Chapter 494
"Just as I suspected." Wolfe glared from one to the other. "You have much to answer for."
"If you mean your guards" Jorick began. Wolfe cut him off.
"That is an issue. More important are the orders you disobeyed. You were to return with me to Munich, instead you ran to Laos. You do not understand what it means to serve the Sodalitas!"
"I don't serve them. I was only reinstated because Malick thought I would join his rebellion. I'm not here by their command, or yours. I'm here to kill Malick."
"He isn't here."
"He will be."
Wolfe and Jorick glowered at one another while clouds of power gathered around them. Finally Wolfe relented. "Yes. Our intelligence reports that he will arrive tomorrow with an army. We know that Samael can stop them. Whether he will or not remains to be seen, just as we're unsure whether he would respect civilian lives. As a precaution, we have evacuated the area. No one is allowed to enter. That includes you."
