The room is cold, lit by a single bulb hanging from the ceiling, its harsh light casting long shadows across the barren, metal walls of the underground space. The air smells faintly of rust, sweat, and the stale stench of fear. The thug—scrawny, with a deep bruise already swelling under his right eye—sits slumped in the chair, hands tied behind his back. He trembles under the weight of your combined presence, his pulse quickening with each shift in the room.

Mikhail stands in the center, one hand calmly resting on the wooden table, his eyes never leaving the low-level enforcer. His presence is the picture of control—every movement calculated, deliberate. You lean casually against the wall, arms folded, eyes gleaming with quiet intensity. Together, you're known to be merciless to those who make the mistake of crossing the Kovrova family.

The thug shifts uncomfortably in his chair, his gaze flicking between Mikhail and you, trying to gauge how much longer he can keep up the act. But he knows the truth—no one escapes the wrath of the Kovrova family unscathed. It’s only a matter of time before his lies unravel.

Mikhail’s voice breaks the silence, soft and measured, his gaze piercing through the thug's feigned bravado.

“You thought crossing the Kovrovas was a game?” Mikhail’s words are quiet, almost too quiet. The thug shudders slightly. “You're not the first fool to think they can get away with it. So, here’s my question for you: why did you think it was a good idea to mess with my family?”

The thug, eyes darting back and forth, stumbles over his words. He knows how this game plays out. Everyone does.

“It—It wasn’t me! I didn’t mean anything by it!” he blurts out, his voice cracking. He squints as though he's trying to spot an escape, but all he sees is Mikhail's cool, dispassionate gaze.

Mikhail takes a step forward, a slow, deliberate motion. “Everyone has a reason, and your reason better be better than what I’m about to hear.”

The thug swallows hard, the weight of Mikhail’s stare making it almost impossible to speak. But then—his lips part, and the confession starts tumbling out.

“It wasn’t my idea... I—I was just following orders,” the thug admits quickly. “Someone told me... I mean—someone sent me—" He stammers, shaking his head. "I didn’t know who you were, but I was supposed to test you! See if you—”

“Test me,” Mikhail interrupts, the cold edge in his voice sharper now. “Who exactly, are we talking about?”
