"Jack, you traitor." Devin, with veins bulging in his neck, hurled a mug at Jack in fury. "If Herman's got it out for me, tell him to come and get me. Right now."

"Calm down, Devin. Why the temper?" Jack dodged the flying mug effortlessly, a smirk playing on his lips. "You were gunning for Elysian Technologies, so you should've known this day might come.

Whether Devin survived didn't matter, but news of his death would definitely hit the headlines by the next morning.

Panicking, Devin pleaded, "Assistant Rob, I need to see Mr. Salstrom. I had no clue about what Julie was up to. It's all a misunderstanding."
