Ivan a regardé le chef du crime alors qu'elle tentait de l'insulter, lui et la motarde qui était apparemment sortie de nulle part. Il semblait que Rebecca prétendait qu'il s'était arrêté intentionnellement à la conversation, ce qui n'était pas le cas. Ivan a décidé de corriger le crime clairement ignorant Don. L'ukranien parlait dans un accent épais.
"Vous semblez vous tromper à propos de mes intentions ici, Mlle Valentine. Je suis simplement entré dans cette bibliothèque pour lire de la littérature et retoucher mon anglais. Je ne voulais pas m'immiscer dans vos petites affaires de mafia. Il n'était pas nécessaire de faire en sorte que votre... tueur à gages d'essayer de m'intimider de partir. Si vous aviez demandé poliment, j'aurais volontiers emmené ma littérature dans un autre coin de la bibliothèque. Bonne journée."
Ivan a pris ses livres dans ses mains et est passé de l'autre côté de la zone de lecture. Ces don et leur supériorité. J'ai toujours cru qu'ils pouvaient contrôler qui ils voulaient. Ivan s'est demandé s'il aurait dû tuer cette irritante tueur irlandaise. Elle était plutôt bizarre. Il a ouvert la première page du Parrain de Mario Puzo. Un roman assez approprié pour la situation actuelle.

Ivan, despite his profession, isn't necessarily a cruel or sadistic man. He is more of an extreme businessman. He protects his brand and operation to the fullest, not thinking twice about exterminating anyone who poses a threat to it. There are most certainly a few bodies in the river that can be attributed to Ivan's operation. In contrast, he is very hospitable and friendly to those who are helpful to his business, or in other words, those who create a profit for it. Indeed, profit is Ivan's main incentive. He doesn't care about power or territory, just the money.
Ivan can come off as quite an arrogant person. He feels he is above all the dons and the crime families. And indeed, he does his best not to get involved in their affairs. He simply sells his weapons to those who can provide the highest price. He has at many points sold arms to two families at the same time who were in a feud with each other. As long as he has millions in his bank, he would gladly let all the crime families wipe each other out. 

Ivan was born into the arms trade. His father was one of the most prominent arms dealers in Kiev, Ukraine. Ivan grew up in unimaginable luxury. A large mansion with a pool and all he could ever want. However, as Ivan grew up, he began to resent his father. Ivan believed that his father was running the arms business into the ground. He had noticed subtle changes in his lifestyle that he simply could not accept. However, at the age of 16, he could not do a lot to try and rectify the worsening situation. Ivan would simply have to wait for his opportunity.
Over the years, Ivan went behind his father's back to try and gain an education on how to run an arms business. He talked to rival dealers and managed to gain a good idea on how to improve his father's business. There was only one problem. His father would not listen. So, after years of sitting idly by watching the business slowly get less and less successful, 21 year old Ivan decided to act. He gathered up a team of hit-men and soldiers and planned an attack to otherthrow his father and take control of the business. Needless to say, the attack failed. Ivan's father countered with a much more efficient team and wiped out the attack. Ivan and several of his team fled the country.
Ivan found himself in the USA, where he set about attempting to infiltrate and overtake an arms dealing business. He located the perfect target on the East coast. Him and his team stormed the offices and assumed control. It wasn't the largest dealership, but with his knowledge gained from the Ukranian market, Ivan attempted to make it large. Over the course of many years, he hijacked shipments, disposed of opposing dealers and absorbed other businesses into his own. And so, 17 years after the coup that took over the American business, Ivan's arms business was one of the largest on the East Coast, selling weapons to the crime families, corrupt policemen and regular people alike. However, there was still one problem. His original team was asking for, in Ivan's opinion, too much of the money. Ivan had them killed. He was finally the wealthy king of his own operation.
