Louis didn't wait for a reaction from anyone there. He left the cards on the table and took the rest with him.
He didn't need to worry about anything else when he was now the leader of this place.
Theos and the other leaders of Ancient Moon grabbed the cards and what belonged to them and left with their heads down. They didn't even know what to say or do.
They needed information.
Jackvin looked at the remains of Iseni and then at Fraid.
Fraid smiled slightly.
"Don't blame me. Life takes many turns." He shrugged as he sat down. "Looks like we'll be working together again."

How had he been saved? Could he really outwit one of the Lockward Family Executioners?
Processing the information took time.

That day, Theos did not return to the Ancient Moon headquarters. He didn't even know what face to use to look at his employees, etc.
