章 223: Ruffled Feathers (1)

But it seemed, old age had gotten him good this time, making him forget that even if his family heir had grown up splendidly, with a temperament honed by the long years in the military, Gio was still someone who etched in his mind to always repay a misgiving or wrongdoings done to him at least seven-folds.
