"Sir, Mr. Lacrosse has taken the bait."
The city mayor nodded his head while taking a sip of his wine. The news about his recovery was true, but there was also a falsification of information regarding that. He wasn't critically injured like what the reporters said. However, he wanted to catch the person who wanted his life.
He laid out his bait and even pretended not to know how Xhylan contacted his bodyguards.
"Go and greet him," he said and some of his men walked away to do as he says. "Wait! I don't want him to die soon. I would suggest that you avoid using guns against him. It would be fun to see him suffer in pain through close combat."
"Yes, sir."
Confidence is a must for a person to have, but overconfidence is never a good thing.
