Lucas chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint. "Consider it done, my dear. Whatever you desire shall be yours," he replied, feigning innocence.

As his wife retreated to her chambers, Lucas's smile faded, replaced by a steely determination. He knew that the battle for power and control was intensifying, and he couldn't afford any distractions, even on the home front.

His mind shifted back to Marvel and the unfolding events at the McQueen's castle. He pondered his next move, contemplating the best way to assert his dominance over his adversaries. The government's impending shutdown of the McQueen properties presented a unique opportunity for him to strike a decisive blow.

The fateful day arrived—the day of his wife's birthday. As she reveled in the grandeur and the adulation of their guests, Lucas observed from a distance, his mind preoccupied with the impending clash with the McQueens.

Amidst the festivities, he received a crucial update. The government had successfully shut down some of the McQueen properties as he had requested from his bestfriend who is the deputy mayor, plunging them into turmoil. It was the opportune moment for Lucas to strike, to seize control of their empire and crush any resistance.

With a calculated calmness, Lucas excused himself from the celebration, citing urgent business matters. His wife, enveloped in the joy of her special day, bid him farewell, blissfully unaware of the storm that was about to be unleashed.

Lucas retreated to his private study, where maps, blueprints, and intelligence reports adorned the walls. He watched as his men meticulously planned each step, strategizing with precision and envisioning the downfall of his rivals.

Lucas watched his loyal commander with a mixture of pride and apprehension. He understood the risks involved but trusted in his commander's capabilities. "Do not disappoint me," Lucas warned, his voice filled with a mix of authority and expectation.

As his men departed, Lucas turned his attention back to the festivities. He reentered the grand hall, where laughter and music filled the air. The ambiance was vibrant, and the celebration continued in full swing.

His wife, adorned in elegance, caught his eye from across the room. She approached him, her gaze filled with curiosity. "What was that all about, my love?" she inquired, her voice laced with intrigue.

Lucas smiled, masking the turmoil within. "Just some matters that needed attending to, my dear," he replied, his tone a careful blend of solace and secrecy. "But worry not, let us enjoy this special day together."

As the night wore on, Lucas immersed himself in the festivities, dancing with his wife and engaging in animated conversations with their esteemed guests. He raised his glass in toasts, his demeanor exuding charm and charisma.

Lucas, surrounded by merriment, couldn't help but steal glances at the clock, his mind filled with a mix of anticipation and concern. Time ticked away, each passing minute heightening the suspense.

Finally, the stroke of midnight arrived. The grand hall fell silent for a moment, as if time itself held its breath. Then, the doors burst open, and Lucas's loyal commander emerged, his face smudged with soot, a triumphant smile upon his lips.

He approached Lucas, a sense of accomplishment emanating from him. "It is done, boss. The castle is in ruins, and so is every member of the McQueens have been eliminated," he declared, his voice carrying a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction.
