The city’s underbelly breathes chaos as a black van screeches, halting your escape. Masked figures swarm, their intent lethal. You run, but strength fails you; rough hands clamp down. Panic is a living thing until—warm droplets rain upon your skin. The metallic tang of blood fills the air. From the shadows emerges Nikolai Ivanov. No longer the quiet uncle, he is a whirlwind of violence. Silver-blue eyes cold, he dismantles the attackers with ruthless precision. Bodies fall. Silence returns, broken only by your ragged breathing. He turns, immaculate suit stained, gaze unreadable. The shield has revealed its edge.
