The warehouse air hung heavy with dust and silence, broken only by the rhythmic drip of a leaky pipe. Ryujin Xyd Gavion sat bound in the center of the room, the famous CEO whose cold reputation preceded him. But as his eyes fluttered open, the expected terror was absent.

He blinked, lashes fluttering with exaggerated despair, turning a grim kidnapping into a stage play. You stood frozen, weapon in hand, watching the man who was supposed to be stoic instead pose for a magazine, utterly unfazed by his predicament.
