As Mr. Shawn faced the window, his silhouette cast in sharp relief against the fading light of dusk, Mr. Dwayne's eyes widened in alarm as he watched the man reach into his pocket. A cold dread settled in the pit of his stomach as Mr. Shawn withdrew a gun, its sleek metal gleaming ominously in the dim light.With a steady hand, Mr. Shawn pointed the gun directly at Mr. Dwayne, his expression devoid of emotion as he cocked the weapon with a menacing click. The message was clear: there would be no mercy, no reprieve. Only the cold, unforgiving finality of death.For Mr. Dwayne, the realization was like a punch to the gut, his breath catching in his throat as he stared down the barrel of the gun. In that moment, he knew that his fate hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of oblivion.But even as fear gripped him like a vice, a spark of defiance ignited within him, a stubborn refusal to surrender to despair.

Mr. Shawn's words echoed in the tense silence that enveloped the room, his voice a solemn testament to the bond he shared with the late Mr. Richard Merald Young. As he spoke, a flicker of nostalgia danced in his eyes, a fleeting glimpse of the cherished memories that lingered in the recesses of his mind. "Mr. Richard was the richest man in the country, and second in the continent," Mr. Shawn began, his tone reverent as he spoke of his former employer. "But despite all the wealth he possessed, he never bragged or looked down on anyone. Not even me, his lawyer." A wistful smile tugged at the corners of Mr. Shawn's lips as he recalled the years of camaraderie and mutual respect that had defined their relationship. "We knew ourselves for over two decades now," he continued, his voice tinged with nostalgia. "He was a humble and free boss to me, a mentor and a friend.

"Leave them out of this. This is between me and you." His gaze bore into Mr. Shawn's with unwavering intensity, a silent challenge echoing in the depths of his eyes."Face me like a man," he continued, his words a gauntlet thrown down before his adversary.

Not without a fight."As Mr. Dwayne spoke, a sense of righteous anger surged within him, fueling his determination to stand firm against the tide of adversity.

As Mr. Shawn's words hung heavy in the air, a palpable sense of dread settled over Mr. Dwayne like a suffocating shroud. The mention of his parents sent a shiver down his spine, the image of their faces flashing before his mind's eye with startling clarity. He could picture them now, the lines of worry etched into their weathered features, their eyes clouded with concern as they waited anxiously for news of their son."I know exactly where your parents live," Mr. Shawn continued, his voice a sinister whisper that seemed to seep into the very marrow of Mr. Dwayne's bones. "To be precise, they live in Portland, Oregon. I have every single detail about them."The weight of Mr. Shawn's threat hung heavy in the air, the implication clear: any attempt to defy him would result in dire consequences for Mr. Dwayne's beloved parents.

Gunther's fingers hovered over the screen of his smartphone as he scrolled through the notification from Miss Jane. He had never met his father's manager before, never had reason to interact with her during Mr. Richard's lifetime. Yet, here she was, reaching out to him now in the wake of his father's passing.The email seemed innocuous enough at first glance, a simple request for a meeting to discuss Mr. Richard's affairs.
