“It’s just a bottle of water. If they don’t want to drink it, that’s their problem. What does that have to do with me? You were the ones who insisted on taking them in. Why should I be the one to suffer for this? And who do you think you are, yelling at me like that?”

Martin was a steady man; he had kept his cool the whole way. But now his face turned red, his neck stiff. His vision blurred, and for a moment, he couldn’t even speak.

Xane let out a cold laugh. He raised a hand and lightly slapped Martin’s cheek, slow and casual. The gesture was full of insult. Drake’s eyes turned red almost at once.

“Watch that look,” Xane snapped, his mouth twisting in a crooked smirk. “I know you’re not happy. But what can you do about it? People like you were born to follow. When your boss gives an order, you obey.”

The woman stood there, stunned by how tense things had become. Then she snapped out of it and hurried forward, her voice gentle.

“Mr. Clark… Martin… can’t we just talk this out? We’re all on the same side. There’s no need for this to get se ugly…”

“Move.” Xane shoved her aside. “Who do you think you are?”

But as he pushed her, his hand brushed against something soft.

He froze.

Then he looked up. The woman’s face was bright red, filled with anger and embarras

The moment he realized what he had touched, something dark lit up inside him.

He licked his lips, eyes narrowing. “Huh… didn’t notice before. You’ve got quite a figure.”

Martin’s heart sank. He didn’t even care about the insult anymore. “Mr. Clark, we should keep moving. That’s more important right now.”

“Get lost!”

Desire had already taken over. Without thinking, Xane spun around–Smack! The sharp sound echoed as he slapped Martin across the face.

Everyone froze.

A clear handprint appeared on Martin’s rough cheek.

Drake nearly lost control. “Xane! Don’t push it too far! You think you’re that much better than us? If it weren’t for orders, I would’ve taken you down a hundred times already!”

Xane glanced at his own hand. He was arrogant, but not stupid. He knew he couldn’t push them

they snapped, things could spiral fast.

too far. If

And the man in front of him–silent the whole time–gave off a dangerous feeling that made his chest tighten.

“I…” He swallowed. “Why are you stopping me? I’m not being unreasonable. I just wanted to have a friendly talk with this lady. You were the one who started it.”

Martin’s chest rose and fell hard. He shut his eyes for a second. His fists tightened, then loosened, then tightened again. His throat moved as he swallowed.

At last, he forced out a sentence. “Drake, we can’t waste any more time.”

Hearing that, Xane finally relaxed. The fear on his face faded.

“If there are no supplies, then go find some,” he said with a sneer. “Why are you yelling in front of me? What, you think I can just make supplies appear?”

“Mr. Clark is right,” Martin said calmly. He didn’t even look at him. “Drake, take a few people. Let’s search the area for supplies.”

Since Martin didn’t argue, Drake had no choice but to swallow his anger. He clenched his jaw. “Yes, sir.”
