Ivo parked his expensive hover car in the dimly lit alley adjacent to Ascendant Capital.
The city's glow cast long shadows, but the alley was quiet, hidden from the eyes of anyone who might wonder what business he had there at such an hour.
He stepped out, his muscles rippling impressively as he surveyed the impressive building in front of him. The tall glass building gleamed even under the veil of night, a symbol of power and wealth. Ascendant Capital, Yuri's empire, and soon, his.
He moved quickly, heading toward a private entrance he had used many times before. It was a route few knew existed, reserved for those who had business that needed to stay off the record. He had no desire to draw attention to himself tonight. Not when his visit was far from innocent.
As he entered the building, he walked through its halls with a practiced ease, slipping past security cameras with the sure stride of a man who had done this far too many times.
