Jack chuckled softly. He didn't seem flustered or angry, maintaining his earlier poise. But his expression and posture clearly conveyed, "Go ahead, I dare you." Arthur grew more furious at his calm, arrogant stance.

Surely, no no one in Gret Eager to see Darren get what he deserved, Arthur snapped his fingers. Jack and several burly bodyguards immediately approached Darren and surrounded him. Just as they were about to make a move, the sound of lively footsteps echoed down the stairs, accompanied by a rather off-key singing voice.
