After the heated meeting in Xavier's study, Horace dismissed Kai and Kraven, sending them on their urgent mission to the southern part of the country. The two men bowed and left the room silently, their heads hung low with guilt. Horace turned to his, Xavier, who stayed behind to debrief him.
"Let's go over the meeting earlier today," Horace began, pacing slowly. "I want every detail—every single action, every threat, everything you observed."
Xavier nodded and outlined the events meticulously, from the school incident to the sudden appearance of Derek. "We need tighter security," Horace interrupted. "This cannot happen again. The school in San Francisco… perhaps we need to move her to a more secure, prestigious university. Somewhere… untouchable."
"I agree," Xavier replied. "The area itself needs better surveillance. The staff must be vetted. Even small details matter."
