Chapter 53: Zakrota Declares War

Inside Zakrota's mansion, anger was filling the place. The famous leader stood in front of the huge monitors that were reporting to him the news of the attack on the Zeros Project factory. His assistants stood silently, while Zakrota was pressing on his cigarette tightly, his eyes sparkling with sparks.

Zakrota (with suppressed anger): "So... a group of scum decided to mess with my project?"

One of his assistants stepped forward fearfully. "Sir, they've infiltrated the factory, stolen the bombs, and the robots are out of our control."

Zakrota (smiles a terrifying smile): "Good... It seems that someone wants to die in a creative way."

Next to him was a mysterious man wearing a long black coat, his eyes concealing deadly intentions. His name is Dante, Zakrota's right-hand man, and he is responsible for carrying out the elimination operations.

Dante (with a frightening calm): "Do you want me to deal with them?"

Zacrota: "Not yet... Let them feel the success first, then we will crush them like insects."

Zacrota turned to a large screen displaying his factory, which was now a battlefield filled with corpses and destruction. He then slowly turned his head towards Dante, and gave him a slight nod.

Zacrota: "Get your men ready... We will show them who is the real ruler of this game."

Inside Marco's Hideout - Gang Meeting

In a secret warehouse outside Milan, Marco's gang gathered around a table filled with weapons and bombs they had obtained from the factory. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and danger at the same time.

Marco: "Okay guys, now we have the bombs, and we have a weapon that can make Zacrota cry for us. But we know that this is not enough... Zacrota will not stay silent."

Franco (with a sarcastic laugh): "Of course he will not stay silent... Maybe he will break one of the rare golden chairs because of us now."

Columbo (busy with his device): "Well, I assure you he's very angry, because I managed to hack into his palace cameras... and now he's preparing his men to attack us."

Luca (fiddling with his weapon): "That's great! I was bored."

Salvo (nervous): "Luca, we're talking about fighting an entire army, not a boxing match!"

Rocco (smiling): "Excellent, so when do we start fighting?"

Marco (focusing his gaze on everyone): "We won't wait for them to attack us... We'll hit them first!"

Everyone is shocked for a moment.

Luchini (the gang doctor, stunned): "You're kidding, right? We're not in an action movie!"

Marco (confidently): "I'm completely serious. Zacrota always thinks he's in control, but he's never had someone attack him in his own backyard. It's time to change the rules."

Columbo stood up, turned his laptop screen towards everyone, showing them a map of Zacrota's massive mansion.

Columbo: "This is the mansion, it's fortified with thick walls and surveillance cameras, and guards are deployed at every corner. But there's a weak point... the ventilation tunnel leading to the basement where he keeps his most valuable possessions."

Franco (smiling): "Oh, I love stealing from the rich, especially when they're my enemies."

Marco: "The plan is simple: we'll sneak through the tunnel, reach the mansion's basement, and plant bombs there. When the place explodes, Zacrota will lose his most important weapons and money."

Luca (excited): "And the second phase?"

Marco (seriously): "We're waiting for Zacrota on the battlefield... This time, we won't be the prey, we'll be the hunters."

Somewhere, inside a black car

Dante was sitting in the back seat of a tinted car, talking on the phone with Zacrota.

Dante: "Marco is moving fast, and he seems to be planning an attack."

Zacrota (in a calm but terrifying voice): "Let him try... When he enters my palace, I want him to feel like he has entered a real hell."

Dante: "Do you want me to finish it myself?"

Zacrota (with a cold smile): "Not yet... I want to see him suffer first."

Dante hangs up the phone and looks at one of his men, then calmly says: "Prepare everything, the war has begun."
