A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1417

Evan’s words hung in the air, a mix of reason and temptation that even Sheldon’s men, clad in black, couldn’t ignore.

“Mr. Pine,” they began, their loyalty wavering, “we’re sent out here like lambs to the slaughter, and for what? They didn’t even give us enough backup.”

“Yeah, why should we keep risking our necks for them?”

Once one spoke up, the rest followed suit, a chorus of dissent.

Sheldon looked down at the gun in his hand, his furrowed brow a clear sign of his internal struggle.

“Uncle,” Robin stepped forward, unable to fully accept Bernard as his cousin, but recognizing the gravity of the situation. “I know you’re

loyal to Area Opaca, but this is a no-win for you. Just watch from the sidelines this time.”

“As for the Pine family’s beef with the Sirens, let’s settle that score later. Don’t let your brothers die for nothing.”

Sheldon’s hesitant gaze flicked to Robin, then to Bernard, who hadn’t yet spoken.

“What do you think?”

Bernard’s voice was deep and commanding, resonating through the crackling fires of the forest.
