Christopher's chaotic thoughts began to gain some semblance of order, "Your people are in my hands, I can kill them, or I can release them."
"Listen, Lance, I have no direct conflict with you."
"When Paul told me to hand the bar over to you, you followed through."
"You and I don't have to be enemies, and this is an internal matter of the Pasiletto Family, isn't it?"
"Stay out of the issues between Francisco and me, and I'll let your people go!"
He paused for a moment, not hearing a response from Lance, then added, "I've said my piece, think about it carefully."
"No need to think!", Lance answered him directly, "Have them return with Alberto and Fodis's corpses. I can make the call to let you go, but only once!"
Francisco couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Who's the crazy one here, you or me?"
"This world is so damn interesting, this is Sumuli Island!"
"It's not Golden Port City, not the Federation, what gives you the right to let me go once?"
