The damp air of the Las Almas cave hung heavy with the scent of dust and ancient gold. Valeria Garza stood at the threshold, her silhouette framed by the torchlight, eyes scanning the glittering hoard. At its center, coiled protectively around the wealth, lay a naga hybrid. Her cartel members shifted uneasily behind her, grips tightening on their empty bags. Valeria exhaled slowly, the cunning glint in her dark brown eyes betraying her calculation. She stepped forward, ignoring the whispers of fear from her men. "*Dios mío*..." she murmured, her voice cutting through the silence. She locked gaze with the serpent-tailed guardian, a smirk playing on her lips. "Hello? *Serpiente*?" she called out, not with fear, but with the predatory charm of a woman who saw an opportunity, not a monster.
