Chapter 408:

Never in his wildest dreams did he think the man he had been boasting about as his supposed backer would be right before him. His thoughts scattered until Henrik’s piercing, ice-cold gaze pulled him back. Dropping to his knees, Cristian apologized frantically, “Mr. Watson, I didn’t know. I made a mistake. Please, have mercy!”

Cristian felt his strength drain away under Henrik’s suffocating presence. But the warning from his employer rang in his ears—confess, and he’d be dead. If he played it off as an accident, Henrik, with his strict sense of justice, might simply rough him up instead.
