Bennett's hands and feet felt cold. Even though he was in a warm room, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
He had risen from the slums, and his status in Chaos City's underworld depended on these gambling dens and brothels, but they were all shut down by Gray Temple overnight. Furthermore, all their people were arrested.
This obviously wasn't a surprise raid which they could get out of. With the relationships that he maintained with money, he used to be able to make everything look law-abiding before the raids.
However, this time was different. The gambling dens and brothels were all sealed, and the news only reached him by morning. If they were doing things to such an extent, it meant that this was a huge Gray Temple-led operation that targeted him specifically.
Bennett couldn't help thinking about Mag, the restaurant boss who threatened him casually in the teahouse that day.
