Chapter 85: A Generous Customer
"Everyone who comes here has a task for me." The man sitting inside was playing with a glass of wine in his hands while looking at the sky from the balcony. His eyes seem lost. He did not turn to look at Nora when she entered the room. As if her presence was not important.
Nora took out the bundle of cash she had collected so far and placed it on the table.
"I want you to create an issue against the Stone family. Strong enough that they could not save themself." The man paused slightly but he kept playing with the glass in his hands.
"The cost will be.."
"I have already placed the cost on the table. It is up to your standards." that finally stopped the man. He turned and looked at the table. Three neat bundles of notes were waiting for him here. With a wry smile he was about to refuse when he noticed a large chocolate among them and a frown appeared on his lips.
"It is just for your sweet tooth." she whispered when he walked toward the table and picked up the chocolate first.
"Who are you?" Only now did he notice that the customer was too young. "Are you even eligible to be in the bar or hiring me?" Nora’s muscles tightened. That was one of the reasons she had covered her face.
"I am twenty. And talking about rules and laws did not suit you. I will wait for the task to be done. And I have hired someone else to help you too." she did not wait for him to continue or confirm the promise. With his behavior, she knew that he would complete the task as long as he had taken the money.
But she had only walked a few steps when the man caught up to her and held her by her elbow. Nora froze. She knew the consequences of coming here in advance. But she still wanted to take the risk. She had self harmed too many times but each time the news was stopped from circulation. She did not know how they would lose their image.
