Chapter 2206 Calm Before the Storm!

“Quintus…” Libby watched his retreating back, a hint of disappointment in her expression.

She just couldn’t understand–why did Quintus always reject her so harshly?

Libby sighed to herself. She had heard that men liked beautiful women–the more attractive and curvier, the better. Maybe she needed to change her style to get Quintus‘ attention…

Meanwhile, Quintus led his team to Ken’s residence, only to find the place much quieter than expected.

“Where is everyone?” Quintus, always hot–tempered, immediately grabbed Ken by the collar. “Didn’t Mackenzie tell you to gather the West End representatives? Where are they?”

“Calm down, General Quintus! Let me explain!” Ken quickly

ised his hands, signaling for him to hold off.

“Hmph, then start talking!” Quintus warned. “I don’t have Mackenzie’s patience. You already betrayed Teddy Tanner once–what’s stopping you from betraying Mackenzie next?”

Solana, who Emmanuel had sent to assist Quintus, couldn’t help but smirk. For a guy who looked like a brute, Quintus actually had some sharp instincts.

There was an old saying–betray someone once, and no one will ever trust you again. Even though Ken had ultimately helped their side, he had switched loyalties so many times along the way that it was impossible to tell where his true allegiance lay.
