81: Zenia
"Okay," Grandfather Leroy walked up to him slowly, a grateful look on his face."When you have time, come and accompany this old man to play chess. I'll keep my collection of wine for you."A small smile appeared on Kael's lips and he nodded. "I will. Grandfather, don't drink too much though. It's not good for your stomach.""Of course... Of course," Grandfather Leroy laughed happily, reaching out to pat Kael's arm."Then I'll get going now," he looked in Derek's direction. "Come with me and let's pick up those children from school."As they walked out, Kael suddenly thought of something and mumbled to Derek."I wonder how that little brat is doing in school. He had better not get into another fight."Derek chuckled and shook his head sideways. "He's a good kid. I'm sure he will be on his best behavior.""Also—" Kael's forehead creased as he looked up. "—do you think it is the right time to tell them my real identity, Derek?"He frowned slightly. "Like uncle Rowan said, I can't keep h
82: Skeletons Of The Past
Kael looked out of the window, his eyes dimmed slightly. 'Perhaps it is time I pay my respects to my parents' graves.'The two most important people had long since passed. No matter how successful he has become, they couldn't see it.He lowered his head and looked down at the file again. Perhaps it was destined for him to return to Zenia now.Back then, he had promised his old man that he would never step foot in the province. Old memories resurfaced. He could still remember the old man's last words. "Very good, Kael. Don't return there and you will be safe. I promised your parents."The old man had held his palm tightly and used his last breath to remind him that, "From the moment I brought you to Solara as a child, Kael Westwood died in Zenia and Kael Cross was born. Don't reopen the skeletons of the past."---The file crumpled in Kael's hand as he snapped out of his thoughts. "I'm sorry, grandfather Cross... I can no longer keep that promise."He had long borne a deep-seated hat
83: Good Enough To Share A Bed
VROOM! A beautiful silver Acura TLX came to a stop in front of Skyline 27, a luxurious five-star restaurant. Kael got out of the car first and walked around to open the door for Maya. "Thank you, brother-in-law," her face held a tinge of embarrassment as she jumped out of the car. On their way to the restaurant, she had already thanked Kael multiple times but she still thanked him, feeling bad for taking up his time. After all, she knew he was a busy person, yet her parents were still so worried and she couldn't even assure them. What was dangerous about having dinner with old classmates? Besides, she wasn't the only female in the group. There were many other ladies in attendance at the reunion banquet too. As soon as Maya got out of the car, several people sitting by the window had already begun to wave at her. She walked over and exchanged pleasantries with them, but instead of sitting immediately, she reserved a seat for Kael in a quiet corner. She feared that it would
84: Ordinary Unemployed Man
The young man was Henry Rhodes. He was the captain of the college's football team. His family was quite wealthy and well-known in Solara."Henry is right, Maya. Since you said he is your good friend, then he is our friend too. We all should get to know each other," another young man stood up and extended his hand to Kael."Brother, let's get to know each other. Maya only mentioned our names briefly. I will give you a detailed introduction so we can help each other in the future."The smile on his face was too cocky as he gestured at himself. "My name is Tristan Sloan. I am the head of our class. My family owns the Sloan Group of companies.""Oh," Kael nodded politely, accepting the handshake briefly, before withdrawing his hand."Henry, don't sit there like a fool," Tristan turned to his friend, winking suggestively. "Introduce yourself to our new friend."Henry stood and also extended his hand to Kael with a gentle smile."Brother, you don't look like you are still studying so I won'
85: Take Their Clothes Off
"Hey... Celine... Oliver... we are all here to have fun. Let's not say inappropriate things," Henry gestured at them to keep calm and gave Kael a meaningful look."He is here with Maya. At least, let's give Maya some face.""Fine, because of Maya, we won't say anything more," Oliver Crowley sneered at Kael, then glanced at the Rolex Submariner on his wrist."And now that Maya is here, let's not waste time here anymore. Let's go to the Karaoke lounge. I have already booked their platinum room just for tonight."TAP!He took out his car keys and slammed it on the table. It was a Mercedes Maybach."Hmm, let's not waste any more time. Let's go," Henry nodded with a smile and shook the Bugatti key in his hand.He looked around the table and said, "You people can find someone to carpool with."But his eyes shifted to Maya. "Come with me."Maya paused, she looked around and saw that everyone had begun to choose the person they wanted to carpool with.There was no seat left for Kael. So she t
86: Is This Enough Sincerity?
