Chapter 1018:

A bounty organization was a blight on society, especially when the price was a person's life. The police were

determined to stamp out this menace.

Sean and Kason claimed a bench in the station's rest area, leaving one seat between them, a physical

representation of the gulf between their worlds. Sean’s gaze fell to the floor. “Any leads on who wants Norah
