"Why the fuck did you kill Henry?!" asked Jeremy, as if the act was utterly absurd. "The Ganghan Guild still exists… they might be the weakest of Azure Star Clan's vassals, but it's an indirect indication of war!"
"And who do you think they will wage war against?" asked Alex in a cocky tone, "because it sure won't be us."
"And whatever do you mean?" spat Jeremy in a tone of indignance. He released a bit of pressure, but before he could move, Naheer's dagger rested firmly on his throat.
Jeremy calmed himself before settling in his chair. "You're new to Telos Dou Dromou, aren't you?"
"Is it that obvious?" Alex asked, going with the flow. "I'm sorry, but I don't understand how things work around here. I'm a bit weak, too. Teach me, elder brother."
Naheer glanced at Alex with a complicated gaze. When they first met, Alex exuded a sense of hurry. It was like he was hell-bent on achieving something as fast as possible.
