As they made their way to the mob boss’s house, Kyle took a moment to offer Alexander some last-minute advice.

“Alright, listen up,” Kyle began, his tone serious. “First of all, when you’re talking to Elviro, be direct. Don’t beat around the bush or try to deceive him. He respects honesty, so always speak the truth if you can.”

Alexander nodded, taking in Kyle’s words. “Got it,” he replied, his voice determined.

Alexander squared his shoulders, steeling himself for the encounter ahead. “Thanks for the advice, Kyle. I’ll keep it all in mind.”
