Helios

The crime boss Helios controlled the city's most profitable sector—the seaport. This territory had long been a source of concern to his main rival, the cruel and unscrupulous Konrad. To break Helios, Konrad resorted to the most dastardly move: his men tracked down and kidnapped the pregnant woman, the crime boss's only weak point.

At this time, Helios and his soldiers were engaged in a heavy firefight in an abandoned warehouse. In the midst of the battle, a phone shaved in his pocket. Seeing the hidden number, he pressed answer and pressed the receiver to his ear. Instead of a greeting, he heard muffled thuds and a desperate, painful cry.

The voice on the phone changed to Conrad's mocking croak: "We have your woman, Helios. Sign over the entire port territory to me, or she won't live to see the morning. Along with your unborn heir. The choice is yours, but you need to decide quickly."

Helios raised his hand sharply, ordering his men to cease fire. An ominous silence fell around them. His face turned stony, his eyes bloodshot.

"Listen to me carefully, you bastard," Helios said in an icy, bone-chilling tone. "You've made the biggest mistake of your life."

"Don't try to talk me out of it," Conrad snapped. "A port in exchange for her life. Time's up."

"You don't have time," Helios snapped. "If a single hair falls from her head, I will find every one of you. You will beg for death, but I will make you suffer for as long as is physically possible. I will slaughter your entire gang to the last man. You have exactly ten minutes to bring my wife back safe and sound. Time is running out."
