"Heh. Can you really stand it, Hector? This i s a colossal loss for you! Have you really thought about it? At any rate, I've got some grudges against the kid!"
Lee chuckled, although he was a little unhappy. He had thought that the master o f the Green Sky Hall would agree to cooperate with him. After all, Fane had bullied him practically to death.
He never expected that Hector would choose to compromise himself at this moment.
"Master Neuman, what happened to the Green Sky Hall is a little different from what happened to yours. The Eagle Clan lost 300 men. They were your precious comrades, so I understand if you want to kill Fane!'
Hector released a breath. He picked up his cup from the table and sipped from it." However, no one from our side has died," h e said slowly, "only two of our men were critically injured. One had his leg broken, and the other had his d*ck rendered useless. So we didn't lose any men, and we've only lost a bit of money. There's no need for us to provoke a man who has the strength of a King of War. Look, let's say we fight-we'll still suffer heavy losses even if we win!”
The corners of Lee's lips began to twitch. Green Sky Hall was very powerful, and they had the backing of Kingston Hall. That was why he wanted to cooperate with them and gather their strongest fighters to assassinate Fane together.
Now though, if Green Sky Hall refused his proposal, he would have zero chance against Fane, with only the men from the Eagle Clan to rely on.
He never expected that Hector would cast him a long look and suddenly break into a smile. “Oh, right. I heard that Fane had offended Young Master Wilson during Old Man Taylor's seventieth birthday party not too long ago," he said. "The Wilsons are very powerful too. That brat's really got some guts!"
Lee was not an idiot. When he heard this, h e immediately understood the hidden message behind Hector's words. His eyes brightened as he leaped to his feet. "Master Zaborowski, think about my proposal for a while longer. Once you have truly come to your senses, just give me a call. We'll stand together, for the enemy of an enemy is a friend. I believe that there'll be a day where we'll be allies!” "Heh. Let's wait and see. For now, though, I really don't want to provoke someone who's as strong as a King of War!”
Hector chuckled and climbed onto his feet as well, preparing to see his guest off.
