The aftermath of the battle with Alexander Muir brought a wave of relief to Jhon's team. The immediate threat was gone, and his organization felt an unusual calm settle over it. But with every quiet moment, Jhon was acutely aware of what this line of work demanded—the constant vigilance, the ever-present danger, and the toll it took on everyone involved.

"Jhon," she began, "I think we need to address what happened with Muir. It's not just a victory—it's a message. Others will hear about it, and they'll come at us even harder."
Jhon nodded, a faint smile on his lips. "I'm well aware. That's why we need to be stronger than ever. I don't want a repeat of what happened with Moriarty or Muir."
Sarah hesitated, then continued. "The team... they're loyal, but they're scared. They need to see that all of this—what we're fighting for—is worth it."
