Ryan, who was reading his lines as Daniel, stayed focused, locking eyes with Julian. "You're done, Victor. We have everything we need to bring you down. Your crew, your operation — it's over." Ryan's tone was firm, matching Julian's intensity.
Victor's smirk widened, his voice smooth yet menacing. "Is it? You think locking me up changes anything? There will always be someone to take my place. That's just how it works, Daniel." His calm confidence was unsettling, and the room seemed to grow colder.
Ryan took a deep breath, steadying himself. "Maybe. But you won't get the chance. We'll make sure of that." He didn't let Victor's words shake him, showing Daniel's resolve.
Julian, staying in character as Victor, leaned forward, his eyes darkening. "You really think you can stop me? I have eyes everywhere. You're playing a dangerous game." The tension in his voice sent a chill through the room, even though they were just rehearsing.
