After all, everyone knew Spencer was world-famous, but they did not think his fame would even involve the police or the military. As the police and soldiers, dressed in handsome blue uniforms and camouflage wear respectively, patrolled the premises, the crowd broke out into excited murmurs. "My goodness! I didn't realize how famous Mr. Gibson is! Imagine being so influential that even the policemen and the military have come to escort you from the airport!""I've never even seen a celebrity get this kind of treatment before!""What on earth are you yapping about? Do you think Mr. Gibson can't even compare to a prancing celebrity?""Yeah, what do you know? Even the King of Biskeland had his suit and his bride's dress customized by Mr. Gibson! That should tell you what this says about Mr. Gibson's talent!""Why do you think Mr. Gibson would visit Drunham City all of a sudden? With all these soldiers around, do you think it's possible that Mr. Lynch's daughter is getting married a
Liam was sitting on the couch, smoking a cigarette leisurely, while Kolten and Howard sat quietly next to him, waiting.The commotion in the airport was so loud that they could hear it even from the VIP lounge. "Sir, there are a lot of people out in the arrival lounge—some socialites, philanderers, and all sorts of other people. I'm worried people might get injured, or worse, trampled. Should I do something about it?" Calum asked in a whisper. Liam could not help frowning when he heard the commotion. He took a puff of his cigarette, contemplated this for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, but take care not to hurt anyone in the process."Calum nodded, then shot Howard a knowing glance, who immediately leaped to his feet and followed Calum out of the room.Howard barked instructions to his second-in-command waiting at the door, "Get rid of all those irrelevant people. I don't want anyone unnecessarily intruding on King Pendragon's meeting with Mr. Gibson. There are a lot of
Malcolm replied without even giving him so much as a glance, "Ignore them. Do you have any idea who's at the airport right now? It's Mr. Cole. If anything, I would rather offend a thousand socialites than a single Mr. Cole. Just do exactly as I say."The concerned look vanished from his assistant's face upon hearing this. He murmured in acknowledgement, then strode out of Malcolm's office and carried out Malcolm's orders. Soon, the people who had lodged complaints to Malcolm began to receive replies from their families or assistants, relaying Malcolm's message.At the same time, another shocking news spread like wildfire through the crowd. There was another legend lurking at the airport, aside from Mr. Gibson.The King Pendragon himself was at the airport as well!This news, no doubt, took the entire city by storm. Everyone was so stunned to hear this that they gasped and began casting awestruck glances around the place. Malcolm's instructions were clear. These people were not
As arrogant as Cheryl was, however, she knew full well that she stood no chance of earning King Pendragon's fancy. She had not even so much as caught a glimpse of him before, so how could she even dream of catching his eye?However, things were about to change soon. Since King Pendragon had come to Drunham City, perhaps if she was lucky, she would be able to catch sight of him!Of course, Cheryl was not the only person hoping—everyone else who had been waiting outside the airport was thinking along the same lines as her. Not only that, but the rest of the entrepreneurs and businessmen who had been too busy to show up at the airport before this all put down their work and rushed to the airport as soon as they heard the news!Soon, the sheer amount of cars had built up, causing great congestion on the freeway leading to the airport.The citizens of Drunham City had never witnessed such a sight before—grand, expensive cars making their way slowly toward the direction of the airport,
All of a sudden, another piece of news broke out. Malcolm had made a public announcement declaring a lockdown of the airport in order to ensure the safety of King Pendragon. He urged all members of the public to leave of their own accord unless they wished to be evacuated by members of the police and the military!At the same time, he also revealed to the public that King Pendragon would remain in Drunham City for some time.This, no doubt, took the entire city by storm. Most of the people who had gathered at the airport chose to leave, knowing that with the police and the military brigade, they stood virtually no chance of seeing King Pendragon. Some of the more optimistic ones, however, stood their ground, hoping against all odds that they would be able to catch a glimpse of King Pendragon, no matter how fleeting.The rest of the people who were stuck in traffic on their way to the airport chose to abort their missions and return home, apparently to formulate plans to 'bump into'
There on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping devices, laid a little girl who was covered in blood. Her life was hanging by a thread. Her mother, Celena Stone, was sitting next to the bed, holding her hands tightly. Celena was covered in tears. She forced herself to endure the pain deep down and comforted her daughter, "Be a good girl, Jovie. Your father will come back to see us as long as you're a good girl.""Mom, it hurts so much! Am I going to die soon? I want to see Dad. I'm not a bastard. My father is very powerful—"Before Jovie could finish, she started shaking all over because of the pain.After Celena saw Jovie fainted, she frantically took out her phone. While she cried and instinctively dialed the number she memorized for years, she said, "Be good, Jovie. I'll tell your father to come and see you now. Don't fall asleep, alright?"Once the call was picked up, Celena did not wait for the person to say anything. She immediately said, "Liam, I'm Celena. Could you com
A sense of guilt and rage washed over Liam.Upon hearing Liam's bellow, his subordinate accelerated without hesitation, flying them to Drunham City at top speed.Liam kept repeating Celena's and Jovie's names over and over again in his mind.He used to be the heir of the Cole family from Drunham City. Tied with the Walker family, they were the top families in the city.Seven years ago, Liam was married to his childhood friend, the eldest daughter of the Walkers.On the day of the wedding, the Walkers drugged his drink behind his back and dropped him in Celena's lounge. Celena's family—the Stones—were relatives of the Walkers.Later, both the Walkers and the Stones joined forces to make a fuss. They said they wanted to seek justice for Celena and the Walker family's daughter. They then took the opportunity to gobble up the Cole family's properties.The Cole family collapsed overnight. Their businesses were divided and properties were taken away. The Stones even wanted to take L
At that moment, a few men in black barged into the emergency room of Drunham City Hospital and kicked out all the doctors who were checking up on Jovie.When Celena saw that, she lost her mind and rushed forward to stop them. "Who are you? What are you trying to do?"She was no match for those bodyguards at all. She was grabbing a man, but with a wave from him, Celena was shoved to the side and fell to the ground.She could not be bothered with the pain she felt. She wailed and begged on her knees, "I'm begging you, please. Please save my daughter! I'm willing to pay any price. Just save her!""Oh? Any price will do?" a man outside the emergency room answered Celena's plea.Celena could hear the sound of the leather shoes tapping on the floor. It sounded like Death was approaching, and it made Celena's heart sink with every single tap it made.Then, a young handsome man opened the door and walked into the emergency room. He sneered as he looked at Celena, who was on the floor.T
