Chapter 16: The Injury Reports
”Kid, don't get so arrogant!”
Yang turned back immediately, making a gesture with his hand. With a threatening wicked voice he said: ”When before me, you should be kneeling down for mercy! Now, try again! If I don't like your tone, you won't make it out through that door behind you!”
A light went on behind the boss, and Saint could see what was hidden in the back: seven or eight men in black with Semi-Automatic rifles. Saint had no idea they were there; they were all pointing their guns at him to the head and ċhėst! He felt uneasy about what was behind him as well. Apparently, other guns were also pointed at him from the back!
Being in such an unprecedented life threatening position, all of Saint's muscles tensed up. He took a deep breath, and calmed himself down, but his body remained tense. However, his mind was clear enough to talk as smoothly and as calmly as before: ”Boss Yang, would you please tell them to put their guns down? After listening to what I have to say, if you still feel dissatisfied, it won't be too late for them to riddle me with holes.”
”Humph!” Yang snorted and waved his arm down, and his men lowered their guns. Arrogantly, he said: ”Talk.”
Saint's first sentence made Yang's face change greatly: ”The pier you want; the ones behind Rand Enterprises buying it are ”The Hand”!”
”Everyone, leave us alone!” With shock upon his face, Yang dismissed his men. He said immediately after: ”I am very sorry. I had no idea about your identity. I did not mean to offend you!”
Saint shook his head and said: ”Oh no Boss Yang, this is a misunderstanding. You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not affiliated with ”The Hand”. However, the one who's in command of Rand Enterprises, and Joy's brother, Ward Meachum, is part of Madam Gao's faction.
”What?” Yang's eyes bulged sharply, and they were filled with fear: ”You mean that buying the pier is Madam Gao's decision? The Old Lady, member of the five Fingers?”
If it was any of the other Four Fingers of the Hand, Yang wouldn't be so afraid. He could simply flee to China if that was the case. However, if he bothered Madam Gao that has operations in China, whatever path he would take, it would lead to his death!
Saint nodded with a smile: ”Now you're getting it. You hurt Joy, you provoke Ward, which in turn would mean that you've provoked Madam Gao. Now, I believe this is enough to make you rather happy about my deeds today!”
”Enough….” Yang revealed a smile that looked more like a cry. He extended his hand: ”Enough indeed. It's like you said. I should thank you. Thank you for keeping my men from making such a colossal mistake. If something wrong was to happen to Joy, we would get into great trouble.”
'If he knew how much I know, I wonder if he'd thank me for just telling him this.”
Saint awkwardly shook back his hand saying: ”Water under the bridge?”
”As long as what you're saying is true, you don't have to worry about what happened today.”
Yang actually was almost completely certain that Saint told the truth. After all, a nobody wouldn't know about The Hand. He would definetly not know about Madam Gao. For formalities sake, he said: ”I'll be verifying this news, you don't have to stay if you don't want to!”
