The film starts with the Navy SEALs

His skin seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and a bright red cut quickly appeared. Blood slowly seeped out from the wound, winding down his pale face like a ferocious little snake. The piercing pain instantly spread throughout his body, and Mike's body shook and he almost couldn't stand steadily. But he didn't dare to resist at all, and he didn't even dare to utter a curse. In the cruel and ruthless rules of the traditional mafia family, the superiors have absolute power over the life and death of the inferiors. Resistance means immediate death. The family's years of teachings and survival instinct made him choose to submit.

Veronie's anger didn't seem to be quelled by this punch, but rather it grew stronger. There was a crazy fire burning in his eyes, as if he was possessed by a demon. He seemed to be upset that Mike dared to touch his shoulder, which was a serious provocation to his authority. Then, he threw two more punches in a row, aiming precisely at Mike's stomach. These two punches were full of force, and each one hit the flesh. Mike felt as if his abdomen was hit by a heavy hammer, and his internal organs seemed to be shattered, and a wave of excruciating pain came over him. His body curled up uncontrollably, like a wounded shrimp, shaking painfully on the ground.

Ariana witnessed all this from the side, and fear and pity surged into her heart like a tide. She subconsciously covered her eyes tightly with her hands, her fingers turned white because of the force, and the joints were prominent. But she couldn't help but let out a slit between her fingers. She looked through the tiny gap and saw the inhuman torture her husband suffered, her face full of grief. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to shout, but her throat was tightly strangled by fear, and she couldn't make any sound. But she didn't dare to take a step forward to stop it, let alone make any protest. Because she knew very well that the difference in strength between the two families was huge, like the difference between heaven and earth. If she dared to make any rash moves, those wolf-like bodyguards would kill her cruelly like a dead dog without hesitation. In this dark world where the strong prey on the weak and power is supreme, they can only choose to bow down and kneel in order to survive.

"Stand up straight." Veronie's voice sounded again, with a morbid desire for control and crazy pleasure in it. He looked at Mike, who was curled up on the ground, as if he was looking at an ant that he could play with. Mike gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his body, every inch of his muscle was trembling. He stood up with difficulty, his legs were weak and shaky, but he still tried to stand up straight. At this moment, he was as humble as a grain of sand in the dust, and could only allow Veronie to humiliate and trample on him at will.

"Bang~" There was another dull sound, and Veronie's fist landed heavily on Mike's left cheek again. This punch was more powerful, and Mike's already broken wound was further torn, becoming larger and deeper. Blood flowed down his cheek like a flood, gathering into a large drop at his chin, and then dripped onto the ground with a "click", splashing small blood flowers. This scene made Ariana's eyes widen, full of fear and despair, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her heart was filled with heartache for her husband and fear for the future, but more of it was deep helplessness. In this dark world, they were like lambs to be slaughtered, powerless to resist.

But Veronie seemed to be blinded by hatred and anger, and completely fell into a state of madness. His face showed a twisted, almost insane look, as if his soul was controlled by the devil. He pulled Mike up and was ready to continue the violence. Mike's body was dragged by him limply, and he didn't dare to resist at all. Growing up in a mafia family, he had long been deeply bound by the family's harsh and cruel rules. For the superior family, he had only endless awe and fear in his heart, and dared not have the slightest idea of ​​resistance. He could only let Veronie beat him obediently, like a docile lamb facing a ferocious wolf.

However, his wife Ariana was not so submissive. Ariana did not blindly agree with the old rules of the mafia. In her heart, she had her own bottom line and principles: if anyone threatened their family, she would do everything she could to kill him. Seeing her husband being beaten to death, Ariana's anger and worry finally broke through the shackles of fear. There was a flash of determination in her eyes, that was the determination to protect her family at all costs. She decisively took out the gun, her movements were quick and neat, without any hesitation.

Before the bodyguards could react, Ariana completed a series of operations such as opening the shotgun safety at an astonishing speed. Her movements were so skillful that it was amazing, as if she had practiced them countless times. This series of actions was done in one go, like flowing water, and in this tense and depressing atmosphere, it seemed particularly neat and tidy. Then, she shot Veronie in the back without hesitation. The whole process was in a flash, no more than two seconds. It can be seen that Ariana is not only courageous, but also has undergone professional training, or has practiced privately for a long time, which is why she has such amazing reaction speed and shooting ability.

"Bang~" A deafening gunshot instantly broke the silence, echoing in this closed space for a long time. Veronie was hit by a bullet in the back, and his body shook violently, as if he was hit hard by a huge force. He rushed forward, waving his hands in the air in vain for a few times, trying to grab something to support his body, but eventually fell heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out from his back and quickly spread on the ground, forming a shocking dark red pool of blood. The color of the blood looked particularly weird and terrifying under the dim light.

When Mike saw that it was his wife who fired the gun, his heart sank instantly, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. He knew very well that what happened today was completely irreversible, and the situation had reached its worst point. The whole family might suffer a catastrophe because of this. But after all, he had been working in the mafia family for many years, and had experienced countless life and death tests, so his reaction speed was extremely fast. Almost at the same time, he immediately pulled out a pistol from his waist, and his eyes revealed a desperate and desperate ruthlessness. He pointed the gun at the burly bodyguards standing on both sides without hesitation. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to protect himself and his family and fight his way out.

