Chapter 1087
Sean was silent for a while, but he soon started calling his people.
There was no denying that Cordy's idea was the best one they had right now-and the longer they
delayed, the less ideal the final outcome would be.
In fact, Cordy was right—things looked bad for John no matter what happened, and the only thing they
could do now was not waste his sacrifice.
Everything was ready in ten minutes, though Sean turned to look at Cordy and asked, "Are we really
