Realizing the discussion had taken a dangerous turn, someone quickly put a finger to their lips, signaling everyone to be silent with a gesture. "Keep your voices down, if Mr. Cooper hears us, we'll all be in trouble!"
That's when the others realized they had spoken words they shouldn't have.
Luca Curtis was the heir to the Scooper Corporation in Alabama, and the Scooper Corporation was the hegemonic company in the state, truly a towering presence.
If their words were overheard, they would really be done for.
"Hey..."
"Mr. Cooper always dines at five-star hotels, why would he ever come to this little tavern?"
"I think you are all just too timid!"
A woman quickly spoke up, "If you ask me, even Mr. Cooper, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, lost to that fox demon, then who can be her match?"
Under her words, the topic was quickly reopened.
Indeed!
If even Luca Curtis had lost, what was the purpose of that woman setting up a dueling platform?
