“Tell you what. You suck me off, on behalf of the No Peak clan, and we have a deal.”
Oh i don't like this at all
Anden pushed the man’s cock back into his pants and fastened the zipper with a yank.
Thank god
Despite all their strength, the Kauls were unlucky—with not one, but two stone-eyes, as well as an adopted cousin who was mixed race and queer.
Oh okay Juen u prick
Juen sighed inwardly. The Pillar had already made his unlucky wife his Pillarman, and now he was bringing his unlucky cousin, who held no official rank in the clan, into the inner circle of the leadership,
Oh my god what a whiney bitch
For some reason, the woman had been admitted into Molovni’s inner circle, when Bero had not. She must be letting them fuck her. It was the only explanation.
Bero u fucking worm
Bero couldn’t figure out why they didn’t trust him.
Gee i wonder
“Again? That’s the third meeting she’s missed this month.
Is she pregnant???
Wen fought hard against a smile. “Maybe you should ask her why she’s feeling so unwell lately when no one else in the family’s been sick.”
Wen and me are on the same wave length
Hilo’s eyes narrowed with dawning realization. “No fucking way.” When Wen smiled and shrugged as if she knew nothing, he burst into laughter.
Such a big brother response
And you have a daughter who’s normal and is there now as well, don’t you?”
'normal'??? How rude
My husband and brothers were in their teens when they first started winning green for themselves, so I admit my benchmark is different.”
EAT HER UP WENNNNNNN
“Get off my property,” Hilo said. “Before I kill you.”
Damn
So he knew that what he and his brother were doing now—sneaking unaccompanied into an enemy district to watch Ayt Atosho duel a challenger—was not technically forbidden by clan law but was also not something his parents would ever allow them to do.
UH HELLO
Ru considered it necessary that his brother be part of the excursion so they would be in trouble together if their parents found out.
He is Hilo's son without a doubt
By the end of the week, Sian Kugo would be a Lantern Man of No Peak, Cinema Shore would belong to the clan, and Danny Sinjo would star in its films.
Okay Wennnnnn
After a moment of silence, Ema said, “I don’t feel like going out. Not tonight. I have a bottle of hoji here at my place. Do you want to come over?”
She is setting him up 100%
He sneered. All her belongings must be gifts from rich men.
Awe is he insecure
Inside was a single piece of paper, with no salutation or signature, only one line of typed text. Your life is in danger. Leave immediately.
WHAT
from behind Ayt, the secretary who had begun to refill the Pillar’s water glass dropped the jug, spilling water all over the table and Koben Yiro’s papers, and in the same motion thrust a knife concealed under her sleeve into the side of Ayt Madashi’s neck.
OH HELLO
Hilo stared at her, then slowly raised his eyes to the others in the room, sweeping a coolly assessing gaze over the meeting’s attendees. Without a word, he took two deliberate steps to block the exit.
He said this bitch will be dying here today
“It’s already too late, Koben-jen,” he said in a dangerous whisper. “Out with the old, in with the new.”
!!!
He took several steps backward and then the van below the window detonated in an explosion that demolished the ground floor of the building and engulfed the side of the structure in an expanding fireball that traveled faster than the screams of the people it swallowed.
…no…
Hilo had time only to register disbelief, to think of his wife and children, before the force of the blast reached him and the third-floor boardroom collapsed, bringing hundreds of kilograms of concrete rubble down on him.
NO FUCKING WAY
she wasn’t ready to think that her brother and her husband were both dead, and that she was now the Pillar of the clan and a widowed single mother.
IS IT ILLEGAL FOR SHAE TO BE HAPPY?! DOES FONDA LEE HATE HER???
Ayt rasped, “Your brother is dead. I wasn’t even in the building, and the explosion threw me across the street.”
Shut up i dont wanna hear that
I made the error of underestimating another woman.” The Pillar wetted her lips and fixed her eyes on Shae. “I’ve only done that one other time.”
!!
“It would be a mercy to cut your throat, Ayt-jen,” she hissed, “and spare you from being the Pillar at this awful time when you’re most needed.”
Geez :( i would've just killed her and her nephew
Shae looked up at him, eyes damp with relief. “They’ve been found,” she breathed. “They’re alive.”
NO WAY?!
“If the Espenians sent that note, then they knew the bombing would happen. They could’ve saved everyone in the building, but they didn’t.”
!!!!
“My name is Kaul Seningtun,” answered the scout, “and the name of my clan doesn’t matter anymore. All Green Bones in these mountains are brothers.”
Where did they go wrong
“I’m not at liberty to discuss my work, Mr. Kaul,” the woman replied. “Not even with my family and friends, much less to a Kekonese clan boss.”
Why is she such a bitch omg
“I was whipped, what do you think?” he muttered into the pillow.
WHIPPED?!
He liked to think about things by himself, sometimes for a long while, before making decisions.
He is literally just like Lan
Several Clanless Future Movement members had revealed under interrogation that a foreigner named Molovni was a key figure in the CFM, but this Molovni, if he existed, was a ghost.
Fucking Espenians
“Not all big kids are the same. But if you’re worried about it, you can stay a little kid for as long as you like. I won’t mind.”
This is so cute
“It’s a shame,” she said, her voice as flat as a sheet of ice, “that we didn’t receive this information before hundreds of people lost their lives.”
Tell em Shae
“GSI a subsidiary of Anorco Global Resources. I’m offering to buy you out, Jim.
DONT DO IT
“I mean it. I’m not going to be a Fist, and I’m not going to college either. I got a job offer outside of the clan and I’m taking it.”
OH?!
Niko dropped the crumpled napkin on his empty plate and pushed away from the table. “I’m joining Ganlu Solutions International.”
NO FUCKING WAY NIKO WHAT THE FUCK
If you do all that, then we’ll talk about finding you some new opportunity, inside or outside of the clan, because obviously you aren’t going to be Pillar.”
Damn that's cold yet so warranted
Kaul Hiloshudon, flanked by four of his Green Bone warriors, strode through the breached fence and advanced toward the building with the heedless implacability of a demon.
Hilo's aura is unmatched tbh
In all the years that Sunto had known the clan leader, he’d never been sure if the stories he’d heard about Kaul Hilo were true. Now he thought they probably were.
Oh baby they're true
“You didn’t listen.”
Is he gonna kill him?
“I promise you that sooner or later, I’ll answer that offense.”
Damn
“He’s not fit to be Pillar,” Hilo said. “People said that about you once,” Anden reminded his cousin.
OOP
Anden drew in a hard breath and let it out again. He straightened. “If you disown Niko, then I’m gone too. I’ll leave, Hilo.”
Holy shit Anden i respect the balls you've grown
“Remi-jen,” said Maik Tar warily.
Oh my god he's going to kill him as one last favor for the clan
“I’ve heard you give jade to those who do a good job for you,” he said slowly. “That’s something the Kauls will never give back to me.”
Okay maybe i was wrong and now he is an enemy of the clan
“If you do it again, I’ll come to your house and kill your pets,” Jaya had promised, as if she were the older sibling and had to protect Ru from bullies on the playground.
Now she is Hilo's no doubt about it
Hilo spoke into the phone through clenched teeth. “I’ll be there in a few minutes.” He hung up and grabbed his jacket and car keys. “Jaya’s been arrested.”
Oh jeez
