Nikolai's stillness was palpable like he misheard Nox’s decree. There was activity going on in the periphery. People rushed away, but Nikolai paid them no attention. All of his thought was fixated upon this underworld threat.
“You can do the rest alone? The depths of the underworld is indetectable from the surface. How will we know if you succeed? Or more importantly, how will we know if you fail? You should take a second person as backup. Or, at worst, to handle it if you are compromised.”
He glanced at those who remained. Jay and Nox were close in the way of friends. Marcus and Nox were cool at best. Allan and Nox were far too adversarial. They were all valuable assets, but Jay was probably the best positioned to enter the heat of battle and come out alive.
“Carpenter, you’ll go with Nox.”
