His voice came out grinding between his teeth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Impressive, Luis! You really played me! You even wiped out all my overseas assets!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everything he planned had fallen apart. Luis was not spiraling out of control. He had already spun a trap so wide and so silent, Grant never saw it coming.<\/p>\n<p>Luis barely looked at him. &#8220;I learned from the best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grant&#8217;s fists curled. His eyes burned with rage. Without thinking, he lunged forward and threw a punch at Luis.<\/p>\n<p>Luis did not even blink. He caught the blow with one hand, calm as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Grant tried yanking his arm back, but Luis&#8217;s grip held like iron.<\/p>\n<p>In one sharp move, Luis flung his arm out. Grant stumbled back, nearly losing his balance.<\/p>\n<p>Grant&#8217;s werewolf guards raised their weapons instantly. Their barrels all pointed straight at Luis.<\/p>\n<p>The guests screamed. Chaos broke out. People scrambled. The woman in the red dress collapsed to the floor, her heels slipping out from under her. Her face went pale.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron jumped in front of Luis. &#8220;You&#8217;re in Nordvale, Grant. This is not your playground!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grant slammed both palms on the table. He leaned forward, ready to attack. &#8220;I have nothing left to lose! You think I care now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Luis gave Aaron a subtle nod.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron pulled out a phone and tossed it over.<\/p>\n<p>A video began to play. A woman in her forties and a small boy were tied to chairs, crying and begging for help.<\/p>\n<p>Luis tilted his head and gave a quiet smirk. &#8220;Want them to go down with you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grant&#8217;s eyes locked onto the screen. His wife. His son. His lips pressed together. His voice dropped. &#8220;Luis. Let them go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Luis narrowed his eyes. His stare was icy. &#8220;Drop the weapons. All of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People screamed again. Furniture splintered. The room exploded into chaos.<\/p>\n<p>The enforcers and Grant&#8217;s guards clashed instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron pushed Luis out of the path of fire and forced him toward the exit.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, Luis finally opened his phone.<\/p>\n<p>One look at the screen and the calm drained from his face.<\/p>\n<p>His jaw locked. His brows furrowed. His voice was urgent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where&#8217;s the car?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aaron handed him the keys without a second of hesitation. &#8220;Front driveway. Driver&#8217;s already waiting\u2014&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before the words were out, Luis was gone. He ran past them in a blur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2525","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
