Without a doubt.
Seifer was definitely talking about Owen Shaw back then, and Decker Shaw afterward.
Decker, huh.
Lake raised his gaze, seemingly remembering something. If they really wanted to get technical, Lake and Decker had been comrades-in-arms too—though not in the conventional sense. They had once participated in the same operation, with the Federation SEALs working alongside London's Secret Service.
But...
When Lake left Rachel's side with Seifer, he asked curiously, "Do you really think your criminal career can compare with being some kind of queen?"
Seifer looked at Lake. "If not, then what? You think I was joking?"
Lake shrugged. "Honestly, I thought you were giving it to Hill."
After all, from the very beginning, Lake had intended to give the position of Queen of Midgard to Seifer. It was only because Seifer had said she did not want it that Lake chose Hill instead.
Seifer laughed. "I'll never give up anything I truly want. I just think Midgard would be too much of a burden. Hill's management skills really are better than mine. I'm fine being the queen of an island, but I can't handle being the queen of a planet."
Lake shook his head. "Suit yourself. Just remember, don't take things too far. Know when to stop. Look at how angry you made Rachel."
Just now, when Rachel had learned that Seifer had extended her reach to Dominic Toretto several years ago, she had been furious. If Lake had not just received a call from Mother Queen Karen, the trouble at home might truly have escalated.
Seifer smiled. "Don't worry. I'll only play this one last time. After that, I'll find somewhere with beautiful mountains and clear waters and settle down to raise the baby."
Did Skull Island... count as a place with beautiful mountains and
