No way, not a chance. I’m officially in “retirement”. Not that I’m anywhere near old enough. I’m just done facing off against the dregs of humanity and looking filth right in the eye. And now it’s time to trust the one man who makes it all worthwhile—the one who makes me lose control. He’s chaos and mayhem, and I cannot get enough.

They don’t call me “Ares” for nothing. I fight like hell for what I believe in, and I believe in fighting for what’s right.
