His sharp gaze left no room for argument. Without waiting for a reply, Ikenna turned sharply on his heel and marched back toward his car, his words still hanging in the air like a command.

The leader's face twisted in a mixture of frustration and embarrassment. His men exchanged uneasy glances, clearly unsure of how to respond to the man who had just dominated their conversation without hesitation.

Ikenna had barely taken a few steps when the leader of Squad 3 called out sharply, "Director, take another step and my men will fire!" His voice was stern, carrying the weight of authority as he tried to regain control of the situation.

Ikenna stopped in his tracks and turned around, letting out a loud, genuine laugh. It wasn't a mocking laugh or an angry one, it was a heartfelt reaction as if he had just heard the funniest joke of his life.

He could see the seriousness in the leader's expression, and that only made him chuckle more.
