Ness Going to that dinner is like receiving an invitation to the very mouth of the wolf. However, I have to admit that it’s a mouth I’m eager to step into. If there’s any place in this mansion where I can find the information I’m looking for, it’s Zeldric’s private wing. I finish adjusting the cuffs of my sweater and patiently wait for Lagos to appear. I’m starting to think my first impression of him wasn’t so wrong. He seems like a good man—at least, that’s what he appears to be. It’s also possible that he’s testing me. He found me surrounded by a bunch of men, one of whom even made s****l insinuations. And although he seemed furious, he never raised his voice or lost his composure. That’s very unusual. I’ve met hundreds of criminals from different nationalities—Russians, Italians, Turk
