Alex nodded, his expression determined. "I understand, Dad. But if we can get Richard to cooperate, we might finally have the evidence we need to bring Dexter down."
James couldn't help but feel a surge of pride for his son's quick thinking. "You're smarter than your twin, Alex," he said with a small smile. "But remember, don't overact your role. We need to handle this with finesse."
Alex straightened up, his resolve evident in his eyes. "I won't, Dad. I'll be careful."

Several other men were in the room, each holding a gun, their faces set with grim determination. “What are you doing?” Richard asked, his voice trembling as he caught sight of the item in the briefcase, which looked alarmingly like a bomb. “I’m about to send you all to the devil,” James scoffed, his tone dripping with malicious disdain.

They've served their purpose and it's time to look into the bigger picture,”Julio's respect for Lee Chan had always been massive seeing how much he reasoned like himself.
