The Divine Healer and His Many Identities

Chapter 08

Alistair let out a cold laugh and was ready to give a fitting retort, but a commotion at the door interrupted him. Turning his head, he saw Daniel Smith, the man who had given him the wine, standing there and next to another man with a fierce expression on his face. 

The people around let out gasps of surprise and Alistair looked around for a second before his eyes focused again on the men near the door. 

“Lorenzo 'Wolf' Lupo himself!” One person exclaimed and Alistair raised his eyebrows. “I just can’t believe it! OMG, this must be my lucky day!”

The man was known for owning most of the businesses not only in Lothan City, but in other cities in the surrounding area. His power reached international territories and, because of this, he was greatly respected, but more than that, he was feared. 

Alistair knew that this man's business was not limited to what the media reported. Lorenzo Lupo, known in the media as the Shadow Wolf, was the head of one of the largest mafia organizations in the entire world. Powerful, Rich and Dangerous.

Lisa looked at the two men and her eyes shone with pure envy and desire, because she knew the weight of influence those two figures sustained, not to mention the absurd amount of money they possessed, a 'quality' that Lisa greatly liked. 

'I wish the Andersons could reach that level!' she thought and looked at Alistair with disgust. Then she remembered something and was ready to approach Lorenzo, with a smile that many men would find irresistible. 

Marie knew one thing or another about Lorenzo and tried to hold Lisa’s arm, but it was already too late. Thankfully, she saw Edward, who ran to stop Ally from leaving, finally approaching and stopping Lisa from walking closer to the two men. 

“Lisa!” Edward said in a murmur and the woman looked at him. “Do you know them?”

She frowned. 

“No, but I’ll do it right now. Mr. Lupo’s company owes my family about ten million dollars in goodies. So, I intend to remind him of this,” Lisa arranged her hair and tried to take a step forward, but Edward stopped her. 

“Lisa, let me solve it, okay? Let me handle it!” Edward stuffed his chest, proudly. “I know those two, so, I can help you.” 

Lisa’s eyes brimmed at those words and she nodded, letting Edward walk ahead and talk to those two men. 

Lorenzo, who had dark hair slicked back and tanned skin, and thought his demeanor was of a classy and well educated man, he looked at the people in the room with an aloof air, typical of those who had too much money. He observed the movements, but he talked to no one, after all, he had no connections to those present. 

He saw a young man whose face was not unfamiliar to him at all, but certainly not someone important enough for him to remember the name, walking towards him.

At that moment, Daniel saw Alistair and smiled broadly, raising his hand and pushing his way through the people, heading towards the blond. Lorenzo, who didn't know what was going on, just followed Daniel through the crowd with a dignified walk. 

Seeing this, Edward's chest swelled, because even if Daniel's eyes weren't on him, he imagined that the two men were walking towards him. And how could it be otherwise? Edward was the son of the Hunter Family, a prestigious family that had considerable business dealings with those two High Society bigwigs! Besides, Edward had already spoken to the two men, even if briefly, when he accompanied his father to some business events. 

Edward straightened his clothes, lifted his chin and ran his hand through his hair, ready to show everyone around him that Edward Hunter was just as powerful as they were. Soon, Edward would take over his father's business and then he would be the one dealing with important people in the city and beyond. That small defeat to the unknown blond would be forgotten in no time! 

“What a pleasure to speak with…” Edward said, reaching out to shake Daniel’s hand first, but Daniel walked right past him without giving him a single glance, leaving Edward with his hand in the air. “Mr. Smith?” 

Daniel completely ignored him, and it wasn't even on purpose. He simply didn't even see him, because his focus was completely on the one who would forever be his savior.
