The internal purge within the Apex Predators never required Ethan's direct involvement. Voss handled it personally, and with chilling efficiency, rooting out the last remnants loyal to the third and fourth leaders. Those who had chosen the wrong side were given a simple option: leave, or stay and face the consequences.
Not a single man chose to remain. Only a complete idiot would linger after a failed betrayal, especially when doing so meant painting a clear target on his own back.
As roughly four hundred men gathered their gear and prepared to depart, Voss raised his voice, cutting through the low murmur of movement. "You can leave this camp," he said evenly. "But remember this. You're still Apex Predators when you're inside Ethereal. In there, we're still brothers."
