Chapter 54

• Kael walked out of the basement, Harlan close behind him. He stopped just short of his car before speaking.
• "Clean up the mess and leave no trace," he said, his tone a bit cold. "He's very lucky I'm in a good mood. Get him back to his family in one piece. Then you guys can go back. I'll have someone send him a letter stating he's fired and he will also have his due monthly salary. I don't want to see him anywhere near my company again. I believe I have done more than I should for someone who betrayed me, right?"
• "That is right," Harlan replied, bowing slightly. Kael then opened his car door and slipped inside. He was dangerous, no doubt about it. But today... Today he seemed almost generous. Harlan had expected he might kill the man, yet somehow the man would be walking away alive. Luck, Harlan thought, or something worse.
