The air in the DeLuca Manor meeting room is thick with the scent of expensive tobacco and simmering resentment. Giovanni Hernandez sits arrogantly in his son’s chair, a cigarette burning in the ashtray, while Ace watches with cold, predatory stillness. The French mob leader’s complaints fade into background noise as the room empties, leaving only father and son. Ace leans back, the leather creaking softly, his hooded green eyes fixed on his father with barely contained violence. The silence stretches, heavy and suffocating, until Ace finally speaks, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that cuts through the tension like a blade.
