Lionel clenched his jaw, a resigned look on his face as he looked at Leo, who nodded.
Looking at Noah, he swallowed his built-up saliva.
"We'll... work under you."
"Smart man," Noah replied.
With a light smirk, he continued. "Welcome to your new life."
"Let me tell you a fun fact about me," Noah said and paused.
"I hate betrayals more than anything. If I hear, see or catch any of you having such thoughts. You will wish that you died before I found out."
"Am I clear?"
Lionel's face paled, and Leo swallowed hard at the threat, both of them nodding.
"You are loud and clear," Lionel replied, his voice low with obedience.
The fear in his eyes was loud enough to show his understanding.
Noah's smirk remained, his cold eyes freezing them with a look that felt like they were held at gunpoint.
Well... they kind of were.
