“Don’t worry, we’re on the same side,” Robin Bailey patted his shoulder and whispered, “The Dark Sect’s Thirty-Six Guards will be under my command from now on.”
In that instant, the boss trembled again, but also felt relieved. He knew who it was.
Then, the boss turned to Gavin, his expression turning fierce. “Don’t think we don’t know that you instigated this. Guards, throw him out and make sure he never comes in again.”
“Yes,” the security guards immediately approached.
In response, Gavin was taken aback. Throw him out? But he was a guest. He had been standing there all along, just talking. They couldn’t possibly throw him out.
“Osbert, don’t you want to do business anymore? You know who I am, yet you dare to kick me out,” Gavin angrily retorted.
“Compared to this gentleman, you’re nothing,” the boss, Osbert, said angrily.
“This gentleman,” Gavin looked at Robin Bailey, and suddenly understood. They had been mistaken before. This person was the mysterious boss. Only the mysterious boss would provoke such a reaction from Osbert. He was just a bully who was afraid of the strong.
“Osbert, if you persist, remember that I have the support of the Five Great Families behind me,” Gavin said coldly.
Yes, his status was inferior to that guy, but his backing was not insignificant.
However, Osbert sneered. “Throw him out, and also that woman. Throw them both out together.”
“Yes,” the security guards moved forward.
No matter how loudly Gavin and the woman protested, they were eventually thrown out. Along with them, the lobby manager was also thrown out, with a swollen and bruised face.
And there was Lorelei too. No mercy was shown to the woman.
“Gavin, is this your guarantee to me? Guaranteeing that the kid is not someone important,” the lobby manager glared at Gavin with resentment.
Is this your guarantee? A guarantee that made me lose my job? This job was something countless people dreamed of. Not only did it pay well and offer great perks, but it also allowed them to mingle with the upper echelons of Yu Mountain City’s society. Just like the famous Tianhua Tower in North Coast, it provided extensive connections and numerous benefits. And now, it was lost.
Gavin, sitting on the ground feeling embarrassed, was filled with resentment. At that moment, he made a phone call, gritting his teeth and saying, “Fatty Wong, is this what you call a guarantee? I believed in your nonsense.”
It was Fatty Wong, who had made such convincing promises. He had actually believed him. He had truly fallen for his deceit. Sooner or later, he would deal with him.
After finishing the call, he immediately hung up. He didn’t want to hear Fatty Wong’s voice. Just listening to it made him want to hit him. He brushed off the dust from his bottom and declared, “This was my mistake, but don’t worry. Once I bring down their company, my position will skyrocket. Then, I’ll make sure this boss obediently asks you to come back.”
“That’s the only way,” the lobby manager’s resentment slightly dissipated upon hearing those words. There was no other choice now. They had to go all the way.
Meanwhile, Fatty Wong, who received the call at the coal mine, was confused. “What? What did you say? What nonsense?”
He was utterly bewildered. The coal mine was too noisy, with machines roaring beside him. He couldn’t hear clearly what was said on the phone. Fatty Wong looked at the phone and murmured to himself, “They only said one sentence and hung up. It shouldn’t be a big deal. They must have called to inform me that they’ve dealt with that kid. Haha, kid, Gavin may have dealt with you, but I haven’t dealt with you yet.”
“If it weren’t for my busy schedule, you wouldn’t have made it out of here today.”
Next time, he would personally take care of it.
He had to let Robin Bailey know that Yu Mountain City was his territory.
…
Meanwhile, in the upscale restaurant, Robin Bailey asked Isabella Turner to wait outside while he went upstairs to the top-floor office with Osbert. As soon as they arrived, there was a loud thud, and Osbert half-knelt before Robin Bailey.
“I am Osbert, commander of the Dark Sect’s Thirty-Six Guards. I pay my respects to the War God.”
The Dark Sect was under the command of the person in the central tower. It was an internal force belonging to Kisia, with its own rules and regulations. The soldiers from the four borderlands were not allowed to have contact with the inland forces. The inland forces were under the command of the highest military official in the country. One inside, one outside. And the Dark Sect, just as the name suggests, was a hidden force operating underground. They specialized in gathering intelligence and carrying out other tasks. They were responsible for targeting spies or manipulating public opinion, as they had done when dealing with Mr. Berger. However, it used to be Mr. Berger in command, but now Robin Bailey was gradually taking over his position. Mr. Berger had been handing over his trump cards to Robin Bailey, such as the Dark Sect’s Thirty-Six Guards. But Mr. Berger hadn’t finished yet. He wanted Robin Bailey to become familiar with them and gradually get involved. And today, they encountered one member of the Dark Sect.
“Please rise.”
Robin Bailey gestured.
After Osbert stood up, he asked, “War God, how did you discover my identity? I disguised myself as a retired soldier and became a restaurant owner. My family was already wealthy. In theory, my disguise was successful. Except for Mr. Berger, no one should know my true identity.”
He was puzzled.
He and his subordinates didn’t hide their actions, as their ostensible identities were retired soldiers. What they didn’t understand was how Robin Bailey had discovered that he was a member of the Dark Sect.
“Mr. Berger didn’t tell me your specific identity.”
Robin Bailey shook his head. He knew what Osbert wanted to ask, whether Mr. Berger had revealed his identity to Robin Bailey, which was how he found out.
But that wasn’t the case.
Then Robin Bailey continued, “It was your gaze. Your vigilance is too strong. When you came out, you immediately scanned the entire room, taking control of the situation. To my knowledge, this restaurant has been open for many years. Even the strongest soldiers, after retiring, gradually lose their vigilance over time. But your vigilance remains strong. It shouldn’t be like this. But rest assured, this level of observation is rare in the world.”
“If we were to face each other, you wouldn’t stand a chance.”
Robin Bailey patted Osbert’s shoulder, speaking in a softer tone.
“Alright.”
Osbert gritted his teeth. He also knew that what the War God said was true. In front of true masters, their disguises appeared extremely crude. However, it was still effective. There were only a few true masters, and they wouldn’t personally come to search. The world was so vast that the thirty-six Dark Sect Ministers couldn’t possibly conduct searches themselves. As long as it wasn’t those big shots conducting the search, their disguises would never be discovered.
“How long have you been in Yu Mountain City?”
Robin Bailey asked.
“For nearly ten years. We’ve been leading a normal life, with occasional missions that weren’t too dangerous. They were usually related to intelligence matters. The Dark Sect’s main responsibility is gathering intelligence.”
Osbert replied.
