Chapter 538: Part 1: Carlos's summon

From MC's perspective:

I'm trying hard to control the turmoil in my heart. Carlos Kent's smile is unkind. He is looking at me like prey.

There is one way to get through this other than that to listen to him.

"Faction Head?" I said with a half smile on my face.

"Zack Lockwood, take your seat," Carlos said casually.

But I'm getting no good vibes at all. Nodding my head, I sat opposite him. 

"Zack, you and your team have failed to complete the mission. What is your response?" Carlos asked.

Hearing that I cursed in my heart. This guy is still thinking about the mission. 

"Faction Head, we were surrounded by rogue warriors. If not for the timely help of local forces we would have been dead."

"I hope you remember that," I answered.

"Presumptuous," Carlos scolded and immediately released a faint pressure. 

"F@ck, I slipped..," Before I could finish my words. I was crushed under heavy physical coercion.
