Abner Lane was so angry that he wanted to strike through the air with his sword, "You rebellious rascal! Are you now meddling with my personal affairs? Do you have a death wish? And when have I ever craved anything?"
Actually, Master Lane was already feeling a bit guilty...
As expected, Owen Bertram said, "Lord Liam has extorted a great sum from me!"
He embellished the "transaction" he had with Nick Liam, but it only resulted in Abner Lane breaking into hearty laughter, "Hahaha..."
How refreshing!
We couldn't handle you, so now someone else can!
Hurts, doesn't it, with your heart bleeding out? It serves you right!
"Master..." Owen Bertram said in a low voice, "I am your subordinate, but you are obviously gloating over my misfortune, which is not very honorable."
