“How was last night?" Arabella’s voice had barely faded when she noticed Bard's left hand wrapped in
a bandage.
"Just a scratch, nothing serious. Your aunt's safe return is worth far more than this. I'd take a hundred
more wounds for that."
Bard summarized the previous night's skirmish with a single sentence, “Mafia Rock is history now."
Arabella understood, "Is my aunt okay? Should I go check on her?"
"She's fine,’ Bard's eyes softened as he spoke of his wife. "Frank caught some shady characters
lurking nearby.
They're locked up now. I'm going to check it out. If they're part of Alexander's remnants, I won't let them
off easy.
“I'm coming with you."
Arabella followed Bard, and from a distance, she saw Frank standing guard at the basement door.
Upon seeing Bard and Arabella, Frank greeted them with respect.
"Sir, Ms. Bella, these are the same guys who clashed with us over the diner last time. They were the
ones who threatened us, saying that even the almighty wouldn't stand in their boss's way. They said if
their boss was pleased, she might spare us ‘mutts’ our lives, but if not, we'd be the ones without a
place to rest in peace."
Bard recalled the incident.
Last time Frank had asked who their boss was, and the reply was cheeky.
At that moment, one of the captives woke up. Hearing Bard's order for interrogation, the man blurted
out, “Where is this? Do you think this shabby room can hold me? Wait until I get out of here and show
you."
That familiar voice and tone made Arabella push through the crowd for a better look. It was Jack!
Jack was stunned to see her, "Boss, you came to rescue me so soon! I knew you wouldn't abandon
me."
Bard, Frank, and Gordon exchanged bewildered glances. If they weren't mistaken, this quy just called
Arabella "boss"?
What was going on?
Feeling her husband's gaze, Arabella smiled and interjected, “Friendly fire."
“You, you, you're saying I'm on the same side as this guy?" Jack was in disbelief.
Frank was equally surprised. The person who had beaten him and his subordinates black and blue last
time was one of Ms. Bella's subordinates.
“Bella, what other secrets are you keeping? What else don't I know?" Bard asked with a teasing smile.
Jack was shocked. It was like a family feud, but could it be that the silver-masked man was Bard's
subordinate?
Talk about a misunderstanding.
Eventually, Jack and his crew were released, and Arabella revealed her "Mr. Bryant" identity to Bard.
"You're Mr. Bryant?” Bard was astounded.
No wonder he found the fighting style of the girl he saw previously so familiar. It was the same person!
He never thought Mr. Bryant to be a girl. After all, the last time he saw Mr. Bryant was Mr. Bryant
dressed in a black suit like a man.
“Uncle Bard, my boss has had a tough life. She became our leader to protect us, to keep us from being
pushed around. Don't think badly of her because of her identity. She's done a lot of good in her life."
Jack affectionately called Bard ‘uncle’ and didn't forget to add, "Uncle Bard, we're hungry."
“You sure make yourself at home,’ Arabella teased.
“Ain't your home ours too?" Jack chuckled.
Bard laughed heartily, "I'll have the kitchen whip up something. Frank didn't go easy on you, did he? No
serious injuries, I hope."
