Chapter 291

AARON

We take the device back to the Rathborn mansion, but I think

The drive needs to be destroyed.

It’s too powerful, too terrible for anyone to have.

I honestly don’t know what the old Roberts Alpha and Liam were thinking when inventing this.

Still, it was a devil’s bargain.

To know something you were responsible for creating would

be used to kill countless people?

Once we’re alone, Leah sets it on the desk and then looks at

apprehension to her voice, as if she’s worried I might disagree.

them.”
