He walked to the entrance, knocked hard on the door and waited by the side quietly.
Ten minutes later, the door was opened and Duncan walked right in.
The lights inside the castle weren't bright, but they seemed to be able to shine into one's heart, making those who were devout before even more devout than ever.
Duncan bowed his head as he quickly walked into the main hall. Without looking up at the person sitting in front of him, he fell onto one knee with a thud.
"My Leader!" he called out respectfully.
"Duncan, long time no see," said an authoritative sounding voice.
Duncan didn't dare to look up and remained on one knee. "My Leader, I have let you down, I am deeply apologetic about it!"
"Kidd and his family refuses to listen?" "I've tried many methods, from trying to claim the position of becoming the head of the family to trying to talk him round, but it's useless. Kidd's family insists on becoming independent and leaving the clan."
Duncan's tone became grave. "I have not carried out my duties well, please go ahead and punish me!"
Silence.
The main hall suddenly fell silent.
Cold sweat was dripping down Duncan's forehead as if the temperature of the castle had suddenly gone down.
"It seems like using family doesn't work anymore," said that same voice again.
"Since that's the case, we shall take it back by force."
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
SWOOSH!
A few figures appeared in front of Duncan. The amount of wind they stirred up made Duncan find it difficult to even keep his eyes open.
"You have one last chance. If you can take back the portion in Las Vegas, I'll let you live. If not, then these men will bring your head back and throw it into the ancestral hall.”
