"You called for us, Master?”
The assistant commander of the bodyguards quickly asked Winston. It was already late at night, and everyone was preparing to go to sleep. They could not comprehend why their master was calling for them and was curious as to what was going on.
"There are dozens of bodies in Fane Woods' garden. Go over, help clear it out and find somewhere to burn the bodies!"
Winston said, smiling.
"No way. Master, the George family is a first -class aristocratic family too. How can we b e used just like that? And for such a degrading task too..."
The assistant commander did not know what else to say.
"What do you know? Fane and his family will be leaving Middle Province soon. I heard that they had killed some people from Gin City in the afternoon. They probably offended some influential family, and so are forced to leave. His villa could not have been easy to sell off, so he’s going t o give it to us!
"Go on then! After you finish your work, see me for your bonus tomorrow," Winston said, chuckling. "I'll give each of you 10,000 bucks!"
"You have our thanks, Master!"
The bodyguards were suddenly elated.
Each of them rushed off to help Fane and the others to get rid of the bodies.
The next day, the Taylor family realized whatever assets they could. At night, Old Man Taylor and the others invited Fane and his family as well as Cecilia and the Gold family over for dinner.
