"Caelen, I already turned a blind eye when you wanted to have the son of Noah Ahn kidnapped."

This was so fucking crazy.
"But demanding for a gate just after the announcement? There are things even I can't do."
'KIDNAPPING SOMEONE IS OKAY BUT YOU CROSS THE LINE AT DEMANDING FOR A GATE?' Eli wanted to yell—wanted to throw it right in the man's face.
But he couldn't.
Because the one speaking wasn't just anyone. It was one of the most powerful and influential guild masters in all of Korenea.
The one and only Zacharias Kim.
Guild Master. Founder of Lion's Fang.
Right after Caelen had ordered Arman to request a gate, the reply hadn't come from an underling—it had been a direct summon from Zacharias himself.
And, of course, Caelen didn't go alone. He'd had Punzo and Arman flank Eli like armed escorts, practically dragging him up to the topmost floor of Lion's Fang headquarters.
