Chapter 1417

“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?”

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

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