Just a minute later, James caught the flicker of doubt in Alec's eyes.
Finally, James spoke up, "Alright, everyone, rise and shine. Let your young master see for himself so he can rest easy."
The folks who had been playing dead on the ground all got up. It was just a little scare tactic for the duo.
James, with a hint of coolness, said, "Did you honestly think your guys could just waltz onto the campus I locked down? If I hadn't let them in, they wouldn't even have caught a glimpse of the front gates."
Alec listened to James and suddenly saw the vast difference between them. Over the years, he thought he had come into his own, ready to handle things solo. Yet, next to James, he realized he was still just a rookie, relying on cheap tricks. This was the prowess of the former head honcho of Burke International?
"A man of his word stands firm. Remember what you promised," James said, his face unreadable as he walked away.
The mercenaries and Tredgold Corporation bodyguards on the field made their exit too. Back in the day, when the Burke family teamed up with the big four families against The Silent Shadows, their strategies were as tricky as they were varied. No wonder their young master couldn't outmaneuver them.
One of the Tredgold bodyguards stepped up to Alec and said, "Young master, we've got orders from the boss and the madam, so we've got to follow them. Mr. Burke just wants the best education for Miss Fiona, so there's nothing to worry about."
With James and Mr. Aldridge in the picture, Miss Fiona was as safe as can be.
