Antonio had initially harbored sinister intentions towards Charlie, envisioning a gruesome end for him. However, it was a disguised Aman who unexpectedly altered the course of events. Antonio sought a discreet location to swiftly end Charlie’s life with a single gunshot to the head.

The wine cellar, a chilling choice for such dark deeds, became Antonio’s preferred stage. He aimed to eliminate the audacious and unaware Chinese man right before Aman’s eyes. Little did he anticipate Charlie’s impatience, which outpaced even his own impending demise.

After a brief pause, Antonio sneered at Charlie, pointing a finger, “I’ve dealt with many, but I’ve never met anyone so eager to meet their fate. Very well, I’ll oblige.”

With urgency, he commanded his entourage, “Restrain him, now!”

Julia stood her ground, disregarding her own safety, her voice unwavering, “You cannot do this!”

Unwilling to let his daughter interfere further, Antonio contemplated having her removed.

But before he could issue the order, Charlie interjected impatiently, “Why waste time on her? Can’t she witness blood? It’ll toughen her up.”

Antonio seethed, his words sharp, “Julia, as a Sicilian woman, you must acquaint yourself with the grim reality of this world. Otherwise, you’ll remain as fragile as a child.”

“Child!” He snapped and then turned imperiously to his younger brother, “Take them away, together!”

Charlie wisely toned down the aura that had previously unsettled several of the mafia underlings. They were too stunned to question this shift. Swiftly, he retrieved a firearm and directed them towards the wine cellar.

Afterwards, Antonio extended a respectful invitation to Aman, stating, “Mr. Ramovich, please join me here.”

Aman relished the moment. He held a deep disdain for Charlie, but circumstances had prevented him from acting. Today, an opportunity had presented itself, and he would watch from the sidelines. A gleeful prospect indeed.

Anticipating potential retaliation from the Dragon Temple against Antonio in the future, he cast Antonio a glance tinged with pity, remarking with a wry smile, “Antonio, it seems you’re destined to leave your mark today.”

Like a soldier receiving commendation from his general, Antonio stood tall, his expression filled with pride. “Fear not, Mr. Ramovich, today you shall witness something extraordinary!”

Aman offered a note of caution, “I observe that this Chinese gentleman possesses an admirable physique, and the Chinese are known for their martial arts prowess. Exercise the utmost vigilance.”

Antonio scoffed, “All that kung fu is just a facade, a trick to deceive. Even if Jackie Chan himself were here, he’d be no match.”

Aman countered swiftly, “No, no, no, caution dictates we secure him. Bind his hands with handcuffs. One pair won’t suffice, ensure there are at least two, preferably three!” Although Antonio found Aman’s wariness puzzling, he complied with the boss’s directive.

Without delay, he instructed his henchmen, “Fetch multiple sets of handcuffs. Secure the Chinese gentleman to me with one, and bring a few more pairs!” Before long, Charlie approached the wine cellar, his wrists enveloped in three sets of restraints. The iron cuffs were formidable; even Jordan wore two to preempt any potential resistance.

Julia implored Antonio to release Charlie, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. For the first time, Antonio conceded that Charlie had a point. As a Sicilian woman, Julia needed to confront certain harsh realities. Compassion had its limits; it was time for her to confront the sight of blood up close.

The wine cellar Antonio referred to was located in the manor’s basement. This vast underground chamber housed three wine cellars, two filled with an array of vintages, while the largest one lacked wine but held an ancient rack designed for torture, a relic from the 15th-century Vatican.
