Semua Bab The Tenth Monarch: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Inside the room, negotiations were being carried out, with each man harboring their own private agenda.A wave of grim unease washed over Wolfie and his companions outside the negotiation room, their faces etched with discontent."Woflie, Boss has never treated us like this! That guy you brought back… what the hell is he doing, making a fool of us and turning Boss against us? It's completely unacceptable!"Everyone present expressed their utter dissatisfaction.Earlier, Wolfie had returned furious, saying that he'd been humiliated, and before they even stepped into the estate, a casual remark from Ted led to them slapping themselves a hundred times. Literally and metaphorically, it was a giant slap to their faces.If they could stomach this humiliation, they wouldn't be men who made a living in the underworld.However, despite their discontent, Wolfie and the others held back. Since Ted was Mr. Zarkonnen's guest, they didn't dare take matters into their own hands. According to Wo

Three vehicles and a security team of over ten personnel escorted Ted York as he left.Once again, Wolfie found himself in the front passenger seat, his frustration almost palpable.He deeply regretted offending Ted back in Melville. His mission was supposed to be over, yet he was dragged into serving the man as a form of retaliation.But Wolfie wasn’t stupid. He knew that picking a fight with Ted at this moment would bring him no benefit.The man had already gained Mr. Zarkonnen’s trust. Whether that trust was genuine or not didn’t matter—out of respect for Mr. Zarkonnen, no one could say anything against it."Mr. York, Mr. Zarkonnen has arranged a residence for you near the city center. Rest assured, it's very quiet and peaceful even though it's in a bustling area, so you won't be disturbed."Of course, if you're not satisfied, we can arrange a different place for you, including the chefs, security guards, and other staff who will be serving you."Sitting in the back seat, Ted

The identity of the man was clear—only one man in all of Easton dared go by the name of Viper Scorch, after all, one of the Three Giants of the underworld.When Yuvan saw Viper, he wore an earnest expression. Clearly, he treated Viper as one of his own, an elder whom he relatively respected.Back in the day, Yuvan was even more arrogant than he already was, so he made plenty of enemies, almost losing his life several times. Viper was the one who risked his life, saving the younger man, thus it was understandable that their bond was stronger than most.Meanwhile, Viper held Yuvan in high regard as well. If not, no matter how much he owed Adam for saving his life, he wouldn't have shown such favor to just any member of the Whites. He was, after all, one of the most feared figures in Easton's underworld. He wasn't normally so friendly towards anyone.Yuvan smiled. "I just completed some business today, and the rest can be handled by the people back at the manor. Besides, there are too

At that moment, Yuvan had yet to recognize Ted, since they'd only met briefly once. It had been a while, too, so it was understandable.However, whether he recognized the newcomer didn't matter—both he and Viper had already made their judgment. In all of Easton, everyone knew that Wolfie was Mr. Zarkonnen's most trusted and favored subordinate.Usually, Mr. Zarkonnen wouldn't dispatch Wolfie unless it was a matter of high importance, much less let the young man escort another person around. From that alone, it was easy to see that the newcomer was no ordinary person.Viper smiled coldly and said, "We don't know who this person is yet, but yeah, if Wolfie is personally accompanying him, he must be a big shot. Heh, with all these rumors about someone trying to unify Easton's underworld, and the old man's eightieth birthday coming up, I wouldn't be surprised if there's something more sinister at play here."It wasn't that Viper was overthinking things, but the idea of a complete takeo

Having the goodwill of Yuvan and Viper alone would render Ted untouchable in the entirety of Easton. With their protection, anyone would have to think twice before crossing him.Ted looked at the two men in front of him and smiled, shaking his head. "Don't worry about it. It wasn't much effort, and I personally respect Mr. White too, so there's no need to keep talking about gratitude. Let's keep things natural, shall we?"Viper laughed boisterously. "You're a straightforward man, Mr. York! Alright, since you put it that way, I won't say more. But remember my words. If you don't mind, shall we be friends?"Yuvan smiled and nodded as well. "Viper might be blunt, but he never goes back on his word. Mr. York, would you be willing to become friends with us?"Their goodwill was, of course, due to Ted saving Adam's life. But even beyond that, a doctor of his caliber was always worth befriending.Ted nodded with a smile. "Of course, It would be an honor to befriend you, Young Master White
