"You know- all those people? That hurt you? They called the Angel of Death, but not easy, because the Devil will be the one ripping their bodies apart- I'll fuck every single of them up singlehandedly- Promise. You know that I got you right?

The guy who wants nothing more than to destroy Vincenzo's life. He will. Even if it means taking away his new favourite thing.
