“What?” “All the money?” “You’ve got to be kidding,” someone whispered behind them.

The leader glanced at his dazed brother again, who was still holding his jaw and blinking like he had forgotten what day it was.

John’s hand slowly curled into a fist.

Abuchi himself looked stunned for a second before he stepped forward, jaw tightening.

Like a river that looked still but could drown ships.
