As at the time Felix got to the venue of the welcoming celebration, it was about to start. It was hosted outside the City Square and a lot of people seemed to be in attendance.But instead of the happiness and cheering that D'Angelo was expected to receive as an incoming mayor, murmurs and grumbles of discontent and disappointment was audible throughout the crowd and the bystanders around.Standing beside Felix was a prominent news reporter. He overheard the journalist speak into the microphone as he addressed the camera. “And starting our day, today, is the celebration of Mayor Bartholomew D'Angelo for his recent appointment as mayor. Good morning, this is Hummer Khan reporting live form City Square. As we all know, in the recently conducted elections for mayor, the candidate, D'Angelo battled against all odds and won the election victoriously. However, it appears that not everyone is thrilled with his victory, as evidenced by the lackluster mood of this so-called 'celebration party

At the mention of it, the whole crowd, both inside and outside, went into an uproar even louder than the first one. Felix was shocked and annoyed. Demolition? Was the mayor trying to renovate the entire city?“What? That's totally absurd!” Elsa complained, fuming mad like an angry bull. She couldn't even imagine the whole of MoperVille being renovated. The last time a government did this, many properties were lost, and so many people lost their homes and businesses. It was the worst thing that could ever happen to a city, especially a developed city like theirs. Was he trying to say that they would give up all the essential and healthy infrastructure facilities in the city just to create a stadium and have casinos and gaming houses all around the city?The residents were not ready to accept it. If D'Angelo wanted to start a fight, they were ready to give it to him.Felix thought for a while. After contemplating, he decided that this was where his father steps in. Of course, as a ma

Felix and Elsa got into the coffee shop and finally took a seat by the window side to receive a little breeze, given the stuffy crowd they had mixed with. Elsa's eyes darted around the room, taking in the other patrons. She couldn't help but notice a group of men in suits sitting at a nearby table, their heads bent together in what seemed like a serious discussion. The whole place looked serious and professional.They ordered for two cups of coffee, mistakenly omitting one for Quince. Then they started to wait for his arrival.Elsa looked around, beginning to get nervous as she fidgeted in her seat. After all, she was going to meet Kingsley Quince, an esteemed lawyer in the city who had a reputation for being ruthless in the courtroom. “Felix, what do I say when he comes?” she asked, sitting up straighter. Clearing her throat, she added, “should I start with, 'Hello, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Quince. I've heard a lot about your work and...'”“That sounds forced and too sugar-coated

Zechariah's mouth flew open. Clients?! Felix and Elsa were the clients Quince was there to see?! Hold on, can someone explain something or everything going on? Felix saw the look of shock on their faces and a cunning grin spread on his face. He walked closer to them and whispered, "Looks like we won the bet."As soon as Zechariah heard that, the shock of the realization caused his heart to start pounding furiously in his chest. That was when he recalled the bet they had made. He had straightforwardly placed the bet on his precious diamond chain without a second thought. Now, he was starting to regret ever trying it out.On the other hand, Tiara stood there frozen, open-mouthed in shock and disbelief at how spectacularly their assumptions had backfired. But this doesn't make any sense! How could their assumptions have been so catastrophically wrong? They'd been sure that no lawyer in the city, not even the most incompetent, would take their case. And yet here they were, having the m

Meanwhile, outside the shop, Zechariah and Tiara fumed at their humiliation as they got into their car and sped away, plotting revenge against Felix, Elsa and especially Jen for causing them such embarrassment. But the first thing they had to do was to make them lose face in court by making Jen to lose the case.However, he couldn't do it when Quince was such a reputable individual, and nobody could refuse him entry to the prison. So he took out his phone and called the prison warden in charge of monitoring and ensuring that no one visited or called Jen. "Make sure no one sees the lady from now on! Not even her lawyer!"*At the front of the MoperVille Central Prison, a striking red Ferrari approached the prison gates with a roar, its powerful engine growling as it slowed down to a stop. The sleek, aerodynamic design of the car drew the attention of everyone nearby, from the guards at the gate to the inmates inside.As the car came to a halt, the driver's door swung open, and Kingsl
