"Whew, thank goodness. I'm so damn lucky." Once he escaped death's door, Little North's face filled with relief. "Boss, Big Brother Thunder, thank goodness you came early. This damn sissy said he wanted to sew my mouth shut," he said to the people beside him.
"How on earth did you provoke him, kid?"
There was an unconcerned smile on Thunderous Battle's face. He sliced the threads binding Little North's limbs with swift and clean actions. It made the mysterious man across him frown.
"Don't phrase your words like that, Big Brother Thunder. I swear on my honor that I just came over to take a look, and this sissy said he wanted to kill me to keep the secret. Heh, so I cursed him a little, and he went all gungho about wanting to give me capital punishment! Who does he think he is?!"
Little North raised his voice to talk about how greatly he was wronged while looking innocent and aggrieved.
