Blackheart's Ambition

"Master, what should we do?"Wind Demon face was grim. There was a long silence before he spoke, ", have you found that woman?"

"I have." Wind Demon nodded.

"Good. We'll deal with the Punisher later. First, take me to her."

"Yes."

"Johnny, I don't want to hear any more of your fabricated stories." Roxanne Simpson sat on the sofa in her apartment, phone in hand, sounding desperate.

"I know there's no such thing as your so-called Ghost Rider, no Demon King's deception... There's no future for us," the voice on the other end hurriedly defended.

Roxanne cut him off, staring out the balcony into the night, clutching her pillow tightly.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the room, chilling Roxanne to the bone. "Ah!" She sneezed, rushing to close the balcony window.

"Hello, Miss Simpson," a soft voice startled her from behind.

She turned, only to see two eerie figures standing there. One was a disheveled man with long hair, the other a well-dressed, handsome young man exuding an unsettling aura.

"You... who are you?" Roxanne asked, edging toward the living room table where her pistol lay.

"You can call me 'Blackheart'," the man said with a polite smile. "Wind Demon , give Miss Roxanne the gun."

"Of course, master," Wind Demon replied, handing her the pistol.

"Take it. If you feel threatened, you may shoot," Blackheart continued, unfazed.

Roxanne hesitated, fear and confusion mixing inside her. In a moment of defiance, she gritted her teeth, aimed, and fired several shots at Blackheart and Wind Demon .

Bang! The bullets passed through them harmlessly, embedding in the wall.

Terrified, Roxanne backed against the balcony, with no escape route.

"We mean you no harm," Blackheart assured her, still smiling politely. "We simply need a small favor."

"What... what do you want?" Rosanne managed, clutching the pistol tightly.

Blackheart leaned in, his gaze piercing. "We know Johnny Blaze is your boyfriend. We need you to ask him for the contract of san Vangaza."

Roxanne froze. She couldn't deny her history with Johnny, but involving him in this seemed dangerous.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you or Johnny," Blackheart continued, sensing her hesitation. "We simply want what rightfully belongs to us."

Roxanne weighed her options, torn between justice and her uncertain relationship with Johnny.

After a tense moment, Roxanne sighed defeatedly. "Fine... I'll do it."
