Chapter 29

• The assault began at 3:17 a.m.
• Three teams hit the uncle’s remaining strongholds simultaneously. Explosions lit up the night sky over the docks as Leo’s main force breached the primary compound — a fortified warehouse complex that served as the uncle’s last major command center. Gunfire cracked through the air like thunder. The smell of cordite and burning fuel choked the wind.
• Leo moved at the front, rifle tight to his shoulder, clearing rooms with cold efficiency. Kai stayed glued to his left flank, Luca on his right. Elena led the secondary team hitting the armory two blocks away. Every man and woman in their battered alliance knew this was the decisive blow.
