Max and Mia arrived at The Velvet, a bar that Max, Henry, and Luca had recently inherited ownership of. They parked the car near the entrance and got out. As they approached the bar, they could hear the sound of Christmas music and laughter coming from inside. Tony, who had organized the party, spotted Max and started making his way towards him.

"Max! Come here you! Come here." Tony yelled out before giving Max a warm hug. "Genius you are! Genius."

Luca and Henry were also there and greeted Max with a smile. Just then, the door opened again, and in walked Dave with a woman no one recognized. Max welcomed Dave with a "Merry Christmas" while Tony asked about the woman's identity.

"It's my wife," Dave replied, surprising Tony. "Oh, your wife! Well, congratulations," Tony said.

Dave then took Tony's hand and led him outside to show him something. As they stepped out, they saw a bright pink Chevillon Thrax Jefferson parked on the road. "Isn't she gorgeous, I bought it for my wife. I love that car," Dave said to Tony, who was now visibly angry.

“What the fuck are you doing.”

Dave was confused by Tony’s comments.

“What did I tell you? What did I fucking tell you! Didn't I tell you not to buy anything for a while!”

“It's a wedding gift, Tony. I just got married, it's under her mother’s name it's fine.”

“Davey, are you nuts?”

“What's the problem with it, Tony?”

“What's the problem with it? We got NCPD all over us and you buy a fucking car, I just got my sons back and you want them in jail is that what you're trying to do.”

“It's under her mother’s name it’s a wedding gift. i just got married.”

“I don’t give a fuck who the name’s it's under didn’t I say don’t buy anything, don’t get anything, nothing big. What's the fucking matter with you.”

“What you getting angry for Tony?”

“What am I getting angry for, you going to get us all pinched. Cause you don't fucking listen”

Dave started apologizing to Tony, while Tony was still berating him by asking what the matter with him was.

Dave and his wife walk away from Tony to which he turns to Max and talks about Dave behind his back calling him nothing but a fat fuck.

The door creaked open once again, Tony's eyes widened with rage as he saw John and his wife enter the room. The woman was draped in a luxurious white fur coat, which only fueled Tony's already seething anger.

Without a second thought, Tony stormed towards the couple and bellowed,

"Ha! I can't believe this. What are you stupid? Excuse me miss, take it off."

In a flash, Tony had snatched the coat from the woman's shoulders, leaving her shocked and bewildered. John and his wife were equally stunned and demanded to know what the problem was.

“Didn’t I tell you not to get anything big? Didn't I tell you not to attract attention? One buys a fucking 30,000 car, and you buy a fucking 20,000 fucking coat. Get rid of it. I don’t care if you get your money back, I don’t care if you don’t get your money back, I don’t care who the fuck you give it to, I don’t care where the fuck you get rid of it just get rid of it. Right here! Right now! Now! Go! Get rid of it!”

John followed Tony’s orders and forcefully pushed his wife outside.

“Un fucking believable. You've been back for a few weeks and they two pricks want you in prison come on I need a drink.”

Max stood there shocked, this was the only time he had seen Tony this angry, not wanting to get on his bad side tonight Max followed Tony to the bar and ordered a shot of whiskey.

“Sorry about that Max. It's just that I’ve not seen you three in some time, and I don’t want you lot to end up in prison because someone didn’t listen to the simple fucking instructions that I laid out.”

The party was in full swing, with Max and Mia dancing together while Henry and Luca danced like fools. Tony and Tom watched on, happy to see Max, Henry, and Luca back in Night City.

As the night progressed, Tony pulled Max, Henry, and Luca into a nearby office to distribute their share of the heist. The heist had been a success, and they had managed to steal around thirty million Eurodollars. Their share of the money would be approximately six million each.

“Merry Christmas boys,” Tony exclaimed, handing each of them their portion of the money.

Luca was thrilled, picking up his stack of money with a grin. “Oh ho ho. Christmas came early boy's ha ha,” he said excitedly.

“Come here boys,” Tony called out, and all four of them gathered together in a massive hug. “I love you boys, you know that, right?”

Max and Henry collected their share of the money, both feeling grateful and relieved that their eight months in the Badlands were worth it.

“Enjoy yourselves boys, but I know you already know this. Don’t buy anything too extravagant, alright? Don’t do what Dave and John did. Just enjoy yourselves, and I'll be with you in a second, I need to have something taken care of.” Tony reminded them.

The three walked out of the room only to see that James was at the bar looking at Mia.

This wasn’t good as the three knew that James wasn’t invited to the party.

“What do we do Max,” Henry asked knowing that things were about to take a turn for the worst.

Max tells Henry and Luca that he will deal with him as after all, it's his fault, but before he can confront James, Henry tells Max to not repeat what happened on his eighteenth.
