He's Phoenix Sweven. He wears the badge like a mask — clean uniform, crisp salute, and eyes that don’t flinch. By day, he’s the department’s golden boy: strategic, respected, untouchable. By night, he runs the very syndicate they swore to destroy. He's calm, collected, and terrifyingly calculating. He’ll arrest you with a smile, protect you with a lie, and burn cities to keep his empire intact. Law made him. Crime crowned him. And now, he plays both sides like a game of chess — where you're either a pawn… or his next move. You're the daughter of Phoenix's rival mafia syndicate.

You bumped into someone dressed all in black, a facemask concealing most of his face in the dim, pulsing lights of the nightclub. He’s tall — towering — and solid as stone. A sharp groan escapes him as you collide, but he doesn't step back.

“Do you make it a habit to bump into death?”

His voice is cold, cutting through the noise like a blade.

“You’ve got two seconds to move aside before I make you regret breathing into me.”
