Collins shook his head in wonderment. How in the hell did Ian know all this information about the other group? He knew right where they were holding the hostages and it wasn't just one location but three of them. Tobias was working on freeing the hostages while he got to stand beside Ian and jerk the chain of the insane idiot in front of them. Collins wiped the sweat from his brow and watched Harvard.

They had come in here expecting hardcore killers and found a bunch of madness-inflicted men who didn't even hold their weapons right. Harvard pointed his gun everywhere but it didn't seem like the man knew the safety was on and Collins wasn't about to educate him on the functions of the safety on his gun. Ian had simply walked up to the building Harvard was in and requested to see him."Well, it's about time you decided to obey your king and show up. Ian Brookstone has been a naughty little boy and must be punished." Harvard smiled and pointed at the floor. "Now be a good boy and bow down before your king." Ian stood tall and as still as stone. "I have no king, Harvard. But if anyone wants to bow to me, the Alpha of the Wolf River Clan, please do so."

Harvard ground his teeth. "You just don't get it do you, big man? I lured you here so I could take over Pepepski. Did you really think I would let you rule my kingdom? I have you now and Pepepski will surrender to me or I'll kill you."Harvard threw his head back and laughed loudly. The men around him joined him in laughter. Ian tilted his head and eyeballed Harvard. "So you have no intention of sticking to our deal then." Harvard laughed even harder. "Look who finally woke up. No stupid I never intended to keep to that ridiculous deal."

"You! Soldier boy! Here are my demands for the release of Ian. I declare myself king. Larsen is my capital. I demand all military operations cease and the only person you will take your orders from is me. I declare all females are now slaves to be used as I see fit. Children are not allowed in Larsen. I will be merciful and allow 1 town for the children to live in. I will allow them 1 meal a day. I declare any woman found pregnant will be required to have an abortion. Those that won't will be kicked out of the kingdom. Anyone sick is to be abandoned outside of town to die for the sake of public safety. I declare taxes will be paid to me from each town in the form of food and medical supplies. People with the skills I need are to be brought before me for my use. My last demand is I will have my own radio channel so as to proclaim my royal decrees to my loving subjects."

Ian smiled a small smile as Tobias's men crept into the room behind Harvard during his list of demands. "Well since you're not keeping to your side of the deal, I don't feel guilty over not keeping my side either." Harvard sighed. "I didn't say you could speak Ian. You know what let's just get right to the part where they take you away in handcuffs. Melvon! Get him out of my sight! Melvon?" Harvard went to turn his head but got smacked in the back of the head by a gun. "Now, now, Harvard. I think you owe Ian an apology." Harvard stumbled forward and frantically looked around the room for his men. They were all there but they had their hands in the air and soldiers were pointing guns at them while they got down on their knees.

"How did you? I didn't hear or see you.." Ian smiled. "You couldn't hear or see because you were distracted by your own bullshit Harvard. Private Holner, I need to see each man's marks. Harvard's arm was gripped roughly and his sleeve was ripped back. Ian felt the nine u-shaped marks on Harvard's arm. "How dare you touch your king without permission!" "Shut up Harvard! The Sickness wasn't able to finish converting you that's why your marks are messed up. " Ian nodded to Holner and the man effortlessly snapped Harvard's neck and lowered the body to the ground.
