Meanwhile, in the underground arena on G Island, the dim light barely illuminated the tense meeting between Sibengis and Japra. Shadows clung to the stone walls, reflecting the dark motives being discussed.
Sibengis cold and calculated. "We need to ensure that the bodyguard project is seen as a community initiative. The natives need to feel empowered, not controlled."
Japra was cynical, with a dismissive wave. "Empowered? They’re hardly fit for the purpose you envision. This is merely a means to consolidate power for both of us. Once they’re in place, we’ll have eyes and ears everywhere."
Sibengis leaned in, his expression hardening with each word. His ambitions reached far beyond the island, and he needed to eliminate all risks.
Sibengis voice dropping, tense."And what of David? I’ve heard he’s been snooping around. If he exposes us, it could ruin everything."
