Wolves, Maces, And Blood novel Chapter 54

“Don't just stand there. Let’s go back inside.”

Gemma wiped away tears and said excitedly, “It’s great to have my Sean back. I’ll cook something for you and you can have a few drinks and take your time to catch up.”

“Okay! Okay!”

Dean smiled and nodded.

But Sean said, “You guys go ahead. This place is a mess. I’ll clean it up and be right with you.”

Gemma and Dean were stunned, then guessed that Sean was trying to avoid them. He wanted to speak privately to Betty and that punk. So, they nodded, picked up the money at their feet, supported each other and turned away.

Betty and the bully were immediately nervous.

Sean was a real demon. He was not as easy to deal with as Gemma and Dean.

“Mr. Mason, you…”

Betty unconsciously took two steps back to distance herself from Sean and spoke up, “Let me know what else you want, and we’ll do whatever we can for you.”

“Yes.”

The bully nodded.

Sean looked him straight in the eye and said, “Did you just say that you were at the behest of Grayson Miller, Caleb Taylor, and Hudson Scott?”

“Yes.”

“So, you know them pretty well, huh?”

“Well…”

He said awkwardly, “They are famous rich people in the south of the city. They are arrogant and domineering outside due to their rich and powerful family, and I can only be a lackey beside them at best.”

“I took their money and I worked for them.”

Sean said impatiently, “Make an appointment with them this afternoon and call me to tell me the address.”

“What?”

The bully was stunned, “Mr. Mason, are you trying to…”

“Stop pretending!”

Sean snorted, “You just told me you were on their orders, didn’t you secretly want me to go after them?”

“When the time comes, I’ll fight with them, and you’ll play it by ear. Whoever wins, you take their side.”

“Right?”

Sean was not stupid.

Dean knew that Hudson Scott and the others were behind Betty and the bullies, but he insisted it again. Obviously, he was not talking to Dean and Gemma at all.

He was just talking to Sean!

He was trying to lure Sean into revenge!

Originally, they could have left and contacted Hudson Scott and others privately. They could have asked them to come over and get in trouble with Sean to vent his hatred for Sean.

But that would really offend Sean.

It was just that Sean was fighting so hard. It was amazing and terrifying. If Hudson Scott and others were no match for Sean, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, the bully played a trick.

He told Sean to find Hudson Scott and others. That way, no matter what the outcome, who won or lost, he couldn’t be blamed. He had the initiative, and could have been a happy wallflower, falling with the wind.

I had to say, a punk like this, despite his character and ability, knew how to survive, how to keep himself alive.

Unfortunately, Sean saw right through him!

This little trick was like a child’s trick to Sean.

The trick was exposed by Sean on the spot, and the bully was suddenly livid with fear. The first thing he did was to kneel at Sean’s feet and say, “I’m sorry.”

“I can’t help it. You and the three of them are too big a deal for an underdog like me. I can’t afford to offend either side.”

“Mr. Brain.”

After the phone was connected, the middle-aged uncle left the crowd and said carefully, “Just as the boss expected, the target showed up in the south suburbs of the city, looking for Dean and Gemma…”

He told mhim exactly what had happened just now.

“Got it.”

A deep, booming voice came from the phone, “Keep an eye on him, and keep me posted.”

“Okay!”

The middle-aged man hung up the phone and walked back into the crowd, not looking out of place with these neighbors…

…

Eleven o’clock at noon.

About twenty minutes before Phyllis was due to leave school, Marcia took Sean’s black supreme card and pushed Matthew to the front of the bank across from the kindergarten.

There were people going in and out.

On the lawn next to it squatted a young man. He looked down at his phone, with a cigarette in his mouth, and lifted his head from time to time to look at the entrance of the kindergarten on the opposite side.

The same guy Luis Sanchez sent to kidnap Phyllis.

At one point, Marcia even made eye contact with the young man. Unfortunately, she did not know the young man, so her eyes passed him without paying attention.

But the young man recognized her!

The reason was simple. The young man had seen pictures of Marcia and Matthew before he came.

“Bah!”

The young man stood up, spit out his half-burned cigarette, walked past Marcia and Matthew, walked across the street, and went straight to the kindergarten.

“You wait here. I’ll go in alone!”
