Chapter 135: The Bigger Picture
(ARLO)
I’m shocked that Dalton knows of Sasha’s arm tactics. I don’t respond to it though.
"Don’t act so surprised, Arlo. I know you. There’s no way you could have agreed to that marriage if they didn’t threaten you."
My face warms. "I don’t know what you are talking about." I am certain that he has No idea that I have Miles’ bite mark. I doubt he’d be pleased if he learned about it.
Sweat glistens on his forehead as he bites his jaw. I can feel his desperation. "Arlo, listen to me. Other syndicates aren’t pleased with the news of the Sovereign Ring Syndicate being absorbed into the Triple Triad Syndicate. We know why Sasha is doing it. He wants to be untouchable. The other syndicates are willing to join hands and help me take down the triple Triads once and for all."
"Good luck then. I hope you manage to bring the Triple Triads down. I don’t see how you are going to succeed anyway."
"They might be strong, I get that. But they can’t outdo a coordinated effort to bring them down." He laughs gruffly.
"You already have the support of other syndicates. So, what do you need me for?"
He smiles wryly. "See, your impending marriage to Miles could be our opportunity. You could help us once you’re on the inside, they will never see us coming. That way, we could rip them to shreds."