The stars in the night sky seemed to shine very brightly as the silver Acura TLX drove down the highway at a slow pace. Eventually, it took a turn and left the highway, driving into a lively street.The buildings were beautifully lit up with neon lights and people wandered about. There were different casinos, bars, clubs, lounges and hotels. Ladies in skimpy dresses were hanging around old men. Drunkards were hanging around every corner. The entire area felt shady.Maya's expression changed the further the car drove. She heaved a sigh of relief when they got to the Karaoke Lounge.Henry, Tristan and the others had already gotten to the reserved private room. When Kael walked in, a feeling of nostalgia washed over him.When he was younger, he used to visit Karaoke lounges, but it was just a normal, public Karaoke centre. Not a private room like this one that reeked of luxury.Back then, he had received a nickname because of his captivating voice. Ladies used to call him King of Hearts
87: Toad And Swan
"Then just go ahead and drink. You don't have to be so ambiguous," Maya's frown deepened, but before she could say anymore, Clarissa pulled her away."Maya, ignore these troublesome men. Let's go over there and sing."As soon as the ladies left the table, anger surfaced in Tristan Sloan's eyes. He shed his façade and placed a firm hand on Kael's shoulder."Brother, let me tell you something. Keep it in mind and don't forget."Kael didn't speak, his gaze fell on the hand on his shoulder and slowly turned colder. "My brother Henry has his eyes on Maya. If you are smart, find a chance to slip away and never show up in front of her again.""But if you refuse..." Tristan's eyes darkened with a warning. His lips curled up with a sneer. "You've seen the gap between us. Henry's family is even more powerful than mine. You may end up dead without even knowing how you died."Tristan's eyes darted up and down Kael's ordinary appearance. A look of disgust appeared on his face."Don't say I didn'
88: Remember The Name
The sexy woman Nina looked around the room slowly and her eyes landed on Oliver. Her gaze turned fierce and her lips parted.But before she could speak, Oliver stood up and looked at the tattooed man with disdain."It's me. And what are you going to do about it?"Oliver's tone was full of provocation and didn't look intimidated at all."You want to break my third leg? Who do you think you are?!"The tattooed man threw his head back and laughed like he had just heard the funniest joke in his life. Seeing this, Oliver was infuriated.He picked up a bottle of Dalmore 62 from the table and walked toward the tattooed man.He turned his head to Tristan on the way and sneered, "Tristan, I wasn't joking earlier when I said if I ever see this woman again, I'll make her know what it is to be a real man."He took two long strides towards the tattooed man and swung the bottle in his face."Get out now and I will pretend I didn't hear what you said earlier. But if you refuse to leave..."Oliver ge
89: A Eunuch
If the people in the private room heard what Kael said, they would have looked at him in shock. Who in Solara doesn't know Rico Castillo?There used to be a time his name would send shivers down people's spine and make them tremble. It still did. Rico Castillo stepped down as the king of the underworld, but his influence was still there. He faded from the public these recent years due to increased law enforcement scrutiny, but he was not someone to be trifled with.The Castillo group was built into an empire by him alone and the Castillo family was second only to the major families: Rutherfords, Beaumonts, Hawthorne, Winchesters, and Kensingtons.The Castillo family often operated from the shadows so people usually forget a powerful family like theirs existed."Kid, why aren't you speaking anymore?" Rico Castillo snorted coldly as he waved at the inked men behind him. "Give me the knife.""Yes boss."A sharp, brand new machete that gleamed in the dim light was handed over to Rico in
90: They Will Stay
At first, Tristan frowned and looked up, but when he saw that Celine's eyes were locked onto Kael, he relaxed. Everyone in the room obviously knew at that moment that she was referring to Kael."I support Celine," Clarissa nodded and agreed. She turned to Maya and held her arm gently. "Maya, even though you said you two are just friends, you must be more careful when choosing a partner later."Maya frowned, but as her lips parted, Clarissa didn't give her a chance to speak. Her eyes darted to Kael's direction as she continued,"What if you end up with men like him? What would you do? He definitely won't be able to protect you or take care of your needs."A wide smile appeared on Henry Rhodes' face as he listened to the ladies. He didn't expect that a small gesture like this would suddenly elevate his status.He smiled at Rico Castillo and nodded vigorously, "Yes, uncle Rico, Oliver is my friend.""Oh," a meaningful smile appeared on Rico's face as he asked, "So you want to plead for
