Edgar's frown deepened as a man was brought in by two bodyguards. The fight in the room immediately ceased.

The man was forced to his knees, his hands bound behind his back. His face was bruised and swollen.

Juan, his voice as cold as ice, issued a chilling command. "Cut off the hand that did the hitting."

The man struggled frantically, his eyes wide with terror. Edgar remained silent, his gaze fixed on the unfolding scene.
