"Imagine if he complains to his father, who happens to lead one of the most influential families. With so many witnesses here, you know whose side the government would take, r-i-g-h-t?," Marcus said slowly and firmly.
Eoin hesitated, his fierce demeanor wavering under Marcus's reasoning.
He knew Marcus was right—the consequences of Solos' actions could escalate quickly if taken to the authorities.
The crowd's murmurs grew louder, sensing the tension and awaiting the outcome.
"Fine," Eoin finally said through gritted teeth, stepping back but keeping a wary eye on me. "But this isn't over."
Marcus turned to me, a calm yet stern expression on his face. "You too, calm down. No need to escalate things further."
I took a deep breath, my anger subsiding slightly.
I knew Marcus was right as well.
Continuing this fight would only make things worse, and I had already made my point clear.
