"How did you do that?!"
"What just happened?"
"Ughhhh…"
Nico and his men groaned, their voices tangled with shock and confusion.
The room that had once been filled with their mocking laughter was now heavy with fear and disbelief.
Moments ago, they were armed, confident, and in control. Now, they lay bound and helpless, as if the world itself had flipped in an instant.
All 17 of them, seasoned criminals, stared at Ross as if he were a ghost—a specter that defied their understanding.
Ross chuckled softly, his casual demeanor a stark contrast to the chaos around him.
"It's a secret," he said, his words laced with a playful mockery that only added to their frustration.
With an unhurried stride, Ross walked toward Maya, who was still strapped to the wheelchair.
She watched him approach, her heart pounding—not out of fear, but from a mix of relief and awe.
