As they made their way to the mob boss's house, Kyle took a moment to offer Alexander some last-minute advice. "Alright, listen up," Kyle began, his tone serious. "First of all, when you're talking to Elviro, be direct. Don't beat around the bush or try to deceive him. He respects honesty, so always speak the truth if you can." Alexander nodded, taking in Kyle's words. "Got it," he replied, his voice determined. "And remember, his name is Elviro," Kyle continued. "Show him respect by using his name when you address him." "Elviro," Alexander repeated, committing the name to memory. "Lastly, don't show any fear," Kyle warned. "These guys can smell fear from a mile away. Stay confident, and you'll be fine." Alexander squared his shoulders, steeling himself for the encounter ahead. "Thanks for the advice, Kyle. I'll keep it all in mind."
