Bentley said at once, "Should we just leave now? It doesn't feel very safe for us to remain here."
"Don't worry. I'm going to take care of them. You have nothing to be scared of," said Wilbur.
Nonetheless, Xavi and Bentley still looked extremely worried.
Wilbur chuckled. "Don't be so scared. The second you get this over with, you'll be going back to a promotion."
"I'm afraid I won't live to see that day," Bentley said in terror.
Skyler smiled. "What the hell are you afraid of? You two work for Cape, don't you? Do you think we wouldn't be able to take on a few hooligans?"
"You're right, and we wouldn't be scared if we were in Seechertown. However, we're in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by mountains. We might just die and not even know it," said Xavi.
Wilbur said in a deep voice, "Relax. Someone's coming to get us tomorrow, and no one here is getting away."
Neither Xavi nor Bentley knew just how powerful Wilbur actually was, but Faye had called them saying that Wilbur was there to specifically take care of this and all they had to do was listen to him.
Both men were terrified, but they knew it was not their place to say more.
After finishing their meal, Xavi and Bentley fled into their rooms without wasting another second.
Wilbur and Skyler chatted among themselves in their room every now and then, all the way until it was past ten at night.
The town was completely quiet then, with most of its residents having gone to sleep.
Just then, over ten cars pulled up in front of the inn. Around 40 people emerged from the cars, and all of them were armed with sticks and batons as they barged into the inn.
The innkeeper and the bellboy were scared out of their wits, hiding themselves at once.
The group of assailants completely destroyed the reception desk before heading toward Wilbur's room.
Wilbur looked over at Skyler. "Here's your chance to shine. Get them good."
"I was just waiting for you to say that, Boss! I've wanted to take these bastards down for a while myself."
Skyler got up and walked out of the room after that. He lit a cigarette, leaning against the wall as he smoked it.
