That morning, Matteo came to the Red Velvet restaurant as usual, owned by Paolo Millano. The boss of one of the largest mafia families in the city of Fallen Star. Thirty-seven-year-old Paolo was respected by everyone, even his enemies, he was charismatic, smart, fair and honest. He had his own principles and rules, which he always followed. Paolo treated all the guys working for him well, he liked to joke and tease them in a good-natured way, but he never allowed himself to be disrespected. The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm, the customers were eating breakfast or just chatting quietly, and the girls were throwing playful glances at the guys working for Paolo. Upon entering the building, Matteo was immediately greeted by his best friend and colleague David.

— Hey, Matt! You're later than usual today.
