Chapter 210 - Nagoya Trip Of Madness (VII) (2/2)

”Yeah, that guy's food was really good to eat and I even enjoyed a serving from him but these loan sharks are the ones causing many people to lose the appetite to eat there. They keep pestering him to pay which causes them to chase away the current customers and also the potential customers. Such a shame really.”

”Do you recognize some of the loan sharks here that have visited this place before?”

”I am not too keen on faces of them but I remember one of them. It's just in the neighborhood. It's the local loan shark business and is pretty much the place some people run into so that they can borrow money. If you are looking for them, you can go to their business site. If I remember correctly, they are open right now.”

”Thank you for the information.”

”I can tell that you are related to the man who was harassed by the loan sharks. You resembled him a lot if only a younger one. Whatever is going on, take care of him alright? He is getting thinner and thinner and I am kinda worried about him.”

I nodded in response. Although I didn't confirm what she said to me was true, she has genuinely feel worried about my father's situation. I bid farewell to her and left to go to the loan sharks. I hated loan sharks for these reasons alone. If the customer who borrowed the money fail to pay even for a single day, they would quickly start acting like they needed to harass the person so much just to pay. They are too much of a scammy business and they are troublesome.

With the directions, the old lady gave to me on where the loan sharks she saw before were, I arrived at the location of the business. As expected, there are lots of thugs in the area. It's not actually deserted but the place is full of thugs from wherever you look. It was like they are currently hanging out in here.

If it was me before, I wouldn't hesitate to turn back and leave the area before the thugs can even notice my presence. But that is not something I would do right now. If possible, I wanted to avoid a fight. I don't want to risk killing others right now. It would be great if they can at least hear me out and at least contribute a bit to find where my Father was.

As soon as I step out of the car and started approaching the building where the operation of the business was, the eyes of all the thugs in the vicinity started to focus on me. Like they scrutinize your entire being, printing your whole body to their minds and ready to pounce like an animal ready to deal with something very nasty. Typical thugs.

Entering the building, the people inside were some people who look like they are in a professional business but with some sort of thug air in them.

”A new customer, welcome, welcome. How may I help you, dear sir?” a bespectacled man responded to me as I approach the table.

”I am not here to borrow money. I need information about my Father.”

”Your Father? Oh...I see. So you are his son. Wonderful, that saves me the time looking for you since your father seems to have gone to hiding. Boys, get him.”

The thugs who were all lazing about in the office stood up and started to do their move. It seems these bastards seem to have no time to listen to my story. I didn't even mention my Father's name and it seems he already figured out whose child I was.

”I know that you are innocent on this but business is a business kid. If you want to last long in this business, then you have to do whatever it takes to finish what you just started.”

The thugs started to encircle me, carrying their weapons. They don't have bloodlust on them but they are willing to do some work. However, it is unfortunate.

”In business, you should know who you should face with. Who knows, maybe they are the ones who will cause your downfall,” I said before assuming a combat stance. Bring it on you bastards, let's see how the Ice deals things to people like you guys.
