"How about this? I''lle with you to see your boss and Fox, and I promise I''ll be able to get what you want out of Fox too. But before that, you need to promise me that you aren''t going to hurt a single person in this inn. If you agree, I''ll untie you and you can take me to see your boss. How''s that?"


    The man gave it some thought, before saying, "I can''t promise that, but I can ask my boss!"


    Wilbur nodded. "Sure, go ahead."


    He dialed the same number from before once more and held it up to the man''s ear.


    After a brief call between the man and Hooked Nose, the man ended the call with a nod. "My boss has agreed. He''s waiting for you at the Royale Hotel right now."


    "Okay, let''s go."


    Wilbur untied the team leader after that and even helped to carry the other men into the car outside.


    The team leader drove with Wilbur in the passenger seat, and it was not long before they reached the Wencover Royale Hotel.


    Wilbur followed the team leader into a hotel before boarding a special elevator to the top floor of the hotel.


    Right after they got out of the elevator, Wilbur was patted down from head to toe by two bodyguards before he was allowed entry.


    The team leader brought Wilbur down a ss hallway, leading to an ongoing pool party.


    The partygoers consisted of two men and a room full of hot girls in bikinis.


    Despite the fact that winters in Cametra were freezing, the pool was heated, and a young man was currently in the middle of a ssh-off with a gaggle of girls. Sat by the pool with an ashen expression, was none other than Hooked Nose!


    He waved a hand at Wilbur and the team leader, waiting for them toe up to him before saying, "So, you''re the guy who took down eight of my men and called me, right?"


    "That''s right," Wilbur replied calmly.


    Hooked Nose barked out augh. "Bravo, bravo! A man of courage, I see! I haven''t met someone like you in a long, long time. I admire your courage, but I''m afraid I''m going to have to kill you if you don''t give me what I want, or my boss will kill me instead. Of course, if you do get me what I need, I''ll give you a good job and all the girls you could want!"


    Hooked Nose pondered for a bit before adding, "If you''re willing to join the Hexagram Church, I can promise you that there will be so many more benefits awaiting. I''m looking forward to your response, young man. Go on, the guy you''re here for is in another room. Don''t forget our promise!"


    Hooked Nose waved one of his men over after that, and Wilbur was brought to the room Fox was held in.


    It was only when Wilbur had entered the room that he saw several doctors currently tending to Fox''s wounds.


    The man who brought Wilbur in dismissed the doctors, leaving Wilbur and Fox in


    the room alone. Wilbur nced at an anesthetized, but still conscious Fox, then put a palm right on Fox''s forehead.
