Chapter 1479


    No sooner had Maja left than Quentin flicked a piece of candy onto Patric''sp.


    "Dope, this one''s for you."


    Patric, of course, couldn''t tell if it was a gesture of kindness or malice. The poor guy was genuinely a


    dumb now.


    He picked up the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.


    Quentin perched himself on a rock and asked him.


    "Is it sweet?"

    "Sweet."


    "Really?"


    He''d never tasted such a thing before. For someone of his stature, the familiar tang of blood was far


    moremon than the luxury of sweetness.


    His stepfather once said that the cloying taste could numb the senses, sapping a person''s will to fight.


    As a kid, he''d stolen a piece of candy after an exhausting training session, lured in by its scent.


    He thought it would be a fitting reward for his grueling efforts, but before he could swallow it, he was


    whipped twice.


    "Quentin, you''re such a letdown. Touch that stuff again, and I''ll chop off one of your fingers."


    That scared him stiff. He couldn''t quite remember how old he was when that happened.


    So in his memory, candy wasn''t sweet. It tasted of twoshings.


    It was bloody, painful, and bitter.


    Now, watching Patric, who understood nothing of the world, Quentin felt a twinge of envy.


    The man appeared to be in histe twenties yet could smile with such innocence.


    He was satisfied with just a piece of candy.


    What a waste of an extra decade of life.


    Quentin lowered hisshes and pulled out his phone to contact his crew.


    "Grab her, find out where the Jellyfish Seal is. Time to bring down the curtain on this act. Also, block K''s


    people. Forbidden Ind isn''t their yground."


    "Mr. Ger, K sent a message. He wants to have a serious talk with you."


    Now that K knew Maja and Ian were on Forbidden Ind, it would be easy to take them out with the


    help of Quentin.


    But Quentin had always been at odds with him within the organization, and they didn''t get along.


    Moreover, Quentin rarely showed his face at the organization, and ever since he took over Forbidden


    Ind, assuming the mantle of Mr. Ger, he continued the previous Mr. Ger''s reign of terror.


    What he didn''t like simply shouldn''t exist.


    "I have nothing to discuss with him." Quentin''s lips curled.


    "K says he doesn''t care about BK and hopes you''ll think it over."


    Quentin scoffed. Not care about BK? With its considerable influence, how could he not?


    He thought K was full of trickery.


    Annoyance flickered across his face. "I don''t want to meet him, nor will I make any deals with him."


    "But K''s people have flooded into Forbidden Ind, and there''s more by the day. Recently, we''ve


    spotted more than a dozen lurking in the shadows. Who knows how many more there are?"


    Quentin ended the call and saw Patric ying with the dirt again.


    His mischievous side suddenly kicked in.


    "Dope, Maja''s about to die."


    He wasn''t lying. After tonight, Maja would be dead.


    Few could endure the kind of torture she''d face.


    And since K was looking for Maja, she must be important to him. New ch?pter av?ble o?

    Anything that would put K at a disadvantage was a pleasure for Quentin.


    As for Maja iming she was the daughter of the Holy Daughter...


    If she were alive, she wouldn''t have let her daughter get involved with BK.


    If she were dead, then the Jellyfish Seal had inadvertently ended up with Maja.
