Seated in the car, Pedro pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number. After a few rings, the familiar voice of one of his men came through.

“Hello, Boss?”

“Where is Lily right now?” Pedro asked, his voice sharp and to the point.

“Boss, Miss Lily is still at the studio,” the bodyguard replied.

“And Ethan? Is he there?”

“No, Boss. He’s not around,” the bodyguard confirmed.

A small smile tugged at Pedro’s lips. “Good,” he muttered under his breath. “How many guards has Ethan placed around Lily?”

“There are two bodyguards with Miss Lily and ten hidden guards in the surrounding area,” the bodyguard reported.

Pedro let out a low chuckle, his eyes narrowing. “Ten hidden guards from the Collins Family, huh? Impressive. It seems someone has finally started taking me seriously,” he said with a smirk.

“How many of them can you handle on your own?” Pedro asked.

“Boss, I can take down at least seven or eight,” the bodyguard replied confidently.

“Good,” Pedro responded curtly.

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Boss… should I act now, or—”
