Alex's voice was low and calculated. "No, Tyler would hide inside the car till we finished our operation there. But Tyler had to keep a close eye on every activity and action taken outside, because we need to gather a lot of information concerning this."Sanya nodded thoughtfully, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "To my best opinion, I love this idea. Having Tyler stationed in the car as an observer will provide us with real-time intel, and his tech expertise will be invaluable in monitoring the surroundings."Alex nodded in agreement. "Exactly. With Tyler's eyes on the outside, we can ensure our operation runs smoothly and we don't miss any crucial details. His surveillance skills are unmatched."Sanya leaned in, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "And with the car positioned strategically, Tyler can provide cover for our exit strategy, if needed."Alex smiled, satisfied with the plan. "Alright, let's brief Tyler on his role and make sure he's equipped with the necessary g

As soon as Eric departed, four elegant women gracefully approached Smith, their confident strides commanding attention. Sanya's curiosity was piqued, assuming they were there for her. But as they drew nearer, their captivating gazes fixed on Smith, and Sanya realized they were actually vying for his attention."Pretty girls can come in to have fun," Smith declared with a disarming smile, welcoming them with an inviting gesture."Yes!" The ladies chimed in unison, their melodious voices filled with enthusiasm.As they settled into their plush seats, Smith took charge, expertly ordering drinks and sparking lively conversations. The atmosphere transformed into a vibrant, carefree haven.The ladies' eyes sparkled, captivated by Smith's magnetic charm. Sanya observed, intrigued by the dynamic unfolding before her.Sanya's gaze swept the room, her attention snapping to the entrance as Alex walked into the club. She swiftly sent him a text, her fingers dancing across her phone's screen.Fort

Sanya leaned in, a hint of excitement in her voice. "Yeah, Tyler, can we get the video footage? But before that, Alex, I have to say, you did an incredible job infiltrating the club tonight." She smiled, her eyes sparkling with admiration.Alex nodded humbly, adjusting his jacket as he replied, "Thanks, Sanya. It wasn't easy, but I managed to blend in."Tyler's gaze narrowed, his brow furrowed in concern. "Alex, did you see Smith inside?"Alex's expression turned thoughtful. "Yes, we crossed paths. We exchanged a brief nod, but that was it."Tyler's eyes locked onto Alex's, intensity building in his voice. "Did he recognize you in any way? Even subtly?"Alex hesitated, replaying the encounter in his mind. "I'm not sure. He didn't react overtly, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes. I couldn't quite read it."Sanya's interest piqued, she leaned in closer. "A flicker of something? What do you mean?"Alex's brow furrowed. "It was like... a moment of hesitation. A pause in his

Smith let out a deep, rumbling laugh, his eyes glinting with amusement as he leaned back in his plush, leather-bound chair. "Eric, you want to dare me?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm, his thick eyebrows raised in skepticism.Eric shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting around the opulent room before returning to Smith's imposing figure. "Boss, I cannot dare," he replied, his voice laced with caution, his hands clasped together in a gesture of deference.Smith's expression turned serious, his face hardened into a commanding mask. "Now, listen carefully," he instructed, his voice firm and authoritative. "I want both the lady and Stephen found and brought to my chamber immediately." As he spoke, he raised his snuffbox to his nose, inhaling the pungent aroma of his fine tobacco.The scent wafted through the air, mingling with the faint tang of leather and the soft crackle of the fireplace. Smith's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing as he awaited Eric's response. The air was heav

"Okay, I heard you and I believe you," Matthew said, his voice lowered to a conspiratorial tone.Judas nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Let's go get prepared ahead of the meet."Matthew nodded, falling into step beside Judas."Wait, are we going with Stephen?" Matthew asked, his brow furrowing in concern.Judas laughed, a low, husky sound. "So, you want to take Stephen along? And if Smith crossed us on our way, we would be defenseless?"Matthew's eyes widened, understanding dawning. "You think Stephen would be a liability?"Judas's expression turned serious. "He's not trained for this, Matthew. We can't afford to have him holding us back."Matthew nodded thoughtfully. "You're right. But who will watch our backs?""Smith would cross us?" Matthew asked, his brow furrowed in concern.Judas's expression turned grave. "Yes, he will cross us. I'm very sure of it. He's already caused a scene with Tyler, which is why he wants the meet to be private."Matthew's eyes narrowed. "W
