"Old master, it's been confirmed. The man was dead before he was brought out of the water," An inked huge man walked into the bedroom where Noah Lloyd was meditating on a mat gingerly.There wasn't an immediate response because of this but the man waited patiently.After some minutes, Noah opened his eyes and looked at him. Receiving this sharp gaze, he continued his words, "Old master, the young master Lincoln was also in the car when the incident happened."Noah's eyes darkened and a scowl appeared on his face. "Why hasn't that little bastard left San Jose yet?""Thankfully, he is out of danger and currently at the hospital."Noah facepalmed and stood from the mat."I want you to find out what my nephew is doing here. I don't believe my father would let him stray in this foreign city all alone for too long. He must have come for an important reason. Find out what it is.""Understood sir," The man nodded his head.Noah stroked his beard. Before he didn't care what Lincoln was doing h
Levi almost facepalmed. Why did he answer the call just now? He completely forgot hiding the incident away from his wife.Lincoln smirked slowly. It was the first time he was seeing his stoic and annoying cousin looking so flustered. It seems he can only be like this in front of his wife.Since the opportunity exposed itself, why not take advantage of it?"I'm talking to you!" Brooklyn brushed off the hair strands on her face and pulled her chair closer to look into the phone screen.Lincoln hid the smirk on his face and put on a pitiful look. With a little wave with the free hand that wasn't connected to the IV, he said, "Hello cousin in-law."His voice was low. She almost didn't hear him but when the words registered in her head, her eyes widened."W-what?" She stuttered. Levi really facepalmed now and looked down at Lincoln darkly to which the latter gave a sheepish look.Is this his revenge for not calling him cousin? Damn this bastard."What... are... you..."Levi turned away with
Zoey stepped into the house and saw Micheal on the phone with a dark look. She halted; he seemed to already know.Just as she was watching him quietly, she heard him plead into the phone. "Mr Scott, I promise this will be different. You were my father's best partner back then. How could you doubt me? Why don't you trust me for my father's sake?"Perhaps he had accidentally put on the loudspeaker mode of the phone because Zoey could hear the recipient of the call respond,"Young master Tyson, it's not that I don't trust your capability but the time chairman used to run the company is over. I am not the only important decision maker in my company. They won't agree to pool funds into a start-up business."Micheal gritted his teeth. He understood what the man was trying to say indirectly. He meant to say since his father already stepped down, the business couldn't survive under his control and it was sold off.Now his company wouldn't gamble investing funds into his business ideas.This w
The commander in chief personally received Levi and his companions after hearing of their visit to the city's station."Mr Lloyd, it's been a while. To whom do I owe this visit?"The commander had a good impression of him after the last incident involving Diana's arrest and how he had resolved the case all alone.His only regret was that Dominique's influence was so great that he was quickly released afterwards after pulling some strings."I have only come to have a word with someone. Your subordinates are already aware of this. I do not wish to disturb the commander," Levi responded politely."It's fine. I'll have someone take you to the receiving room immediately," The commander immediately rang up the phone and called an officer.After watching their casual exchange, Davis was surprised that Levi even knew the commander in chief.They were led to the interrogation room where the accused was already waiting. Because of their previous agreement, only Levi was let into the receiving r
Levi removed his shades as he got out of the car. He seemed to have different shades for every day. His impassive gaze darted around a large research institute.He didn't expect this would be the headquarters of the investigators team. The chief who was already awaiting his arrival walked up to him."Good day sir," They exchanged pleasantries and a handshake then the chief led them into the institute.There were two other private investigators Levi recognized as the spies he had met at SK. He nodded at them politely."I didn't expect you would call so soon," The chief stated. He was a bit disappointed at the call earlier because he thought Levi had a change of heart and finally wanted to join their investigative team.But turns out it was something else. The chief sighed regretfully. Levi misunderstood his sigh because he bowed slightly and apologized,"I apologize for the inconvenience, sir.""Ha, it's nothing," The chief shook his head. "As soon as you sent the information, I had my
"Levi, meet Natalia's parents, Juan and Teresa," Grandfather Hernandez introduced the other unfamiliar couple.Levi bowed politely and greeted. "Welcome aunt and uncle. How was the trip home?"As he sat down, he quickly noticed Juan looked nothing similar to Luis aside from sharing some physical features.Juan was actually looking quite younger and suave. He also dressed like a foreigner to indicate someone who's been away for a long time.Unlike Yolanda, Teresa had a kind face with a little smile that didn't seem faux. Infact, her smile widened as she acknowledged his greetings."Good. We've heard quite a bit about you. Mother and father wouldn't stop talking about you. Thank you for taking care of them in our absence."Levi felt a bit embarrassed and offered her a smile back. "It's nothing. We are family.""I didn't expect my strong-willed niece would actually settle down someday. I was surprised when I heard about you. I even felt curious to see the man my niece has deemed fit to s
Levi's eyes dilated as his hand holding the phone up faltered. "What the fuck," He completed, repeating his sentence.Brooklyn was sitting on the bed with legs crossed and wrapped in a kind of red gift nylon. She even had a cute bow made out of the gift nylon on her head as she scrolled through her phone.When she heard his voice, she looked up and smiled widely. "Hello hubby... Surprise."Levi's eyes narrowed. This... Was this the surprise she mentioned over the phone? She didn't even inform him she was coming."Brother! Brother, are you still there?" Diana's loud voice attracted his attention again.With his dark eyes still fixated on Brooklyn, he tugged at his tie. "Mmm mhm... I heard you and I'll be there. Not only me. Your sister-in-law will be there too.""Br—" Before the puzzled Diana could ask anymore questions, he ended the call."When did you arrive?""Just a few hours ago."Levi's eyes darkened and he stripped. Brooklyn suddenly felt a sense of danger. "You... Why are you l

There were also some specially invited guests to be the judges asides the school leaders.Like award winning artiste, Zayn Holland who had the hearts of most of the female music fans in the entire country, veteran song writer, Oliver Brooks and legendary female singer, Evelyn Carter.Levi, Brooke and Hannah managed to get seats a few rows from the stage with a great view.As they waited for the contest to start, Levi began to scroll through his phone as he wasn't interested in the small talks Hannah engaged Brooklyn in.He was scrolling when he came across a headline.[Just now: Popular athlete, Nate, who had been wrongly accused and arrested acquitted of all charges]Just below it were other news related to it.[Shocking: Xavier tenders public apology to teammate, Noah for all the troubles he has caused][Xavier, popularly known as Blaze to be banned by sports federation]Levi smiled lopsidedly.
