The patriarchs there understood what Sean meant about change.The Lake family rose to power suddenly a few years ago. Their experience and foundation were incomparable to their families.The Lake family was lucky. It was said that they got involved with a big shot from Janestown. That was how they rose from a family at the bottom of Ocean City's social hierarchy and became the top family in Ocean City after several years.Theodore and Michael were already old, so they did not care so much about the struggle for power and profit.However, the Lake family had become increasingly aggressive over the years as their influence grew. Even some of the Lake family's younger members did not take Theodore and Michael seriously.The Lake family was indeed strong. With Janestown's big shot backing them up, Theodore and Michael could only swallow their pride.The Quartz family was in a similar situation. Therefore, after Sean revealed his plan, the three resolutely followed Sean to deliver cof
"Ol' Winters, you're making yourself a stranger by speaking to us like that!"Jadon feigned displeasure.The hotel manager, Ol' Winters, straightened his face and joked, "Haha, I'm just too elated to see Old Master Carver and Old Master Davis!""Haha, take us to a private room."Jadon smiled and patted him on the shoulder.Ol' Winters replied in acknowledgment and led the way.Ol' Winters naturally had some skills to become Greenview Hotel's manager.He figured out a lot from the sequence in which Michael, Theodore, and Jadon got out of the car.Jadon, the head of the Quartz family, was the first to get off, followed by Michael and then Theodore. The young man was the last to get off.Ol' Winters understood what it meant.On the way to the private room, Ol' Winters asked with a smile, "Ol' Quartz, who is this?""Mr. Sean Lennon, the chairman of Optimus Security Services!"Jadon replied with a smile.Hearing this, Ol' Winters was shocked but also had a hint of doubt.He wa
The first dish was already served after more than ten minutes.As more and more dishes were served, the four people also began to toast each other.Michael and Theodore did not drink alcohol due to their poor health, but both recovered remarkably well after Sean's treatment.They were all men who had been to war, and liquor was no stranger."F*ck off!""I'm a platinum member of Greenview Hotel. Am I unqualified to enter Emperor's Suite?"Just as they were toasting each other, an outraged voice came from outside the private room.Sean and the rest frowned slightly with a hint of discontent."Mr. Lake, Emperor's Suite is already occupied. How about we arrange another private room for you?"Mario's voice then rang.Sean raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to run into the Lake family at dinner here. I wonder which member of the Lake family it is?"If Mario is Mr. Winters' brother, why would he treat a member of the Winters family like that?"Sean was sli
"Alright, let's not make ourselves a laughingstock."Michael patted Jadon's arm and said with a laugh.Jadon also snorted coldly before sitting down.Michael looked at Mr. Lake and asked with a smile, "Oh? What branch of the Lake family are you from?"Disregarding the identity of the people in the Emperor's Suite, Mr. Lake entered the Emperor's Suite and sat down.Then, he said, "I'm the Lake family's second branch. I'm Titus Lake!"Those two losers, Kennedy and Curtis, have shamed the Lake family name today!"No wonder my father always said that old geezer, Kennedy, never would have become the head of the Lake family if he hadn't been the eldest."Titus looked indignant as he spoke. He seemed to be deeply dissatisfied with Kennedy and Curtis.Hearing his speech, Sean and the rest secretly exchanged a look. They saw the glee in each other's eyes.Today was Kennedy's 50th birthday, and the thing that humiliated him was the incident where the four of them delivered the coffins.
Then, Titus added, "Curtis is a fool, but he's quick to react."He lied to the Ocean City dignitaries there, making everyone think that the guys who delivered the coffins were intimidated by that old geezer, Kennedy. He said they left dejectedly after Kennedy scolded them."If we hadn't planted a mole in Kennedy's manor, we would probably never have known about it!"But do they think that Ocean City's dignitaries are fools and that they can keep today's events a secret forever?"Titus grew angrier as he spoke. He grabbed the bottle before him to pour himself another drink, but the bottle was empty."Here, drink all you want. I'll make sure you won't run out of wine!"Sean said, handing him the bottle at his side.He could now tell that Titus was the most idiotic one, even if he kept calling Kennedy and Curtis fools.He spilled the Lake family's secrets without even knowing who he was talking to."Thank you!"Titus took the wine and thanked Sean.Then, he picked up the bottle
Seeing this, the drunk Titus sobered up slightly.He looked at Sean in disbelief, stunned by what he did.After a long time, he said excitedly, "F*ck! Are you a f*cking martial artist?"Do you know martial arts?"Awesome. Are you a martial arts expert?"Titus fired off a barrage of questions.Sean smiled and shook his head, saying, "I only know some basics.""F*ck! You call that basic?"Say no more. Take me as a disciple! Once I know martial arts, I'm going to string Curtis up and beat him!"Titus said suddenly.Michael, Theodore, and Jadon, who were confused as to why Sean would suddenly do that, were finally enlightened.Sean was trying to infiltrate the Lake family, starting with Titus.The three men were deep in thought, and all remained calm."Forget about being my disciple. You can come to Optimus Security Services when you have time, and I'll teach you."Sean said.He did not conceal his identity.After all, he could tell from Titus' speech that Titus had a deep
"Alright, let's not talk about these upsetting things today."We have only one task today, and that's drinking!"Sean spoke, interrupting the party.Hearing this, Titus immediately nodded and said with a laugh, "Brother Lennon is right. Why mention those two jinxes, Kennedy and Curtis? Let's drink!"Titus was not as strong as Sean, so he could only open the wine bottle with a corkscrew.Ding!Two bottles of wine clinked with a clear and melodious sound.Then, the two men threw their heads back and finished the entire bottle of red wine."Hic! Amazing!"Titus wiped the red wine from the corners of his mouth and exclaimed.Unfazed, Sean put the wine bottle down and returned to his seat.After finishing a bottle of wine, Titus opened another bottle.He raised his wine bottle to Jadon and the rest and yelled, "Old Master Davis, Old Master Carver, Mr. Quartz, and Mr. Winters, here's to you!"Oh no, here's a bottle of wine as a toast to you!"I'll drink first. Feel free to drin
While Sean and others were drinking to their hearts' content, Kennedy and Curtis sat at home with gloomy expressions.Only a few insect chirps rang outside the yard in the night."Dad, are we just going to forget what happened today?"Curtis asked in a deep voice, hatred glimmering in his eyes.Kennedy glanced at him, slowly got up, and looked up at the stars."The Lake family is no longer what it used to be. With our power now, few people in Ocean City dare to oppose the Lake family!"Sean's just a little bastard from out of town. How dare he send me coffins because Michael, Theodore, and Jadon have his back!"Tell me everything you know about Sean."Kennedy said slowly.Although his voice was calm, it was icy.Curtis's expression changed slightly before he slowly said, "As far as I know, Sean owns Optimus Security Services and Optimus Clinic."He seems to be a skilled doctor. He treated Theodore and Michael, which is why they're with him. I don't know his story with Jadon
