Chapter 193: Time Alone
Jason wasn’t going to allow the bullshit bureaucracy that the government practiced to stop him from doing what he had to.
"I’ll give you till noon tomorrow. If by then you don’t have both the captain and vice captain in custody, then I’m going to come for them myself."
"Jason, I came here to talk to you personally so you don’t do anything that would make you an enemy of the state—"
"You don’t know what those bastards cost me! They were after my life, so don’t tell me shit about making enemies. You either bring them in or I’ll come for them myself, and I will not be taking prisoners."
Jason cut Liam off brutally! His voice was low, but the intensity in his eyes put true fear into Liam’s soul! Liam knew that Jason’s anger was not directed at him, but Liam could still feel the intensity like it was a physical thing weighing him down! Liam knew at that moment that Jason was not playing around. If they didn’t bring the BloodRaven executives in by tomorrow, then they would have to deal with Jason himself.
’This is going to be a delicate thing to balance. Jason is an S Rank, but the BloodRaven guild is an S Rank guild. Which of them can we risk pissing off more than the other? Fuck, I hate dealing with superhumans.’
Liam was the one in charge of handling superhuman relations in Riverdale, so his priority was making sure that Jason didn’t act independently. But now that they were dealing with superhumans from both Riverdale and Greenville, things were so much more complicated. Liam took in a calming breath and looked Jason in the eye before speaking.
"I’ll do the best I can, but for now, please stay your hand and trust the SMD to handle things. We won’t let you down."
Jason looked into Liam’s eyes to make sure he was serious, and Liam stared back unflinchingly. Eventually, Jason nodded in agreement and Liam released a breath he didn’t know he had been holding. He then spoke.
