The sun had already begun to set, casting a golden hue over the grand estate. Asher's car pulled up into the driveway, the engine humming smoothly before it came to a stop.
The butler dutiful stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Good evening, Mr. Moore. Mr. Scott is expecting you. He's at the basement."
Asher smirked slightly, adjusting the cuffs of his dark dress shirt as he stepped out of the car. "Seems like he didn't leave the house today."
Just then, Liam appeared from the side of the house, his expression neutral but his sharp eyes taking in Asher's presence. "I shall escort you, Mr. Moore." he said, motioning for Asher to follow.
They moved swiftly, avoiding the main entrance as Liam led him through a hidden path at the back of the house. The air grew colder as they descended the stone staircase leading to the basement, the faint scent of blood and sweat thick in the air.
