When Neil finished his words, a chuckle escaped Aelfric, his tone laced with mockery. “Neil, seems like your intel network could use a tune-up.”

The jab hung in the air, but Neil, choosing discretion over confrontation, simply let it slide. Deep down, he knew his information sources were limited. He’d been laser-focused on taking down Connor and claiming the leadership of the Daniels family. He hadn’t bothered much with international affairs, dismissing them as irrelevant.
