Desperate

Will you help me kill somebody,' were the words that everybody in their group heard. Jane, Serena, Dempsy, and Hugh all stopped in their tracks as Aric blurted it out.

Hugh shook his head and slapped his head. He could not believe that Aric would blurt out that taboo so easily.

Jane did not know anything about Maverick, so she was confused about the whole situation. She even thought that Aric was kidding, but the whole vibe that time told her a different story.

Serena had already heard it from Aric and Hugh, so she was not that surprised. Dempsy only looked at Aric with a serious expression.

"No. Why would I? I'm too lazy to do that," Dempsy replied. Then, he continued to walk away from Aric without even missing a beat.

"Come on! Help me out this one time!" Aric shouted out. He knew that he should gather as much power as he could so that he could stand a chance against his father.
