Skyler chuckled, and both of them headed to bed.
…
The next morning, Wilbur and Skyler woke up and went to get Xavi and Bentley to have breakfast together.
However, when they arrived at the cafe, the owner refused to sell anything to them.
Skyler was stunned. "Are you kidding me? We're paying customers, you know?"
"I know you've all got good hearts in you, but you messed with Felix Cohen. My cafe's going to be shut down right away if I sell you anything. I'm really sorry," said the owner of the cafe helplessly.
Wilbur shook his head. "Is he really that powerful?"
"You're not from around here, so you wouldn't know. Everyone in Twelven Town is terrified of him. He's taken the lives of several people in his mine, but he's perfectly fine. Who would dare to mess with him?"
Wilbur did not know what to say, nor did he have an appetite anymore.
Just then, the crazy woman just happened to wander over.
Wilbur got to work at once, emptying the nearest tray of sandwiches into a paper bag and giving it to the woman. "I'm going to avenge your husband and son real soon."
The woman merely took the bag, letting out a chuckle and digging in.
Wilbur turned to leave, heading back to his room to get some rest.
Xavi and Bentley were nothing but antsy in their rooms, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Skyler, on the other hand, fell fast asleep.
As noon approached, a ruckus broke out outside.
Wilbur got up to look out of the window.
There were over a hundred men this time, shouting and protesting in front of the inn for the ruthless attacker to surrender himself.
