“I’ll have someone prepare the things for you at the Orchid Bar downstairs. Go find a few women to fool around with tonight. Without my explicit orders, you’re not to return for the time being,” Zayden spoke calmly.
Terence’s eyes shone as he received the money. Holding it in his hands, he immediately beamed and left after saying words of gratitude.
Zayden scoffed as he watched Terence leave and chided, “Useless piece of trash. Go, spend that f*cking money. The more you spend, the faster you’ll die!”
As he thought about that, Zayden then dialed a number to Harbor City.
“It’s me, Mr. Langdon. Zayden Hanks.”
Zayden spoke on the phone courteously.
The person on the other end harrumphed after a long pause and replied calmly, “Didn’t I tell you not to contact me unless necessary?”
Zayden felt his heart lurch as he replied, “There’s been an accident and I think I might have been exposed.”
Zayden then proceeded to relay everything that had happened today.
As he spoke, it never crossed his mind that his careful and polite demeanor now was no different from how Terence was with him moments ago.
After Zayden was done, the man on the other end raged. “You useless piece of trash! Just how useless are you that you can’t even do something so simple? It’s only been a few days and you’re already exposed?”
Zayden replied frightfully, “It’s mainly because I’ve found myself a useless pawn.”
“And whose fault is that? Do you think you’d still find such useless pawns if you were any better yourself?
