Chapter 19 The Fall Of Max Carl

The audacity—the sheer nerve—of that statement, telling him to prove his worth, stung deeper than he cared to admit. It wasn’t just an insult; it was a challenge to his intelligence.
• If not for his temper, he might have walked away. Instead, his jaw tightened.
• “I should prove what I’m worth?” Max scoffed, voice sharp. “You should be the one proving your worth, not me! I am ten times more influential than your entire bloodline yet to come. Prove yourself instead.”
