Carson Flores laughed.
Everything Bryant James said was within his expectations. It was good this way; the more righteously Bryant spoke now, the more painful the slap of truth would be later.
Carson thought he might not have the chance to speak with Bryant again after Tommy Bernard approached him, but he didn't expect such a turn of events.
Very good!
At least he could enjoy Bryant's expression of despair up close, which would certainly make his mood even more delightful.
"Well said!"
Carson said with a smile, "Unfortunately, even wise men have their oversights. You worried about being exposed, so you went personally disguised to place the order, but alas, the fox was there at the time. Hearing that someone wanted to hire someone to kill the Human Emperor got him curious about who it was, so he changed his face and followed you…"
Bryant James's face changed drastically, as pale as death.
