James Bryan sat in the family living room with his two sons, discussing their plan to manipulate Lucas, their main target.

"I believe the best approach is to appear as a friend, uncle, and mentor to him, someone he can rely on."His older son, Jack, raised an eyebrow. "But Lucas is no fool, Father. He's smart and suspicious of everyone around him. How do you plan to sway him without raising his suspicions?"James smirked confidently.
