"And those who aren't interested…" Sungjun added quietly, so that only the nearest could hear, but loud enough that the catch on the other side of the hall felt it like a draft. "I have an exit door prepared for you without any repercussions. If you are not worth to Pavel, then there is no use for you, for me. You may become an independent force and act on your own.

Just remember these words of mine… Unlike my late father, I won't hesitate to burn my own hand to burn down your entire house."
Silence wrapped the hall like a cloak. No one spoke for a while; perhaps, they were either thinking or were really intimidated. But some were quite confused about what happened to this Pakhan of theirs. They felt like his personality had changed.
