Chapter "Outbreak Of Aggression"

"Who's calling?" Sheryl inquired, her voice tinged with concern.

"Kenshin," Hamlyn responded tersely.

A wave of tension engulfed the group, leaving them stunned and terrified. Sheryl reacted swiftly, reaching out to tightly grasp Hamlyn's hand, offering him silent support.

"Why on earth is he calling now?" Hamond's voice cut through the silence, edged with frustration.

"Stay quiet, everyone," Hamlyn instructed, his calm demeanour prevailing. "I'm taking the call.” Hamlyn raised the phone to his ear.

"Hello, young Hasegawa," Kenshin greeted him with a familiar taunt. "How's life treating you?”

"What's the reason for calling?" Hamlyn responded bluntly.

"I just want to see you in person," Kenshin's voice softened.

A confident smile appeared on Hamlyn's face, "Meeting you is exactly what I want. Just tell me the location?" Hamlyn replied confidently.
