"Ave Maria, gratia plena..."
A man with a full head of grey hair sat quietly, taking a drag of the blunt between his fingers as the sonorous voice of the choir sang in the background. His eyes were closed as he fiddled absentmindedly with a string of jade beads in his other hand.
The man was Song Yue, the head of the Song family, a behemoth both in the corporate world and the underworld of Country C. Despite being in his late seventies, Song Yue was still very much feared, and his name brought terror to whoever heard it.
Amidst the voices in the background, his ears picked up the faint steps before him. His eyes snapped open, and before him stood a huge, bulky man with a large scar crisscrossing his face. The man bowed.
"Master... The young master has refused to come back."
