Leon nodded with approval and patted the guy's shoulder. "Good job. Then we shall wait for them to come out. You two have done well this time. Go back and claim your reward from the butler. Tell him I'm giving 300,000 dollars to each of you."
Their eyes lit up. They cupped their hands. "Thank you, mayor."
Leon smiled. "You two can leave now. I'm giving you the rest of the day off. I don't need you here anymore."
"Yes, sir!" The two men left happily to go back to claim their money.
"What do you think of my men, Evelyn? They are very efficient, aren't they? I told them to search around the city. If the one who killed your father is still in the city, my men would find him very quickly."
Leon took out his cigar and started smoking. His tone sounded very pleased. Evelyn's tone was very calm but her eyes betrayed her real emotion. "Let them enjoy. It might be the last time they ever shop."
Leon sneered coldly. "They have no idea that someone was stalking them so they are surely going to exit from this door. And I think this is the only exit. We just need to wait here."
There was something the Great Elder did not understand. "Mister Leon, do you really need all of us to help you kill this one guy? I don't think the woman who's accompanying him has any attainment. Are you being too cautious?"
The Second Elder agreed. "That's what I think too. As a level eight warrior king, I think I can fight him by myself. There's really no reason to call so many people here. Look at us, there are now three level eight warrior kings and three level seven warrior kings. There's no chance the guy is going to win the fight with us unless he's a level nine warrior king. As I said, it's pointless asking all of us to come."
