If he could, Antonio Danieli would never take the initiative to ask his boss for a job just to go shopping in the United States.
A total nightmare.
Following Horace Stefano who was busy until eleven o'clock at night, when he returned home, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the living room of his house with three subordinates. Antonio Danieli's legs almost instinctively felt a little numb. soft.
The middle-aged man has a slightly elongated and thin face, black hair, blue eyes, and a hooked nose. There is a hint of Slavic ancestry in his appearance. Because his hair is slightly long and he has a stubble on his face, he gives people a slightly wretched and decadent look, like a middle-aged househusband who has accomplished nothing.
However, it was this middle-aged man who stuffed Antonio Danieli's head under a stamping machine that had just crushed a pig's head to pieces more than half a month ago.
When the head is buried among the rotten flesh and bones filled with blood, it seems that the steel column of the stamping machine can make his head explode like a watermelon with just a little more force. With the ensuing incontinence, what kind of loyalty is there? The law of silence. Ah seems to be irrelevant, only the most basic desire to survive remains.
Then, the middle-aged man asked him slowly and slowly for more than an hour with his head stuck under the stamping machine.
Everything that should be said and shouldn't be said is poured out of bamboo tubes.
When his head finally left the stamping machine, Antonio Danieli knew that he had no way out, and so did the two men he took to the United States. During this period of time, Antonio Danieli didn't know how many people had quietly instigated rebellion by these evil stars in front of him. At least, the entire Danieli family had been completely destroyed.
"you… "
Standing slightly stiff at the door, Antonio Danieli said this, then looked around subconsciously, and suddenly felt a little cold.
There was no sign of his wife or three children around.
The middle-aged man saw through his mind at a glance, and said in a calm tone that Antonio had heard many times but still felt creepy: "They are all in the bedroom and have fallen asleep. As for whether they can wake up, it depends on you tonight. Performance."
Antonio Danieli realized that something was finally about to move.
My lips feel a little dry.
Although he has been suffering from his betrayal and worrying about being discovered for more than half a month, Antonio Danieli understands that this incident is also an opportunity for him, an opportunity to take over the power of the Stefano family, as long as If he succeeds, he will directly jump from an ordinary leader of the 'Ndrangheta to the godfather level.
Thinking of this, Antonio Danieli felt a strange excitement in his body, which was mixed with fear.
Clenching his fist to stop the trembling of his fingertips, Antonio Danieli remembered what happened tonight, looked at the middle-aged man again, and reminded: "Giorgio has noticed you, and we discussed some countermeasures today."
The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room just nodded slightly: "We know."
As soon as Antonio Danieli finished speaking, he realized that his reminder was somewhat unnecessary.
During this period of time, probably none of Horace Stefano's sleep talk could escape the surveillance of these people in front of him.
Antonio installed the bug himself on his boss.
Not only that, at the middle-aged man's request, Antonio Danieli also revealed the location of all the Stefano family members he knew, and also helped draw the details of the interior of Horace Stefano's mansion. layout, and also quietly installed bugs and cameras in many important locations of the 'Ndrangheta, and also helped sort out the intricate interpersonal relationships within the 'Ndrangheta, including those who are friendly to the Stefano family and those who have incompatible relations with the Stefano family. The hatred that has been resolved, which people are friendly on the surface but secretly dissatisfied with the Stefano family, who may avenge the Stefano family after they encounter mishaps, and so on.
Antonio Danieli also realized that with these people's cruel and unruly methods than their mafia, there must be other people within the 'Ndrangheta doing similar acts these days.
After standing there for two or three minutes, the middle-aged man sitting on the single sofa facing the door slightly raised his hand to indicate that he could sit down.
There were no lights on in the living room.
Only the television was turned on, the sound was low and the light flickered.
In the dim light and shadow, as the middle-aged man raised his hand, Antonio Danieli found that he was holding a silenced pistol in his hand. It seemed a little familiar. After he got closer, he recognized that the pistol was his own. He had always hidden it in his hand. On the bedroom bedside table within reach.
I wanted to go to the bedroom to take a look, but I couldn't muster the courage.
No matter what, life or death is tonight.
