It took less than five minutes for the bodyguard to return. He stood at the door, not entering, but gesturing for someone to come

in. “Mister Rabb, please.”

Kase walked in.

“George, what's this all about?”

Kase swaggered into the office, plopped down across from George, and Jabbed a finger toward Alexander scornfully. “I asked for

a one-on-one. Why’s this guy here?! I want an answer!”

He was so full of himself, thinking he was the big shot.

George waved a hand, signaling Kase to chill, and explained with a grin. “He’s one of the crew.

You can trust him. Whatever you say here stays here.”

One of the crew?

Kase gave Alexander a quick once-over, found nothing off, and turned back to George, pointing a

finger. “Here’s the deal-recruitment.

“The boss says if you're in, he’s got a golden ticket for you. You could be a big shot in Zabaleta, Ol Mare, up North-anywhere but

playing second fiddle to Alexander!

“And if you're up to snuff, you could be the top dog, the Redwine family’s number one Envoy.

Whatever Alexander’s paying you, the boss will double it!”

Whoa! He was trying to steal him away right under Alexander’s nose?

The Redwine family must have had a death wish, but George surely did not.

George was seething on the inside but kept his composure. He shot Alexander a look that

screamed ‘help me out here’.

Alexander just smirked and gave a tiny hook with his pinky. His lips twitched ever so slightly.

The message was clear: ‘Keep him talking.”

“The boss also said...”

Kase was oblivious to the silent communication between Alexander and George, sitting there with

his chest puffed out in self-importance. “Soon, my Redwine family will make a bold move and take over all of Zabaleta’s

underground empire!

“George, you’re the kingpin of Ol’ Mare without the crown. Without Alexander, you call the shots.

“When it’s time, just pull together some muscle from Ol’ Mare to back the Redwine family. The boss will make sure you’re

handsomely rewarded for your loyalty.”

Was that what the Redwine family actually believed would happen? How laughable!

Would George really switch sides to the Redwine family?

He knew exactly who the ‘ally’ sitting beside him was. Others might be in the dark, but George

knew the truth.

The man was the stuff of legends, the Chesire family’s famous son-in-law, the security chief of

the New Chesire Group. In truth, however, he was the fearsome Lord of War, the unstoppable

Temple Lord Kane. He was a titan on equal footing with the mighty Regulus Windsur, the

strongest man alive!

Him, turning his back on Sir Kane for the Redwine family? Only if he had lost his mind or taken a

donkey's kick to the head. Even a fool knew better than to make that mistake!

“Are you done talking?”

Alexander was not about to waste more time on this bit player. He casually pointed toward the office door and said nonchalantly,

“There’s an old rule of war—don’t kill the messenger. Consider

yourself lucky. Now, beat it.”

Kase’s face went white—hot with rage as he shot up from his chair. “George, you call this gu of us? He’s got some nerve talking

to me like that!”

He locked eyes with Alexander, his gaze threatening. “You think you’re brave? Say it again, I dare you! Do you even know who

you're messing with? Dallas Redwine, the big shot of the Redwine

family!

“You better take back what you said, and fast. My boss has got the backing of the top families around. Cross me, and you’re

crossing him, crossing the whole northern power circle. You

wouldn't last a second!”

Was that it?

Alexander just laughed.

He turned to George, his voice low and steady. “Fill him in on how we do things here. He can take the message to Dallas.”

George did not flinch, his stare Icy as he faced down Kase, oozing authority.

“You listen here: It doesn’t matter if it’s the Redwine family or the whole northern tycoons. Ol' Mare isn’t scared of anyone.

“Bring two, and I'll drop two. Bring ten, and they’re all going down! A hundred, a thousand, tent thousand... I'll take them all on!

“Stir up trouble in Or Mare, and it won’t matter if you’re the king of heaven—you break our rules, you’re done for. No exceptions!”
