Chapter 6 - The Ultimate Plot Twist
"You can't do this!" Javier screamed, jumping up from his chair. "We are your blood! You're going to give our inheritance to these dirty bikers? To this criminal?!" he pointed a shaking finger at El Chivo.
Ignacio stood up, his posture tall and unyielding. "El Chivo—whose real name is Alejandro—is not a criminal, Javier. He is the boy I took in and sponsored through law school twenty years ago when his own family abandoned him. While you were spending my money in European clubs, Alejandro was running soup kitchens and protecting neighborhoods from cartels. He built this motorcycle group to protect the vulnerable.

Ignacio closed the folder with a sharp thud. "The inheritance is gone. It has been legally transferred to a global charity protecting abandoned elders and funding Alejandro's community programs. You will inherit nothing but the names I gave you."
