Devil's Luck

To my surprise, Mr. Castillo was also out of sight but I did see Annie and Benjie in a bad mood, a few feet away from their patriarch's spot.

Two of Annie's bodyguards seemed to be keeping Benjie from going someplace else but I doubt they could do shit if he actually willed it. The only reason I could think of was that Benjie listens to Annie's words but I was too far away to even hear what they were talking about.

With that said, the new challenger had just walked up on stage and Mr. Cuervo presented him to everybody.

[Ah~! Trying to take the easy route, eh? Before you begin, introduce yourself to everyone. At least with that, you'd have the assurance that someone might remember you.]

[Seriously, Mr. Cuervo?]

[You could die, you know that?]

[We'll see about that.]

The guy looked to be in his 30s and he had a buff figure displayed proudly because he was only wearing shorts and flip-flops. Furthermore, he only had tattoos on his triceps and on both sides of his neck.
