Jarvis pinned Jasper with a gaze so sharp it felt like a razor at his throat.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" he demanded, his voice low and precise. Jasper swallowed hard. "No," he admitted, "but Hank told me he saw him do it." For a moment, Jarvis simply stared, and Jasper's pulse thundered his ears.

He could swear his fate dangled by a thread beneath Jarvis's cold scrutiny.

Then, with a curt jerk of his head, Jarvis turned and strode toward the front entrance of the sprawling mansion.

Soldiers had already forced Hank and Hugo down on their knees, and they trembled under the weight of his judgment.

He halted in front of them, his voice as steely as his glare. "You-both of you. Who killed Harlan?"

Hank, sweating bullets, jabbed a finger at Hugo. "It was him! Hugo killed Boss Harlan!"

Jarvis's gaze shifted to Hugo. "Explain."

"When I got there, Harlan was already on the floor. He was dead."

"Liar!" Hank spat. "You killed Boss Harlan!"

Jarvis repeated himself, his voice dropping ominously low. "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Hank couldn't hold Jarvis's gaze.

"No," he admitted reluctantly, "but Hugo was the last one with the boss. When I walked in, Harlan was on the ground."

Jarvis moved faster than thought.

He drew his gun and fired a single shot.

Hank slumped forward, blood painting the floor in a harsh stroke of reality.

Jasper staggered back, heart pounding. The instant shift from accusation to execution made his stomach churn.

Meanwhile, Hugo watched Hank's body collapse with a quiet acceptance.

He'd walked this dangerous road for too long, fully aware that one day-be it a rival's bullet or a friend's betrayal-the underworld would claim him too.
