Even his own son, whom Lana had saved, had never spoken a word about it.
That very ignorance was what allowed the mastermind to act so recklessly.

Ian quickly composed himself and looked back at Lana, sincerity written plainly across his face.
"This time, I was wrong. I ask for your forgiveness. I'll personally ensure that all the resources you need are gathered."

She let out a quiet breath and smiled. Just as she was about to close the matter, Ian continued,
"Since we already have a connection, it would be best if we exchanged numbers. If either of us needs help in the future, we can contact each other."
It was an indirect olive branch.
Lana observed the faint white aura surrounding Ian Rivers, then smiled. "That would be good."
She flicked a glance toward Lucian.
He gave a subtle nod. Lana took out her phone, and the numbers were exchanged swiftly.
