Tension rose.


    “Who is this now?” Furrowing his brows, Ryan asked through clenched teeth.


    If only he and Justin had not carried out the operation hastily. Otherwise, Ryan would have brought


    more reinforcement. At least, they would not be outnumbered.


    The chief was no threat to Ryan. Even Savrow’s mayor would step on eggshells in Ryan’s presence.


    “How old are you? You sure can’t hold yourself together when you encounter a tiny issue.”

    The brooch was a personally designed birthday present from Alexa.
