Kellan let out a laugh. “You just said all that out loud. If I kept hiding in the back, who knows what kind of stories you’d start spreading about me, right?”
His cold gaze swept over the crowd, and in an instant, everyone fell silent.
Even though Kellan had just returned to the country, everyone here knew exactly what this Grim Reaper had done overseas.
