"The question is, you're just a small councilman, how do you know all of this when we don't?"

"KILL HIM!"

Seconds passed after yelling his intentions, no one among their bodyguards…actually moved a muscle, they just looked at each other and everyone revealed bitter smiles on their faces.
"What are you bastards doing!? How dare you ignore my orders?! Kill him, NOW!"
They know that they are now stuck between a rock and a hard place, and both options lead to a dead end.
Though still, they chose to follow orders as they slowly pointed their guns at Monk.
At least if they die here, their families would at least be spared from the retribution of the families of their former employers, and the other option can't even compare to the former since it would instead compromise the safety of their families if they disobeyed orders.
