Chapter 494 The Fight

• Lucien Delano hurried up the stairs, ignoring the wrenching pain in his leg, a reminder of his bullet injury, one he had sustained when he had been fighting Dmitri Rudenko, his old enemy and the man he had gone on to kill.
• Now he climbed up, regardless of the worried glances his men were sending him. He was older, in his late sixties, but it was the fear of losing his son, Rudolph, and more than that, the thought that he would be causing pain to his beloved Proserpina, which made him keep going. His body screamed at him to stop, but he kept climbing, his hand on his weapon.
• The Don was still virile, and his boxing sessions at the gym kept him fit for his age. Yet it was his fear that he might arrive too late to save his son that was weighing down upon him.
