Chapter 437
Raymond looked at Black with an expression that betrayed nothing beyond a faint, almost imperceptible trace of amusement, the kind that lived only at the corners of his eyes rather than in any obvious smile, and when he finally spoke, his voice carried the same unsettling calmness that had already begun to unnerve everyone in the room. "Well," he said slowly, "even though I was expecting this." Black's eyes narrowed slightly. "I was expecting that they would send somebody," Raymond continued. "I knew they would eventually try to find whoever was responsible. I was expecting that much. But I was not expecting them to send you." He paused, letting his gaze travel over Black with an evaluating slowness that made the insult unmistakable even before he finished speaking. "Why would they send you?" Raymond asked. "You, of all people. Is this some kind of joke? What exactly is going on here that they would think you were the right person to send?" The words landed with quiet precision,

Without wasting another second, Black tightened his grip around the phone and spoke with renewed determination, as though he had already made up his mind and was now only waiting for permission to put his plan into action. “Why don’t you allow me to handle this myself?” he asked Melissa’s grandfather’s brother. “Why don’t you just give me the opportunity?” The older man did not respond immediately, so Black continued, his voice becoming more persuasive with every sentence. “I have only recently been accepted into the circle,” he said. “I have just entered the circle, and I have not been given the chance to carry out a mission for it before. This would be my first real assignment, and I want to prove that I am capable of doing the work expected of me.” He paused briefly, then added, “Please, allow me to do this myself. I am certain that I can handle it, and I am certain that I can do a remarkable job. I am not asking because I want to disobey the boss or undermine anyone’s auth

At that moment, Raymond turned his attention toward Megan, watching her expression carefully as the tension in the room settled into an uneasy quiet. Her face had softened, though there was still a flicker of something guarded behind her eyes, the same wariness she had carried since Melissa first walked through the door.Melissa, standing a short distance away, was seething.She was angry—genuinely angry—though nothing in her outward composure betrayed it. Her jaw remained relaxed, her hands calm at her sides, her expression polished into the same practiced pleasantness she had worn since entering the room.
