Chapter 90 Immense Wealth

• Ace POV
• "I can't be dissatisfied with you Wesley, you are doing a good job here, really," I said and he nodded. "So, what's it you said you found?" I asked. "Everyone is dismissed," Wesley said to the head staff in the room, and with a bow at us they all left. "That's it?" Wesley turned to me and asked. "What is what?" I asked confused. "You said you don't have any issues here but you haven't even stayed a day and you are already in a hurry," Wesley said making me frown, when he saw my expression he became nervous "I'm sorry Ace, I don't mean to be rude but it's true though" he added which means he wasn't really apologizing. "You are also the boss of the land of mercy just like you are the boss of Sin but why don't you give much focus to the land of mercy the length you do for Sin?" he asked again and it's really true. "Wesley look, it's not like I abandoned you over here or something but it's because I already have confidence in you, not because of anything but because you have proven it to me by your action itself. But Sin just took control over Rome and I need to make sure that everything is stable before I think of going anywhere" I said. "But when you left me here you didn't even wait for things to be as Sin is now but I still managed to complete it. If that assistant of yours over there is incompetent just change him already" He said scratching his head in frustration making me realise he had been bottling this up for a long.
• "Theon is still under training and he will soon be good enough," I said "And when will that be? When he grows old?" Wesley retorted "Wesley he is the same age as me, he is not by any means old," I said "Same thing," he said curtly. "Are you saying I'm old?" I asked and he grinned. I guess I have forgotten how Wesley talks to me as if we are best buddies ever since our teen, I thought behavior would change with time, and coupled with how good and smart he handles everything, how calm he is on the phone every time he calls me and how his people worships him, I never thought all those characters are still there only that he hides it waiting for his 'best buddy' to return "Wesley you give me a headache" I said and he chuckled "You caused it" he replied. "Damn, you are the only one that speaks to me without fearing about your life, no one else," I said, and can see the pride that is literally overflowing from him "That's because I'm your best buddy, if I don't tell you what you are no one will, besides, you can't do anything to me cause I'm too important," he said "Oh? sound so sure" I said "Of course, I'm sure" he replied and I shook my head in resignation.
