It's easier to ask for forgiveness than approval

Even though Mathew and his group left the room first, they still had to wait outside for a guide that Marcus would assign to them.

After all, even though they were going to snatch a considerable number of people from Marcus' camp, it was still a thing of the future. And for now, only Marcus and his men had the ability to command those under them.

Yet, as it soon turned out, the guide appeared to be someone they already knew. And someone they were talking with just recently.

"You?" Mathew raised one of his eyebrows when he saw the approaching man. "Don't you have more important things to do or something?" he then asked.

"I'm just curious how you are going to convince those people to leave with you," Marcus grinned while locking his hand behind his back. "Even if I'm protecting them as of now, it was one hell of trouble to force them to fall in line. So, I can't help but be curious," he smiled while looking right into Mathew's face.
