Chapter 123: A Noose Around The Neck

"A man named Griffin." Ava replied, her eyes steady on his. "He says it's important and that you'll want to hear what he has to say."

Griffin?! Ezra's eyes widened in surprise. What was he doing here? 

Ezra deployed his Aura, feeling out the traces of authority Aura Griffin had used on his secretary. He felt a surge of anger. That greedy bastard.

"Did he mention what it's about?" Ezra asked, his anger deflating as he considered the situation he was in. He could already feel the weight of another potential problem.

"No, sir. He just insisted it was urgent and that you'd understand." Ava answered.

""Very well." Ezra nodded at Ava. "Send him in," he instructed.

Ava gave a curt nod and exited the office. Ezra took a moment to straighten the clutter on his desk, his mind racing.
