A week after I moved into Melina's manor and officially became her private tutor (along with becoming Adrian's), I received a call from the Silver Wolves. From none other than the big man himself, Feng Hai.
"Are you there, Richard?"
"No, I'm Poorard, answering on Richard's behalf. Of course I'm here. Who do you think picked up the phone? My dad?"
If he was offended by my sarcasm, Feng Hai didn't express his disapproval. Instead, he went straight to the topic at hand.
"I'm afraid I've some very bad news."
I immediately felt a chill run down my spine, and inadvertently tightened my grip on my smartphone. Gulping, I ventured with my question.
"What bad news?"
"Regarding Anastasia…we've been betrayed."
