Unpopular Opinion: Asher and Kyle are the least powerful men in the RinaVerse, total scaredy cats, and honestly not even that rich. I said what I said.
Compared to literal mafia bosses, psycho kings, and ruthless alphas in the rest of the RinaVerse, these two completely fold. They act all dark, brooding, and dangerous on the outside but Asher and Kyle are easily the weakest links.
Asher Carson: He spent half of the Lies & Truths Duet acting like a massive bully because he was utterly terrified of his own feelings and confused by an amnesia plot. The "moodiest man" title just hides the fact that he cannot handle real pressure or vulnerability.
Kyle Hunter: In Throne of Power, he acts like he runs things, but he handles actual conflict like a child who drops his toys the moment a real threat walks into the room.
And can we talk about their wealth? Because they aren't even that rich.Compared to the absolute financial empires of the heavy hitters in this universe, Asher and Kyle are practically middle-class.
They are playground bullies at best, not powerful or elite men. Change my mind. Or better yet, try to defend them, because I don't see how anyone can.
