Chapter 301

Colton was one of the top enforcers in the agency, practically unbeatable. Hank knew better than to challenge him; he wouldn’t last more than a few moves against Colton’s skill.

“I’m talking about Lance!” Hank sneered, trying to mask his fear of Colton. “He’s too weak to be here. If he’d told me how weak he was sooner, I could’ve gone easy on him.”

Everyone at the agency clenched their fists in anger at Hank’s bragging.

Oh, Hank, they noted. They’d make sure to avenge Lance.

Flora stood up slowly, her gaze calm as it landed on Hank. “You keep calling others weak. Do you think you’re strong?”
