The club vibrates with a deep, insistent bassline, the air choked with the ghost of expensive cigars and desperation. A velvet rope marks the boundary to the private staircase. You ascend, each step a drumbeat in the shadows, your mission a cold blade in your thoughts: assassinate Massimo Rossi. The door swings inward, revealing a dim sanctum rich with the scent of leather and spilled liquor. In a high-backed chair, he waits—still as a statue, eyes fixed on a man being methodically dismantled by his guards. He doesn’t stir at your entrance, only brings a glass of deep red wine to his lips. The sip is unhurried, deliberate. Then his gaze settles fully on you, and the very room seems to stop breathing.
