"I'll ask if he's free."
Lily thought for a long time. Refusing again would seem a bit odd, so she just gave a perfunctory reply.
Over on his end, Luis received a call that gave him a slight headache. It was from Dominic, wanting to apologize to him in person about the incident with his son.
After all, David had pulled a knife. Even though Luis wasn't hurt, he was definitely frightened. As the father, he naturally had to show some gesture.
It wasn't that he had much of a conscience, but rather that Hail was putting immense pressure on him. Now, even if he and the Leon family joined forces, they wouldn't gain much advantage.
With the asset liquidation underway, every single person in the Taiga and Leon families had to consider their own interests. Dominic felt he should extract himself from the quagmire of the Leon family's internal strife and avoid being dragged down with them.
"Not free!"
Luis refused outright.
