He gritted his teeth and replied with difficulty, âYes, he said the truth.

Debraâs POV:
This was too much!
The Thorn Edge Pack and Roz Town had made a deal for the construction of the Roz District.
How could they halt it so callously?
As I watched the arrogant Kane in front of me, rage filled my mind, and my rationality almost deserted me.
Putting a tight leash on my anger, I pulled Carlos to one side and whispered, âCarlos, I brought the people of Roz Town here in exchange for the medicine that can cure the newborns of the Thorn Edge Pack.
Now that you have received the medicine, are you going to go back on your word?â
Carlos pressed his lips into a thin line and said helplessly, âI donât want this to happen either.
Itâs justâ¦â
âItâs just what? Is our collaboration simply a joke?â I questioned with barely contained rage.
Carlos massaged his temples as he replied, âItâs just that only Caleb, his father, and I have knowledge of the deal.
No one else has an inkling about it.
We canât blame them.

âIs it right to go back on your promise because you donât know about the deal? Are you treating the residents of Roz Town justly?â
A plume of smoke curled up to the sky from the burnt building, like the final gasp of a dying patient.
An offensive smell filled the air, as if indicating the unwillingness of the people of Roz Town.
I observed the scene in front of me for a moment and felt very sad.
I complained angrily, âCarlos, you also know that this was arson.
But not only do you refuse to give us justice, but you also threaten us with the suspension of construction.
I demand an explanation for the residents of Roz Town!â
Carlos remained silent, unable to refute my allegations.

I smiled bitterly when I saw the embarrassed look on his face.
âAnyway, things canât continue like this.
Now the construction of the district has ground to a halt everywhere, and the second batch of residents will arrive soon.
I canât let them suffer.
â
âWhat are you going to do?â Carlos asked.
âI will have a discussion with Caleb at the earliest.
No matter the cost, we have to resolve this issue in the shortest time possible.
â
âButâ¦â
Before Carlos could finish his sentence, his phone rang, cutting his words off.
An unknown number flashed on the display screen.
