Chapter 141
The sounds of billiard balls hitting against one another echoed from the spec force captain’s office in the Empire State Building. Everyone knew Douglas Montgomery was a billiards addict, so having a billiard table in his office was nothing unusual.
“Whoa, you’re not half bad,” Douglas said as he chalked his cue stick, playing four-bar billiards with Seong-Hwi; first to five hundred points won. “Are you sure you’ve never played billiards?”
“Yeah. I’ve never had anyone to play with, in the first place,” Seong-Hwi replied.
“Wow… What a miserable life.”
“People don’t usually say that just because they haven’t played billiards, do they?”
Seong-Hwi smirked as he stared at Douglas, a middle-aged white man chewing gum, with a delinquent-like smile, where one couldn’t tell whether he was genuinely smiling or mocking. His pale blond hair and green eyes added to his delinquent appearance.
Douglas Montgomery is a righteous man, Seong-Hwi said inwardly.
Unlike his delinquent appearance, Seong-Hwi respected Douglas because he knew his nature. He had not joined a clan because he believed that one must not be biased if one were to be the captain of the special cases task force.
Hence, he always fulfilled his duties without walking on eggshells and did his best to help the weak and innocent. It was unfortunate that such behavior got him on the wrong side of powerful people, and he would be found as a corpse in a filthy alley in a few years.
