"Sir, we can handle this. I assure you, he won't be able to disrupt our operations," a young man confidently declared, positioned directly in front of Frederick Blackwood, the notorious and ruthless mayor infamous in the underground world for his involvement in countless illicit schemes. Blackwood, now plotting his grandest venture yet, sought not only one distraction—the arrival of the vigilante known as The Shadow.

Inside, his trusted accomplices were already seated around a gra

After mustering every ounce of strength he had left, Damien Malone pressed on, navigating through the facility's underground passageways. The cylindrical structure of the hallway hinted at its subterranean location. Illuminated by bright lights, he was accompanied by Sebastian, whose weary face showed years of wisdom, and who used a crutch to support himself. Sebastian, also known as The Oracle, walked steadfastly by Damien's side, his eyes locked onto their destination, a door at the end of the hallway, signaling their imminent exit.As they approached the door, Damien couldn't help but notice the seven bodyguards stationed outside. They were armed to the teeth, clad in matching black camo suits with sunglasses integrated into their faces and soldier helmets adorning their heads.

The blistering sun cast its scorching rays upon the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the facility's imposing structure.In the distance, an impressive squadron of sleek fighter jets was meticulously lined up on the tarmac, their polished frames reflecting the sunlight with a captivating gleam. These formidable aerial machines stood as a testament to the technological prowess and military might harbored within the walls of Nexus.

"I won't let Damien become richer than me. I will never surrender to him," Robert thought as he stepped out of his sleek, midnight blue Tesla Model S, its polished chrome accents gleaming under the morning sun. He handed the car keys to the valet, who wore a sharp, well-tailored uniform and greeted Robert with a nod and a warm smile.Dressed in an elegant brown pinstripe suit, the fine fabric exuded the unmistakable scent of success, perfectly complemented by his handcrafted Italian leather shoes. He adjusted his tie, making sure it was impeccable, and quickened his pace toward the towering high-rise building.As he crossed the bustling ground floor, filled with visitors and employees, he couldn't help but overhear snippets of conversations about the remarkable success of his company and his iconic five-star hotel.

"Chairman, it's an absolute honor to have you here today. I must say, we were all thrilled when we heard that you acquired the Verrazzano Bridge on your way here," The Oracle exclaimed, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "Of course, we were slightly concerned that you might close down the bridge to us low-class folks.

Damien inquired eagerly, his eyes scanning the vicinity. "I was expecting a grand reception, more than just your usual guards," he added, nodding towards the ten armed guards stationed near the main entrance.The Oracle nodded,
