The moment Ethan spoke, the smile on Raymond's face vanished.
He was the boss of this compound—a peak Tier 6 Awakened. In a place with over twenty thousand survivors, everyone bowed their heads when they saw him. No one dared talk back.
Yet this young man didn't give him even a shred of respect.
Just as Raymond's temper flared, Tyler rushed over and whispered something in his ear.
Raymond's expression shifted. He stared at Tyler, clearly doubting what he'd just heard.
"You sure about that?"
"Positive," Tyler said grimly, nodding.
Raymond's face twisted through a series of emotions before he finally forced a smile back onto his face and turned to Ethan.
"If Kyle's done anything to offend you, I'll apologize on his behalf," he said smoothly. "If you want compensation, just name it. I'll do my best to make it right. How's that sound?"
The people around them exchanged stunned glances.
Was this really their boss?
Since when did he talk like that?