If I can't live, what will one more night do
Now that he has entered this industry, Antonio Danieli is somewhat prepared for life and death.
He came and sat down on the single sofa facing the middle-aged man, and glanced at the other three people on the sofa next to him who had been silent and seemed to be watching TV or in a daze. They had met him before. However, whether it is the middle-aged man or the other three, Antonio Danieli still does not know the name.
Tonight seems to be getting longer and longer.
After Antonio Danieli sat down, the living room fell silent, with only the sound coming from the TV, and various thoughts began to flash through his mind.
Since tonight is the end, shouldn't we prepare for it
The four guys around him who can bring fear to gangsters like him, who have been involved in gangs for more than 20 years and have seen blood, should be the main participants in the operation, right
I can't help but think about how it all started.
In order to prevent Melisandre Company from acquiring Versace, he was sent to issue a warning to Melisandre Company CEO Sofia Fesci.
This should be a very common thing, everyone does it often, and the results are usually very good.
I didn't expect something would go wrong this time.
So serious.
After more than half a month, Antonio Danieli gradually figured out that it must be the young super-rich man behind Sofia Fesi. As a legend who has risen rapidly in recent years, the deeds of Simon Westeros It is widely circulated even in Italy.
However, Antonio Danieli never expected that the other party would be so unprovoked, and more ruthless than the mafia like them.
They just sent a few bullets to his lover's house. In fact, they didn't plan to do anything as long as the other party compromised.
Simon Westeros responded decisively.
Now.
After reorganizing everything that happened during this period, Antonio Danieli felt that he should be able to survive, at least, the chance was very high.
You know, once the Stefano family is cleared out, it is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest. There are nearly 200 gang members directly affiliated with the Stefano family in the Calabria region. The size of the entire six major families of the 'Ndrangheta More than three thousand people.
The mess can be very troublesome if there is no one to take over and clean it up.
Antonio Danieli actually also knew that after the incident, other companies would definitely fill the vacancy left by the Stefano family as soon as possible. However, they did not turn to Simon Westeros, but were learning the truth. Later, retaliation is likely.
Well, it seems that the possibility of revenge is not too great.
If it were Antonio himself, he would never be stupid enough to take revenge on Simon Westeros after knowing the cause and effect of the matter. No one wants to have his whole family killed in his sleep.
Among these scattered thoughts, it was already one o'clock in the morning without realizing it.
Antonio Danieli once again took a careful look at the four sculpture-like figures around him. He had no intention of giving it a go, but wanted to remind him of something.
For example, we should pay attention to the two pit bulls in the Horace family. They are two very alert and fierce animals. They have killed people in the past.
For example, Dimitri Stefano, the youngest member of the Stefano family, is also the timidest and would sleep in different rooms even in the same villa.
For example, the fifth ranked Orazio Stefano, his wife is the niece of the Tejano family. In order to fight against a marriage between the three Condero families, it seems that he should be careful, otherwise he may provoke the Tejano family.
However, what he knew had actually been confessed to the middle-aged man opposite him in advance, more than once.
There is probably no need to remind you again now.
In the midst of the torment, Antonio Danieli couldn't hold it back and asked the middle-aged man opposite: "Don't we need to do something?"
The middle-aged man withdrew his eyes from the TV screen, looked at him, and said only one word: "Wait."
Then it was back to television.
Antonio Danieli had no choice but to turn to the TV, but the late-night drama on the screen didn't interest him at all. In order to relax, he couldn't help but guess whether the people around him could understand it.
The middle-aged man must understand that although the other person's Italian obviously has a northern accent, he is as fluent as if he has lived in Italy for many years.
The other three people must also know something, but their daily conversations are in English.
This made Antonio Danieli unable to understand, so he still doesn’t know the names of the four people. Judging from the other party's behavior, he also vaguely guessed that these people must be the legendary professional agents, KGB, Stasi, MI6, Mossad, CIA... It seems that Italy lacks a similar organization. It is a pity.
He was silent again for an unknown length of time. Suddenly, the faint sound of gunshots came. Antonio Danieli immediately recognized that it was the Beretta 160 automatic rifle that he had played with many times. It was just assembled by the Italian army in 1990. At that time, the Italian government was promoting a gun ban bill. Taking advantage of the last opportunity, Horace Stefano obtained a batch of standard weapons for the gang. It was still not a legal channel.
