"Really? He must have spent a lot of money. Does he really have that much money to splash around? Or perhaps the old master of the Taylor family will be giving him money to celebrate Young Miss Taylor's birthday?"
Hector frowned. "Probably not. He said that it’d be shameful to use the Taylor family’s money. Besides, he's just a son-in-law. No one would be so nice to someone like that."
"Mmhmm. Let's just prepare for tomorrow first!"
The elder spoke after a moment of contemplation. "If he comes alone and acts rudely, it's possible for us to kill him off. No one can pinpoint the murder to us if the body disappears. If we say that he never came, the Gods of War wouldn’t just destroy the entire gang for his sake."
Hector nodded. "You're right. That man saved the Goddess of War, but he was probably a doctor in the army so it was his duty to save lives. Besides, the Goddess of War boosted his reputation aplenty during Old Man Taylor’s birthday party. She doesn't owe him anything anymore. If we d o kill him and pretend to not know anything, the most the Goddess of War will probably do is to pretend to interrogate us!"
The next day, a group of people waited in the huge garden right after the Green Sky Hall's entrance. They wanted to see if the bodyguard from the Drake family and the man who bellowed about coming to claim the 50 thousand bucks would actually come.
Fane parked the car at the entrance. He walked straight in when he noticed that there was no one there.
Two muscled bodies immediately blocked him after he took a few steps into the garden.
One of them spoke in a rumbly, intimidating voice, "Are you the son-in-law from the Taylor family?”
Fane nodded. "Get out of my way. I came here to talk with your master. I don't want t o waste my time with you!"
