Chapter 27: Don't You Trust Me?

In this world, not a lot of things pissed Cruden off. Sure, he got annoyed, but that was dealt with easily. Murder. Torture. Punishments. Anything that irked him, he removed from this world. It was all due time.

The atmosphere was charged with a tension so thick, that it choked everyone present. His people shifted uncomfortably, their apprehension growing with each passing second.

"I believe there's been some misunderstanding." Cruden's voice was as steady as his composure. Straight lines. Crisp attire. His underlying rage was a warning that electrified the air.
