The downfall of the Bellini empire continued. And this time, it spread faster than anyone could contain.
Within days, Bellini men began defecting.
Some disappeared without a word. Others quietly crossed over to rival organizations, taking valuable information, contacts, and territory with them.
The men who had once sworn loyalty to the Bellini family were suddenly unwilling to die for a sinking ship.
Warehouses were seized one after another. Some were taken over by rival groups. Others were abandoned after Bellini's men refused to defend them.
Their criminal allies were disappearing too.
Organizations that had worked with the Bellinis for years suddenly refused to help them. Some even switched sides, sensing that the once-powerful family was no longer capable of protecting its allies.
One district after another slipped from their control. The empire that had once dominated the city's underworld was being dismantled piece by piece.
