Seeing Callum's confidence, Kane shook his head and waved his hand, signaling Stinger and his team to release Hugo and step back.

"Very well, Callum. I'm curious to see what kind of backup you have to defeat me."

Felix had ordered this task, and Kane needed to handle it thoroughly with no loose ends. Any hint of trouble reaching Felix would be seen as a serious dereliction of duty. "Ha! You're indeed someone of great stature, Lord Kane. Your action now might help you avoid some blame."

"Indeed. He has crossed the wrong people. What problem could there be with me taking him away?"

After saying that, Kane shifted his gaze to Ernest, who was standing next to Edward.

Despite Ernest's plain appearance and calm eyes, Kane sensed there was more beneath the surface. After all, as the deputy chief of Dragon Alliance's Oasis Clinic, he had a keen eye for such things. "Sir, I presume you're a major support for the Lambert family. Am I right?" Kane asked with a faint smile.
