Wolves, Maces, And Blood

Chapter 54 Growing Crisis. Sean’s secrets

“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.”

“With so many people watching, the three of them will soon hear of your return. I was afraid you’d think

I was telling on you, so…”

His words made sense.

If Hudson or anyone else came knocking on the door, Sean would probably blame it on him.

“Get up.”

Sean snorted, “You can complain or find another reason. I don’t care about the process. I just want the

result.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

“You have to ask them out this afternoon!”

In the face of absolute power, all the alleged intrigues were vulnerable.

Sean was confident that he had it in him.

Therefore, he didn’t care if the bully would betray him or Hudson and others would set a trap for him in

advance.

Let them do their tricks, and he would blow them away!

“Thank you for your generosity!”

The bully stood up and looked up, his face covered with cold sweat. He said seriously, “You may rest

assured that I will take care of it for you.”

“You can leave now.”

Sean said, “Go to the hospital. Bandage your hand. There won’t be a big problem.”

“You!”

Then, Sean looked at Betty and said, “Get some cold water to wake them up and clean up the floor.”

“Okay.”

They both bowed and nodded respectfully.

After arranging this, Sean strode into the store to meet Dean and Gemma.

Unbeknownst to Sean, one of the onlookers was an unattractive middle-aged man who witnessed the

whole thing. He watched him enter the store, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

“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!”
