Charles looked at the few agents before fixing his eyes on Daniel. "President Edwards, I believe what I decide in the end is none of your concern."
Daniel smiled cynically in response. "Well, we're friends, aren't we? We just can't bear seeing you being disadvantaged on this matter, which was why we came to inform you. What you just did truly hurt me. How could you treat our goodwill as malice?"
Since Charles could not read between the lines, he took Daniel's words at face value, gestured toward them politely, and replied calmly, "I appreciate your kindness if that's the case. However, as I am ready to bear any consequences of my own decision, I will admit defeat if it comes to that. It will have nothing to do with you all."
As soon as he said his piece, he was reluctant to spend another minute on the matter because he merely turned around and was about to leave.
Daniel's expression changed immediately as he was not expecting that kind of response from Charles. Instead, he quickly signaled to an agent standing next to him with his eyes. The agent understood the hint and instantly stood between Charles and his path and spread his arms open. "Stop right here!"
