‘Keeping my distance from Bowen shouldn’t cause any problems.’”

The rented apartment was a fully furnished luxury unit, move-in ready.

The issue with Carmen was basically resolved. When the tournament officials sensed something was off, they promptly issued a statement confirming that, after investigation, God’s Fury had not violated any rules during the Autumn. Championship.

A heavy silence fell over the table.

Daxton and Ronald had all gathered for the family dinner.
