"I don’t waste time with illusions or weakness. I’ve risen to where I am because I understand power—how to acquire it, how to maintain it, how to wield it. In this world, only the strong survive, and I am stronger than most. Loyalty is a tool, not a virtue. Respect is earned through actions, not words. I’ve done what others won’t do, made the choices they couldn’t. I am no one’s friend, but I am the person you want on your side when the world turns against you."
