Chapter 156: Thugs [2]
"Coco Hughes!" The guards by the gate greated her as she approached them.
"Good afternoon." Coco greeted them back politely with a smile, "I’m here for the men whom I bought here last time. Are they still here? I have some unfinished business with them that I have been postponing because I was busy."
At her words, the guards demeanor drastically changed.
The guards’ smiles vanished from their faces and they flinched in their spot, discreetly sharing a glance towards each other to which Coco noticed immediately, making her raise an eyebrow at them and tilt her head to the side.
"Is something the matter?" Coco asked, keeping the friendly smile on her face.
One of the guards cleared his throat and turned his attention back to Coco, his face pale and he was sweating profusely as he looked at her.
"We.. We haven’t freed them yet." He stammered out and cast his gaze to the ground, "But they were hard to contain inside the cells because.. Well, they are a group of hunters that just got back from the main city."
Coco’s eyebrows shot up to her hairline at the words she heard, causing for her shoulders to shake slightly.
"They just got back from the main city?" Coco asked and smiled softly towards them, "Yet, they had the guts to do those things to my husbands? Is that the behavior of hunters that had a taste of city life?"
