JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 361
Chapter 361Meanwhile, Kai was already making progress with his investigation. He had learned that the gang members who came into Emerald Falls were led by a man called Scarface, and they were rivals of Sasha, the assassin.He’d gathered this information from an informant, and now he had a plan in place: head to Red Waters, dig deeper into this gang, and uncover any clues about Sasha and who might have hired her to go after Liam. Liam was certain that Eric was behind it, but Kai had his own suspicions. He was leaning toward Williams and Mr. Sterling—after all, Eric didn’t seem capable of orchestrating something like this. Still, in Kai’s line of work, you could never be too sure of anyone.His own history with Williams made him question if he was biased, but there was only one way to know for certain. He had to get to Red Waters, preferably before the police got wind of any of this.With that thought, he finished packing his briefcase, closing it with a snap. Across from him, Liam sa

Chapter 362Kai stepped off the plane at Red Waters International Airport, the cold evening breeze hitting his face as he adjusted his grip on the briefcase he carried. The air smelled different here—heavier, somehow. It carried a hint of salt from the nearby coast and an edge of grit that hinted at the city’s rougher reputation.He took a breath, pushing away a flicker of doubt. This was no place to let his guard down, especially since his goal was Scarface—a man few approached and even fewer dared to confront.He flagged down a taxi and slid into the backseat, keeping his briefcase close. As the car pulled away from the airport and merged into the main streets, his gaze drifted out the window, absorbing the city of Red Waters.The skyline was industrial, dominated by rows of aging warehouses and smokestacks. It wasn’t like Emerald Falls, with its sleek glass buildings and polished streets. Here, the buildings wore years of neglect openly, their walls stained with grime, graffiti, an

Chapter 363Kai was still deep in thought when a loud knock rattled his hotel room door, jolting him out of his reverie. Instantly alert, he stood up, eyes narrowing as he moved cautiously toward the door."Who’s that?" he called out, his voice steady, not afraid—just prepared for whatever."It’s Mr. Wibblebottom, the manager," came a hoarse voice from the other side of the door.Kai's brow raised in mild disbelief at the name. With a deep breath, he unlocked the door and pulled it open. Standing in front of him was a burly, short man with a round, protruding belly and a head nearly bald except for a few wispy tufts of hair.The man wore a faded, ill-fitting suit with the buttons straining over his stomach, and he had a self-important expression on his face, as though he owned half the city.Beside him stood a petite woman in a skimpy, low-cut dress that clung to her thin frame. Her dark, hollow eyes held a flicker of mischief, and she pursed her lips at Kai in a practiced pout.Kai's

Chapter 364Kai returned to his room, settling onto the edge of the bed as he replayed the encounter with the manager in his head. An idea began to form, lighting up his thoughts with a flash of inspiration.What if he could use the girl as bait, he might draw out Scarface’s men or other gang members. They’d probably be less on guard around her, and it could be the perfect opportunity to gather intel without raising suspicion.Acting on the idea immediately, Kai sprang up and hurried out the door, making his way downstairs. As he entered the lobby, he approached the receptionist, a stern-looking woman with sharp eyes and a no-nonsense air about her.“I need to speak to the manager,” he said, trying to keep his tone calm but urgent.The receptionist held his gaze for a moment before sighing and jerking her thumb toward the far corner of the lobby. “He’s over there,” she said bluntly, her voice devoid of any warmth. “Try not to waste his time.”Kai nodded his thanks and followed her ges

Chapter 365The crowd in the lobby erupted, chanting, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as more people gathered, drawn to the commotion. Kai glanced around, his eyes narrowing as he took in the audience.The fierce-looking man puffed out his chest, emboldened by the chants and by the assumption that he’d have no trouble taking down someone like Kai.Sizing Kai up, the man grinned, rolling his shoulders and cracking his knuckles. He looked like he was ready to turn Kai into a pile of bruises. Kai, however, remained calm, his gaze steady and calculating. With a snarl, the man swung a wild punch at Kai, aiming straight for his jaw. But Kai moved with surprising speed, sidestepping the blow effortlessly. Before the man could react, Kai lifted his leg and delivered a brutal kick to the groin.The man’s face contorted in pain, and he staggered backward, clutching himself as gasps rippled through the crowd. People exchanged glances, the initial confidence in the big man's success quickly dissipating.

Chapter 366Back in his room, Kai locked the door, his mind already drifting to the task ahead.He glanced at the petite girl as she sat down on the edge of the chair, her posture tense, hands clasped nervously in her lap. She looked as though she might break into pieces if the wrong words were said.And It didn’t take a genius like kai Nakamura to see she was probably new to this line of work. Well, that’s her business, not mine, he thought, dismissing the idea.He checked his watch—still just past 8 PM. Two more hours to kill before he’d be heading out into the murky depths of Red Waters, the part of town where danger was a fact of life. The information he needed would be there, and he’d be ready.He was pulled from his thoughts when he felt a light touch on his shoulder. The girl had stood up, her movements hesitant yet intentional. She leaned in closer, her fingertips brushing his arm with a tentative softness as she attempted to meet his eyes. Her gaze was almost pleading, her li

Chapter 367After a long pause, Kai finally spoke again, his voice more casual this time. “You mentioned your mom is sick,” he said, his eyes steady on hers. “What exactly is wrong with her?”Lina hesitated for a moment, her fingers once again twining nervously in her lap. Her gaze fell to the floor, and for a long time, she didn’t speak, the weight of her words seemingly too heavy to carry. She took a deep breath, steadying herself before meeting Kai’s eyes again.“My father died when I was young,” she began, her voice quiet, but steady enough to tell her story. “He was a soldier. He was never really home. When he was around, it was for brief moments, and then… he was gone.” Her eyes flickered briefly with sorrow, but she quickly pushed the emotion down, focusing on her mother instead.She paused, unsure of how to explain. “After he died, my mother had to take care of everything. She was already struggling with her health before that. But she never stopped. She worked, doing whatever
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 368
Chapter 368It was around 10 p.m. when Kai and Lina stepped out of the hotel room. The quiet hum of the hotel lobby seemed to grow louder as they walked through it, and the chatter of the few remaining patrons began to swell.All eyes turned toward them as they moved across the floor. Some guests who had witnessed the earlier commotion, the fight between Kai and the fierce looking man, exchanged glances and whispers.They assumed they had just finished with their assumptions based on the earlier tension. The couple’s appearance in the lobby, with the air of quiet finality around them, made it clear what they thought had occurred. Whispers of “finished already?” and “how was it?” echoed through the room.The manager, Mr. Wibblebottom, was quick to notice them. His burly frame loomed large as he scurried across the lobby, a wide grin on his face. He moved with a sense of eagerness, his eyes glinting with a mixture of curiosity and business-minded anticipation.“How was the sex? Did she
