"How could you do something like that, Blake?" Manfred glared at him with reddening eyes. He roared, "If she's dead, I'll take you to the grave with m e!"
Blake was not the least bit frightened by Manfred's threat. "What can trash like you do against me? You're like an ant to me. I can crush you anytime I want," he said lightly. "Don't worry though. I'm not done playing with you. It'll be granting you mercy if I just killed you right now."
When he finished speaking, he punched Manfred once more before leaving the office.
It did not take long for Blake to appear in the VIP room after Samuel had arrived there.
Blake smiled when he noticed Johann in the room." Here I was wondering who it is. It's an honor to have you here, Brother Johann," he said. "Since when did you have the free time to hang out in my little space?"
Johann did not dare to make a single peep. This was Blake’s territory. If he accidentally offended Blake, he would die here with no one knowing anything.
Samuel had high hopes for Johann, but he was disappointed in the latter’s attitude. How could he rise to the top with his current lack of spirit?
"Who are you? You must be someone important if
you’re sitting right beside Brother Johann." Blake looked at Samuel and asked.
"I'm Samuel Hannigan."
"What an unfortunate name you have, sir. It's exactly the same as that infamous good-for-nothing trash in Cloud City. Surely you’ve run into plenty of misunderstandings." Blake could not help but grin as h e spoke. He had never met Samuel Hannigan in real life, but his name was so widely known that it was impossible to not know of it.
"I’m that good-for-nothing trash you were referring t o," Samuel replied, expression cool.
"You... You're Samuel Hannigan himself?" Blake stared at the other man in shock. "Oh dear, oh dear. I never thought that would be the case," he said mockingly." What a pasty-faced fellow you are, just like I expected. Your skill in cheating is not too shabby. Do you know what happens to cheaters here?"
Johann waved his arms about. A guard at the back said, "The last time we found a cheater, he walked away with none of his fingertips left intact, sir."
"You heard that. Not a single fingertip left intact. I never expected a good-for-nothing like you to be this daring," Blake said.
"Did you abduct Manfred?” Samuel asked him directly, tired of running circles with him.
Blake frowned when he heard this. "Who the hell are you to demand an answer from me?" he snarled. "Why
should I tell you if I’ve abducted anyone at all?"
"I just want to know if Manfred is here,” Samuel replied.
