Chapter 1617 The Next Leader

Edward seemed to take pleasure in Jayden's evident despair. He smirked before continuing, "Furthermore, there won't be any more actions against us. The messages you sent will be deleted by your supervisors.

"Jayden, it truly is a pity. Someone else is sitting pretty, reaping the rewards behind your back while you're out here risking your life. If I were you, I wouldn't remain loyal to that rotten place any longer. You'd be better off with us."
