Kastov nodded along with to words and said, "Though I'm busy, I can prioritize helping with it if it's Mr. Matysh's matter."

Ethan's anger surged.

Even if Kastov was capable of such things, he dared not to use anyone who worked for Marcos, as Matysh had warned him to be cautious of Marcos and his men.

When Ethan sensed the sudden change in Marcos' tone, he pointed at his bottle and said, "If Old Master Abaza finds out you're partying and drinking in A City, how will you explain it to him when you go back?"

"Am I not just having a drink?" Kastov could not stand Ethan using his Russian connections to assert dominance. He took the drink from Marcos' hand and said, "Mr. Matysh also indulges in quite a bit of alcohol, doesn't he?"

Ethan's face grew darker and darker.

"Isn't there an old saying that goes—what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander? Does that not work in Russian too? Besides, if Mr. Matysh doesn't want Mr. Marcos involved in this matter, then having a drink shouldn't hinder Mr. Matysh's affairs, right?" Kastov was usually a quiet person, but when it came to discussing his work or anything related to the Island of Despair, he became more talkative.

Today, he could not help but lash out at Ethan, finding his demeanor unpleasant and his words offensive.

Ethan let out a cold snort, threatening Marcos, "I'll tell the old master everything you've been doing in City A."

"Hah." Kastov sneered, finding his words utterly meaningless. Ethan was acting like a little schoolboy, tattling on others. What was the point of doing this?

Marcos paid no attention to it. Ethan had been reporting his situation to the old master for the past few days. Adding one more thing about him drinking and having fun during Matysh's imprisonment would not be a problem.

Marcos said to Kastov, "Let's go inside and have a drink."

The two of them walked into the suite and closed the door in front of Ethan.

There was a loud bang. Ethan frowned. Marcos was not easy to manipulate. If the Russian family found out about this, he would face the consequences when he returned!

Kastov picked up the wine opener and uncorked the bottle.
