Chapter 615 - Switching Side (1/2)

At the other side of the building, James Wells was busy bandaging his arm. By some lucky movement, Jason managed to wound him. On his side, Jeff was looking at him with annoyance.

”James, can you hurry up? They're waiting for us to announce the new member,” Jeff complained.

James looked up and snickered. ”Why do you care? It's not like the new member is someone extremely powerful. He's just an abandoned stray that comes to search for his owner.”

Jeff knew that it was true, but he preferred to not debate with this man in front of him. Even though James appeared nonchalant and easygoing, this man was once the young master of Wells Family. That position alone has granted this man numerous chances in the past.

”Have you finished?” Jeff asked again.

James nodded his head. ”Let's go.”

The two of them made their way towards the hall. There were already numerous people waiting for them and also the other two to appear.

”You're late, Jeff,” Iris commented. ”Are you wounded?”

”Not me, it's this annoying man,” Jeff pointed at James. He noticed the rim of Iris's eyes were red. ”Are you crying because of Anna again?”

Iris nodded her head. ”I just can't forget about her that easily.”

The two of them had been best friends for a long time. Since they were close in age, Ferdinand allowed them to stay together and so they did. Because of that, the two of them stayed extremely close with the other one.

Right now, Iris was partially blaming herself for Anna's death. She has the power to see the future, but she didn't use it to save her own friend. This made her felt rather vexed.

”By the way, has Ayres recovered?” Jeff recalled that he rarely saw that burly man again.

”Ah yeah, he's recovering well. Master Ferdinand wishes for him to participate in the next mission, so he's busy gathering his strength back,” Iris replied in a soothing tone.

”That's good. I need him as the meat shield when I'm directing people to attack each other,” Jeff nodded his head.

No one felt strange with what Jeff said. They might have stayed together for a long time, but their relationship was limited to how much they could use the other people. In the mission, it was important to have a partner that could use their skill to help each other. This was the very reason that they trained together.

As they were talking, the door opened. Vena and Jon walked inside with Jon in his messy appearance.

”You look like a fool today, Jon,” Jeff grinned.

Jon shrugged. ”Not my fault. Someone is keeping me awake all night.”

”That's because you're lousy,” Vena retorted.

”Be quiet,” a large man walked inside. His height and stature allowed people to know directly that he was a former soldier. ”Master Ferdinand is coming.”

”Yes, Sir.”

All of them instantly shut their mouths. This man was Ferdinand's right hand, so they didn't want to make trouble for themselves by offending this man.

Not long after that, Ferdinand walked inside with Randy following behind him like a lost puppy. Ferdinand glanced at his people who had gathered in the room. He pointed towards Randy.

”This is Randy, he'll be staying under Vena. The next mission will start very soon, I want you all to be prepared.”

”Yes, Sir.”
