I still work with men who run the mob, drug empires, etc.

And because of that, I need ways to make them money. Sometimes, it’s just a way to clean the dirt from it. Other times, it serves a bigger purpose, and I need to find riskier investments that pay more.

Take my latest scheme.

I am about to short Torenzo Corp, a stock we all have been priming for the kill.

Due to a certain health code violation about to become public record, the stock will plummet, and we’re set to make a huge fortune.

The assholes who own it won’t know what hit them.

It’s going to be fucking fantastic.

The best part is, Lorenzo will get his revenge, and in the meantime, until he does, my clients will earn a windfall.

Now, we just got to sit back and wait for the article I carefully placed to hit social media.

“I anticipate, by the end of the day, with the amount Tobias has in, he will be worth nine hundred million. Is that enough for him to retire?”

“Make him a billionaire, and I’m sure the answer will be yes.” His voice is serious, but I still let out a chuckle.

These bastards and their money.

I’m not one to talk, but fuck. I would be happy with that gain.

Since Tobias came onboard, I have gotten him a return on his investment north of two hundred percent.

Again . . . Greedy bastards.

“You’re a tough man to please, Cyrus.”

“Good thing you’re on my good side. Imagine how hard I am to please if I hate your ass.”

“I’m not one hundred percent sure you don’t.”

“I tolerate you, at best.”

Say what you want, but I know Cyrus considers me a brother, and not just because technically he is now.

We’ve gone to battle together. You don’t live through the shit we have and not come out caring.

Regardless of how corrupt and ruthless you are.

The man is family, with or without my sister.

“When do you think the article will go viral?” he asks.

I lift my hand and run it over my jaw. “If I had to harbor a guess, within the hour.”

“Paul is going to be pissed.” He chuckles.

“Pissed is an understatement. His one chance at legitimacy is a complete joke. No one wants his damn sauce and taking it public was a dumb move. The second the story leaks about what is in the sauce, he will wish he never fucked with Lorenzo.”

Lorenzo is a fairly new client for me. He took over the mob after another client of mine, the former mafia head Matteo Amanté, stepped down.

Paul made a play at him when he first took over and tried to ruin him before he even started, but that’s a whole other story. One I don’t even know the half of. Probably won’t ever either.

Not my fucking problem.
