The body was discovered four days later by a group of hikers in a remote ravine two hours outside the city. Malik Laurent’s remains had been dumped unceremoniously, partially covered by loose brush. Both hands had been severed cleanly—one missing entirely, the other left near the body as a deliberate signature. The official cause of death was listed as exsanguination from multiple traumatic amputations. The luxury world reeled.
By evening, the internet was on fire.
