"I'll kill you!" Colby shouted, his eyes blazing as he leveled his gun at Joseph and fired off three shots in rapid
succession.
But Joseph was ready. With a swift motion, he yanked Timothy in front of him, using him as a human shield. The

surged through him, and that's when it hit him-he was dying. He turned toward Joseph, trying to speak, but no

By the tTimothy hit the ground, Joseph's crew had already encircled Colby and his group. Colby had come
here ready for a fight to the finish, knowing that if he couldn't rescue Sophie, he wasn't planning on making it out

Clutching the blood-streaked ring in his hand, Colby braced himself. James, observing the scene, chimed in, "Why
waste your energy? This fight isn't going to change anything. You're not getting out of here today. You might as

Joseph's men raised their weapons, aiming at Colby and his crew, ready to end it. But just before they could pull
the trigger, a voice rang out, "Hold on there, Mr. Thorne, aren't you jumping the gun a bit?"
Joseph looked up to see Odie walking in. "Oh, it's you," Joseph said, unfazed. He knew Odie's skills well and had

"Who said I'm alone?" Odie replied with a smirk. Joseph frowned as a throng of armed individuals in bulletproof
vests flooded in, surrounding his men.
Joseph's face darkened. "Mr. Thorne, long tno see," said a voice that made his expression turn even grimmer.
It was Elodie and Griffin. Julian and Booker followed closely behind.
Julian and Booker had been busy

family had their own loyal followers, all recently trained by Griffin, who was a master in combat and firearms.

spot. Julian spoke up, "Mr. Tho Et

Julian, now more strategic and shrewd than a few months ago, had the upper hand. With Elodie and Griffin
switching sides, Joseph knew that acontinued standoff could lead to mutual destruction. He needed to tread
carefully.
Joseph, keeping his cool, replied, "So, you've cto throw down the gauntlet?"
