Zephyr was not interested in Neil’s background. He looked indifferent and tossed the spatula on the counter, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. There was an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Nicholas continued. “It’s said that Neil Harris is from Mengasas, and his family has relations with the military of Southeast Aciatic. His accomplishments certainly come from his hard work, but he wouldn’t get popular so fast if he didn’t have support behind him!”

After a long time, Zephyr glanced at him in silence and uttered, “What stupid background is this?”

Nicholas could sense his jealousy from a mile away.

“I just want you to know.” He held back his laugh. “You can only win knowing your enemy! Wouldn’t you have to know him thoroughly to tackle him?”

“Why should I care?” Zephyr scoffed. “I call the shots in Centrolis!”

“Oh, you call the shots? Can Mr. Z Hamerton go buy a packet of cigarettes now?”

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

“I wonder if you can call the shots in this?”

“Nicholas Thompson!” Zephyr growled through gritted teeth.

Nicholas looked like he wanted to laugh but could not bear to laugh at him. He then waved his hand before resuming cutting up some potatoes.

‘Hah, this was karma!’

Zephyr rolled his eyes hard. “Thompson, careful not to cut your own finger!”
