Angelo gave a short laugh, though his eyes stayed cold.

"Call it whatever you want. Threat, warning… doesn't matter. Just remember, we've survived worse than this. If you think you can keep everything locked away, sooner or later someone will come knocking harder than we did today. It's not too late to trade with us…"
Kai didn't flinch. "Then let them try." He had no reason to waste more words.
Although Kai had no idea what kind of Talents or Gene Skills these bikers possessed, it didn't matter. Angelo's group was also unaware of Freedom Shelter's true capabilities. That balance of uncertainty kept both sides cautious.
