Everyone present heard the crisp sound of his knees hitting the ground.
The people from Sanctyr Base all fell silent.
Those present were all somewhat familiar with River Larkin and knew how arrogant he was.
Especially since he was Selene Larkin's boyfriend, he held a special status at the base. None of the regular members dared to provoke him.
On the surface, he seemed gentle and easygoing, but those who truly knew him were aware that he was actually extremely petty and vindictive.
They never expected he would actually kneel to that mysterious masked woman.
Beyond their surprise, they also felt a sense of satisfaction.
'So all that daily arrogance was just for show. In the face of true life and death, it's utterly worthless.'
Just a moment ago, he'd looked so defiant, even daring to disobey the Boss's command.
And now, wasn't he kneeling obediently?
Aidan Larkin watched River Larkin kneeling beside her, his head lowered, and her heart ached for him.
