Chapter 642 - 648: The Horn of the Counterattack
Yang Yi followed Jethro to meet with Corkdor.
Among the people Yang Yi had met before, those sent by Deyo were either arrogant or egotistic, each looking as if their eyes wished to perch high in the heavens, but this Corkdor seemed uncharacteristically humble.
Yang Yi and Anton stood behind Jethro while two men similarly flanked Ferdinand. Having greeted Jethro and Ferdinand, Corkdor, accompanied by two bodyguards, faced his men with a tranquil expression and said, "This place is safe, you two wait outside for me."
Corkdor’s bodyguards left, but Jethro merely gestured, indicating Yang Yi and the other to step back slightly, yet he did not ask them to leave the room.
Ferdinand made the same choice.
Without understanding Corkdor’s intention, they certainly did not dare to let their bodyguards be too far away.
Once Corkdor took his seat, he seemed oblivious to the guard Jethro and Ferdinand were showing. He smiled faintly, but his expression then turned serious, "The boss has sent me here to take full control of everything. He also said that if I feel any of you are not fully committed to his tasks, I should take away your authority."
Getting straight to the point, Corkdor made his intentions clear.
Ferdinand’s face shifted slightly, but Jethro watched Corkdor impassively.
