Ryan supported his grandfather, who wasn't in good spirits, as they gloomily returned to the Yael Residence. The situation had turned overwhelming for the Yaels since no one expected Colton to be so ruthless.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Impatiently, he took out his phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered the call with a sense of trepidation. It was their backer; he couldn't afford to offend them.
"I heard your bases were destroyed?"
A cacophony of electronic noises reached Ryan's ears, a sound he had become accustomed to. The backer never revealed their true voice when making phone calls.

The backer's attitude was absolute, promptly hanging up the call, giving Ryan no chance to respond.
As Ryan listened to the busy tone on his phone, his heart turned to ashes. This time, the Yael Family is doomed for good…
