Victoria thought she was the one who conquered the New York underworld. She did not know that every step of this throne was paved for her with blood by Leon Carter. To repay the late Godfather for saving his life, Leon guarded her for a full ten years, shouldering ninety-nine mistakes for her and sweeping away all enemies blocking the way. But power made Victoria suspicious, and under Julian's instigation, she stripped Leon of his military command, territory, and dignity, finally exhausting the one hundredth chance with her own hands. After Leon turned and left, the Moretti empire quickly spiraled out of control: rival families staged a comeback, allies defected one after another, and former subordinates bared their fangs. Until the throne was about to collapse, Victoria horrifyingly discovered that the person she drove away was never a subordinate, but the man who propped up her entire empire.
