Leo was at a loss for words after being scolded. He used to harbor resentment from being told to do the cleaning task, and he was itching to pick a fight with Matthew.
Later, Matthew saved Leo, along with Dominic and Lucien. That was when Matthew won Leo over, and Leo started following Matthew's order without question.
Right then, Brad was chewing Leo out, and he felt pretty wronged. "You told me to work with him, but he won't let us do anything except cleaning up."
Brad coldly grunted. "Whatever. I'm done with this. Tell him to stop making things harder for me." With that, Brad ended the call.
Just as Brad put away his phone, his phone started ringing again. He answered the call and put the phone to his ear. Then, he suddenly shot up to his feet with his expression tensed up.
After hanging up, Brad started pacing around. The look on his face was more solemn than before.
Hugh looked puzzled. "What's going on?"
Brad stopped in his tracks. "Horace called back everyone he sent to search for Isaac. They were gathering in the southern suburbs, and it seemed like something big was going down."
Hugh shook his head. "Is it really that big of a deal? Do you need to get so worked up? I thought we were dealing with an invasion."
Brad looked solemn. "Horace is on a flight to Lambda City."
What the hell? Hugh's expression instantly changed drastically. "He needs to report it if he's leaving the war zone. What's he up to? What on earth happened?"
Brad suddenly thought of something. "Has the word about Isaac's death gotten out? This is bad. He's in danger. Horace will stop at nothing to kill him this time."
After saying that, Brad dialed Leo's number again.
Leo had barely recovered from the earlier scolding. When he pulled out his phone and saw Brad calling, he immediately stood upright, like a student who'd been caught misbehaving.
"Mr. Miles—" However, Leo barely managed to say anything before being cut off.
Brad sounded anxious and uneasy. "Q-quick. Get Matthew on the phone. Hurry."
Leo was dumbfounded by the question. "He's not here. I think he went to the psychiatric hospital. Trevor went with him. They're probably waiting outside for the cleanup task."
