Chapter 32: Drowned
<This is getting bad.>
Ace’s thought cut through Sean’s roar. The undead sneered and howled behind Alex’s shield. Ace and Chaewon hacked at Sean, but the man kept hammering the barrier.
<I don’t want to kill you, Alex! Drop that shield and I’ll stop hitting you! Same for the rest of you! Marko, Mercer, quit healing Don Capo and I’ll ignore you too! Just patch up Chaewon; my blood splashed on her!>
<Fuck off, bastard. I’ll never betray Don Capo. Nobody else comes close!>
<Alex! He’s only that good because he hoards knowledge! He never shared it with us! You’re just a tool!>
<If Don Capo told me the world was ending, I’d still back him, loser. Thanks to him I’m Rank Seven and loving it. I’d be nowhere without his training. He’s done more than enough. You’re the trash who missed it.>
<I never thought you were such a dog!>
<You’re the only one barking!>
<Drop the shield, Alex! Everyone drop your weapons!>
<Never.>
