After leaving Lucas, I visited Valerio's workshop to gear up, where I selected a rifle and a sawed-off shotgun. After helping Isabella carrying a heavy crate, I headed to the villa's garage, chose a high-speed Carrozella Nero without spending any dinari, and set off to meet Tino at the lookout.
After Lucas finished his conversation with his wife, I followed him out of the building. As we walked, he warned Enzo to be careful with his words around the estate and asked if he was truly ready for the task ahead.
Soon after, Valerio approached us, and Lucas mentioned that Enzo needed to prepare for a serious assignment. Valerio told us he would be waiting in his workshop and suggested sending Enzo over.
I began following Valerio, hoping he would provide some heavy firepower to ensure the job went smoothly.
I stepped into the workshop, where Valerio explained that he kept all his tools stored away. He remarked that if I was here for grown-up business, he had precisely what I needed.
The room contained various weapons, and Valerio invited me to look around, pick whatever suited me, and then speak with him when I was ready. I began examining the stock, though I felt a bit disappointed to discover nothing entirely new compared to what I had used before.
Still, I appreciated the freedom to take whatever I wanted without restriction.
I picked up a new rifle to ensure I had solid range for any upcoming firefights. Next, I grabbed a sawed-off shotgun sitting directly on the workbench in front of Valerio.
I scanned the shelves for explosives or a high-caliber sniper rifle with a proper scope, but came up empty-handed, which felt surprisingly lacking for a Don's personal compound.
Once I had gathered my loadout, I spoke with Valerio again. He advised me to secure a vehicle, noting that our upcoming target location would likely shoot back, making a car far more practical than a horse.
On my way to find a vehicle, I encountered Isabella, who asked if I could carry a heavy wooden crate for her. I gladly obliged, following her while lifting the load. Enzo asked about the contents, and Isabella explained that it contained equipment for still life photography.
I carried the crate over and placed it onto the table as she requested. They shared a brief, quiet conversation about their relationship, reassuring each other that Isabella's father remained completely unaware and that they were safe for the time being.
Enzo mentioned they would talk more later before leaving her behind to focus on his mission.
Heading toward the vehicle area, I found Cesare attempting to repair Gennaro's car, which had been badly wrecked during the previous encounter. Enzo explained that he needed to borrow a vehicle, and Cesare directed him toward the main garage.
I walked over to inspect the available fleet. The garage allowed me to select three models for free, alongside several other vehicles available for purchase with dinari.
Unwilling to spend my money right away, I chose the Carrozella Nero, a sleek car boasting top-tier acceleration and handling stats.
Satisfied with my choice, I drove the vehicle out of the garage, ready to head outside the villa grounds to meet Tino at the designated lookout point.
To be continued.
