Quinton sat back with one leg crossed over the other, his polished branded loafers casually propped up on the large round table. He looked completely at ease, though it was clear he was putting on a show.
People continued arriving for his so-called roundtable meeting, including sof the most influential figures in Jayrodale. Among them were Natasha, Dylan, and Harvey the head of the Weller family-as well as representatives from Madblade Martial Academy and the Goth family.
