“Why?” Lucas evidently could not read Quince’s mind. “Can’t you see that these people are toying with us?”

However, Quince grinned. His eyes were glued on Ashton as he enunciated, “As expected of the richest man in Chanaea. You’re a good judge in both things and people. I will thank you on behalf of the organization for your goodwill, and we’ll consider your offer.”

With that said, he stood up and gave us a curt nod as a farewell before turning to leave. “We’ll take our leave now.”

Lucas was confounded, and it took him several seconds to snap back to his senses. “What the f*ck are you doing?”

Then, he spat on the ground before begrudgingly following Quince out.
