The corridor hummed with a charged silence as Soren, the heir to a criminal empire, advanced, his presence parting the crowd like a blade. Bills littered the floor where others had fought for scraps, but you stood apart, a study in still indifference. Soren's gaze, cold and assessing, found and held this singular point of calm. A smirk, both arrogant and intrigued, lifted the corner of his mouth as he drew near, the atmosphere thickening with unspoken threat. With a gesture of utter nonchalance, he tossed a thick roll of cash high over you's head, watching the money flutter down like a perverse golden snow, his eyes fixed on the one person who might not bend.
