Leo's heart pounded in his chest, the rhythmic thumping a stark contrast to the chaos swirling within him. He felt a surge of panic as he faced Father Charles, an imposing figure emanating an aura of righteousness that Leo found unnerving. This priest was immune to his charm ability, the very power Leo had relied upon to manipulate judges and juries into ruling in his favor. It was a weapon he had wielded with ease, effortlessly swaying opinions and bending the wills of those around him. But now, facing this formidable opponent, Leo realized he was defenseless.
He had taken this case, hoping to secure another victory for his flawless record. He had been confident that he could use his supernatural charisma to persuade the court that Father Charles was guilty of a heinous crime. He had expected the priest to be an easy target, a weak and naive man who would crumble under his pressure. But he had been wrong.
