"Mr. Lim!" Jim Walker greeted as he entered the dining room.
Over the months since Ian had been working with the Rajas and proving his ability, he had come to know the different core leaders. Of course, William Trent was still calling all the shots, but not everything had to go through him.
"Mr. Walker, you arrived much earlier than I expected." Ian said in a distant tone. This was the image he was projecting to them. He was aloof and dangerous, the kind of man you wanted to please.
"Well, as soon as we heard that the Reyes Group was crashing we knew you had a role to play in it." Jim said with a huge grin as he and the others settled down on their usual seats.
Only one person was missing, and that was William Trent.
Ian knew that he would be the last one to arrive that night. He knew that William Trent liked having a grand entrance, this was the only place where people saw his true power.
