chapter 19: uncovering of the plan

Vincenzo Marino sat across from Federico Luciano, the 9th generation boss of the Luciano family, in his private office. They were both studying the reports in front of them, which detailed the recent activities of the Santoro family.

Vincenzo couldn't help but feel impressed by the level of detail and planning that Alex and his guardians had put into their strategy to deal with the Santoro family. But he also couldn't help feeling concerned about the potential danger they might face.

"Federico, we have a situation," Vincenzo said, breaking the silence.

Federico raised his eyebrows, signaling for Vincenzo to continue.

"Alex and his guardians have been working on a plan to deal with the Santoro family," Vincenzo explained. "They have done their research and they are determined to see it through."

Federico nodded thoughtfully, considering the implications. "I see," he said finally. "And what do you suggest we do about this?"

Vincenzo leaned back in his chair and sighed. "I don't know, Federico. On the one hand, I admire their loyalty to the family and their determination to protect it. But on the other hand, I worry about their safety. They are not trained like our men are."

Federico nodded in agreement. "I share your concerns, Vincenzo. But I also trust their judgment. We need to find a way to support them without endangering their lives. Perhaps we can provide them with backup, without them even realizing it."

Vincenzo nodded slowly, considering the idea. "That could work. We could send some of our own men to assist them, without revealing our involvement."

Federico smiled. "Exactly. And in the meantime, we'll keep a close eye on the Santoro family. We can't let them catch wind of what Alex and his guardians are planning."

Vincenzo nodded, feeling relieved that they had a plan in place. "Agreed. We'll have our men monitor the situation closely and provide backup as needed. It's time to protect our family's honor and legacy."

Federico nodded, a look of determination in his eyes. "Blood, honor, and family. The Luciano code."
