Chaos erupts as Antonio's faction opens fire. Romeo and Julian, along with Sofia and a few loyal allies, fight back, trying to protect themselves and their proposal for peace. The shootout is intense, and they are outnumbered.

Julian is injured in the crossfire, a bullet grazing his shoulder. Romeo rushes to his side, helping him take cover behind a stack of crates. Despite the pain, Julian insists on continuing, refusing to give up now.

As the battle rages, Romeo spots an opportunity. He convinces Sofia to lead a small group around to flank Antonio's men, creating a diversion. It works, and they manage to take down Antonio's key lieutenants, leaving him vulnerable.

In a final confrontation, Romeo and Julian face Antonio. Desperate and cornered, Antonio tries to bargain for his life, but Romeo knows he can't be trusted. Instead, they disarm him and hand him over to the remaining members of the Benedetti family, who decide to deal with him in their own way.
