Chapter 48
My grave tone was laced with threat as I turned to face her supporter, Leo, and warned him
icily.
“Keep your people in check, Mr. Leo! Next time, the consequences won’t be this mild. It’s my
guarantee!”
Even though my company’s new branch in Lakon city wasn’t stable, dealing with an ordinary hockey player was well within my abilities. I just had to pull some strings, and Leo would be a part of the past, a new star would quickly take his place.
