Chapter 100

Sometime earlier, inside the manor of the Maple Leaf Village.

Crick was wearing a fake smile. He pretended to be calm, chatting with the suitors to buy time.

The suitors were noisy. Most of them wanted Miss Anna to come out and meet with everyone. There was no courtesy in their words. In their view, Crick Keane was already a dead tiger, so they didn't need to be afraid of him. Keane Hill was a dish on the menu. They were holding knives and forks in their hands, just waiting for the feast.

Crick tried to hold back the anger in his heart so that he would not sneer. He tried to steer clear of certain topics when chatting with them. If he couldn't stall them off anymore, he would cough violently until blood came out of his mouth.

Of course, those people would not be polite to him even if he coughed up blood. However, he coughed so violently that he couldn't talk, so they could do nothing about that.
