Cold Open — HUD Jokes Back
Miami sun bounced off glass towers. Legend leaned on the balcony, blunt lit, HUD flickering steady.

Balance: $388,940 → $392,940
But instead of red alerts, the HUD glitched weird:
[Side Quest Alert: Random Opportunity Generated…]
[Quest Title: Who the Hell Orders 10,000 Wings?]
Legend exhaled smoke, chuckling. "What the…?"
Miles shouted from the studio. "Yo bro! Somebody hit my phone asking if we can help deliver wings for a video shoot. They paying cash!"
Legend smirked. "Guess that's tonight's hustle."

Scene 1 — Side Quest: Wing Hustle Gone Wrong
Warehouse. Mountains of chicken wings stacked high. Greasy chaos. The rapper filming the video screamed, "I need wings falling from the ceiling like snow!"
Legend shook his head, lighting up. "This city ridiculous."
He snapped $1,000—Balance: $391,940—and wings literally rained from the rafters.
The crew went nuts. "Yo! Who is this dude?!"
But then rats swarmed out, chasing the wings. Chaos erupted. People screaming, wings flying, rats everywhere.
Legend stayed calm, blunt in lips, Cash Knuckle glowing. One swing, rats flew like baseballs.
The rapper clapped. "Legend, you're in the video now!"

Scene 2 — Salina vs. Groupies
At the afterparty, women swarmed. One bold groupie leaned on Legend. "Why don't you leave her and come with us?"
Salina's eyes flashed. She stood, grabbed a bottle, smashed it on the table. "Say it again."
The club froze. Groupie backed off fast.
Legend pulled her close, whispering smooth. "They only bark because they're thirsty. You're the only one I let drink."
Her anger melted into heat. She kissed him rough, muttering, "Then let them starve."
HUD pulsed:
[Influence: Salina — Loyalty Reinforced.]

Scene 3 — Side Quest: Pool Hustle
Next afternoon, Legend hit the building pool. A group of rich Miami kids playing poker waved him over.
"You look like money. Wanna lose some?"
Legend smirked. "Bet."
He sat, lit up, snapped $500—Balance: $401,440—into the pot. Smooth talk distracted them. HUD tracked their hands.
By the last round, he cleaned them out. $8,000 in chips.
The kids groaned. "How?!"
Legend smirked. "House always wins. And I am the house."

Scene 4 — Main Mission: Bronx Backfire
The 305 Syndicate called. "We need you on another Miami–Bronx run. Big bag. Bigger heat."
Legend agreed. Halfway north, ambush — Collector's men again. SUVs boxed them in.
This time, the lead agent walked out slow. "Legend. You play too many games. Tonight, we end the comedy."
Legend smirked, exhaled smoke. "Comedy pays better than tragedy."
He snapped $4,000—Balance: $405,440—scattered bills across the road. Men dove. Cash Knuckle hummed. One punch folded a hood. Another cracked ribs.
They cleared the way, delivered the crates.

Scene 5 — Random Chaos: Grocery Store Madness
Later that week, Salina dragged him to the grocery store. Calm day — until a fight broke out in aisle 6 over the last pack of toilet paper.
Legend sighed, snapped $300—Balance: $455,140—and made five more packs appear.
Shoppers gasped, one grandma yelling, "It's a miracle!"
Legend smirked. "Nah. Just customer service."

Scene 6 — Collector's Warning
Back home, an envelope waited at the door.
Inside: photos. Legend at the wing shoot. At the pool table. In the grocery aisle.
Note: You think this is funny. But comedy turns to tragedy.
HUD screamed.
[Collector Influence: Maximum.]
[Silver Tongue Strain — 95%.]
Legend burned the photos, exhaled smoke. "Then laugh while you can."

Closing Beat — Wild, Lowkey, Untouchable
Balcony breeze warm, Miles recording, Salina curled against him.
HUD glowed.
[CASH FLOW | +$4,200 Deposited]

Legend smirked. "Main missions, side quests, chaos — I stay lowkey forever. Even when the world turns hilarious."
