Elena’s admiration for Casper grew. Skills aside, his best and most attractive attribute was his personality.

He was ruthless to those who crossed him, but he would help those in need selflessly and readily.

When he saw Elena in a dazed, Casper waved his hand in front of her eyes.

“What’s on your mind?”

“Oh, I… erm… I was thinking about Louis and his family. It must be tough on them.”

She quickly changed the topic.

“That’s right. Louis is an exemplary man. When he stepped forward earlier, it showed that he has a conscience and was guilty for what he did. When I asked, he shouldered the consequence of his action in silence.”

“This way, please.”

Victoria ushered them ahead before beckoning for Casper to follow.
