232 A Garden of Roses

Jin Longwen knitted his eyebrows in displeasure. "How noisy. Gag him."

Chief Jin Ha took a cloth from the table and folded it roughly before he went to stand at Dante's back. He complied to Jin Longwen's order despite the young man's struggle. Jin Ha struck his spine in order to make him submit. So, Dante involuntarily succumbed to the intense pain. He quietened down, making it easier for Jin Ha to gag him.

Alberto's trusted bodyguard, Piero, who was assigned to accompany Dante on this trip glared menacingly at Jin Longwen. His chest was huffing and puffing, filled with utter indignation. Not only had he failed to protect the young master, he couldn't do anything against this overbearing man.

"Why are you going to this extent for a few careless remarks?" Piero asked. He couldn't help but think that this was all planned beforehand to trap them as soon as they arrived. There was no negotiation on the table right from the start.
