The atmosphere in the room changed immediately with anger radiating from multiple sources.
Marcus's voice came out harsh.
"We won't call that ungrateful bastard Major Ryan Sukov. As soon as we got out of the portal, before any of us had even recovered, he sold Damian out to the military.
Told them everything about the Devourer Body Art, about the consumption of Giant flesh and about every method Damian used to save our lives."
Isaac nodded agreement, his usually calm face showing rare fury.
"Damian saved all of us multiple times. Became a monster to protect us. And Sukov's first action was betraying him to his superiors. We don't associate with ungrateful wretches!"
"I see."
Brian's voice was carefully neutral.
But his eyes showed something else. Something cold and calculating and absolutely merciless.
"Then we move forward with nine members. Quality over quantity. All of you think about what I've proposed. We'll meet again in three days for your decisions."
