The two bodyguards could immediately tell what Johnny wanted, and one of them pursed his lips. "Just go. I will tell Mr. Droitner that Frank Lawrence showed up—don't worry, no one will steal your reward."
"Thanks, bro!" Johnny was delighted and kept bowing at the bodyguard, who only waved him off and said nothing.
However, just as he was about to turn and leave, he found himself staring at the old driver's face as he quietly stood behind him.
"Woah!"
Johnny flinched at the sight. "Oh, you scared me, sir! What are you still doing here? Wait, this is good. You can give me a ride back."
Madfist merely chuckled and shook his head.
"What, do you want more money?"
Johnny frowned, a little annoyed. "I just gave you two hundred. Isn't that enough for a round trip?"
"No, kid." Madfist chuckled. "I just don't have the time to drive you because I have other things to do."
Johnny was left drawing a blank. "Other things?"
"Yes. Other things."
The old man smiled and slowly walked up to the two bodyguards. Then, as they watched in confusion, he suddenly moved at lightning speed, grabbing both men by the throats and slamming them to the ground!
"What?!"
Johnny was left dumbstruck, just as Madfist chuckled. "Hehehe… Thanks, young man. I really wouldn't have found Huub Droitner's home if not for you."
"You… Traitor!"
One of the bodyguard's cheeks went flush as Madfist's fingers tightened around his throat, looking at once furious and shocked even as he reached a hand toward Johnny.
"W-What do you want?!"
The bodyguard was shaking after seeing how his colleague had just died, stopping short of wetting himself on the spot.
The old man was smiling amicably, but he was truly vicious, snapping a man's neck without warning!
As such, the remaining bodyguard was genuinely terrified of being next.
"Take me to the hostages!" Madfist bellowed just then.
"The hostages?!"
The bodyguard flinched when he heard that and shook his head repeatedly. "N-No… I don't know anything about hostages…"
Madfist sighed, because the bodyguard obviously knew.
