Chapter 423 Gossip Has Consequences

“What do you mean we’re being sent there? There’s no mission for us in that place!”

Lewis couldn’t wrap his head around it.

And more importantly, he didn’t want to.

That place could kill people.

Never mind the lack of showers–sure, he wasn’t as clean–obsessed as Eddie, but that didn’t mean he was ready to live like a caveman. The food alone would be a nightmare.

Silas said plainly, “Because your mouth is just as annoying as Eddie’s.”

Was that… supposed to be human language?

“Hey now, that’s a bit harsh. What’d I ever do to you?”

Silas replied, “Nothing to me–but you offended Victor.”

“What? When did I do that? This sounds serious, and I don’t remember a thing!” Lewis looked genuinely confused.

Silas stared at him like he was beyond help.

Lewis blinked. “Wait–you mean those little comments? Come on, that can’t be it.”

“He nearly drowned Eddie over those ‘little comments. You think he won’t come for you?”

Silas couldn’t forget the sight of Eddie swimming frantically for his life–ten kilometers out to sea–because of a prank. He barely made it.

These men held grudges like dragons hoarded treasure.

By the time Victor came downstairs, Lewis was shooting Silas resentful glances. Silas, clearly done, had turned his face away and was pretending not to notice.

Victor descended the stairs in a deep navy robe.

Long legs, open collar, and a glimpse of his chest–accentuated by the dark wolf tattoo stretching across his skin. The dim morning light made it seem alive.

Silas couldn’t help but think: That build… how does someone like Tessa even survive beside a man like that?

Victor sat on the couch, voice cold. “Everything handled?”

Silas nodded. “Yes. All taken care of. We left one alive for you.”

Standard protocol.

Victor nodded.

Then his eyes shifted toward Lewis.

That look alone sent a chill down Lewis’s spine. He shuddered–and without thinking, dropped to the floor.

“Victor! I’m sorry! I really am! Please don’t send me to Mambia Desert. I swear I’ll change!”

Victor’s expression darkened.

Lewis babbled faster. “I swear! I swear on my life–I’ll never gossip about you again!”

Wait–what?

The entire room fell into a stunned silence.

Did he really just say that?

Victor’s face twitched.

Ahahe said, amused now. “So you’ve been gossiping about me?”

He emphasized gossip with a dangerous edge.

Lewis blinked, confused at first–then nodded, flustered. He didn’t know how else to respond.

And just like that, the atmosphere froze.

Sitasslowly turned his head away, as if trying to pretend he wasn’t associated with any of this..

This idiot…he thought. Please, please don’t drag me into this.

Hiddalways tried to shut Lewis up when he started talking nonsense.

Tins wasntude discussion–it was one–way rumor–spreading, entirely on Lewis’s end.

Unfortunately, lewis didn’t notice Silas frantically giving him warning glances.
