In the secluded part of town where only a few villas were located, further away from the rest of the buildings and surrounded by a large forest area, was an odd-looking villa that sat on top of a small hill.
The atmosphere was eerily calm, making people unconsciously avoid the place since it made them feel a sense of dread. A fleet of expensive cars that looked out of place were parked in front of the building. Upstairs, in a dimly lit room, a vague shadow of a man could be seen in the darkness; only the wisps of smoke and the red tip of the lit cigar could be seen.
