When the leader of the group that had come for Mutt started walking toward Miss Sterling, the expressions of the men from the Three Tigers Corps instantly changed, and they began to move closer to Stella Sterling.
Zane Xavier also watched them warily.
"Boss, that group that came for Mutt... what do you think they're up to? They can't be planning to provoke that terrifying woman, can they?"
In another group of people, one of Ronan Rhodes's underlings sidled up to the tall, thin man and whispered.
Ronan Rhodes was also a bit surprised. He glanced in their direction, a glint in his eyes, and then said to the man beside him, "This has nothing to do with us. We don't need to get involved."
Though he said that, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes as he watched the two of them.
Then, his gaze fell back on Mutt and the others, his thoughts unreadable.
Stella Sterling saw Felix Lawrence walking toward her and felt a pang of curiosity. 'Could it be that he recognized me?'
