A glint of coldness flashed in Howard's eyes as he said, "Kellman, you understand that this matter must not be exposed, right?"
Staring into Howard's eyes, Kellman shivered.
After these days of interaction, he understood too well what that look in Howard's eyes meant.
It was the look of someone ready to kill, reminiscent of the time when Tina was bullied by the Empire Knights Order.
"You're planning to kill them? But they're innocent!"
Kellman couldn't let such an act happen.
Integrity was vital, especially among mercenaries.
Promising payment for a job and then betraying them after the deed was done – that was unthinkable.
"Brother Howard!" Kellman's voice was stern as he stared intently at Howard.
He could overlook past incidents as they were acts of necessity, but now he would not yield.
