But I couldn't shield him from a supposed loser! Is that what you are saying!?" Blancos barked in rage and closed the gap between him and Gerald who was completely rattled by the information he had just received.Gerald fidgeted and struggled on the chair he was strapped to, but the cords restraining him were firm.Blancos brought his face directly in front of Gerald."This loser and nobody reduced my best soldier—Scupio into a withered leaf, a f*cking withered vegetab
