Chapter 596 First time meeting (2/2)

Quickly as the whistle sound, from a near and far distance, the sound of guns clicking can be heard as a group of beggars scattered in wait. Each person was ready to shoot the new group, but hearing the whistle, they quickly put aside their guns and return to their usual positions.

Inside the old Victorian hotel, the four figures and the unconscious Ning Mei were greeted by another beggar looking man. Only, he was older and had disheveled white hair. He held a cane to help support his hunched posture.

”Good evening, Leader of Fate. Please follow me this way.”

Silently nodding their head, the group wearing masks proceeds after the old man. He led them to the only elevator in the building to go up. Despite the place being empty and in a horrible condition, the elevator, and the electricity inside were still running like normal.

As the group ascend up, the old man stood behind the red mask man. His head remained looking ahead, but his eyes couldn't help but scans the figure standing next to him.

Reading the white bold character on the back of the man's coat, his eyes narrows slightly, and he thought to himself.

'So this is the notorious leader of Fate.'

This is his first time meeting the person face to face.

Other times, it was always with another person as no one knows the real identity of the person. Some say Fate's leader is a man, but there are some that says it is a woman. However, now he knows.

Like he had thought his thoughts aloud, the red mask man slightly turns his head to look at the old man.

He doesn't say anything but nod his head. Whether it was to send a warning or a polite gesture, one could not tell.

However, the old man was rooted to the floor when he saw this.

He was sure he was careful as to not give himself away, but when he met the man's face, despite it being covered by a sinister looking mask, he quickly avert his eyes.

*Ding

There were a total of ten floors inside the hotel, but the elevator soon comes to a stop on the fifth floor and the elevator bell chimes. The old man smiles with upside down crescent eyes and spoke.

”The room you requested for is straight ahead.”

His smile widens and it reveals his black and decayed teeth. At the same time, the elevator door slides open and he gestures one hand out.

However, just when the door open, what greeted the masked group was a crowd of twenty beggars in wait for them.

Despite their raggedy appearance, each person held their guns like professionals and the look in their eyes resembles that of a soldier who had seen death far too many times.

”After you.”

The old man spoke politely again. His reaction was as if there weren't twenty other people with guns positioned outside the elevator.
