Chapter 140
Gazing into Kai’s unwavering eyes, Hilda nodded at longst. “I trust you!”
Kai shed her a smile and patted her head gently, his gaze emanating brotherly love.
Mere moments after it was time to get off work, Hilda received a call from Ynda, who urged her to
hurry up as many of their former ssmates had already arrived.
She then asked her friend for the location, only to be told that the ss reunion was being held at
mor Hotel.
When Hilda heard that, she wavered slightly. They were nning to split the bill for the ss reunion
tonight, and such a luxurious hotel would undoubtedly cost a tidy sum. She didn’t want to spend that
much, finding it a waste.
Only after Kai persuaded her otherwise did she agree to go. Subsequently, the two of them drove
straight to mor Hotel in a second-hand Ford.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of mor Hotel, they were greeted by the sight of Ynda
waiting anxiously at the door.
Surprise flooded Ynda when she caught sight of Kai. She thought that he would definitely have been
beaten to death after having offended the Crimson Dragon Gang the previous night, or at the least, had
his head bashed in. But looking at him right then, there actually wasn’t a single scratch on him.

“Were you not beaten upst night?” she questioned suspiciously.
“Didn’t I tell you that the Crimson Dragon Gang is afraid of me? They wouldn’t possibly dare make a
move against me.”
Kai shed her a smile.
“What a boast!” Ynda rolled her eyes, not believing him in the least. How could a big gang like the
Crimson Dragon Gang be afraid of him? He must have used some other method to settle the matter.
Perhaps he paid them off!
“Believe whatever you want!” Kai didn’t bother exining further.
“It’s Hilda’s ss reunion today, yet you came here in a Ford? Even hailing a taxi would have been
better than driving a crappy Ford. Look at the parking lot here. Is there any car as shabby as yours?”
Ynda berated with a chagrined expression.
Back then when he encouraged her to attend the ss reunion, I thought he was going to figure out a
way to give her bragging rights. But isn’t he making her aughingstock now by driving a Ford here?
“What’s wrong with driving a Ford? We’ve got to support local brands!”
Kai wasn’t the least bit bothered.
“I think this car is pretty good, too. It’s far morefortable than taking the bus. All right, let’s hurry up
and go in!” Hilda hastily chimed in.
Since she had said as much, Ynda stopped dressing Kai down. The three of them then entered the
hotel together.
A dozen men and women were already seated in an opulent private room. They were chatting and
laughing, so the atmosphere was very much lively.
One of the men was particrly eye-catching, with his hair parted to the side and a gold watch
adorning his wrist. He was seemingly the center of attention, with everyone fawning all over him.
That man was Lincoln Palmer, Hilda’s ex-boyfriend. Despite having been of a different ss than them
all, he was attending the ss reunion as Michelle Henderson’s boyfriend.
“You’re so lucky to have such a great boyfriend, Mich! Lincoln used to be the campus hunk back then!”
“Hear, hear! He was already well-respected in school back when I first joined, and I even had a crush
on him once upon a time!”
“Look at the watch he’s wearing! It probably cost a couple hundred of thousand. He’s truly the epitome
of a sessful person!”
“Furthermore, he has his ownpany now. How incredible!”
They all praised Lincoln and Michelle to the skies, inting their egos to epic proportions.
“Nah, I’ve got to work as well. I’m not all that sessful. Besides, this watch isn’t that valuable either. I
asked a friend to get it for me from Sumanthova, and it was only a little over three hundred grand!”
Despite his seemingly modest words, his tone made it crystal clear that he was showing off.
In truth, everyone could tell that he was bragging, but no one dared to point it out.
They merely listened as he tooted his own horn.
