Callum shook his head fearfully. "You don't understand how skilled Mr. Iverson's ten high-level Tradecrafters are. You joined too late to know the past-those who tried to overthrow Mr. Iverson were all found tragically dead. He's ruthless, and I can't risk it." Seeing Callum hesitate and knowing he wouldn't dare challenge Waylon, Sage reluctantly agreed. "Fine, we won't go after Mr. Iverson, but we can't let Jasper take over Larry's faction's business. We may not touch Mr. Iverson, but we can..." Sage's words hung in the air, and Callum immediately understood the implication. After a moment's contemplation, he nodded, a scheme forming in his mind to eliminate Jasper and seize control of Kaiden's business.

As the two conversed, the female attendant serving them subtly raised her head, her sharp gaze locking onto Callum and Sage.

The next moment, deafening gunshots echoed through the room. Callum clutched his bleeding arm, staring in disbelief at the female attendant. If Sage hadn't reacted quickly, shoving him aside, the bullet would have struck his heart. Chaos erupted in the room. The female attendant swiftly aimed her gun back at Callum. Realizing the imminent danger, Sage scrambled to find something to shield himself with, shouting, "Protect the faction leader!" Despite his frantic calls, the guards at the door remained unresponsive. The female attendant unleashed a barrage of gunfire, transforming the private room into a chaotic nightmare!

The deafening shots echoed through the building, but in the neighboring dining room, Yvette paused for a moment, her fork hovering in midair. Then, unbothered, she continued eating as if nothing had happened. Jeremiah, equally unaffected, kept his expression neutral, his blue eyes betraying no emotion. One by one, Chris, Emmett, and Bruce slowly set down their utensils, thinking, 'Such rapid gunfire-this is no minor incident...' Emmett spoke with a grim tone. "Mr. Chavez, this shootout is as bold as it gets."

In Ybaulla, where underworld activities ran rampant and were almost a matter of course, even a shootout at a five-star resort wasn't particularly shocking.

Compared to Clusia, it seemed as though the criminal forces worldwide were far more pervasive,

Chris nodded, his expression darkening. "That level of gunfire... the shooter's intentions are clear-this isn't just a warning, it's an execution."

Frankie chuckled lightly, adding, "Talk about luck-walking right into a gunfight as soon as we arrive. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket later; seems like I might hit the jackpot today."
