LIFE AFTER PRISON - Season 3 Episode 3

The old man was overjoyed when he received affirmation from Claude “Indeed, sir It’ll be too late for us to fight back if we wait until we get struck down by the other side. It’s important for us to be prepared. Larry is a vengeful person, after all, and he’s incredibly ambitious too. After all, he would never have taken over Cedar Gang if he was not that kind of character.”

Claude still felt that his subordinates’ words inade sense, so after giving it some more thought, he said, “We must prepare ourselves, that’s for sure. but we must also be aware that Draco Hall isn’t to be messed with. Tell those in the lower ranks to keep a low profile these couple of days and avoid provoking Draco Hall. We don’t want to give them a chance to trouble us!*

Having said that, Claude paused for a moment before continuing, “As for the rest, I’ll pay a visit to Brookbourn Mansion in a couple of days to try and get a sense of their views on this! We’ll discuss further action once we have their thoughts.”

“Wise decision, sir!” The old man immediately cupped his hands and flattered Claude,

“Hugo, please inform our subordinates not to provoke Draco Hall during this period. Do you hear me?” Claude said after turning to the middle-aged man standing beside him.

Hugo was the Emerald Cloud Gang’s protector. He was a very able man whom Claude valued. More importantly, Hugo was a reliable person, and he had helped the Emerald Cloud Gang make money in the past few years.

“Not to worry, sir!” Hugo clasped his hands and walked out to give his men a call. The instructions he gave everyone were the same-keep a low profile and avoid provoking Draco Hall.

However, he had only just completed several calls when someone called him instead. When he saw that his subordinate Hugh was calling him, Hugo answered the phone with a smile and asked, “What’s up, Little H?”

Since both their names were almost similar to each other and they had a good relationship, Hugo often addressed Hugh as ‘Little H’ while the rest of the Emerald Cloud Gang’s members called Hugo ‘Big H’.

Both Hugh and Hugo had such a good relationship that they might as well be sworn brothers. With Hugo’s backing, Hugh tended to be rather bold outside of the gang and did countless unsavory acts such as lending money and charging high interest rates. When it came to young women who could not pay off their debts, Hugh always found a way to get them to sleep with him in exchange for waiving their debt.

Hugo generally did not care much about what Hugh did outside of the gang. After all, every man was a sucker for beautiful women, and he could not be bothered to keep tabs on what Hugh did, as long as Hugh did not kill anyone and continued to earn more money for the gang.

“Hic, hic. Big H, you need to get justice for me!” Hugh immediately wailed to Hugo.

“What’s happened?” Hugo frowned immediately. He was well aware that Hugh was a strong seven – foot-tall man who would never cry in front of him unless something gravely wrong had been done.

“One of our guys tried to force themselves on this woman named Queenie yesterday, and her

cousin showed up and beat the crap out of them! I planned on teaching her a lesson for pissing us off when she came to pay back her debt today, but her cousin showed up out of the blue again. and beat up our guys! Worse still, I wasn’t his opponent, and he even… the doctor said I’m technically useless as a man from now on!” Hugh gritted his teeth as he lay on the hospital bed and felt a burning hatred in his heart.

When Hugo heard that, he clenched his fist and said, “Her name was Queenie, was it? What’s her

cousin’s name?”

“Severin! It’s Severin!”

“When they left, he even asked us to pay forty-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars for inflicting mental distress on his cousin. We were out of options at the time. I could only say yes to his demands or else he’ll kill me!” Hugh immediately said.
