In the huge courtyard, Mack stood motionlessly while staring fixedly at the gate. He would check his watch from time to time. Next to him, Klein spoke incessantly with a smiling face. Klein could not help it. The special class bodyguards of the Joo family had extraordinary background and status. Even if he was the third master of the Hane family, he needed to treat them with courtesy. It was because these people, to a certain extent, represented the patriarch of the Joo family and even Old Master Joo himself! “I say, it’s not appropriate for you to stand here all the time. Why don’t we head to the restaurant across the street? Let me be the host.” Klein’s objective was very simple—to divert the attention of Mack and his men and create favorable conditions for Baloo to act. Of course, Mack was fully aware of his intentions. He shook his head faintly and said, “No, I’ll just wait here. Time is almost up anyway.” “Time is up?” Klein was taken aback. He had no idea what Mack
Everyone was dumbstruck. Who was Deaton Wade? He was the boss of the top bodyguard agency in Riverdale! At this moment, he was willing to act as a valet and open car doors. One could imagine how amazing the identity of the person sitting in the Cadillac was! Vivi Joo stepped out in her black high heels. She could be seen wearing a black dress. She got out of the car with a stern face and smiled at Deaton. “Third Young Miss.” Mack, Hardy, and Roy walked over and greeted her respectfully. Vivi nodded, looked at the private residence of the Hane family, and asked coldly, “Where is he?” Mack was a little nervous as he glanced at Klein. He said, “Still inside.” Vivi frowned slightly and glanced at Deaton. Deaton immediately called out to Klein, “Hey, Klein, come here.” Klein was already stunned. He was not a fool. He knew at first glance the identity of the woman who had just gotten out of the car! The third young miss of the Joo family! The Joo family was in the top f
Klein sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he made a lot of effort for his performance that was full of excitement. In fact, he was taking advantage of the situation to say this to Vivi. In other words, he was saying that he represented the Hane family while Vivi was not qualified to talk here. Of course, he dared not say this openly. “Shut up!” This time, Klein was being shouted at! However, it was not Mack, or Hardy, nor Vivi who shouted at him, but Deaton instead! Getting shouted at in public, Klein’s dignity suffered a blow as his expression collapsed immediately. He never expected that at such a time, Deaton would actually yell at him and make him lose face! No matter what, he was still the third master of the Hane family. Even if Deaton was powerful, he was just one person with an agency under his name. He did not have a family as his backing! After Deaton was done shouting, he looked at Klein and said in a low voice, “Stop your blathering and quickly bring
He never expected that Philip would know Old Master Joo! Baloo's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. If not for his many years of social experience that he could still control himself, he might have run away with his tail tucked between his legs long ago! It was also at this time that Baloo heard the sounds of rushing footsteps! The footsteps were very rapid, both light and heavy. It seemed that many people were heading this way! Philip also heard the footsteps and the corners of his mouth curled up. Baloo shuddered at the sight. However, Baloo also knew the people outside. With Klein around, there should be no problem. It seemed likely that Klein was unable to withstand the pressure from Mack. Nonetheless, time was almost up. Baloo pondered his options. He had already asked all that should be asked. His only worry now was that Philip knew Old Master Joo, which would make things a bit difficult for him. In just a moment, however, Baloo had already made
The few of them had had verbal disagreements right from the start and none of them took it seriously before, but once a person made a physical move against the other party, then the nature of the conflict would change! When Hardy saw that the other party actually dared to talk back to Third Young Miss, he naturally disregarded his status and directly pressed the dignified Third Master Hane on the wall. If word spread out, the Hane family would completely lose face! As the president of the bodyguard agency in Riverdale, Deaton’s expression also became awkward at the moment! This turn of events was totally beyond his control. The other party was the third young miss of the Joo family, after all. He could not provoke nor dared to provoke her! Furthermore, Philip Clarke was also sitting across them! That was the big shot one had to be aware of! Philip acted like nothing had happened. He sat there quietly, shaking his propped leg with his arms folded across his chest as if he wa
Clarke family? Which Clarke family? Klein was dumbfounded. He frowned as clouds of suspicion flashed across his face. That Clarke family? No, impossible! He had made thorough investigations about this person. He was nothing but a good-for-nothing son-in-law! How could he be related to that Clarke family? No way! “Hehe, Philip Clarke, are you trying to bluff me? I’m Klein Hane!” Klein roared. Smack! As a result, Vivi slapped him across the face! Instantly, the crisp slap resounded throughout the room. Klein was stunned as he stared at Vivi blankly with eyes full of anger! “Unacceptable! How dare you hit me? Miss Joo, even if you’re the third young lady of the Joo family, this is my private property. You’re disregarding the entire Hane family by doing this. I can bring this up to Old Master Joo!” Klein looked furious. It was disgraceful to be slapped by a junior! “Hehe, you can try,” Vivi replied coldly, completely disregarding Klein. “I think there’s no
Looking at Philip's young and immature face, Baloo suddenly felt his heart twitching violently! This guy was no ordinary person. Their previous investigations were wrong! He had to be the young master of an affluent family in Capital City with an identity that countless people could not even imagine! Juan Parker had gotten him into deep sh*t! No wonder the boss kept emphasizing that he could not alert the enemy! Baloo felt a little dizzy. He thought he had a chance of winning, but the tables were suddenly turned against him! “Klein Hane, I hope you think this over carefully and don’t do anything you’ll regret!” Vivi’s eyes were cold while her tone was stern, making those who heard her tremble. “Miss Joo, this area is under the Hane family’s jurisdiction. Your aggressive actions are simply too unreasonable!” Klein frowned deeply. He hoped to avoid making an enemy out of the Joo family if he could help it. After that, he continued bitterly, “Regarding Philip’s matter,
“Wait there. I’ll go to Riverdale at once!” Shawn Hane, the head of the Hane family, said. Click! Then, the phone was disconnected! Klein was stunned for half a minute before reacting. What was the situation? Shawn was coming to Riverdale? This place was several hours away from Capital City. At the same time on the elevated highway leading to Riverdale, a Rolls-Royce drove along at high speed. Inside the car, Shawn’s face was full of horror as he sweated profusely while saying, “Take me to Klein’s private residence as fast as you can!” After saying this, Shawn’s heart started thumping rapidly. He was flabbergasted! As the head of the Hane family in Capital City, this panicked expression on his face was really rare and unusual. Even the driver was as quiet as a mouse at the moment. The atmosphere in the car was freezing. How could the third brother provoke him?! Damn it! Was the Hane family going to go through the crisis eight years ago again? Back at t
