章 116: I cannot yield here [1/2]

"Mercenary John Smith! Repeat what you just said!" Zach demanded with an authoritative voice. 

"I said I am not backing down."

"What the hell? That's not what you said before!"

"Does it even matter? You came here to get me to drop my complaints against the Saviors, right?"

The specter known as Nightmare nodded wordlessly. I wasn't sure why, maybe Zach liked me, but from a Commander's point of view there was no reason to try to convince a lowly Wraith. 

As a Specter, he could simply not have submitted my reports, like most human bureaucrats who interfere with investigations. 

Zach was a mercenary, which meant he knew what we were fighting for. No one who would lead such an organization could allow scum like Savior to corrupt it from within. 

Not if he could help it. Why did he even try to convince me? Why try to explain everything?
