His Immortal Wife Returns No Mercy for the Heavens

When I returned to the crew from the road, all I found of my master was a heap of ruined flesh.

Every bone in his body was gone. My senior brothers and sisters were nowhere to be found.

Donna Vittoria sat before his corpse, her aged voice calling out to me.

"Nara, your master traded his life for every protégé's place in the Valente family. You should go report to the Commission stronghold too."

Only then did I learn the truth. Aldric Valente, the Boss of All Bosses, had needed the Original Oaths to legitimize his wife's position at the head of the syndicate.
