"Moreover, I also employed detectives to delve further into investigating who really came to attack you on that night; everything will be revealed later; however, be mindful of how you make friends," his grandfather said, standing up and heading to his room while holding his cup of coffee.

Rex let out a heavy breath and gazed at the bouncers before summoning a speech.

Though the hotel street has been busy with tons of flashy and expensive cars, however, there was no passerby the car came across that wouldn't halt and take a second glance at it.
