Chapter 796: Message

"I thought the Ildoo descendant visited already," Bruce commented, puffing from his cigarette.

"I've been busy," Khan responded, half-lying on the ground while holding a drink. "I had no time for pleasure."

"I bet you wouldn't have invited us, either," Luke exclaimed.

"Not so soon," Khan revealed. "Not for pleasure."

Luke didn't argue with Khan. He also understood where he came from. The quadrant was still unstable, and Khan couldn't afford significant variables. Raymond was one of them, and inviting the Cobsend family would only grant him a direct line to the planet.

Of course, the other families were probably engaging in similar spying activities, but Raymond was too dangerous. He was resourceful enough to plant assets in the quadrant without his family's support, but Khan limited his options, at least.

"Though," Bruce said. "It does seem you are taking your breaks. It is a pleasant sight after everything you have been through."
