Karl had come to such a sudden halt that the moment he stopped, he couldn't steady himself in time.
Losing his balance, he dropped straight to his knees.
The hard floor struck sharply beneath him, sending a sting through his legs.
But he didn't mind it at all.
Lifting his head, he looked up at his brother, ready to report everything in one breath—
—when suddenly, he felt eyes on him.
Instinctively, he turned.
Only to find Ford and Asher standing there.
He blinked, slightly taken aback.
"You two are here as well?"
Asher's brows tightened, but he gave a small nod. Ford, on the other hand, remained silent, standing straight with his hands clasped behind his back —calm and observant as always.
Karl would have asked more.
But then he remembered why he had rushed all the way here in the first place.
