Chapter 65

Gerard, his brows furrowed inquisitively, questioned the group of youngsters who had just arrived, "Why have you all arrived so late?" He and Xinthy had been patiently waiting for quite some time, as they had an important matter to discuss with Itzy.

The four men, who had kept them waiting, responded to Gerard's inquiry by bowing respectfully. Ryker, Laszlo, Linus, and Jace collectively expressed their deference to the older pair as a symbol of respect.

"We have something to report, Mr. Bush," Jace said with a hint of urgency in his voice. He raised his head, meeting Gerard's gaze with a seriousness that couldn't be ignored.

Gerard, a man of authority and experience, maintained his unwavering stare at Jace. The room was filled with an air of anticipation, and the only sound that broke the silence was the distant ticking of a grandfather clock.
