Fu Tailan had been watching Carter Morgan carefully — studying him as he slept trapped inside the dream.
For Carter Morgan, nothing in the world mattered more than his own life.
Fu Tailan had been the one to request this meeting, which meant Carter would never drop his guard. He'd brought several Hunters and bodyguards — clearly elite, well-trained, fully armed. And in places Fu Tailan couldn't see, there were almost certainly surveillance setups and defensive Illusions as well.
Really, all this fuss wasn't necessary, Fu Tailan thought.
They'd met once before, hadn't they? And that time, he hadn't done a single thing to Carter Morgan.
He'd only asked to see Fu Han — just to confirm Fu Han was still alive. Once he had, he'd left like a good boy.
And yet Carter was just as cautious this time around.
