“I have something that could change everything in your favor but you have to pay a price for it.” Valerie said.Asher wondered how fast word spread in the sect, his eyebrows arched upward.“What is it you have Valerie?”Valerie hesitated ,glancing around the room before focusing on Asher. “You are a witch, you know this place is safe.”“It is not as safe as you think Asher is.”“You have never called me Dragon lord since I took over from your master.” Asher said.“A dog can only serve one master Asher.” Valerie said.“Then how do I know that you are not planning to add to my problem, whose side are you on?” Asher asked.“I came to meet you, I am not going to involve myself in two Dragon head fights,you both have the star of kings. I can't be involved in your bloody fight.” Valerie said.“Are you still interested in what I have?” Valerie asked.“You are the only one in the sect that knows that I did not kill them.” he said barely above a whisper. “But you placed the cause on him, did

No one knew the truth behind that fateful night except himself and Asher. The weight of Dere's words hung heavy on Liam’s heart.As Liam struggled to process the enormity of it all, a knock at the door brought him back from his thoughts.“Knock knock.”"Come in," Liam called out calmly.The door opened, and Cynthia entered. "Mr Miller,” Cynthia said politely.Liam was surprised about her tone, this is the first time she is addressing him politely. Her expression detached. "Miss Mathhew wants to see you in her office right away."Liam looked at her eyes, sensing a hint of disdain in Cynthia's tone. He nodded, rising from his chair."Any idea what it's about?"

We must discuss Asher's... indiscretions."Liam's response was immediate. “I already told you my response and it still stands.”“Have a nice day.” Liam said.“The only way to avenge your grandfather is to take his title from the one who killed him.” Dere said.There was a long pause before Liam responded.“I am at work, I will call you when I clock out.” Liam said sternly and ended the call.Derek's face twisted into a scowl. "Refusing my summons? Foolish boy!" He snarled, slamming his fist on the table.immediately, Derek summoned Victor, his most trusted warrior.“Who is there?!” he roared.A young warrior entered immediately, Dere tried to keep his cool.“Call me Victor right now!” he said, the guard hurriedly left the room to fetc
