Ves wanted to play no part in the schemes hatched by the Gemini Family.
Though the powerful pioneering group had meticulously abided by all of the terms of their shared agreement, the Geminis had left out too many truths and details about the assault on the Palace of Shame.
It became clearer and clearer to him that the Gemini Family harbored no goodwill at all towards the other pioneering groups that it had fooled into participating in this assault.
The Golden Skull Alliance almost suffered a loss due to the Gemini Family's reticence towards sharing any intelligence related to the formidable orven battleship and the recently awoken unclean whale.
While the collective might of the Larkinsons and the other human participants eventually prevailed, the margin was far too close to Ves' liking.
He did not like being pushed into a corner.
