Chapter 308 - Solved 9

Fest 9

They spoke occasionally. Their conversation was limited and sober. One might take them peaceful. Seeing that time passed without any progress. Albert picked the snack and threw at the man across the table.

He wanted to know whether they were peaceful on purpose or genuinely harmless. There was another table where he could test the staff members.

The staff looked up at him. His eyes burning with furry. "What did you do right now? Are you out of your mind?" The staff picked the snack in front of him and threw back at Albert.

"I did it on purpose to see your reaction. Let me show you my peace as well." Albert laughed to his heart continent. He picked the tea cup and ruined the dress of the staff sitting beside.

His reaction was no different. The staff fumed with anger. He ruffled his clothes. "Why are you seeking trouble?" He yelled at Albert ready to pounce on his face. Both staff members immediately got aggressive.

"Seeking trouble is always my way. You will find it more troublesome if I don't create trouble." Albert held the hands of the staff member away from his face. Not just the first, this second one was similar.

Now it was turn to test the patience of the third staff. Albert pushed the second staff on to third and the nearest. The third one fell on the floor along with the chair. He fumed with anger and leapt at the second staff.

"Shut off, are you blind? This man is trying to create some scene here. Go and tear him apart." The second staff tried to get rid the third. He was sandwiched between two.

The third staff sneered, "Shut up you rascal. You had been looking for a chance to annoy me. That man has nothing to do with it." He was ready to settle grudge with this staff member later see who was the newbie.

Albert saw them busy boxing with each other. In the meantime first staff was coming to punch Albert. He has yet to equal his score with him. Albert turned the table cloth toward the fourth and fifth staff. They were indifferent earlier. He decided not to leave anyone pretending peace.

They also stood up. The sixth and seventh staff members were at his left side. Albert stood up as well and kicked the sixth. He was on rampage mood to solve the suspect problem.

It became fish market nevertheless the other tables and the staff members did not bat an eye on them. No one came to solve their issue. The sixth was ready to grab Albert when the first staff member also reached at his head from the opposite side.

"Why did you pick quarrel with me?" The first was also ready to punch. Albert slipped on the floor. Both landed punches on each other. This multiplied the mess. Now everyone was engaged in mannerless fight. Albert looked at them. Only the seventh staff member was not taking part and avoiding their punches.

He seemed not pretending peace but in genuine. Albert could not agree without troubling and testing. He wanted to test it and then agree.

He bent picking pastry, it was thrown on the ground during first attempt. Albert reached near him and rubbed on his face suddenly. The seventh staff member turned his head back. Albert hurriedly retracted his hands after ruining the clean face.

"I did it on purpose." He repeated his words to make him angry. Surprisingly the staff did not attack him. "Come on show your bad side." Albert urged him.

The seventh staff picked the chair placed on the floor and sat again, "I don't want to show my bad side." he murmured under his breath. Albert could not hear.

He was speechless why this staff was not attacking. The others leapt at Albert one by one after seeing that he was standing dazed.

Albert fell with the kick. He was laughing again. It was not enough to make some theory. The seventh staff did not attack yet all other attacking. He cannot say that six of them were suspect. It was out of question. In the single hall six staff members cannot be suspect or else the hall would not need haunted object to face destruction. These thoughts ran in his head.

He did not want to immediately kill the suspect thinking that he might be mistaken. The suspect could be hiding among others. There was possibility.

The seventh staff went to adjust the table again and the chairs. He knew that soon these angry staff members would get tired of fight and sit again.

Albert avoided another kick. He was noting down seventh staff. The oddity was still there. When others saw that they were exhausted, they found their chairs and sat. They huffed as if they battled with blood enemies.

Albert also sat on the empty chair. He was alert in case they wanted to ambush. They resumed their manners although their clothes no more looked decent.

Albert wanted to laugh at what he did earlier. It was not his method in any real battle. He never punched recklessly much less to throw snacks and tea at the faces of others.

However he was enjoying this for now. The crook bone staff perhaps took promise not to reveal their true selves.

He was bent to reveal the suspect then kill him but it would not be easier. The staff from the sculpture hall has the rumored patience and strange attitude. They act like the mud-made sculpture sometimes.

One might get confused at their behavior most times nonetheless Albert has the hundred fold patience to play around them. He was familiar with the crook bones and how to handle them.

His experience of the years would not go waste today. Albert once again noticed their expressions. One of them ordered for the tea and the snacks. They got hungry after kicking and punching.

Albert nodded. It was getting normal again.

The sky is dark
