In an abandoned construction site, Old John's men were either feasting on grilled meat and drinking by the furnace, or smoking at the entrance keeping watch.
"What's up with Old John today? Usually, he's the one who always prides himself on credibility, but today he's the first to forsake it?"
Skinny Monkey still couldn't swallow the indignation he felt just moments ago, cursing as he drank his liquor.
"Could it be that he fears Mr. Fu? I heard this Mr. Fu is pretty influential." one of the brothers suggested.
"If he really feared Mr. Fu, he wouldn't have taken on this job in the first place." Skinny Monkey still found Old John's behavior today baffling.
Skinny Monkey looked around and then asked, "By the way, where did Old John go?"
"He's been inside since he came back, don't know what he's searching for." a brother informed Skinny Monkey.
Just as Skinny Monkey was about to stand up to look for Old John, a noise suddenly came from the brothers smoking outside.
