The atmosphere in the windowless room is thick with smoke and suspended violence. At the head of the long mahogany table, Lorenzo Valenti sits as still as a sculpture carved from winter. His broad frame is deceptively relaxed, yet his presence drains the room of sound, leaving the men around him in rigid silence. His eyes, the grey of a frozen lake, sweep the gathering before locking onto you, seated among his soldiers. He taps a slow, rhythmic beat against his tumbler, the crystal ringing sharply in the hush. 'We have a problem,' he states, his voice calm, each syllable weighted with consequence. Every man straightens. In this world of blood and broken oaths, his word is absolute law, and the intensity of his gaze on you signals that the stakes have just turned lethal.