This information floated through his mind, and then there was a dull explosion, and Antonio Danieli's body shook.
Grenade
Then he realized that the explosion just now seemed not to be just one, but at least two grenades exploded at the same time. It was just because the explosions were so close that it sounded like one.
The Mafia is usually very good with bombs, but professional weapons such as grenades are not common. The one ton of explosives that blew up the anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falco two years ago were actually collected from Cosa Nostra mines. After collecting them, Italy introduced a gun ban in 1991. After that, it was not easy to get all kinds of arms.
Antonio Danieli heard clearly that the gunshots and explosions came from the direction of Horace Stefano's mansion two blocks away.
The room suddenly went dark, and the original light from the TV disappeared.
power cut.
Is this a coincidence
His eyes swept over the four people around him, but there was no movement from the other party, so Antonio had to calm down again.
In Stefano's mansion a few hundred meters away from Danieli's house.
Two minutes ago, the intelligence team cooperating with the assault team first poisoned two extremely alert pit bulls by feeding them from a remote-controlled helicopter. After successfully dismantling the alarm system of the wall, the assault team climbed over the wall from the surveillance blind corner and killed them immediately. Four bodyguards are on duty in the villa.
At this point in the mission, there shouldn't be any suspense anymore.
The bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Stefano was on the second floor of the villa.
The assault team did not choose to attack from the main entrance, but set up ladders to enter from the balcony.
Unexpectedly, as soon as a team member emerged from the ladder, gunfire rang out in the bedroom, and the team member fell from the escalator.
Vasily Danilov, who was in charge of leading the team, never thought that things would go wrong at the last step.
According to the homework beforehand, this villa has more than twenty rooms in total. The four commandos, even if they are coupled with the four-person intelligence team outside, will inevitably go wrong if they fall into a hide-and-seek game.
Without hesitation, Varisi Danilov gestured to the other two team members, and each of the three threw a grenade directly in.
At the right time, the grenade flew into the bedroom and exploded immediately.
Three blasts in a row that are almost indistinguishable.
Not caring about the result of testing too cautiously, Vasily Danilov signaled the other two team members to move the escalator to the side of the balcony, and quickly climbed up himself.
This time it proved the correctness of the decision just made.
Mr. and Mrs. Horace Stefano did not flee the bedroom immediately. Instead, they hid inside the big bed and waited for the next wave of attacks. The result was predictable.
Among the tasks Vasily Danilov received, Horace Stefano was the first priority. If things changed, as long as they killed the other party, their task would be completed.
Now, the grenade exploded, and according to the plan drawn up in advance, they had to evacuate within three minutes.
According to the news received in advance, there are a total of 10 people in the villa tonight, four bodyguards and Stefano and his wife are dead, followed by only Stefano and his wife's two sons, and two maids.
The original plan was to kill the adults and leave the children alive.
However, when the grenade sounded, a voice came from Danilov's headset for the first time: "The plan has changed, shoot to kill, repeat, the plan has changed, shoot to kill."
Vasily Danilov agreed, without hesitation, rushed out of the Stefano couple's bedroom, and immediately kicked open another familiar bedroom door.
There was no one on the bed.
Vasily Danilov turned on the thermal infrared mode of his night vision goggles.
Thermal infrared does not have the exaggerated wall-penetrating effect seen in movies, but at close range, there is no way to hide.
In his field of vision, a red shadow appeared in the cabinet in the corner of the room. Danilov raised his gun expressionlessly and fired three times. After three pops of the silenced rifle, he quickly turned to another room.
Within the next minute, only a woman's scream came from the villa, and then there was complete silence.
At some point, the power in the entire neighborhood was cut off. Many people woke up in the dark and found that the power was out and even the phone lines had been cut off. So they hid in their homes and did not dare to act rashly.
three minutes.
The assault team and the intelligence team evacuated on time, taking away all the bodies and a soldier who was shot in the shoulder and was not seriously injured.
This is a quarter past two in the morning on August 23.
Turbulent night.
Across the city, similar actions took place at almost the same time.
