Chapter 597 big shot to wake up (1/2)
Despite the drop of temperature inside the old Victorian hotel, the mask group did not feel any threat at all. Calmly taking a step forward, the figure wearing the red mask exits the elevator as so did the other three.
Each person looked like they were on vacation at a resort and heading in the direction of their hotel room.
The last to get off the elevator, the old man kept his eyes on the red mask man. He wanted to see if the rumors were true about Fate's leader.
It was said that even when face with such crisis, the leader of Fate and is always calm. Even when a gun is pointed at her, neither she nor her subordinates are afraid.
As the old man thought this, the elevator door slides close from behind and the sound of multiple guns cock loudly inside the hallway.
All twenty men points their guns at the mask group and were ready to fire when given word.
However, just like the rumors, the mask group did not tremble or cower away in fear.
Each person stood as calm as ever before the red mask man calmly reach inside his coat and pulls out a Glock 26 with an attached silencer.
He lifts his arm up and aims the gun in the direction of the twenty men. However, he doesn't stop there, but moves his aim to the old man standing to his right.
”You…”
Seeing this, one of the twenty men stammer as he and the others were taken back by surprise. The calm and confident expression they once had was completely ripped away with traces of panic.
”Is this how Dark Clouds welcome their guests?”
A deep voice sounds from the man wearing a red hannya mask. He looks away from the group of 20 beggars and turn his head to the old man that rode the elevator with them.
”Hu Ma.”
The old man was taken back by surprise when he heard his name called. However, he laughs heartily and wave one of his hand to tell the twenty men to lower their weapons.
His back that was once in a hunched posture gradually straightens and he place one hand behind his back as the other held onto the cane.
”Indeed you are quick-witted as the rumor says.”
Hu Ma chuckles again and takes a step forward. He looks up at the tall man and kept his smile.
”Do forgive me for the ill-manner welcome. It is not every day that we receive such an important guest as yourself. We just needed to make sure that you were not an imposter.”
When he was first informed that Fate was coming and had a deal to offer, he was shocked and surprise. However, he and his men had to be cautious because in the past they met a few imposters pretending to be Fate's leader.
He looks at the tall figure and smiles a light nod.
”Let me lead you to the room you requested.”
”No need.”
The red mask man casually responds to Hu Ma and lowers the gun in his hand. His body turns to face the old man and his words continue.
”I am only here to deliver what I promised.”
Hearing this, Hu Ma heaves a long sigh in disappointment. He thought that Fate would be staying the night. He even went so far as to have his men clean the place up.
Of course, the hotel was still in a horrible condition like a tornado had just visited them, but it was still cleaner than before.
However, knowing that anything he says will not persuade his honorable guest, he nods his head agreeingly.
”I will not keep you here then. As promised, I have done my part of the deal. My men are at your disposal.”
As someone who has been in the underworld for a long time, he knows not to push his luck.
Once the two leaders come to a quick understanding, Hu Ma signals his men to move aside and let their guests through.
As the mask men proceed forward in the direction of their requested room, Hu Ma and the members of Dark Clouds stare after the four figures.
