**Zombo Stars - Chapter 10: Rise to Power**
Under the full moon and with his heart beating with determination, Huguel walked the streets of the Jacaré Sul favela, now transformed into a true vigilante. In the last few days, he had given himself over to a relentless wave of revenge, eliminating 500 bandits and criminals who were spreading terror among the innocent residents. Each of his actions left an indelible mark, not only on those who fell before his strength, but also in the minds of the community that was beginning to recognize him.
The thirst for justice led him to the hideout of the feared drug trafficking leader, Sandro Sanchez. He knew that, in order to effectively transform the favela and punish those who perpetuated the violence, he needed to end the man who ran it all. Sandro was a monster who had kept the community under oppression for too long.
With a combination of cunning and power, Huguel infiltrated the stronghold of crime. The confrontation was quick and brutal. Sandro, probably surprised by the young man's audacity, didn't even have time to try to defend himself. Huguel, in a decisive and precise movement, cut off the drug dealer's head, separating it from his body with the same ease with which he had eliminated his companions.
When the intense battle ended and silence reigned, Huguel had triumphed. He didn't stop there. Wanting to mark his act so that everyone would see and know that change had come to that favela, he took Sandro's decapitated body and impaled his head on a stake that he himself created. The stake was fixed in a central location of the square, a deadly warning to all those who dared to challenge his authority.
"Now, no one will commit crimes in the Jacaré Sul favela while I'm here!" he proclaimed loudly, echoing throughout the square. His words resounded like a new decree, and the atmosphere around him changed instantly.
The once fearful and hopeless residents began to gather around the square, staring in awe at the criminal's unquestioned head. What had once been a symbol of fear had now become a monument to strength and change. Huguel was no longer a lost boy; he had become a leader.
With Sandro's head exposed and his strength demonstrated, Huguel now ruled the favela with a firm hand. He had not only freed himself from the bonds of oppression, but he had also earned the respect—and fear—of all who lived there. The idea of a new future began to take shape; a future where justice, however violent, was the only way to ensure safety and peace.
And so, Huguel cemented his power in the world that, in so many ways, he had sought to shape. He was committed to protecting the vulnerable and eradicating evil, but deep down, the line between justice and vengeance was becoming increasingly blurred.
He didn't know what the future held, but one thing was certain: the Jacaré Sul favela now belonged to Huguel, the new leader, who, driven by pain and the need for change, was about to rewrite the destiny of everyone around him.
