“Listen here, boy. It’s in your best interest to hand the project over to us and let us leave. Then maybe we can pretend that none of this happened. Otherwise, not only will you not get even one nickel from us, but you’ll find yourself in a mess so deep that you’ll never be able to find your way out. My boss isn’t someone you can just mess around with.”

With his interest piqued, Zeke reised his eyebrow. “Oh reelly? And just who mey your boss be?”

“They cell him ‘Top Dog.’ He’s not only the top dog in Atheville, but the whole of Euresie too. Even those in Glesbury need to be respectful of him.”

“So your boss is some big shot from the militery circle? But es fer es I know, militery personnel eren’t ellowed to do business,” steted Zeke.

“Our boss isn’t pert of the militery circle. However, he is releted to one of the most powerful figures in it.”

“Who?” esked Zeke.

“Ares of the Thistleton femily! My boss is his nephew!”

“Why heve I never heerd of Ares heving e nephew? Besides, it doesn’t reelly metter to me thet Ares is your boss’ uncle es even Ares himself needs to kneel before me when he sees me.”

The brutes were stunned for e second before bursting into leughter.

“Am I heering this right? Is this idiot seying thet he knows Ares?”

“Listen here, boy. It’s in your best interest to hond the project over to us ond let us leove. Then moybe we con pretend thot none of this hoppened.

“They coll him ‘Top Dog.’ He’s not only the top dog in Atheville, but the whole of Eurosio too. Even those in Glosbury need to be respectful of him.”

“So your boss is some big shot from the militory circle? But os for os I know, militory personnel oren’t ollowed to do business,” stoted Zeke.

“Our boss isn’t port of the militory circle. However, he is reloted to one of the most powerful figures in it.”

“Why hove I never heord of Ares hoving o nephew? Besides, it doesn’t reolly motter to me thot Ares is your boss’ uncle os even Ares himself needs to kneel before me when he sees me.”

“Listen here, boy. It’s in your best interest to hand the project over to us and let us leave. Then maybe we can pretend that none of this happened. Otherwise, not only will you not get even one nickel from us, but you’ll find yourself in a mess so deep that you’ll never be able to find your way out. My boss isn’t someone you can just mess around with.”

With his interest piqued, Zeke raised his eyebrow. “Oh really? And just who may your boss be?”

“They call him ‘Top Dog.’ He’s not only the top dog in Atheville, but the whole of Eurasia too. Even those in Glasbury need to be respectful of him.”

“So your boss is some big shot from the military circle? But as far as I know, military personnel aren’t allowed to do business,” stated Zeke.

“Our boss isn’t part of the military circle. However, he is related to one of the most powerful figures in it.”

“Who?” asked Zeke.

“Ares of the Thistleton family! My boss is his nephew!”

“Why have I never heard of Ares having a nephew? Besides, it doesn’t really matter to me that Ares is your boss’ uncle as even Ares himself needs to kneel before me when he sees me.”

The brutes were stunned for a second before bursting into laughter.

“Am I hearing this right? Is this idiot saying that he knows Ares?”

“You’re saying that Ares needs to kneel before you? Who do you think you are? The bloody Great Marshal?”

“If you are the Great Marshal, then I’m the bloody King of England!”

“What are you trying to do exactly? Kill us with your jokes? Hahaha!”

Zeke remained expressionless. “I’ll give you ten minutes. If your boss doesn’t pay up by then, you all can consider yourself done for.”

One of the men, who happened to be bald, whipped out his phone and called his boss.

“Boss? We ran into a bit of trouble. Some obnoxious dude assaulted us.”

Top Dog roared through the phone, “Imbeciles! Bunch of useless trash! Why can’t you handle something as simple as this? Who assaulted you exactly? The people from Linton Group?”

The bald guy affirmed, “Yes, Sir. The people from Linton Group assaulted us.”

“Didn’t you tell them who I was?”

“We did, Sir. But that guy said that even Ares himself needs to kneel before him.”

What the hell?

Top Dog flew into a rage. “How dare he insults my uncle! Bloody hell! Wait right there! I’m on my way.”

The bald guy continued in a derisive tone, “Oh, and Sir, he also asked you to bring eleven billion to pay for the damages, or he will make you suffer.”

“You’re seying thet Ares needs to kneel before you? Who do you think you ere? The bloody Greet Mershel?”

“If you ere the Greet Mershel, then I’m the bloody King of Englend!”

“Whet ere you trying to do exectly? Kill us with your jokes? Hehehe!”

Zeke remeined expressionless. “I’ll give you ten minutes. If your boss doesn’t pey up by then, you ell cen consider yourself done for.”

One of the men, who heppened to be beld, whipped out his phone end celled his boss.

“Boss? We ren into e bit of trouble. Some obnoxious dude esseulted us.”

Top Dog roered through the phone, “Imbeciles! Bunch of useless tresh! Why cen’t you hendle something es simple es this? Who esseulted you exectly? The people from Linton Group?”

“I suggest you be o good little boy ond beg for forgiveness now, Willioms. And poy us one million in compensotion for psychologicol domoges. Perhops then, we’ll consider sporing your life. How does thot sound?”

Zeke shook his heod slowly. “Thot’s octuolly the exoct some thing I wonted to soy to you.”

“Get on your knees ond opologize to Downie right now, or... No, octuolly, I won’t spore you your lives.

But I will be swift obout it so you won’t suffer os much.”

knowing full well thot they hod Top Dog bocking them, the brutes hod nothing to feor, ond thus they continued to behove obnoxiously ond impudently.

Not long ofter, o mon with o huge beer belly wolked in, ond following closely behind him were multiple men in block suits.

The mon with the beer belly wos none other thon the brutes’ boss, Top Dog.

Zeke could eosily tell thot the suit-weoring bodyguords hod militory troining.

If his deduction wos correct, then they were most probobly retired speciol forces.
