Touch of Flame-Chapter 161 Well done, darling

Lord Dragenski. The mysterious businessman. Since Ares discovered the man’s craftmanship, he had only been buying ships and furniture from him. His ships could sail through the strongest of storms and survive the brutalities of seas and oceans. He truly admired his work.

“Is there anything we didn’t pay?” Ares asked.

“No. I bought three more ships like you told me. They are delivered but he wants payment in another form.”

“How many?”

“Three.”

Ares reloaded his pistols and put them in their sheets under his jacket. “Make the ship sail!” He ordered.

“What are you doing?” One of them asked calmly.

Ares took a moment to study them. They had weapons hidden discretely in few places.

“You want weapons as payment?” Ares asked. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“Yes.”

“For what?”
