Later that night, over at First Garden, Felix took one look at the bald man's broken leg and listened to his report. After that, he flared up in fury right away.
How dare they beat his men up in his territory? That was a blatant challenge to his power, and he was going to have to take these bastards down. How else was he going to continue holding his power up?
Amidst his fury, he woke Wyatt up.
Wyatt was fast asleep from his fun time with the ladies and was rather annoyed to be woken up.
"Do you know what time it is? Have you lost your mind?" he questioned irritably.
Felix lowered his head. "Sir, one of those two bastards is a really good fighter. My men were all beaten up."
"The guy was that good?" Wyatt found it to be rather unbelievable.
Felix said through gritted teeth, "Yes, he was. I didn't expect this either, else I would've brought more men with me."
Wyatt fell silent for a while before saying, "It looks like these guys came prepared too."
"What are we going to do, then?" Felix was getting a little anxious about his mine protection team now.
Wyatt said, "The hell are you so worried about? This is my territory. Did you think the bastard would be able to do anything?"
"You're absolutely right. Tell me what to do, then."
Wyatt fell silent once more for some time before saying, "Look for them tomorrow and bring more people over. Say they beat your men up, and you need to be compensated for your loss. If they still decide to get physical, we'll call the cops to arrest them."
"You're the best, sir," crooned Felix at once.
Wyatt scoffed. "I'd like to see if he has the nerve to beat up the police. We'll have them all arrested, and only let them out if they agree to leave town. They're not going to last."
"Yes, of course! I'll have my men go over there first thing tomorrow and provoke them to the point where they get physical, so I'll have some leverage," said Felix viciously.
Both men discussed a little more, and Wyatt went back to sleep.
He had been in charge of the place for over ten years and hardly thought that Wilbur and the rest would be able to do anything.
So what if they were from some big corporation? They were in Wyatt's territory, and he made the rules here.
