Seeing Callum’s confidence, Kane shook his head and waved his hand, signaling Stinger and his team to release Hugo and step back. 

“Very well, Callum. I’m curious to see what kind of backup you have to defeat me.” 

Felix had ordered this task, and Kane needed to handle it thoroughly with no loose ends. Any hint of trouble reaching Felix would be seen as a serious dereliction of duty. 

“Ha! You’re indeed someone of great stature, Lord Kane. Your action now might help you avoid some blame.” 

At this moment, four people emerged from the house behind them–two elderly men, a middle–aged man, and a beautiful woman. 

“Kane, is it true that you’re here to take Hugo?” Once they stopped, Callum’s father, Edward Lambert, was the first to speak. His tone carried a certain air of authority.

aligned with such a significant figure. 

Ernest was a revolutionary. Even setting aside his status, his son was now a high–ranking general, someone Kane could not provoke. 

“Don’t be rude!” Ernest suddenly scolded Sherlyn and then turned to Hugo. “Have you killed anyone, Hugo?” 

Startled, Hugo quickly replied, “I haven’t, Mr. Holt.” 

“Have you injured anyone?” 

Injured? Hugo thought that Ernest was likely referring to the incident with Kane. 

“No, I swear!” The kick he had given Warren was more of a blow to Warren’s pride rather than causing physical harm.
