Over the next few weeks, Stephen worked tirelessly to come up with a new plan. He knew that the Mafia needed to strike back at the police and other agencies, but he also knew that they couldn't afford another failure like the last one.
Finally, he had an idea. He would launch a series of targeted attacks on key police officers and government officials, using hit squads to take them out one by one. It was a risky plan, but Stephen was confident that it would work.
He contacted the other dons and presented his plan to them. Some were skeptical, but most agreed that it was their best option. They began to prepare their soldiers and gather the necessary weapons and equipment.
The attacks began a few days later. The hit squads struck at night, using surprise and precision to take out their targets before disappearing into the shadows. The police were caught off guard, and panic began to spread among the ranks.
But as the attacks continued, Stephen began to realize that there was a problem. The hit squads were taking too long to regroup and plan their next move, and they were leaving too much evidence behind. The police were getting better at tracking them, and it was only a matter of time before they caught up.
Stephen knew that they needed to change tactics again. He decided to focus on infiltrating the police and other agencies, using bribes and intimidation to gain access to sensitive information and sabotage their operations from within.
It was a risky move, but Stephen was convinced that it was their only hope. He personally oversaw the operation, and within weeks, they had successfully infiltrated several key departments and were well on their way to causing chaos from within.
As Stephen sat in his office, reviewing the latest reports, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Despite the setbacks and failures, the Mafia was still standing strong. They had adapted and evolved, and were now more dangerous than ever. Stephen knew that there were still many challenges ahead, but he was ready to face them head-on. He was his father's son, and he would stop at nothing to ensure that the Mafia remained the most powerful force in the city.
