Ronald knew Charles to be decisive and unforgiving, just like Steven. He never held back against his foes, which made his current actions all the more puzzling.

Charles just smirked. “Seems like using Mr. Fischer’s tricks once in a while isn’t a bad idea!”

Ronald’s brow creased as he remembered a story about Steven. He had wanted to turn a woman into a top–notch agent. He supposedly threw her into a den of snakes and wolves, making her fight for survival among the beasts every single day.

He kept the woman close, finding joy in breaking her spirit every day. Eventually, she turned into his most powerful ally. She served the heartless man as a tool for others and for herself.

Ronald never understood why Steven liked to be so cruel, but Steven sure seemed to love it. Charles and Peter usually did not agree with Steven, but Charles was acting just like him now. Ronald felt sorry for Winter. She had made an enemy of the wrong guy.
