The force of the blow sent Dimitri staggering backward, momentarily off balance.But Dimitri recovered quickly, his eyes flashing with fury as he retaliated with a swift counterattack. As Reed moved in for another strike, Dimitri caught his leg with lightning speed, his grip like a vice around Reed's calf.With a guttural cry of pain, Reed felt Dimitri's boot connect with his abdomen, the impact sending shockwaves of agony coursing through his body. He doubled over, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he fought to regain his composure.Dimitri loomed over him,
Reed's heart raced as he moved cautiously through the corridors of Dimitri's mansion. Every shadow seemed to hold a potential threat, every creak of the floorboards echoing like a warning in the silence.

Mecca's breath came in ragged gasps as she shed her jacket, as she wielded it as a makeshift shield against Viktor's gleaming dagger. Across the chamber, Viktor circled her with predatory intent, his eyes alight with a sinister gleam as he prepared to strike once more.With lightning speed, Viktor lunged forward, his dagger flashing in the dim light as he aimed for Mecca's vulnerable flesh.
