Chapter 35: Twisted Fate

Clyde and Duke joined me in the elevator. Clyde stood in our center. He had a blank expression on his face since that was one of the very few expressions he had in his system while my uncle was back to being grumpy. He had been like that ever since the last phone call we had which was three days ago.

Clyde yawned and glanced at me. “You heard him. He said you’re being an idiot.”
