The Boss immediately shifted his posture, placing his massive frame squarely between Viktor and the leather couch.
“Don’t you dare look at them,” the Boss warned, his voice dropping to a terrifying register that rattled the nearby glass shelves.
Viktor raised an eyebrow, stopping his advance while keeping his posture relaxed and entirely unbothered by the drawn firearm.

Viktor’s smile faded slightly, replaced by a flash of cold resentment as he surveyed the battered state of the room.
“She broke protocol, rammed our primary security gate, and interfered with a multi-million-dollar acquisition,” Viktor stated coldly.
“She did what none of our loyal soldiers had the courage to do,” the Boss countered without a single flicker of doubt.
The light-grey-suited bodyguard kept his weapon leveled straight at Viktor’s chest, waiting for the single word to pull the trigger.

“Lower the pistol, Marcus,” Viktor commanded casually, as if he still commanded the allegiance of every man in the room.
