Even someone with Robson's self-control struggled to maintain his composure as he listened to Baron Kane.
Too much time had already been wasted. Robson had no desire to continue bickering with this crowd and decided to cut to the chase.
"If I recall correctly, you're Kane?" Robson asked, looking at him with a faint smile.
Kane gulped, feeling the pressure from the man before him intensify.
"I didn't expect to be someone the Lord Viscount would remember," Kane said with a forced laugh.
"So, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" Robson asked, smiling at Baron Kane. His meaning was clear: 'Spit it out.'
There was another loud gulp. Robson heard it clearly, wondering where Baron Kane was getting all this saliva.
"Well, Lord Viscount, we... we wanted to ask why you've been stationed at Bai Ma Ferry all this time?
Haha, we don't mean anything by it, of course. Just asking! If you've run into any trouble, we can all solve it together, right?
