Number between 1-100

The General watched as Lucian took out his phone, and for some reason, a deep sense of unease settled in his chest.

A bad feeling.

"What are you doing?" The General's voice was calm, but his eyes sharpened.

Lucian didn't even look up.

"Nothing much. Just returning the enmity."

His fingers scrolled across the screen, tapping at something.

The General's expression darkened.

"Kid, don't do anything stupid." His tone carried a warning now. "You should know that the government can overlook small things, but if you take this too far… even you won't be able to escape accountability."

At that, Lucian finally lifted his head, his sharp eyes meeting the General's.

"Do you really think they can do anything to me?" His voice was quiet, yet somehow it filled the room. "Even if I did go too far?"

The General's jaw tightened.

"Kid, overconfidence will ruin you."

Before he could say more

"Drop the phone!"
