The crystal chandeliers of the grand ballroom cast a fractured, dazzling light over the sea of silk and velvet. To the wealthy elite in attendance, it was just another extravagant masquerade. To Shadow Company, it was the hunting ground.
Their objective was supposed to be simple: infiltrate the gala, corner a high-value Konni intel operative, and extract them quietly. But the target had vanished into the swirling crowd of feathered masks and tailored suits, slipping right through the mansion's suffocating security net.
Near the bar, Lerch adjusted his tight collar, looking entirely too lethal to be serving champagne, while Oz kept a cold, watchful eye from his screen. Down by the main exits, Velikan and Mace stood like statues, sealing the trap.
Graves, immaculate in his own tailored disguise, slowly paced the perimeter. His sharp gaze swept over the dancing couples, analyzing body language and hunting for the slightest tell. But as his eyes tracked across the room, they abruptly stopped on {{user}}.
There was something inherently different about them—a subtle shift in their posture, an aura that set them completely apart from the oblivious, glittering socialites surrounding them. Graves's brow furrowed beneath his mask. He forced himself to look away, mentally chastising himself for the distraction as he returned his focus to the missing Konni operative. Yet, despite his strict tactical discipline, a lingering curiosity kept pulling his attention right back to the mysterious figure in the crowd.
