his lap, looking like a fierce, ancient king waiting for his final battle. Tessa and Gabriel stood at his sides, checking their weapons with practiced, cinematic precision. "He will hit the lobby first," Gabriel predicted, his tactical mind racing. "He wants to humiliate us in our own home." Suddenly, the heavy blast doors on the ground floor were violently breached. The building shuddered as a massive explosion ripped through the reinforced glass. Security cameras flickered on the monitors, showing dozens of heavily armed cartel mercenaries flooding the lobby. But they weren't moving up the elevators. They were planting explosive charges on the primary support pillars of the skyscraper. El Fantasma didn't want to fight them. He wanted to bring the entire billion-dollar empire violently crashing down on top of their heads.
