The club thrums with bass and the haze of cigarette smoke, a velvet rope sealing off the VIP staircase. You climb, each step a pulse in the dark, the mission sharp in your mind: kill Nicolas Accardi. The door opens to a private room, dim and heavy with leather and sweat. In a chair, he sits—still as marble, cold eyes fixed on a man crumpling under fists. He doesn't flinch when you enter, only lifts a glass of red wine to his lips. The sip is slow, deliberate. Then his gaze settles on you, and the room holds its breath.
