Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
If you expect me to bow down and beg for mercy, sorry for disappointing you, but this is the 21st Century and not a monarch's kingdom.

Alpha  ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩
*gets up and walks away, banging the door hard as he leaves the room*
The officials looked at the head in doubt, unsure of Alpha's capability as his behaviour had made them doubt his professionalism
Head <Mr. Walker>
