Minor incident

"There was a minor incident, but let's resume the meeting," Damian said calmly.

The alliance members, however, could only lower their heads in silence. The bloodstain on the floor, left by the man who had been their comrade just moments ago, was still fresh. Despite the chilling scene, no one dared to speak.

Adrian couldn't help but chuckle bitterly at the sight.

'Has there ever been a meeting this quiet before?' he thought to himself.

Normally, the alliance members were like bickering roosters, constantly taunting each other, playing mind games, and spouting nonsense. But today, they sat in total silence, subdued like lambs. Of course, it wasn't surprising—if they didn't behave, someone else's head might get smashed in, just like their former comrade.
