Tony and his group, which included Gary, Axel, and Zach, had succeeded in taking out the power supply in the entire building, plunging the Empire State Hotel into darkness.The task was relatively easy, all thanks to Richmond Wright giving them a thorough overview of the entire hotel building, including the power station.Tony had the blueprints of the hotel memorized. They sneaked into the basement where the main power controls were located.Gary, the tech guy, swiftly cut the main power lines while Axel and Zach stood guard, ready for any interference.As the lights sparked and then went out, Tony smiled and signaled his group to move out. They knew the darkness would create chaos and confusion, making it easier for the next part of their plan.“Good job, guys,” Tony whispered. “Now let’s get back to our meeting point and wait for Group 2 to do their thing.”Immediately the lights were out, Hank and his group, which comprised Vince, Roy, and Deke, were ready for action. Their job wa

Back at the Empire State Hotel, all the guests and workers were gathered in one place in the ballroom.Big Joe and his boys ordered everyone to switch off their phones, make no phone calls, and lie down with their faces to the ground. Big Joe, pacing around the room, barked orders, "Everyone, heads down! No one moves, no one talks unless I say so!"The frightened guests and workers complied, trembling as they lay on the ground. Some whispered prayers, while others just sobbed quietly.Big Joe’s boys walked around, ensuring everyone stayed down, occasionally kicking someone to enforce compliance.Big Joe started to engage the hostages in conversation. "Who’s the manager?" He demanded, his voice echoing through the room.Everyone kept quiet, too scared to speak. A few began pleading, "Please, don’t hurt us. We’re just guests here."Big Joe grew impatient. "I asked a question! Who's the manager here?"After a moment of silence, Mr. Hughes, trembling, indicated that he was the manager. “

In the quiet of the room, Daisy was already thinking of how she could get Franklin to drink the supplement. She had to be very careful, so she started by pretending to be worried about him and everything that had just happened. "Franklin," Daisy said softly while still sitting close to him on the bed, "I'm so scared. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you. You've been so strong through all this, but you need to relax and take care of yourself too."Franklin looked at her, his face tired and stressed. "I know, Daisy. It's been a rough night. But I need to stay sharp, just in case anything else happens."Daisy nodded, her face showing concern, but inside, she was already planning her next move. "Of course," she said, "but at least have something to drink. It'll help you calm down." She reached for a bottle of wine on the table. "Let me pour you a glass."Franklin hesitated. "I don't think I should be drinking right now. I need to keep a clear head."Daisy smiled swee

As Conor and his security team stormed into the ballroom at Empire State Hotel, everyone in the room froze in their place.The guests and workers, who were already scared, looked even more terrified. Their eyes were wide with fear, and some of them started to tremble.The room was silent except for the sound of people shifting nervously.Big Joe’s boys, who had been acting tough, suddenly seemed scared. Their hands tightened around their guns, and a few of them exchanged worried looks.They hadn’t expected someone like Conor to show up with such a strong team. Conor’s men were clearly well-trained, and their entrance was intimidating.Seeing his men start to lose their nerve, Big Joe quickly moved in front of them. He wanted to remind them who was in charge. "Stand your ground," he growled in a low, firm voice. "We’re still in control here. Don’t forget who you’re with."His words seemed to help a little, as the boys stood up straighter, but there was still a hint of fear in their eye

On the other side of the room, Big Joe was tougher than the others. He fired at Conor himself with rage. "Come on! Let’s finish this!" he shouted.Conor was ready. He dodged the bullet and fired back, the shot grazing Big Joe’s arm.Big Joe roared in anger, charging at Conor like a bull. They collided in the middle of the room, each trying to overpower the other."You think you can take me down?" Big Joe growled, landing a punch on Conor’s side.Conor gritted his teeth against the pain, responding by kneeing Big Joe in the stomach.Big Joe doubled over, and Conor grabbed him, throwing him against a table. The table shattered under Big Joe’s weight, leaving him gasping on the floor.Nick, one of Big Joe’s men, tried to sneak up on Conor, but another of Conor’s men, Randy, saw him coming."Not so fast," Randy muttered, quickly aiming and firing a shot. The bullet hit Nick in the thigh, and Nick screamed in pain, collapsing to the ground. He tried to crawl away, but Randy wasn’t about to
