Chapter 26: An Unlikely Alliance
Even if Sylas hired someone other than Georgio to carry out his assassination, it was unlikely anyone else could stand a chance against Georgio's overwhelming strength.
Rocco quickly realized the implications: even if his plan to gain Sylas's favor ultimately failed, Georgio would be his trump card to escape the Di Malvento estate.
With this ace in hand, Rocco felt a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, yes! Exactly that! If I'm ever in a dangerous situation, Georgio, you'll run away with me to someplace far away!"
Georgio's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he chuckled softly. "Huhuhu... running away together on a romantic escape... with you, Master. Mmm... that's sounds perfect," he murmured with an almost dreamy tone.
Rocco blinked, slightly caught off guard by Georgio's phrasing, but the bigger realization soon dawned: his plan to recruit Georgio had succeeded brilliantly!
The pivotal six-year-old birthday party—the starting point of his death flag in the original storyline—was fast approaching.
But now, with Georgio as his ally, Rocco felt prepared.
He had his trump card in Georgio, strong bonds with the staff stationed in the estate, and Ragar, his loyal bodyguard.
