Third Person POV
Giuseppe was in his office doing some paper work when his phone vibrated on his desk, he held it up and checked the caller ID. "Go ahead." He said to the person on the other side of the phone.
"Everything's ready." The caller said.
"On my way." Giuseppe said and hung up the phone.
He switched his computer off, stood up, grabbed his jacket and phone and headed towards the door. "Is my father in his office?" He asked his PA as he looked at his wrist watch.
"No, sir. Mr. Knights headed home a while ago." She replied.
"Thank you, you can have the rest of the day off." He told her, kindly before he walked away.
He knew his father would most probably be home by this time but he wanted to make sure, the father he came to know and look up to in the past few years wouldn't miss his daughter nap time. The little hyper girl had the whole household around her tiny fingers, especially her father who was extra protective of her.

Giuseppe tuned the engine of his flashy sports car off when he reached his destination and moved out of it. He locked it up and put the keys in one of one of his pants pockets before fishing another key out.
He headed to the beautiful pearl flat stardust white Kawasaki motorcycle that was parked few feet away from where he parked his car.
Giuseppe mounted the motorcycle and put his helmet on before he hit the road.
He didn't want anybody to know where he was going or get tracked down, so he left his car where he did so that the GPS only leads to that certain point which indicates nothing but that he wanted to take a walk in the city outskirts. He doesn't know if he's monitored or not, but there's a high chance he's not because of how careful he is. However he's a strong believer of better safe than sorry.
Once Giuseppe reached his final destination, one of the guards opened the door of the warhorse for him, and he went a bit further into it before he turned to the left and parked his motorcycle there.
He advanced towards the group of men in the far corner of the warehouse after he was finished, only for a man who seems to be in his middle thirties to come running towards him which gained the rest of the men's attention who immediately went silent before all of them bowed slightly in respect towards him.
"Where are they?" Giuseppe asked the man who came to him.
"We put them in the room in the back." He answered.
"Let's go then." Said Giuseppe.
"Sir, I must warn you one last time-"
"Keep your warning for yourself, Sam." Giuseppe cut the man off. "You're here to do what I say when I say it, not to question my orders." Giuseppe said calmly, but Sam knew better than to get deceived by his calm and collected tone. He's most dangerous when he uses that tone in particular.
The afraid boy he was assigned to few years ago, turned into a ruthless man on multiple levels. He was endowed with a tremendous physical strength and a killer brain. He turned into the man his mother wanted him to be. Strong, independent, respected, and feared.
Ironically enough, the same mother who wanted to see him independent and strong enough to protect himself and his sister, was unable to see just how far he exceeded her expectations even though he was right under her nose.
"Young master, my job also entitles being your advisor, meaning I'm to tell when I see you doing something dangerous or irrational." Sam disagreed.
"I'm not a fool, Sam, I know what an advisor is, and I also know what I'm doing. I don't need you nagging me about what to do and how to do it." Giuseppe said while looking at his right hand man.
"Your mother wouldn't appreciate it."
"My mother doesn't remember a thing from before 4 years ago. Her identity got wiped along her memories, so I'm not sure which version of my mother are talking about because the one I who adopted me would most definitely appreciate how I turned out to be." Giuseppe told him.
"But would she appreciate you putting yourself in harms way? Especially when you still haven't reached the intended-"
"I'm more than capable of taking care of myself, I know my limits." Giuseppe said, cutting Sam off once again. "Now enough of this fruitless conversation, let's get this finished with I need to be home before Ela wakes up from her nap." He told him when he saw he was about to open his mouth to argue with him.
"Right this way, sir." Sam ushered.
Giuseppe followed him to the room where a group of twenty men sat chained to chairs, all blindfolded and mouths taped. Except for three of them who were isolated on a different part of the room, and chained to three pillars on that side. The chains dangling from above their heads were extremely high compared to their hight that their fingertips barely touched the floor.
They seemed to be in extreme pain from their continuous squirming, but neither their captors nor Giuseppe cared about their discomfort.
Giuseppe advanced to one of the three men and stood right in front of him before he undid his blindfold and unfastened the tape that was around his mouth.
While the man the man spent a while to get his eyes to adjust to the light, Giuseppe signed to two of his men to free the two others to which they obliged immediately.
"Hello, Jeffrey!" Giuseppe said to the man he was standing in front of.
"W- who are you?" The man asked.
"I'm hurt, Jeffry. You don't know who am I?" Giuseppe said in mock hurt.
"Who the fuck are you!" Jeffrey yelled, terrified.
"I know you though." Giuseppe said, all hints of humour vanished, leaving his face stone cold and expressionless. "I remember every detail of your face. Each of your faces actually, but yours especially." He said looking at the two other men before fixing his gaze at Jeffrey.
"P- please, please just spare me." Begged the man when he saw the look that overtook Giuseppe's features.
"It's no fun, if you're begging already." Giuseppe said. "I spent years tracking you down, sometimes I would be so restless to meet you that I couldn't sleep at night. I was more exited about meeting you again than I did my biological father." Giuseppe said menacingly, the look on his eyes could frighten the toughest of men. It was so dangerously psychotic than any serial killer.
"I'm not about to let you ruin that excitement for me after all those years." Giuseppe told the man before he untied his hands from the pillar.
