“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.
