After a pause, Herbert continued talking. "Please forgive me for being an idiot. I should have asked for the whole story before acting recklessly."
Since the Free Rebel Gang had accepted the situation, Severin did not want to make matters worst. He smiled. "I see. I also think that Gabriel should die too. I guess we are on the same page."
"Yes, yes! You're right," Shawn adhered.
Severin looked at them and said, "Even though he's the guardian of your gang, I shouldn't put the blame on you. You can never tell the good or bad of a person through his face. But he was your guardian, so I think it's better to bring his dead body back to you and let you settle it by yourself. It's the least I can do after killing him."
"You're right! Thank you for sending his dead body back!" The other elder who acted arrogantly quickly answered.
Severin smiled. "Alright. That's settled. I'm actually here because of another thing."
"There's another thing?" Shawn started to worry again.
Severin smiled. "Yuka told me she borrowed a loan from Free Rebel Gang. I'm here to clear the debt today. It's a responsibility to pay back whatever you have borrowed."
Shawn did not know how to react. He was feeling lucky Severin was not angry at them because Gabriel tried to rape Yuka. He did not feel right taking the money from Severin now.
Besides, he had no idea if Severin was testing them or not. What if Severin felt upset if Shawn accepted the money?
