Chapter 117: The Long Awaited Payback

Damon left the Wendigo behind after a long, tense stare-down. He wasn't in a rush to settle things now—patience had always been his greatest weapon. If he couldn't act without consequences, he would wait until he could.

This mindset had served him well countless times, like when he spoke his mind to professors who looked down on him. He knew they wouldn't dare commit acts of violence against a student.

'I can't respect people who show me none,' he thought as he trudged through the dense woods, his back still aching from the Wendigo's claws.

By the time Damon reached the academy, dawn was creeping over the horizon. But instead of heading to his dorm, he changed direction, walking toward a secluded spot on campus. He had arranged for Marcus to bring Rein Ambridge, then leave him drugged and ready, for Damon to kill.
