Nero did not stick around after making such a grand exit, though that was to be expected since even Silas' father had dismissed him. At the very least he got a good meal out of it.

As soon as he exited the mansion, on foot since there was no way he was going to request to be dropped off, he made another call to his father, who once again did not pick up. Putting the phone back in his pocket, Nero started a light jog as he made his way out, for if he walked it would take too long.

It was surprising how many firsts he was encountering since he became a Neophyte, but this was absolutely one he never even imagined.
