Chapter 988:
In a private room on the third floor, the bartender placed all of Phillip’s ordered wine on the table, respectfully
bowed, and left.
Sean lifted his gaze. “Care for a drink?”

Sean had chosen only top-shelf spirits, their spicy flavors tingling from mouth to stomach.
Bryson wasn’t sure why Sean had invited him and Kason out for drinks. Being the lowest in the pecking order

words.
Bryson was even less acquainted with the influential Kason and felt quite intimidated sitting among these two
men.
