I know what you did. I know you ordered the hit on my father, and I won't rest until you pay for what you've done."Vito leaned back in his chair, a cold smile playing at the corners of his lips. "And what makes you think you can take me down, Antonio? You're just a kid playing at being a gangster. You don't have the stones to take on someone like me."Antonio's nostrils flared with anger as he fought to control his temper. "I may be young, Vito, but I'
