Kevin punched the man eventually and let him go. Jake kicked the last man in standing and hurried over to stand beside Kevin again.The hooligans were on the ground, writhing in pain.Kevin moved closer to the leader of the hooligans again. “I'm Kevin.”“Kevin! Kevin!” A young boy started to chant; soon the rest joined in.Jake smiled. He was happy. Kevin was truly the Lord Phoenix. His skills were unimaginable. He also had a pure and kind heart. He was irreplaceable. At that moment, the only thing he had in mind was to serve Kevin till he breathed his last.“What do you think you are doing?” the leader snapped, and everyone stopped chanting. “The Watson family will never let anyone off the hook. This young man has implicated the whole of you, and you will all be punished!” He yelled.Kevin slapped him again and shut him up with the next word he was about to say.The leader felt dizziness take over him again. He turned to the other side and tried to rub his aching cheek.“Is this how
“Hello Jack!” A rich baritone voice boomed. “How is the work going?” The voice asked happily. “So, has the matter been resolved? It should be by now because I have no time for long talks!”Kevin scoffed. “It looks like the Watson family needs to be taught a great lesson. I will do the honour. I will teach you the lesson you guys deserve!” He muttered coldly.“What!” The voice on the other end was shocked. “Who is this? Who are you?”Kevin ignored him and stretched the phone to Jake. “Tell your boss I will be coming for all of you!”Jack took the phone with shaking hands.“Did you hear that? Or do you want me to repeat it for you?” Kevin demanded suddenly, in a deep tone. He clenched his fist and swung it, almost hitting Jack but stopping almost immediately.“Yes!” Jack responded shakily.“Good! Watch your back!” He gave his last warning, turned around, and started to walk away.“You see that? You better don't dare!” Jake yelled as he hurried after Kevin, a wide smile on his face.He w
The residents praised Kevin until he got inside the car and Jake drove off. Kevin saw how happy and relieved they were. The people were strained already. The Watson family was just being greedy and deserved to be taught a great lesson.Kevin placed a call to Alessia. She picked it up immediately.“Hello Boss.”“Yes, how is it going at the hospital?”“Well, I've moved Howard and his daughter to the VIP room. And in fact, the doctors are currently attending to Lisa as we speak,” she explained.Kevin released a sigh. “Good. And the guy?”“He's safely in the basement of my house,” she assured.Kevin nodded slightly. “Good. I'm sorry, Alessia. It looks like we might have to postpone our lunch date. I will make it up to you soon,” he assured and hung up.He looked up at Jake. “Stop the car!” He said softly.Jake looked up, confused. “Is there a place you are going? I will drop you off.”“Where I am on doesn't concern you. I'm getting off the car. You should go back to Falcone State; there's
“Where should I drive you to, boss?" Jake asked suddenly as Kevin dropped the call.Kevin thought about it quickly. “You will have to drop me off.”His phone rang suddenly. It was Lionel. He picked it up. “Hello Lionel.”“Boss, I've just spoken with the Mayor of Penia City. He would call you any time from now because I've sent him your contact.”Kevin nodded once, but he remembered something immediately. “Did you tell him who I am?”“No, Boss. I only told him you are a representative of Lord Phoenix and the Leader of the Falcone State because I didn't want him to look down on you. So, you can also be able to work with him fully on whatever you think is right,” he explained.Kevin smiled. “You did right.”“Also, I wanted to inform you that it's now all over the news that the Lord Phoenix has returned,” he revealed.“Good, Lionel.”Kevin looked at Jake now. “I will get down now. I will call Alessia. You can go to her; she will give you a space in the suites.”Jake smiled. “Thank you so
It was a few minutes past seven, and Kevin was having a dinner with the Mayor of Penia City.He was dressed in one of his best dresses, even though he wasn't able to get himself a nice dress.But then he loved being simple.Oasis Restaurant was a high-end restaurant. It was actually affordable to all because it has various categories for various people. You can book based on your capabilities. There are normal tables, and there are also some VIP boxes.Kevin booked a VIP box through Alessia. He texted the mayor a few minutes ago as well before he walked out of the house.He hadn't walked a few minutes when Jake pulled off beside him. He hurried out of the car to open the door for Kevin, but Kevin ignored him, opened the door, and got inside before he would reach his side.Jack smiled nevertheless and hurried over to his side of the car. Kevin was humble; there was no doubt about that.“Where am I taking you to, boss?”“Oasis Restaurant.”“Alright boss.”In a few minutes, they got to O
Morris burst into laughter immediately. “What are you doing here, Kevin?”Kevin stared, confused for a moment. “I should be the one asking you that question. What are you doing in my compartment?”Nathan stared at Kevin for a moment. “Who is he?”Morris waved off quickly. “He's a nobody.”“Good then,” Nathan smiled. “It should be easy to convince him to leave then.”“Though I'm not even sure if he booked this place. Perhaps he's waiting for someone else or he sneaked inside,” Morris mocked.Mia felt disgraced. She couldn't say anything, as it wasn't only Nathan this time but also the minister of Finace. She couldn't introduce him at all.“Me waiting for someone is none of your business, actually. I can be anywhere at anytime,” Kevin said.He wondered why Mia was in Oasis Restaurant with Morris’ friend that she just met yesterday. He looked at Mia since it didn't look like she wanted to talk. “Is something going on here? Why are you here?”Mia released a sigh. “Please leave this compa
The mayor was clearly annoyed. He didn't know the relationship between Kevin and the people he met with him, but he was sure they were trying to override him.“I'm still yet to understand what's happening here,” the mayor muttered thickly. He looked at the minister. “Perhaps the minister can explain it better to me. As far as I know, I and Kevin already booked this place. I don't know why you expect him to leave this place for you. Who can you be?”The minister shivered. “I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.”Mia and Morris couldn't talk. They saw that the minister was in fact shuddering. They knew better than talking. What if they angered the mayor the more?“That's not an excuse, actually! But that aside, I'm not the one you should be apologising to. You embarrassed my guest!”The minister stepped forward with apologetic expression. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Kevin.”Mia looked at him, shocked for a moment. Mr Kevin?“I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding,” he repeated.The mayor looked
Kevin took the steering because Morris refused to drive Kevin home. To him, it was a sign of disrespect. So, he sat in the back seat while Mia sat at the passenger side.“What were you discussing with the mayor anyway?" Morris asked suddenly as Kevin took a turn.Kevin regarded him for a moment through the front mirror. “You can't force the words out of my mouth. You had better mind your business,” he said harshly.Morris felt a stab of annoyance. “Mia, did you hear what he just said?”Mia grunted. “I have no time for this, Morris. If you can't stay quiet, you can as well get out of my car!” Mia said in a harsh, cold voice.Morris groaned and looked away.Mia was in fact annoyed that Morris disturbed her. She was thinking about who Kevin was. But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't arrive at a conclusion about who Kevin was.Then she realised that being angry and harsh won't even make Kevin talk. He seemed to have changed recently. Maybe she could try to be calm so t
