233 The Human Torch’s Invitation (2/2)
He was at a loss of words.
After much consideration, the red-haired man finally hissed through gritted teeth.
”Your Excellency, I must apologize. I am in charge of the safety on this island. I hope that you can hold back while you are still on this island. After everyone leaves the island, you may kill these people as you wish. I will definitely not interfere! I, Human Torch Shroder, hereby thank you for your cooperation, on behalf of the Mutants Brotherhood!” The red-haired man was trying his best to ensure the safety of the Tokugawa household while they were still on this island. He would at least stop them from being completely annihilated by Jiang Fei on the island!
”Hmm…” Jiang Fei pretended to be deep in thought as he secretly took a peek at Han Tianyu.
”Hmm!” Han Tianyu nodded his head slightly. He did not need to take the lives of the Tokugawa household right away. Now that they had already acquired an excuse, getting rid of the Tokugawa household was only a matter of time. As for the lives of people like Tokugawa Kazuyoshi, Han Tianyu did not mind letting them live for a few more days.
”Alright! I will do that much for you.”
Jiang Fei nodded towards Shroder. He was still traumatized by his accidental murder of the bodyguard earlier. Naturally, he was not thinking about killing more people.
”I wonder, how should I address you?”
As Shroder had arrived late, he would have missed out Jiang Fei's introduction.
”Jiang Fei,” Jiang Fei replied plainly.
”Your Excellency, Jiang Fei, please join me on the second floor if it is convenient for you.”
The red-haired Shroder gestured with his hands.
”Eh?” Jiang Fei looked at Han Tianyu, confused. This was the first time he experienced something like this, and he was not sure of what to do.
”Go ahead. Listen more and speak less!” Han Tianyu spoke in a hushed tone. Although he too was a martial artist, his level was not high enough to warrant an invitation from Shroder. Therefore, he could not accompany Jiang Fei.
”Alright!” Jiang Fei said with a nod as he followed Shroder into a cabin on the second floor.
”Your Excellency, Jiang Fei, please have a seat!” Shroder said pleasantly after they entered the cabin. He had dropped all pretense of professionalism.
”Alright! Mister Shroder, I wonder, why you have brought me here?” Jiang Fei asked as soon as he sat down.
”Uhm…”
Shroder was dumbfounded by the first thing Jiang Fei said. He had invited Jiang Fei into the cabin to personally keep him company. After all, it would be disrespectful to leave a Metahuman amongst a bunch of common human beings. Therefore, he had personally taken the time to attend to Jiang Fei. He had not thought of the possibility that Jiang Fei did not even consider himself to be a Metahuman.
