Nicholas was the boss, so naturally, he had the final say.

“But Mr. Nicholas, Tristan…” Alex muttered, his voice still tinged with worry.

Oh, dear. It won’t be long before that man finds his way here. We may not have a problem dealing with him in Anglandur, but we’re currently in Jetroina… Who knows what will happen?

“Alex, am I inferior to Tristan in your eyes? Is that why you’re so afraid of me going up against him?” Nicholas asked coldly.

There’s no way Tristan and I can ever coexist. Only when either of us dies can the other be at ease! Otherwise, our fight will go on with no end in sight!

“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Nicholas! I’m just worried about you,” Alex hastily explained. Besides, how could he dare think so lowly so his boss?

“Have someone pick up Arius and Barney,” Nicholas ordered. “Since we can’t afford to delay any longer with the operation on Sophie’s leg, I want you to bring them here immediately.”

In any case, I’d feel better with those two around. I know Sophie would never forgive me if something really happened to her legs, and that’s just too painful for me to bear.

Meanwhile, Arius and Barney had been waiting at the designated location for quite some time, yet no one was there to pick them up.

“Could Nicholas have changed his mind?” Barney asked amid the uncertainty. Not only were they in the dark about the situation, but they also had no control over it.

“I don’t know, either. Let’s hope he doesn’t go back on his word,” Arius replied. After all, Nicholas was in control, so what other choice did they have?

“Sophie Tanner is just a crazy, problematic woman!” Barney fumed. “How the hell did she get involved with a lunatic like Nicholas?”

“Sophie isn’t to blame for this. Nicholas was the one who kept pestering her shamelessly. Why else has this dragged on for so long?”

As much as Barney knew Sophie was not in the wrong, he couldn’t help but shoot his mentee a teasing smirk.
