Season 1: Rise of the Villain
Episode 4: The First Betrayal
Loyalty in the underworld was as fragile as glass—one crack, and it shattered. Damien had learned that lesson early, but he was about to experience it firsthand.
The Black Vultures were expanding their empire, taking over new territories. Salazar sent Damien to negotiate with a smaller gang, the Crimson Serpents. The deal was simple—join the Vultures or be erased.
Their leader, Rigo, was smart. He agreed to a truce, shaking Damien's hand, promising loyalty. But in the underworld, words meant nothing. That same night, Damien walked into an ambush.
Bullets tore through the air as he dove for cover in an abandoned warehouse. His own men, the ones he had fought beside for years, turned their guns on him. He had been set up.
Betrayed.
Rage burned inside him. They thought they could kill him? They thought they could bury him?
One by one, he hunted them down in the darkness. A silent blade to the throat. A bullet between the eyes. The traitors died screaming, and by dawn, the Crimson Serpents were no more.
Damien returned to Salazar, covered in blood. "It was an inside job," he growled. "Someone in our own family set this up."
Salazar nodded, as if he already knew. "Then find out who. And make an example of them."
Damien wasn't just fighting for power anymore. Now, it was personal.
