“Kenneth?” Barbara said in surprise, “What about him? Did he offend you? But he’s in Aurous Hill right now!”

“Yes. I’m in Aurous Hill too,” Anthony said earnestly, “And I saw Kenneth. To be honest, he didn’t do anything to me, but he offended my savior. The man is very important to me, so much so that I owe him my life. So, for the sake of gratitude to my savior, I have to draw a line with the Wilson family. Sorry.”
