Victor laughed humourlessly. "You expect Eagles Print to believe that some recently established gang with an eighteen-year-old leader is responsible for all this?"
Bloodstain immediately nodded. "Because he is."
Victor stared at him with a look of disbelief followed by anger. "Are you listening to yourself?"
The pressure in the room grew heavier as Victor continued.
"You are telling me..." he pointed toward one of the reports. "...that an eighteen-year-old kid who became awakened this year somehow defeated Darius Bentley?"
The room became quiet while Victor's eyes narrowed. "Darius... a veteran..."
"Twenty-plus years awakened."
"A Tier 2."
"A man who fought in gang wars before your little West Einstein was even born."
His voice turned colder as he added. "And somehow this child killed him?"
Bloodstain immediately spoke. "That's not what I'm saying."
Victor stared while Bloodstain continued quickly. "I'm saying West is responsible."
