Barrett’s gaze lifted nonchalantly, a flicker of nothingness in his eyes, “I didn’t inform you.”

Lingering in the shadows, Evan spoke with a subdued voice, “Caleb and the others were my brothers too. To avenge them is my duty.”

Barrett’s indifferent gaze drifted past Evan, settling on the door that Aidyn had just shut, “You might as well go back with him, hear his side of the story.

A scornful smirk played on Evan’s lips, “He took me in, kept secrets from me. How is that different from grooming you, using you? The so-called truth is just honing two sharp blades.”

Both men were sharpened by Xavier to be blades; Barrett’s edge was turned against his own kin, while Evan’s was used to solidify Mr Penrod’s influence and secure loyalty.

The realization soured Evan’s thoughts, “In the end, Caleb, the members who died in the biozone, and the others, they were just pawns in Mr. Penrod’s revenge. And yet we served him loyally.”
