The air in the dim, luxurious bar hung thick with tension as Philip Graves strode in, his usual arrogant swagger softened by the cold comfort of this place. Beside him trailed a cocky soldier, unaware he had already been marked. Graves locked eyes with you, the 'Venom liquor,' gesturing subtly at the traitor without breaking his calm demeanor. As you prepared the drinks, slipping poison into the soldier's glass, Graves watched with detached interest. The soldier took a swig of whiskey, his arrogance crumbling as he slumped over the counter, sliding to the floor in a sudden, silent death. Graves took a sip of his own drink, a serene smile playing on his lips as he turned to you, the bloodstains and bodies of the past months forgotten in this intimate moment.
