‘Once served under Griffin? That means he must all be battle–hardened soldiers who’ve survived blood and fire, Briar thought.

Briar’s casual look faded as she nodded politely to Magnus Vince. “Hello, Mr. Vince,” she greeted.

Magnus beamed. “Hello, Miss Jennings. Please, come inside. Ashton told me you’d be visiting, so I specially hired a chef who can make Dasmiecan–style desserts. You’ll have to try them later and see if they’re any good.”

Connor, following behind them, was left speechless.

‘Hired?‘ Connor thought. ‘Magnus, aren’t you even a little bit guilty saying that? You know exactly how that chef who can make Dasmiecan–style desserts ended up here, don’t you?‘

That chef was from the Serpent Syndicate across the mountain. Today, Magnus went to their boss to borrow the guy, but the boss refused.

Then, Magnus went in alone, took down the Serpent Syndicate’s boss, and hauled that chef back trussed up like a turkey.

When the chef got hauled in over Magnus’s shoulder, his eyes were all puffy from crying.

He thought Magnus was some ruthless, unreasonable brute, and that his boss from the Serpent Syndicate must’ve pissed Magnus off, so now he, a lowly underling, was about to get tortured as payback.

But to his surprise, Magnus just threatened and coaxed him, then shoved him straight into the kitchen and ordered him to whip up all sorts of tasty desserts.

Briar had been busy playing games with Ian on the plane and barely ate anything, so she was feeling pretty hungry now. “Alright, I’ll give them a try,” she said.

Magnus’s smile grew even brighter as he led Briar and Ashton to the living room.

Brandon and Connor exchanged glances. “Have you been ignoring Connor lately? Why does he seem like a lonely old man desperate for someone to pay attention to him?” Brandon asked.

Connor was speechless, thinking, ‘Man, you do have a way with words.‘
