Ruthless, A Price That Can’t be Refused

Someone who had been rude to Karen last time had been beaten up that very night, and had been given a stern warning not to delay everyone's money-making.

What Karen held was related to many people's future income.

Whoever destroyed someone else's livelihood had to be beaten up.

After Luke entered, Foggy quickly wrapped things up with the old couple in front of him and had Karen send them out.

When they were alone in the room, Foggy asked, "Do you want something to drink?"

Luke said, "There's no need to be polite. How is it? Too busy?"

Foggy scratched his head. "It can't be helped. I've already hired two girls to do odd jobs in the name of community service, but that only reduces Karen's workload. No one can help with what Matt and I have to do."

Despite knowing the answer, Luke asked, "Where's Matt?"

Foggy said, "He said he didn't notice that he caught a cold last night. He's sleeping at home now, and won't be here until tomorrow."
