Chapter 743 Another Member Secured

Alex and Kary took much longer than they would have liked to explain everything to Clark. But they couldn't blame him.

Up to a few months ago, anyone telling them the same thing would have been considered crazy. To him, that was most likely what they sounded like: crazy people.

"So. You good with all this?" Alex asked at the end of his explanation.

"..."

It took a moment for Clark to open his mouth to speak. He just looked at the images, the charts, and all the information on the TV before him, and his mind went blank.

"I... You... I have so many questions..."

Alex chuckled at his reaction.

"I get it. But they'll have to wait after the raid. For now, I want to know if you feel okay being there?"

Clark nodded his head absent-mindedly.

"How many people would be affected if we don't go?" he asked, wanting to know the gravity of the situation.

"I looked up the info on the town. There aren't many people up there. Maybe two hundred? But it's fishing season. And I can only assume there will be swarms of fishers for tourism. So I wouldn't expect under three hundred casualties on the first day." novelbin

Three hundred may not be a massive amount in the grander scheme of things. But that would only be on the first day.

How far could a pack of wolves the size of these travel in one day to reach their next hunting ground? How much time before they went further south and started attacking larger towns?

This wasn't something they could gloss over and let the police handle. Especially not if what David had told them earlier that day held true.

If guns barely tickled them, then what would stop them?

But Clark couldn't wrap his head around something.

But his mind was already some place else. Thoughts of fighting with his life on the line troubled his mind, the threat suddenly so very real.

'Let's hope the danger he claimed was overstated...' he thought, reaching the ground floor.

In the meantime, Alex was already calling someone else from his penthouse—the person he least wanted to deal with: Richard Bellemare.

Somehow, he felt like Richard would try to screw him out of his money. It was his modus operandi, as far as he was concerned.

His flip phone rang a few times before connecting to Alfred.

"Yes, Mr. Leduc?" Alfred's calm voice echoed from the other side of the call.

He sounded winded, like he had been running or doing some other kind of exercise.

"Hey, Alfred. I was hoping to talk to Richard. Can you put him on?"

"Sadly, Mr. Bellemare is out of town for a few days, which is why I took the call. What can Bellemare & Delphis do for you, Mr. Leduc?" Alfred asked, sounding super professional.

Alexander sighed.

'Why do I feel like Alfred will ask for even more than Richard? He knows his men better. Something tells me he noticed one of his men had awakened...'

"I need a set of arms for a mission. And I have particular requirements. Do you see where I'm going with this?" Alex asked.

From his end, Alex could almost hear the grin stretching on Alfred's leathery face.

"I certainly do, young man. But you had to know it would cost you. Are you ready to fork out?"

Sighing loudly again, Alex replied, "Of course. I wouldn't have called if I wasn't."

There wasn't much he could do anymore. With Richard, he was hoping to curry it as a favour.

But with Alfred? That chance flew out the window the moment he picked up the call.

Now, it would be a negotiation. And god knows how bad Alexander was at negotiating.
