Kali's gaze hardened, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous intensity. She did not appreciate being doubted, especially by someone like Killiam. The room sensed her rising fury, like a tempest ready to unleash its destructive force.

"Do I look like a jesting fool to you, Mr. Harenzyade?" Kali's voice sliced through the air like a razor, her words devoid of any humor. The gravity of her presence weighed on Killiam, but he couldn't resist rolling his eyes arrogantly. The audacity only fueled her anger further.

The tension in the room mounted as Alex attempted to intercede, desperately trying to bridge the treacherous gap between these two formidable leaders. His efforts, however, were futile, like a lamb walking into a lion's den.

"Guys, perhaps we should—" Alex's voice was drowned out by the simmering confrontation between Killiam and Kali.

" So , tell me Kali why do you need our help ?"

The weight of Killiam's skepticism hung heavy in the air, threatening to shatter the fragile alliance that Kali had proposed. He questioned the need for their assistance, highlighting her overwhelming power and superiority. He brazenly challenged her, daring to inquire about the nature of her request.

A dangerous smile curled on Kali's lips as she leaned back, relishing the opportunity to assert her dominance. The room held its breath, anticipating her response, as she delivered her words with a venomous edge.

"To annihilate the Asian Organisations," she declared, her voice dripping with ruthless determination. The room recoiled in silence, absorbing the weight of her intentions. The mere mention of the Asian Organisations sent shivers down their spines, a testament to their formidable presence.

Killiam reclined in his seat, a calculated air surrounding him as he weighed Kali's proposition. The Asian Organisations had always been a formidable adversary, yet he had always believed his own mafia possessed enough strength to vanquish them alone. However, the allure of a strategic alliance with Kali's formidable force beckoned to him. The room held its breath, awaiting his response, as he contemplated the risks and rewards.

Finally, with a measured tone, Killiam spoke, sending ripples of uncertainty through the room. "Fine."

His decision sent shockwaves through the room, leaving Xavier, his father, with a creased brow and a voice laced with concern. " You can't be serious Killiam " He understood the perils of dealing with Kali, her unpredictability a double-edged sword.

Killiam's gaze remained fixed on Kali, unyielding. "Yes, I am serious. To vanquish the Asian Organisations, we require every advantage we can attain. If that means aligning with your mafia, then so be it."

A wicked smirk curved Kali's lips, her satisfaction palpable. "Good. I knew you possessed the intelligence to recognize the benefits of this union. But make no mistake, Killiam. While I seek your aid, underestimating me would prove to be your last mistake."

Killiam's jaw tightened, a visible display of his understanding. He couldn't afford to make an enemy of Kali, his instincts screaming at him to tread cautiously. With conviction, he delivered his response, making his stance abundantly clear.

"I comprehend," he retorted firmly, his eyes locking with hers. "But let it be known, the same goes for you. Should you attempt any treachery, you will discover the repercussions firsthand."

A sinister chuckle escaped Kali's lips, her amusement apparent. She reveled in his audacity, the promise of an intriguing power struggle. "I admire your audacity, Killiam. You possess the fortitude required for our partnership."

Amidst the tension, unease settled in Alex's voice as he voiced their collective apprehensions. "But what of the risks? What if we fail?" His voice quivered, revealing the doubt that plagued their minds.
