Chapter 984:

He let out a long sigh and glanced at Neil with a weary smile.

“Neil, why don’t you head back and get srest? | have to prepare for the Nash...”

family’s banquet later this afternoon.”

Neil sensed that his remarks about Chloe had clearly unsettled Aelfric, so he concealed a sly smile, politely

excused himself, and started to leave.

But just as he was about to turn the corner, something cto mind. He pivoted back and said, “Aelfric, there's

one more thing | wanted to ask you.”

Aelfric’s brows furrowed as he replied tersely, “What is it?”

Neil continued, “Last time, you mentioned reaching out to Amiri’s brother, Lambert, hoping he’d join us to take

on Connor. Any luck on that front?”

Hearing that, Aelfric’s irritation flared. He let out a bitter laugh and said, “Lambert? He's more spineless than

Amiri ever was! The man’s all about keeping his head down, clinging to his little empire, and basking in his

wealth. He'd rather stay comfortable than rock the boat, let alone go after someone like Connor. Even if he

suspects Connor killed Amiri, he'd never avenge his brother—he’s terrified he'll end up just like him. | regret

Neil felt a wave of dismay. He had pinned his hopes on Aelfric’s talks with Lambert, hoping they might unite

against Connor. But now, it seemed that plan was dead in the water. Relying on Aelfric was no longer an option.

Initially, it had been an alliance between Neil, the Warren family, and the Brocks, all determined to go after

Connor. But after Everett's return, the Brock family had withdrawn from the arrangement, and Aelfric had been

ousted from Doomsday Base, leaving their coalition in ruins.

Although Neil's frustration simmered, he forced a smile and said, “It's okay if Lambert doesn’t join us. We'll come

up with a more solid gplan. Don’t let it weigh on you, Aelfric.”

Aelfric nodded, his thoughts still spiraling around Chloe. Distracted, he barely noticed Neil's emotions and kept

his gaze fixed on the floor even as Neil exited the room.
