Chapter 204: Blood & Misery

"Mr. Lombardi, which family do you come from?" Meryl asked with bright eyes. After all, from the way that Bryan had dressed up, it was very evident that he hailed from an affluent background.

"I'm a nobody," Bryan replied as he cut into his steak and put a small piece in his mouth.

"Eh?" Meryl was confused, "I don't understand. Are you not from Nadir?"

Bryan shook his head, "Damascus."

"Oh, I see." Meryl smiled, "If you don't mind my asking, what brings you to Nadir?"

Bryan paused in his actions. After a few moments, he replied stoically, "To settle some debts."

"I-I see.." For some reason, when Bryan said those words, Meryl felt her heart palpitate. She felt as if she was sitting in front of an injured animal that was at its most dangerous.

After the short talk between the duo, Meryl tactfully didn't ask anything else. She didn't wish to pry into Bryan's private matters after all. Meanwhile, Dillon was eyeing Benny as if he was looking at a treasure.
