“I have, but I didn’t go there to look for trouble. I had other intentions. It was just a nice coincidence that I was able to learn about their operations.”
“A nice coincidence, indeed,” Clive echoed, clapping his hands together.
“You should accompany Franklyn when he goes over to negotiate.”
“I advise you not to provoke them in any way,” Hannah cautioned, knowing full well that Bryson was the head of Homecoming.
“You can’t afford to offend their big boss.”
Clive’s eyes widened with curiosity.
“And who might this boss be?
Remember those people from Enchantment Casino? Franklyn didn’t even fear them when he went to Muvrand and expand our business!”
“Just do as I say and keep a low profile.” Hannah didn’t want to reveal that the person in question was none other than Bryson. She stood up and added, “I am aware that Franklyn’s business has been doing well these past few years. I also know that apart from you, his two other aides are getting restless. You are a smart man, Clive.
You would do well to remind him that I have certain limits. I really hate it when people overstep. I know what you’ve done, too. If someone is planning to test me, you should think twice before taking any action.”

“You can’t make any trouble for Homecoming. Ever.”
Clive nodded.
“Yes, yes, message received, loud and clear!”

As soon as Hannah left, a man in his early thirties emerged from a small alcove at the back of the room.
“Hey, Franklyn! Why didn’t you just come out and talk to her yourself?” Clive poured him a glass of wine as the other man sat down.
“It’s been a while since you last saw Miss Moore, right?”
“I don’t even know what I’d say if we crossed paths,” Franklyn replied honestly. He had a sincere air about him, a quality that belied his position as the boss of an underground casino.
He glanced in the direction that Hannah had left.
“Besides, she probably knew that I was here, since she said all those things.”
“Yeah, speaking of that…” Clive picked up his glass and leaned back in his seat with a frown.
