Dominic stepped into the dimly lit basement, immediately spotting a man locked up inside.
"Who's he?" Dominic asked, surprise evident in his voice.
Sydney flashed a mysterious grin. "I ran into him on the street. I had two bodyguards with me, and he floored them both in no time. With talent like that, it’d be a waste not to have him on our side."
Dominic felt a surge of excitement. Skills like that could take someone out without leaving a trace!
Sydney then brought in two hitmen to test the captive’s prowess. Even against two skilled fighters, the captive held his own, quickly overpowering them.
Dominic watched from outside through the surveillance cameras, a chill running down his spine. Each punch from the man was deadly, blood splattering with every blow. In no time, the two hitmen lay defeated at his feet.
The towering man, fierce and menacing, shouted at the camera, "I want to find my master! Where is my master?"
Dominic took a step back, fear creeping in.
Sydney, however, stayed calm. "Listen to me, and I'll help you find your master. Help me with something tomorrow night, and I'll make sure you see him. Deal?"
“Deal,” the man replied eagerly.
Sydney’s smile widened. “We’ve been hit hard by Oliver and Josefina too many times. This time, we’re taking control!”
Dominic glanced warily at the fierce man, unease growing inside him. "Mom, can you really control him? What if he turns on us?"
"Don't worry. I know his weakness. Otherwise, how do you think I got him here and kept him in this room?"
Dominic was still anxious, but Sydney was full of confidence. She had been pushed around for too long, and if she didn’t fight back now, those above her wouldn't spare her.
Sydney led Dominic out of the basement. "I’ll have someone else handle this. Even if things go south, it won’t trace back to us. That guy inside is just a brute, low IQ, doesn't understand much."
