章節 117: Chapter 24 Talk
The captain opened the old-fashioned bar door without difficulty even though it was a full metal door. She glanced at the guests, knowing most of them are either mercenaries or criminals that live their lives on the line, but that didn't matter to her since her goal was different. She looked at the old woman with a cigar in her hand.
" Long time no see, Big Mama. Your bar is lively as ever. I will take the usual and no need for the boys."
She said, sitting down on the old wooden chair right in front of her despite her high status in the country. The guests glanced at her once and returned to the respective talking because she was one of the few regulars here that always come to find Big Mama if something had happened in the mines.
" Hoho, it isn't my girl- Josephine. Aren't you a little busy lately due to the mischief of a few children?"
Big Mama laughed, looking at her with a light look. Although she looked like she was in her middle ages, she was an old lady who lived through harsh times.
" Well, you know my objective. I didn't want to involve myself in matters of the area, but there are a few things that they shouldn't have done, namely invading an important institute like the laboratory."
She said while showing the image of the masked figures to her. Big Mama carefully took the image and knew she was in no position to bargain with her. This was already a conflict between the leaders of respective districts and areas, and involving herself in this whirlpool caused huge tides in the society. Therefore, she planned to make it simpler.
" You have my words. Their leader would be at your door five days later. However, there is a catch in our transaction. You must find who is supplying the liquid to the younglings."
Big Mama said, puffing smoke from her mouth as she handed the drink to her. Josephine emptied the glass in one gulp while noting down her words. She guessed Big Mama might request something from her since her movements are Big enough to cause ripples in this area, so she had already prepared adequate to face her request.
" I promise you that I will find them."
Josephine spoke, showing her determination to settle things down between the classes. Her gesture calmed down the heart of Big Mama who kept close eyes on the city. She thought they would be peaceful as long as Josephine lived in this city. Her great detective skills along with her sharp mind made things less complicated for her.
" I expect a good answer from you. By the way, this one is on the house. You don't mind, do you?"
Big Mama shouted, warning the others to be calm in this situation. Most of them hated the capital city's upper echelons and now they had a chance to clean one of the elders, but no one was willing to move under her gaze regardless of their vengeance or bad blood with them.
Big Mama was satisfied to watch her children behave well because they loved her and they were willing to close their eyes for her. Everyone owed their lives to her.
" Mama, rest assured I will take care of these dogs, haha."
The middle-aged man laughed, patting the shoulder of his neighbor. The guests burst out with laughter when they heard him, knowing he was the kindest one here despite his rough appearance.
" Aren't you tough one, Winston? Hahaha ha."
The big guy with giant muscles laughed, hitting him on his chest softly. They all lived here as a family and no one was willing to end this relationship for their benefit.
" Don't worry, sister. We will stop those ruthless brats in our area, but we can't promise you about the slum gangs. They are out of our reach."
Winston spoke, showing his rare serious side. His words instantly quieted down the bar, showing how serious the situation was in the slums. Unlike mines, they were completely on the edges and most of them live for wealth or drugs.
" Yes, he is right. You have to visit the slums."
Big Mama warned her, knowing the danger of that area. They said only the worst of the worst lived in the slums, hiding away from the sun to bloom in the darkness.
