Ahern was taken aback by Basil Jaak's question and then retorted loudly, "Humph, you think by saying that I would fall for your trick? If you weren't sent by Alger, why would you call him Mr. Alger? As far as I know, it's the people from the Dragon Gang who call him that."
"Haha!" Upon hearing Ahern's words, Basil Jaak couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?" Ahern was usually quite imposing, but now it seemed that Basil Jaak's ridicule had turned him into a flushed old man, his eyes not as stern as before.
Basil Jaak put away his smile and said seriously, "I am laughing at your self-conceit!"
"Ahern, you are clever, but you are over-smart, which is why despite being the second in command of the Dragon Gang, you are still being played by Alger, a rising star, and ended up hiding in detention." Basil Jaak retorted.
