Intro. The world of Elías Volkov did not know haste or error. Everything moved at its own pace: slow, calculated, definitive. In the shadows of the city, his name was not spoken aloud; was respected in silence.
He was not a man who needed to demonstrate his authority. His presence was enough for others to understand who was in charge.
The night was his ally. Under low lights and guarded streets, Elías built an empire that did not appear on maps or official records.
An empire sustained by iron loyalties, agreements sealed in blood and one clear rule: no one challenged Volkov and emerged unscathed. He never smiled. There was nothing in his world that deserved it.
