Normally, he wore a perpetual grin on his face that never truly conveyed his emotions, but right now, his expression had twisted into a frown, and he was clearly displeased.
"Looks like your scheme went down in flames this time, Adder." The alluring blonde-haired woman sitting across from him said. Seemingly enjoying his current state.
"Yes, this was unfortunate, to say the least. Even if the plan failed, I did not expect to lose all of my pawns. And it seems I'm going to have to sacrifice even more pieces just to stay in the game. If only we we're closer to my base, I could have Camila cover some things up and minimize the damage."
Staring into the glass filed with a dark green liquid in front of him, Adder contemplated why his scheme to have Nianni Taador abducted failed so miserably.
