Chapter 177: Facing The Family (2)
DRA class 2 special agent.
It was a fancy title, but that was all there was to it. In reality, it was but a glorified term for a punchbag with responsibilities—the responsibility of correcting the superiors’ mistakes and taking the fall when necessary.
The ’Ants’, as they were usually referred to, were the ones who kept the system in check, even when it meant shouldering the blame, just like James was doing now, while Adrian was busy making call after call.
’I heard he was supposed to be a kind and caring man,’ James thought. ’But this guy seems nothing like those media people portrayed him to be.’

James couldn’t do much but let out a frustrated sigh. The Association wanted Adrian to work for them, but their acts would just push him away.
It wouldn’t have been much of a concern if they could have made at least someone from the group join them. However, the girls seemed dedicated to Adrian and would follow in his footsteps.
