Just as Alaric began to relax, Bryant’s expression darkened, and with a crushing motion, he extinguished his fiery red cigarette butt, “Breaking one of your legs should square us.” “Wait, what?”

Alaric was quick to clasp around his leg, pleading, “Mr. Ferguson, I was wrong! I got carried away, please spare me…”

His leg injury from that mishap in Old Creek hadn’t fully healed, and now he was risking another!

Realizing pleading with Bryant was futile, he turned to York, “Cousin, please, help me out here…”

“You had it coming.”

Without waiting for Bryant to react, York ordered his men to haul Alaric away.

Nadine’s face turned ghostly pale as she sensed the stark divisions within this world!

Alaric could easily manipulate her.

But in Bryant’s presence, he was less than a dog.

The commotion drained Bryant of any remaining interest, and as he stood to leave, he paused to glance at Nadine in the corner, his expression softening for a moment. He instructed York, “Take care of her.”

“Will do.”
