"Took you quite long?" Vitori asked, his eyes never leaving the book in his hands.
His platinum silver hair framed his chiseled face as he continued, "You're three days late, Kaizek."
The man standing before him was none other than the one who had subdued William back in the minefield.
It had been a few days since that incident—so where had he been all this time?
"I apologize, sir, but I needed to check on my family."
Vitori raised a brow and finally looked up. "Is everything alright?"
The man, his eyes covered with a thick bandage, gave a slow nod. "Yes, sir. Just that.. My younger brother got himself involved with the people I always warned him about."
Vitori let out a quiet sigh. "So… he chose his path in the end."
He had heard about Kaizek's brother before. Vitori personally recruited his guards, so he naturally knew them well.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "So… what did you do?"
Kaizek's reply was flat and steady. "Executed him, sir."