The two bodyguards actually reacted very quickly. At this dangerous moment, their bodies reacted instinctively. However, they never thought that someone would dare to attack Veronie in Veronie's home under their noses. So the guns they carried were not loaded in advance. It was this critical moment that made their reaction slow down a little bit. But this short moment became the key to life and death. "Bang bang." Two crisp gunshots rang out in succession. Mike, who was already very strong and dared to lead the team to rob the virus samples, showed his amazing shooting ability and decisive action. In just over a second, he fired two shots and accurately killed the two bodyguards. The two bullets were like deadly meteors, instantly penetrating the body of the bodyguards. Their bodies shook, and then fell straight to the ground. Blood gushed out of the wounds and mixed with Veronie's blood. The ground turned blood red, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Looking at the three bodies lying on the ground, the whole place fell into deathly silence. The air seemed to freeze in an instant, making it hard to breathe. Ariana still held the gun in her hand, and her hands kept shaking. It was the fear after the shooting and the fear of unknown consequences. Her eyes were full of fear and confusion, and she seemed to not believe what she had just done. Mike frowned deeply, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He knew very well that this was just the beginning, and a greater crisis was still to come. In order to prevent the Veronie family from reacting, sending people to catch them red-handed, and brutally killing the three of them here, they must drive away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

It took them a lot of effort to move the three bodies to the car. Every time they moved a body, Mike and Ariana were filled with fear and anxiety, as if they were walking step by step into a deeper hell. Fortunately, this was Veronie's private villa. Today, only the bodyguard and he were here, and there was no one else on the scene except them. If it were Veronie's family villa, there would be strict security and complicated family forces. They would have no chance of escaping at all, and only death would be waiting for them. They drove like a black lightning on the road. The scenery on both sides passed by quickly and blurred into a piece of light and shadow. But Mike and Ariana did not feel relaxed at all. They knew that temporary escape did not mean safety, and a bigger storm was coming. Whether it was Mike or Ariana, they knew clearly that a tragic war would inevitably break out between the two families because of this incident, and Veronie's family was more powerful and powerful, like a towering mountain, difficult to shake. Once the two sides really fight, with the current strength of their family, they will all die. This is almost a cruel reality that cannot be changed.

Therefore, both of them were in a heavy mood when they got home. Sitting in the living room, the air around them seemed to be filled with despair. The room was dim, with only a faint light coming in from the window, barely illuminating their haggard faces. They were speechless, not knowing how to face the impending disaster. Time seemed to freeze, every second passed extremely long, and every breath seemed like a heavy sigh.

"You killed our whole family." It was unknown how much time had passed, and Mike had drunk nearly a bottle of red wine. The alcohol made his mind a little confused, but the pain in his heart became more intense, like a surging tide, completely drowning him. He looked at Ariana helplessly and painfully in a low and hoarse voice, his eyes full of despair and blame, as if questioning why fate was so unfair.

"No!" After several seconds, although Ariana was still very nervous and fear was hanging over her like a haze, she still gave a different answer, as if defending herself. There was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, which was an unyielding struggle against fate.

"He is the leader of the family, the boss. This matter cannot be reversed." Mike said dejectedly, his body slumped on the sofa, as if he had lost all his strength at once. Years of hard work and struggle in the mafia family seemed to vanish in this moment. His eyes were empty and confused, and he could not see a glimmer of hope.

"He deserves it. He actually dared to touch the leader of our family and my husband. In order to protect you, I must kill him." Ariana said firmly, her face full of determination. In her heart, protecting her husband and the dignity of her family is more important than anything else. That is the bottom line she sticks to, even at the cost of her life.

"Ariana, we're doomed." Mike poured himself another glass of wine, his hands trembling, and some of the wine spilled on the coffee table. His mood was at its lowest point, as if he had seen the tragic scene of his family being wiped out. The bloody scene kept appearing in his mind, making him miserable.

"The bodies can be disposed of. Money makes the world go round. You go and negotiate the deal. With that money, we can save our family." Ariana said, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. In this dark and desperate situation, she tried to grasp this last straw. The deal she was talking about was the virus. As long as she sold the virus weapons, she would have money. With money, she could expand her army and strengthen her family to fight against the Veronie family. In her opinion, this was the only hope to save the family. Although it was slim, it was their motivation to survive.

"Are you crazy?" Seeing his wife going to fight with the family, Mike looked at her with disbelief. He knew the consequences of fighting with the family. It would be an extremely tragic war. Their family would probably be wiped out in this war. But at this moment, there seemed to be no better choice.

"Am I wrong, Mike? Did I do something wrong?" Ariana asked Mike back. Her voice trembled a little and her eyes were full of expectation. She expected Mike to understand her actions. At this critical moment of life and death, they needed each other's support and understanding.

"Yes, he deserves it." Mike thought for a few seconds and realized that they had no way out. Behind them was a bottomless abyss. There might be a glimmer of hope if they went forward. The method his wife Ariana suggested was the only way to save the family. No matter how unwilling he was, for the survival of the family and the safety of his family, he had no choice but to go on.
