53 you sound even more suspicious now (2/2)

”They won't. I am coming if it'll ease your minds. We might have a different reason, but I wanted to protect this island as well.” Alexander Han is fed up to the stubborn man's constant insinuations but for some reasons, he understands his hostility towards him.

”Right, you can actually contribute something… weapons.” Ace was reminded. When they are preparing their rescue mission, he noticed weapons hidden in one of the supplies they brought. Also, some of their men are equipped with high-level firearms that can only be used properly with thorough training and experience. It was his expertise after all, thus, he knew what type and how challenging it is using a complicated weapon in just one glance.

”Great! Do you have a McMillan Tac-50?” receiving the news, Riggs was elated. It would always better to be equipped beforehand than looting it in the process anyway.

”We don't. But we do have a Barrett M82A1 in our possession.”

”You sound even more suspicious now, either way, let's get those hot chicks ready. Lead the way.” almost jumping from excitement, Riggs circled his thumbs up whilst tilting his head signaling him to get going. Slightly shaking his head to his remarks, Alex leads the way. Passing by the crowded busy people muttering indistinct conversation up to the supplies they brought.

”Young master,” The man with a huge healed burned scar almost covering his face voice was heard. Seeing the preoccupied men revealing their different kinds of equipment hidden in one of their carts, his brows knitted.

”What are you doing?” referring to Riggs and Ace who's busy choosing what weapon they wanted to use and bring.

”Isn't obvious?” Riggs who didn't even bother to turn his head to the unknown person spoke.

”It's fine. Tell elder Hong I'm coming with them.”

”Young master, did they threatened you?”

”You can say that.”- Riggs on the side nonchalantly uttered.

”Don't overthink, Brandon. We'll be back tomorrow. Just make sure the fire won't spread throughout the island.” not backing up Riggs words, he assured the man named Brandon. He examined the two shady men who're busy chattering with each other not giving their full attention to him before he sighs.

”Young master, don't put yourself into something dangerous again.” Brandon though not knowing what these men are up to — he was concerned about his young master whom he owes his life.

”I'm won't.” with a reassuring smile, Alexander affirmed.

”And… we are loaded! You coming?” turning his head to Brandon who's eyes filled with worry, Riggs asked. Brandon glared at him who has an ear to ear grin plastered all over his face.

”No, he won't. Let's go.” leaving Brandon without giving him a second glance. Riggs lightly tap his shoulder whilst clicking his tongue in a disappointed manner as he passes by him. Ace, on the other hand, shakes his head to his confidant's inappropriate teasing.

”His young master doesn't trust him, eh?” Riggs deliberately spoke loudly for the ugly scared man to hear.

”Shh. shut up, his gone now.” Ace hushed him, annoyed by Riggs childish teasing.

”uh, that was fast.” turning to see the man that supposedly behind them, he was amused how the man got over being rejected by his boss.
