Chris May gave a soft chuckle, his expression equal parts amused and dismissive, as though Issac had just performed a small party trick to entertain him.
“Robert ‘Bobby’ Kane has dominated Redharrow for decades,” he said with cool indifference. “Even my May family doesn’t have the authority to force him into submission—not here in Redharrow.”
His eyes sharpened slightly, the corners crinkling with mocking curiosity.
“And you claim you’ll personally end him?”
He tilted his head, smiling as if enjoying the absurdity.
“I truly wonder—when Robert Kane returns, will you still sound so confident?”
Issac didn’t blink.
“You can’t handle him because your May family isn’t strong enough,” he replied calmly.
The banquet hall froze.
The temperature in the room felt like it plummeted.
Chris’s
