Chapter 31 Master Eight
"Alright, I'll give you a chance!" Egbert said. "If you can knock them off, all my people here, I'll givethem the price difference. Of course, if you fail, they won't be able to stop themselves and I can'tguarantee what kind of harm they will cause to you!"
"I'll give you a chance too!" Billy put down his teacup and looked at Egbert. "Tomorrow morning, youpersonally go to the community and apologize door-to-door, then make up the money, I will let youoff this time. How do you feel about it?"
Egbert laughed out loud and said, "Interesting, it's been a long time since I heard someone say 'letme off the hook' like that for me!"
After speaking, he stood up and walked to a nearby chair, then beckoned to his men and said, "Getstarted! Don't let them die."
Then, dozes of men rushed to Billy and Casey with weapons.
"Too bad, you made the wrong choice!" Billy shrugged his shoulders.novelbin
Before he finished his words, Casey had already moved.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In less than three minutes, Egbert's men lay down like ripe lobsters, howling in agony. Sweatsdripped down Egbert's forehead, and his face twisted in shock. At the same time, he flicked his wristand the cigar fell onto his pants, making a sizzling sound.
"Who... who are you?" He swallowed hard and trembled as he looked at Casey after shaking off theash from the cigarette butt. He couldn't help but be shocked. In just over two minutes, all fifty peoplehad fallen. He had never met someone as capable as Casey in the underground world of Ozinbefore. He wasn't stupid and thus he realized Casey was not an ordinary person. His heart couldn'thelp but skip a beat. Did he provoke someone today?
"So? Do you want to call for backup? I can wait for you!" After Casey returned to his seat, Billylooked at Egbert and spoke calmly.
Egbert took a deep breath before speaking up. "We don't have to be enemies just because wehaven't met before. Can we become friends instead?"
"If you don't call anyone else, then go back and prepare your money! If I don't see you in theneighborhood tomorrow morning, your company won't survive!"
"It's better to leave some room for ourselves so that we can meet again later on friendly terms."Egbert took another deep breath before speaking again in a low voice.
"It looks like you're still not convinced?" Billy interrupted him impatiently. "Don't waste my timeanymore! Call whoever you want within half an hour!"
It had been a long time since someone had ignored Egbert like that. After a brief pause, Egbertsaid, "If that's what you want, then so be it!"
He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. When the call connected, he spoke into thereceiver.
"I don't think you two are from Ozin, are you?" After hanging up the phone, Egbert regained someconfidence and turned to Billy and Casey.
"Is the call over? Just wait on the side while we eat. Don't disturb us." After speaking, Billy shoutedloudly at the crowd of people watching from afar, "Waiter, bring our food!"
"Arrogant bastard! I hope you can still be this arrogant later!" Egbert murmured.
Time flew by quickly; half an hour passed in no time at all and Billy and Casey had filled theirstomachs. Suddenly, someone were approaching the door with chaotic footsteps outside. Twenty orso people walked in. The leader was a middle-aged man about Egbert's age and he looked strongwith sharp eyes that emitted an aura of violence. He was Master Eight, whose real name wasDamon Arnold. When he was young both of his hands were cut off one finger, which earned him hisnickname-Master Eight.
Compared to Neal from Cloud City who they met earlier today, Master Eight far surpassed him interms of strength. Following closely behind Damon was a lean old man with full cheeks, deep-seteyes, and a fierce aura that indicated he was no ordinary martial artist. This old man was noneother than Ezio Andrews, Damon's top fighter and the reason why Damon could sit on the throne ofOzin's underground emperor. After the lean old man came Damon's four trusted subordinates. Theywere all muscular and powerful.
In addition to these twenty people who had entered the restaurant, there were also nearly threehundred people outside holding knives and sticks with an imposing aura.
"Master Eight!" Egbert's eyes lit up when he saw Damon. He quickly stepped forward to greet him."Thank you for coming in person!"
"Egbert, who has the guts to mess with you?" Damon scanned Billy and his companion beforeasking.
"They're unfamiliar faces from out of town." Egbert responded. "They seem skilled."
"Oh really?"
Damon approached Billy and Casey with Egbert and sized them up. "Damon Arnold, who are you?"
"Don't you play on both sides of the law?" Billy ignored Damon and walked to Egbert. "That's all yougot?"
Damon pulled a long face since Billy directly ignored him.
"You're called Damon?" Billy turned his attention towards him instead of responding to Egbert. "Areyou sure you want to get involved in this mess?"
"Egbert is my sworn brother, his concerns is my concerns. What do you think?"
He hadn't paid much attention to Billy earlier but now he sensed an extremely dangerous auraemanating from him-one that only someone who had crawled out of a pile of corpses couldpossess. He had once befriended a mercenary leader, but Billy appeared more intimidating thanDamon's friend.
"Have you thought it through?" Billy looked Damon up and down. "Let me give you some advice,once you make a move, there's no turning back!"
"My friend, I can see that you have good taste. If you're willing to do me a favor, I can act as anintermediary. What do you think?" After some consideration, Damon spoke up.
He didn't get to where he was today by being reckless and impulsive. He could now be one 100%certain that Billy and his companion had been through countless battles and emerged victorious.The fact that they could maintain such composure in front of so many people was something onlyextraordinary individuals could achieve.
Although he was the underground kingpin of Ozin, he didn't want to make enemies with people likethem unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Is that so? How do you plan on being our intermediary?" Billy smiled faintly.
