The leader of the Green Sky Hall spiraled further into a bad mood.
That afternoon, he found out that Flynn had been hospitalized after being beaten up. One of his legs had been broken so badly, it needed to be amputated.
He was still contemplating what he should do tomorrow—if he should just let the whole incident slide for that bodyguard of the Drake family. He did not expect his subordinates to come crawling to him again.
“Tell me what happened. Why was Luca beaten?” the middle-aged man spoke slowly after having remained silent for a few seconds.
The other man finally narrated everything that had happened. After he finished, he said, “I don’t know if that fellow was making empty threats, but he said he’d bring trouble to the Green Sky Hall tomorrow morning! He wants us to compensate every bit of that fifty thousand bucks!”
“F*ck!”
The middle-aged man was extremely angry. He slammed his hand on the table beside him and with a sharp crack, the table splintered into pieces.
He stood up and spoke furiously, “Does he think that the people of Green Sky Hall are such pushovers? We’ve already given nine hundred and fifty thousand bucks. What more does he want? Jeez. That bodyguard from this morning knows the Goddess of War, and he’s a son-in-law of the second-class aristocrats, the Taylor family. Who’s this b*stard now? Don’t tell me he knows Gods of War too!”
The man kneeling on the floor furrowed his brows. “We’re not sure, but at any rate, he quickly fought us once he came. He probably doesn’t know any Gods of War!”
“Alright. Leave for now. I’d like to see if he comes tomorrow!”
The elder nodded. He thought about it for a while before adding, “Why don’t we do this, Master? We’ll give him a test. It’ll also be a way for us to lose face gracefully. It won’t be embarrassing if word gets out, right? Or we could test his strength. He might serve us some purpose if he’s truly strong!”
Hector’s eyes brightened as he heard the suggestion. He smacked the side of his head. “You’re right! Why didn’t I think of that?” he exclaimed. “I heard that the fellow was a Head Commander. He’s definitely strong. More importantly, he has contacts. It’d be fantastic if he used them for the sake of the Green Sky Hall!”
“By the way, I’ve noticed quite a few leaflets circulating the city today, advertising the birthday party this fellow is going to throw for his wife. He even claims that it’ll cause a stir throughout the entire city.”
The elder quickly thought of something else.
