"Zale?" Arctic called out his name in a threatening manner.
"You still do not know who call the cards here. None of you have the right to make any order. I choose who leaves and stays and right now I am not feeling as generous as before. Everyone stays."
"What?"
"Zale Anders!"
"Don't you dare!" Jade bellowed at him. "You made a deal, keep it, you monster!"
