Belfor slammed his right palm on the desk, glaring at Rick with eyes burning in anger.
Rick didn't dare look back. He lowered his head, trembling with fear.
"Leader, please, don't be angry yet. Listen to my explanation," he said, his voice shaking.
But Belfor's fury only grew. He slammed his palm against the desk again.
Bang!
The thunderous sound made Rick's fear deepen.
"What explanation? What's the use of explanations when things have already turned out like this?" Belfor growled.
The Castellan family, which he had worked so hard to support and invest in, had collapsed and fallen into the hands of the Valmire family.
And that wasn't all. The ruling power of the eastern region, the Austin family, had taken up the matter and uncovered overwhelming evidence of their crimes.
