"Caden Carter, is your South Division fed on bull manure or what?!"
"A mere Snowpeak Mountain Station has fallen twice now! The first time, you blamed a sudden attack by the Skywing Wolf—fine. But what's your excuse this time?!"
"And most importantly, my niece has only been training there for two months and already ran into danger. Is this how your South Division protects people?!"
High above the Snowpeak Mountains, a bearded man's brows were furrowed into a fierce scowl as he berated the uniformed officer before him.
Behind the officer stood Chloe Carter, her head lowered in discomfort. In the entire South Division, aside from her Uncle Harold Carter, no one would dare speak to Caden Carter this way. Yet now, due to her own oversight, even her cousin—one who had always shown her great care—had to endure such abuse.
The one hurling insults was Morgan Jones, the paternal uncle of Marissa Jones and also Caden Carter's old friend from university.
