Chapter 0043 - The Specialist "The rest of us will head to the Vanderbilt Club now," Nathan continued, "We'll get everything set up. The equipment, the viewing area for everyone to watch comfortably." He looked at Declan. "You have one hour. If you're not at the Vanderbilt Club in one hour, I'll consider it a forfeit.
