At that moment, Mick Wheatly-the gang leader of Mus Hall-was worrying about something. as he sat in


    his room. Mus Hall had offended the Blood-Drinker Gang before, which gave the Blood-Drinker Gang


    an excuse to make a big fuss, saying that they should submit to the Blood. -Drinker Gang and pay a


    considerable amount of money in offerings every month. Any disobedience would lead to the


    destruction of Mus Hall. Despite his reluctance in agreeing to such terms, he had no choice but to do


    so for the sake of the lives of Mus Hall’s members.


    “Don’t


    you think they’re being too tyrannical, Dad?” Mick’s daughter, Candy, could not help. but sigh when she


    saw the frown on his face. “They’re being bullies!”


    Mick sighed. “Well, there isn’t anything I can do about it, is there? Our hall master was powerful enough


    to be on the same level as the Blood-Drinker Gang’s leader, but now that he’s gone, we are no match


    for Tharan at all. Our deaths are all but certain if we don’t listen to them, and even though I don’t care


    much about my own life now that I’m old, I can’t bring myself to watch my daughter die! There’s still so


    many of our members here too!”

    “Sir, the Blood-Drinker Gang’s second elder has arrived!” Someone yelled at the door.


    Mick and Candy looked at each other in shock, while the two old men and a woman beside them


    frowned too. None of them knew why Menkel Wagford, the Blood-Drinker Gang’s second elder, would


    look for them at such a time.


    “Haha, what brings you here to our humble ce, Second Elder?” Mick immediately greeted. Menkel


    with a smile and said to him, “I didn’t know you’d be here today. I apologize for not making the


    necessary preparations for your arrival, and I hope you won’t take offense!” “Haha, you’re being too


    polite!” After Menkel walked over, he sat down and then said to Mick, “I came here today to ask for a


    favor!”


    Mick motioned for one of his men to pour tea for Menkel and said, “Is it time to hand in the offerings? I


    remember there being a few more days until the deadline.”


    Menkel immediately smiled and said, “We’re like family now, aren’t we? How can we possibly rush you


    into fulfilling those obligations? I came looking for you because our gang leader needs your help to


    complete a certain task!”


    Mick frowned as soon as he heard that and his expression sank slightly as he nced at his daughter


    and the three elders.


    “Is something the matter? I haven’t exined the task yet. Perhaps you are not keen on epting the


    task we’ve assigned even though you’ve just joined the Blood-Drinker Gang?” Menkel was not too


    pleased when he saw everyone’s reaction and he pretended to be angry at them. “We want to see your


    sincerity, if you get what I mean.”


    “Of course, of course! We are as sincere as can be!” Mick immediately looked at Menkel with at smile


    as he asked, “Could you perhaps enlighten us on what task you’re talking about?”


    “We want you to help us kill someone in Brookbourn!” Menkel then said.


    When Candy heard that, she could not help but say, “Kill someone? Why would you want our people to


    handle such a simple matter instead of sending your men?”
