Heavy rain was still falling in the Central Region of Country Z, covering a vast expanse of land that included Qamond and even Aramend hundreds of miles away.
At a hotel in downtown Aramend, Wolf No. 1 goes to do his job after staring at Mei and Mai. It was only at midday that Mai woke up again, and the first thing she did was run to the hotel entrance. He crouched at the door, staring at the rain outside. He would not go anyhow persuading her because he wanted to wait for her father.
Seeing her daughter crouching at the hotel entrance and listening to her words, Mei felt a sense of sadness. He felt there was a high chance Junifer would not return but he did not know how to explain it to his daughter.
Seeing the rain getting heavier, she felt worse for her daughter. "Honey, didn't Wolf No. 1 say that even though Dad would be back, he would need at least two or three days? He won't be back today. The rain is getting heavier, so hurry up and go back inside. Wait for me inside, okay?"
Mai shook her head while smiling. "It's okay, Mom. I'm waiting here just in case Dad comes back early and has to go upstairs looking for me. That's why I'm waiting for him here. This way, he'll see me as soon as he gets back. Mom, go up and rest if you're tired. I'll wait for you here..."
Mai smiled as she said this but her eyes filled with her longing for her father when looking out the door. He had a hunch that his father would come back and see him today.
Just then, Mai felt a pain in her eyes. He lifted his head and tried his best not to cry in front of his daughter. Suppressing her heartache, she continued to coax mai. "Listen to mom, mai. You have to trust Wolf No. 1. I'm not coming back today..."
Mai raised her little head to look at Mei. "Mother, I have a feeling that Dad will be back today. Really am! My gut feeling is always accurate. Last night, I had a hunch that Dad would show up. He showed up and beat up the bad guys, really! Mom, my gut feeling is always right! I must be back today. You have to trust me, Mom..."
Meu stared at mai for a while before nodding and smiling. "good. I believe you, mai. I'll be back today..."
He could not force himself to lie to his daughter anymore. He's just very upset. She never thought that her four-year-old daughter would be so wise and aware of everything. Her daughter would even hide her yearning for her father from him in the past but she could not do it again since meeting Junifer last night. Mai desperately wanted to have her father by her side.
"Junifer, oh, ! You must return safely! Or you may never know how much your daughter misses you!" Mei gritted her teeth and tried her best not to cry out loud. Even so, he could not hide his sadness.
He took a deep breath. Seeing Mai turn her attention back out the door, she pulled out her phone and texted Yasmin: "Yasmin, you have to help me no matter what. You can ignore me but not with mai. Mai can't lose her father. I beg of you... "He even took a photo of Shirl and sent it to Yasmin afterwards.
Yasmin was standing at the door of a luxury villa in downtown Qamond, wearing a white dress. She lowered her head to read Mei's message; the first message, and then the second Mai photo. Then, he stood still in his place for a very long time.
His father, Quentin Smith, had returned to Qamond at 8 a.m. He had told her about Junifer at once, asking her to help no matter what. Quentin had sent him out after listening to his explanation.
Seriously expression. Anyway, this is something very important. He never got along with Wilson Chilton but he also had his worries. He is unable to make up his mind despite Yasmin's plea for help.
Yasmin stared at Shirl's photo for 10 minutes before taking a deep breath. She gritted her teeth and responded to Mei's message with a determined look. ", don't worry. I promised my dad I'd come out and help. Dial!"'s !" He turned around and went back inside the villa to talk further with his father.
Quentin Smith was the second most influential person in Qamond, second only to Wilson Chilton. The Smiths are also the only family on par with the Chiltons here. Their strength as a whole was weaker than the Chiltons, but for the residents of Qamond, their difference in strength was minimal. Quentin has worked hard to grow their business, making the Smiths more prosperous at Qamond every day. Their business has even expanded beyond Qamond.
Quentin pondered to himself in the workspace of their villa. He struggles to decide whether to answer his daughter's request to oppose the Chiltons. Being a sage like himself, he knew that two powerful forces could not rule in the same land. Sooner or later, the Smiths will have to fight the Chiltons. He understands this more than anyone. Even without this incident, he had plans to investigate how powerful and influential the Chiltons really were.
