Capítulo 81: Chapter 81 A Smile on His Face

Frederick's senses on the other hand were overclocking as his eyes kept darting in the direction behind Bruce's back in order to determine who was accompanying him.

But to his pleasant surprise, no one came. Bruce seemed to be completely alone. Frederick felt like the lady luck was on his side this time. He was sure that even in his deteriorated state, he would be able to handle a cripple like Bruce with his eyes closed.

"What are you doing here all alone?" Frederick still wanted to make sure so he purposefully asked a leading question to goad Bruce into answering to his own detriment.

"Don't treat me like a kid please. Don't you think a rival family head deserves at least that much?" Bruce sneered at his question and answered his question with a rhetorical question. He had been playing these political games for so long, it would have reflected bad on his part if he failed to understand such a simple trick played by Frederick.
