"Good," Viktor said, stepping forward. "Now, let's have a little chat."
Ivan's mind worked furiously, searching for a way out of the situation. He couldn't let Viktor win. Not now, not ever.
As Viktor approached, Ivan locked eyes with Nikolas, silently conveying a plan.
In a split second, Ivan lunged at Viktor, tackling him to the ground. The room erupted into chaos as Nikolas sprang into action, taking out the nearest armed man with a swift, calculated move. Leanne, finding a burst of strength, kicked another assailant in the shin, giving Ivan and Nikolas a fighting chance.
The room became a flurry of movement and noise, the clashing of bodies and the grunts of effort filling the air.
Ivan fought with everything he had, his determination fueled by the need to protect Leanne and bring Viktor to justice.