Indeed, he had planned to visit the Chiltons and chat with Wilson Chilton before heading home. He just didn't expect Junifer to do anything to Jarred, Wilson's only son and heir to Chilton's fortune! Of course, Jarred had always been trash to him. He will be the happiest of all seeing Jarrred inherit Chilton's business.
Quentin sat in his chair, turning the two jade balls in his hands. His position did not allow him to fight the Chiltons directly in this matter nor would he involve his entire family. The husband of his daughter's best friend isn't important enough to make her do it. However, the cunning old Wilson was also well aware of his thoughts. In other words, regardless of whether or not he leaves Wilson, Wilson will come for him sooner or later.There is also a good chance that Wilson will take this opportunity to take revenge against the Smith family.
"Should I gamble?" Quentin frowned deeply as he lit a cigarette and sucked deeply. Throbbing temples. Two minds were fighting in his mind: gambling or not gambling...
Suddenly, Yasmin opened her study door and knelt on the floor with a loud bang. His eyes were filled with determination.
Quentin's frown deepened as he saw this, he asked, "What are you doing, Yasmin? I never said I wasn't helping your friend! Why are you kneeling on the floor? Awake immediately!"
Yasmin shook her head. "Dad, I know your dilemma. I'm not an idiot. I know what's going on. Sooner or later, our family will clash with the Chiltons because only one family can rise in Qamond! None of us can exist at the same time. Besides, what I want to say is that even though you want to endure this, Wilson Chilton gave us time? He wouldn't. Dad, Wilson Chilton's not stupid..."
Quentin. "Yasmin, you must understand that our family will lose everything if we lose this gamble..."
Yasmin raised her head and smiled wryly at her father. "Haha... Dad, our family has lost a long time, haven't we? Haven't we lost since Wilson Chilton came to Qamond alone? And all the forces in Qamond knew that I had let Mei stay in our house for three days. If we don't do anything, we'll get another chance in the future?"
Quentin's body is shaking. He looked at Yasmin for a while before saying, "You.. allow Mei to stay in our villa?"
Yasmin lowered her head. "Yes, Dad. Mei has been living in our house for the past few days. And I was there when Junifer beat Jared Chilton until he was disabled..."
Quentin took a deep breath. "Yasmine! You've made a stupid mistake..."His eyes reflected the complicated feelings he had. At that moment, he understood everything.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I dragged you and our family into this. Ii'm sorry. To be honest, I'm not just doing this to help mei. I want us to fight the Chiltons once and prove that we have the courage. Dad, we don't have a choice anymore.I'm sorry..."Yasmin said as she shook her head with a guilty expression.
"You're right. We have no choice...."Quentin muttered softly and sank into silence while Yasmin continued to kneel on the floor.
After a while, Quentin took a deep breath and stood up. With an indescribably imposing demeanor swelling within him, he narrowed his eyes. "Yasmin, tell all the elders in the family to come to the hall to have a meeting right now! Gather all our forces and rush to the lakefront villa! Didn't Wilson Chilton say that no one was allowed to interfere? Ha... I want to see if the Chiltons can fool the public. "
Yasmin's eyes immediately brightened. Quentin's imposing manner was also getting stronger and stronger, just like his courage! He continued, "Everyone in Qamond seems to have forgotten that our family is a true force here as well as that the Chiltons are outsiders! Let's see if Wilson Chilton can beat me today!"
As the patriarch of the family, Quentin made up his mind upon hearing his daughter's words. He gave up this time in his confrontation with Wilson Chilton over 10 years ago and left it in the trample all along. This time, he would not let his daughter give up either.
"Thank you, Dad! I'll call all the elders and have them come to the meeting immediately..."Yasmin stood up in excitement. He ran out of the study and started contacting everyone. Of course, he was also very happy for his best friend. He believed that once his father made a decision, he could do it!
Qamond is really fucked. The Chiltons took action, and the Smiths also moved.The Smiths, the Chiltons went and the constabulary, Everything was a mess Everyone was doing preparations, waiting for the night to come.
