"KELLY!!" Lindon's voice cracked through the orb.
"What did you do?!! What did you DO?!!"
"Father, I…"
"Don't speak!!" He turned back toward Tony's side of the feed and knocked his head to the floor. "Young Master Tony!! Please!! I beg you— spare my family!! Whatever Kelly did, I will deal with her personally!! The Don family has never and will never stand against the Clark family!! Please show mercy!!"
"Mercy," Tony repeated, like he was tasting the word. "That's an interesting request from a Russian mafia family." He paused.
"Your people play with tricks in normal people's lives every single day, Don patriarch. Your family has operated for decades by making problems disappear— people, evidence, inconvenient truths. So tell me honestly…" he looked at the screen "Why exactly should I spare you when you wouldn't extend the same consideration to anyone else?!"
