“It was more than a fucking 'unpleasant altercation',” Wolf said. “Your boys back there jumped two of mine in our own territory. We don't take kindly to that kind of disrespect.”

“Nor should you,” the man said.

“Who the fuck are you anyway?” Wolf asked.

“Forgive me. My name is Tian Yu Mujin. I'm here to settle this dispute so that we don't have any more bloodshed between us. I would hope that is something that we can all agree on?” Tian Yu asked as he gazed up at Wolf.

Demir scrutinized the man and he knew a killer when he saw one. Tian Yu was not one to be underestimated and neither were any of the others. Demir knew the Lords had skilled fighters in their club, but the triad may just be on another level. If they were going to be going to war with these men and women, they were really going to have to be prepared. He looked at Wolf and he knew his man was calculating enough to see what he also saw. Once again, they were outnumbered and if things got ugly, someone may die.

Whatever play Wolf made, Demir would back him.

Wolf looked over the men, he knew that even though some were sitting, that didn't mean they weren't ready to act as soon as he made the wrong move. “Why did you attack us?”

“The exuberance of youth and all of the foolishness that goes along with it,” Tian Yu said.

Wolf scoffed. “Yeah, no shit. But I want to hear it from him.” He nodded his chin at Yufei.

Yufei sneered. “Because I felt like it.”

“So, you're a fucking idiot... good to know,” Wolf said.

“Fuck you,” Yufei snapped.

Tian Yu said something in Mandarin and Yufei rolled his eyes but remained silent.

Demir monitored every man and woman in the restaurant, looking for any sign one might attack. He could handle himself, but he knew other members of the Lords didn't have his skill set. Still, he was ready for anything.

Wolf sighed and motioned for Bruiser and Goat to step forward. “I want my brothers’ cuts back. And I want an apology.” He held up a finger. “And understand, we didn't start this shit, your boy over there did.”

Tian Yu nodded. “I do understand, that is why you're dealing with me.”

“And you're the boss?”

“Consider me the mediator of my family,” Tian Yu said. “My older brother is the boss. Your dispute is with my younger brother, Yufei. Let's resolve this issue.” He held a hand out, snapped his fingers, and one of the men dressed in a suit stepped forward, carrying two leather vests. He handed them to Tian Yu who extended the cuts to Wolf. “Please... take them.”

Wolf cocked an eyebrow because he didn't trust this slick motherfucker. Still, he motioned for Bruiser and Goat to take their cuts back. Both men did, slipping them on. “And about that apology?”

“Yufei,” Tian Yu said.

Yufei groaned, but stepped forward. He held his chin high, lips tight. “Sorry,” he clipped out.

Bruiser punched the man, causing him to grunt and stagger back. The triad pulled guns, the Lords pulled guns.

“Enough!” Tian Yu snapped and it was the first time the man had raised his voice.

With that command, the men in suits either lowered their guns or put them back into their holsters. The bikers didn't, so neither did the Lords.

Again, Tian Yu spoke in Mandarin and that was when the bikers put their guns away. Seeing as the situation was calming down, Wolf slipped his gun back into his holster and his Lords followed. Demir just held his gun at his side, like some of those triad members. Yufei dabbed the blood on his lip and then lunged for Bruiser. Tian Yu grabbed his brother and shoved him back. Again, more Mandarin was spoken between them.

Wolf leaned over toward Demir. “What are they saying?” he asked in a low voice.

“Yufei wants a piece of Bruiser, but his brother won't let him,” Demir said.

Tian Yu ran his fingers through his hair and turned around, adjusting his suit. “I hope this resolves our issue.”

Wolf thought about what Demir said. “He doesn't look like this issue is resolved.”

“He'll back off.”
