Bab 137: Syndicate [4]

Shortly after clearing up the misunderstandings, Brandon quickly called for Zed to come back up.

With Rachel sitting beside him, Zed sat on the opposite side.

Looking at Zed, Brandon reassured him.

"It's fine, Zed. I'll be keeping an eye on her. So you can tell her everything."

Pouting, Rachel turned her head and frowned at Brandon.

But Brandon's lips pulled up to a serene smile.

Alternating his gaze between the two, Zed skeptically raised his brow.

"The hell happened between you two?"

He shook his head.

"Nevermind. None of my business."

At that, Zed properly introduced himself.

"Greetings, Rachel Asami. My name is Zed Alistar…"

He paused and secretly met Brandon's gaze.

Brandon could more less tell what that brief look was. Since Rachel didn't have the full context, Zed introduced himself as Brandon's friend.
