Little Sweetie “…” Ekene “..!” John “.!!” Karen “!!!” Abuchi “..?” The crowd “???” People gasped.

“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.

Karen scoffed aloud.

Ekene narrowed his eyes.

John’s hand slowly curled into a fist.

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

“Didn’t you just say your brother was the one who caused the problem?” he said firmly, his voice low but steady, carrying an edge that made some of the younger ruffians flinch.

“You said he was all bark, no bite.

“I meant what I said,” he replied with a shrug.

“My apology was sincere…

but my loyalty to my brother is also firm.

I have to give him some satisfaction, one way or another.” His voice was calm, but there was something dangerous underneath it.

Like a river that looked still but could drown ships.
