Chapter 8 The House Is Being Sold

"Please, Miss, release us! We didn't offend anyone with the name, Mr.Crow!" Abner gritted his bloodied teeth.

"We're men from the second-rate Crossword family, a direct subordinate of Madam Claire, the daughter of the family head.I'm warning you, lady, if you offend us, you'll regret it!"

In response, Ms.Scarlett smirked.

"It looks to me like you're not getting the message, do you? Are you actually using a second-rate family to threaten me? This is the first time.Let me tell you this: if I wanted to, the Crossword family would cease to exist.Heh! But I don't want to.You see, in the future, Mr.Crow may be using that family as a stepping stone."

Abner was about to retort, clearly not believing a single word from her, but then he caught a glimpse of a pistol on those men in black belts.

Instantly, Abner's face turned pale, as though he had seen a ghost.His back broke a cold sweat.

What the sexy yet brutal lady claimed was most likely true, deeming that only the powerful family had the right to hold firearms and bypass the law that prohibited firearms.

Abner's mind was in turmoil.

Who were these foreigners? He had no inkling who that Mr.Crow was and whatnot.He didn't even know that guy.

How was he supposed to offend him? He thought hard, but nothing came to mind, apart from his recent encounter with the young master Sett...

Abruptly, his eyes went wide, w-was it possible that the fatty was Mr.Crow? No way! That's simply absurd, not in a thousand years.

He'd rather believe a dog transforming into a dragon than that fatty transforming into Mr.Crow, a person of extreme status! Also, he'd seen Sett grow up in the Crossword family residence, so it was all the more of an impossibility.

"It's about time."

Ms.Scarlett said with a smile as she lifted Abner's chin.

"Consider yourself lucky that Mr.Crow merely intended to teach you a lesson; originally I was planning a manslaughter."

Abner and Croc, this pair of Newton brothers, had their teeth clattering when they heard the word "manslaughter".

They inferred that what the lady had just said was true and that she probably had no qualms in doing it.

Shortly after, they were the only ones remaining in the vacant area.

"B-Brother, I think we should get going, b-before those men change their minds." Croc said, with his quivering voice.

"Y-Your r-right, Croc. But the Truck..."

Shortly after, they immediately informed the Madam of what had occurred here, or maybe not.

They were afraid that they would implicate their family.

If they continue to offend those dangerous groups...

After a while, Sett arrived in front of a dilapidated mansion.

This was the house his father had brought from his grandfather, and on the side of this old mansion was a pond that had dried up and an old tree that was withering.

Sett let out a sigh as he saw this.No one was really at fault.

They were so busy putting food on their table that they barely had time to take care of the house.
