Chapter 40: Dax's Curiosity

After a few minutes, Bella left the restaurant. A man in a black hat looked around him worriedly before entering a black van parked behind the Star Hotel. He handed a black bag containing used cutlery and glasses from one of their restaurant guests to a man beside him.

"This is your fee," The man handed a thick brown envelope to the man in the black hat.

"Sir, I won't be in trouble, right?" asked the man in the black hat after putting the envelope in his jacket pocket.

"Man, everything will be fine. No need to worry!"

The man in the black hat breathed a sigh of relief. This was actually an easy task for him. However, if his superiors found out what he was doing, they would fire him. But he also couldn't refuse someone who offered him $10k. He needed money to pay his mother's hospital bills.

"Okay, sir. Then, I'll excuse myself now..." The man in the black hat bowed his head slightly before getting out of the van.
