The rain lashed against the bulletproof windows of Lucian's penthouse office, mirroring the turmoil in the city below. He stood silhouetted against the stormy skyline, a glass of amber liquid swirling in his hand, his gaze fixed on the sprawling metropolis.

He turned slowly, his eyes, dark as polished obsidian, finding 程煜杰 where they sat, stiff and uncertain, on the edge of a plush velvet armchair. A faint, almost imperceptible smirk touched his lips.
"So, 程煜杰," his voice was a low rumble, laced with a dangerous silkiness, "You've seen the storm outside. Now, tell me, are you ready for the one brewing inside these walls?"
