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."

It was clear Edward was brainwashing him.

Yes, how could they have forgotten? They set the rules here. Once an outsider entered, there was no escape. Their connections extended far beyond what Jayden could imagine.

They even found Jayden amusing. It was funny to them that he didn't inquire more about where he was stepping in before trying to investigate them. Look at him now, unable to escape.

In this place, one was nothing without power or influence.

The magnates exchanged knowing smiles, excitement glinting in their eyes.

"It's just a reminder of how safe we are here." The old, deep voice resonated once again, carrying an unmistakable sense of oppression. "Recently, there have been many incidents, with the Wray and Montclair families, as you all have heard.
