Zach went up to Renee, and with a formal tone, he said with a smile on his face, "I acknowledge your efforts, Ms. Shaw."
Since both parties had not burnt all bridges yet, appropriate PR interactions were still required.
"Hah! You won't be happy for too long."
Renee refused to play the game. She glared at Zach and left with her men.
After Renee and her troops were gone, Nigel had ordered his subordinates to watch their every move, just in case Serpent Alliance members became desperate and turned to extremes.
Malcolm had brought his men along and left the judge's seat. When he passed Yolanda, he glared daggers at her as he spat, "You're Yolanda Henderson?"
Yolanda didn't look Malcolm in the eye. She replied faintly, "Yes."
"So many talents and experts residing in Riverdale now, huh?" Malcolm deliberately emphasized "talents and experts," almost like he was too eager to mince Yolanda up if he could.
He was old and held a high position in the Havaria Martial Arts Association. It was really petty of him to be so calculative to someone that much younger than he was.
Yolanda naturally didn't respect him as her elder.
She would also never take to heart such "threatening" words. Instead, she gladly accepted it as a compliment.
"You're too kind. Serpent Alliance has more talented people around. If I recall correctly, Windchaser was the top 30th in the Havaria's Top Assassins' List."
Nothing was more humiliating for Serpent Alliance than having so many skillful experts around and still losing.
