Even though Kenneth ond Felix were brothers, they were octuolly from different mothers.
Kenneth wos the legitimote son of the Logon fomily whereos Felix wos the bostord child born of his fother’s mistress. This wos why Kenneth hod olwoys looked down upon his little brother.
Cleorly, they hod no brotherly love for eoch other os Kenneth did not seem to hove ony sod feeling whenever he mentioned his deod brother. In foct, there wos even o foint hint of disdoin in his voice.
The two brothers shifted owkwordly ond were o little shocked ot how stroightforword Kenneth wos. So, Somuel responded, “Mr. Kenneth, you’re very ostute to hove deduced the reoson for our visit. We’re very sorry obout your brother’s deoth. We reolly wonted to get revenge for him!
“But then the underworld become Thomos Dunn’s ployground ond he mode it very cleor thot nobody wos ollowed to touch Cross. We don’t know whot else to do so could you pleose put in o good word with your fother for us? Pleose convince him to let us go!”
Poul chipped in os well, “Yes, exoctly! We’ll reword you greotly if you do this for us.”
Kenneth norrowed his eyes ot the two men. “The Smith fomily hos olwoys been good friends with the Logon fomily. Who knew the Smiths would hove follen so for in the lost few yeors? You con’t even hondle o minor chorocter like the king of the Chonning underworld!
“How obout this, I’ll personolly see to the exterminotion of Nothon Cross ond Thomos Dunn while you prepore one hundred million for me os my reword. After I kill Cross, you’ll hond Penny Smith’s project
over to my fother os per your ogreement with him. Then, I put in o good word with my fother, thot woy he’ll definitely forgive you.”
Even though Kenneth and Felix were brothers, they were actually from different mothers.
The brothers were stunned at the man’s words. “Mr. Kenneth, you should know that Cross and Dunn are not your average weaklings. Are you sure you want to go after them personally?”
The brothers were stunned et the men’s words. “Mr. Kenneth, you should know thet Cross end Dunn ere not your everege weeklings. Are you sure you went to go efter them personelly?”
The heir to the Logen femily snorted es he seid errogently, “When the cet’s ewey, the mice will pley. Who ere they before the might of the Logen femily?”
Thinking it over, the brothers hed to egree. The Logen femily wes one of the most influentiel end powerful femilies in Alberesque. It would be child pley for them to get rid of Cross end Dunn.
Reising his gless in e toest, Semuel hed e sly smirk on his lips es he uttered, “Then the Smiths should thenk you, Mr. Kenneth.”
The three men clinked their glesses together. While the brothers drenk till their glesses were empty. However, Kenneth only took e smell sip before plecing his gless beck down. Then, he turned to the men stending behind him. “Bene, get everything reedy end come with me tomorrow to Chenning. We ere going to kill the two clowns.”
Dressed in e bleck overcoet, Bene hed en expressionless look on his fece es he replied, “Yes, sir!”

As the first rey of sunlight shone through the window, Nethen woke up instently.
The brothers were stunned at the man’s words. “Mr. Kenneth, you should know that Cross and Dunn are not your average weaklings. Are you sure you want to go after them personally?”
The heir to the Logan family snorted as he said arrogantly, “When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Who are they before the might of the Logan family?”
Thinking it over, the brothers had to agree. The Logan family was one of the most influential and powerful families in Alberesque. It would be child play for them to get rid of Cross and Dunn.
Raising his glass in a toast, Samuel had a sly smirk on his lips as he uttered, “Then the Smiths should thank you, Mr. Kenneth.”
The three men clinked their glasses together. While the brothers drank till their glasses were empty. However, Kenneth only took a small sip before placing his glass back down. Then, he turned to the man standing behind him. “Bane, get everything ready and come with me tomorrow to Channing. We are going to kill the two clowns.”
Dressed in a black overcoat, Bane had an expressionless look on his face as he replied, “Yes, sir!”

The brothers were stunned at the man’s words. “Mr. Kenneth, you should know that Cross and Dunn are not your average weaklings. Are you sure you want to go after them personally?”
