Verruckt accepted the call, his expression hardened as he uttered a curt greeting. The night breeze obscured the details of the conversation, and soon enough, he hung up, his piercing gaze fixed coldly upon me.
Elysianne, not one to mince words, barked at Verruckt’s entourage, “Get out of my way!”
They looked to Verruckt for guidance, yet none stirred. After narrowing his eyes, Verruckt slowly approved with a nod, and finally, a path cleared before us. The operator of the excavator also shifted his machine aside.
Elysianne gestured for me to join her in her vehicle, while Dark and Wulfgar entered my Santana. Just before we departed, I noticed Wulfgar stealing glances in Huang Run's direction. It was apparent he was drawn to her, a fact I had already anticipated. However, having been deceived once, his lingering gaze, so reminiscent of the past, suggested he was still not entirely over her.
