Mia soon stumbled upon a peculiar scene. Everywhere she looked in the nightclub, waiters appeared to be whispering to guests seated at various tables.


    Before long, the patrons who had interacted with the waiters abruptly stood up and left.


    This made Mia feel a wave of anxiety, and she leaned over to Charlie, speaking softly, “Have they arrived? Something doesn’t seem right with these waiters.”<fnf240> The rightful source is Find1Novel</fnf240>


    Charlie shed a reassuring smile and replied, “Don’t worry, the show is about to begin.”


    As he spoke, he poured himself another ss of champagne and took a sip.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In no time, the nightclub was nearly empty, with only Charlie and Mia remaining at their table.


    Suddenly, the ceiling lights zed to life, illuminating the previously dim nightclub lobby as bright as day.


    The booming music came to an abrupt halt, and the DJ, along with the waitstaff, quickly exited through a staff passage.


    In that moment, arge group of young, intimidating men wielding machetes surged in, surrounding Charlie and Mia.


    While Charlie remained calm and collected, wearing a smile, Mia eximed, “What are you doing?! Be careful, or I’ll call the police!” No sooner had she spoken than a mocking voice chimed in, “Miss Mia, you have quite the temper.”


    Following those words, an elderly man in his sixties, dressed in a Tang suit, entered with his hands sped behind his back.


    This man was Zyaire, the leader of Hongmen on Hong Kong Ind.


    Alongside Zyaire were Huzaifa, Pankaj’s father, and Lin, who had put in considerable effort to win Zyaire’s favor.


    Mia had never encountered Zyaire before, but his notoriety on Hong Kong Ind made him instantly recognizable to her.


    Seeing Zyaire in person made Mia extremely anxious; it was clear to her that today’s events might be hard to resolve.


    With a hint of respect in her tone, she asked, “Mr. Hong, what brings you here?”


    “What’s this all about?” Zyaire replied with a cold snort. “Did you harm me? The people here also kidnapped my godson?”


    Mia quickly tried to rify, “Mr. Hong, that’s not how it is. It all started with Pankaj provoking…”


    Huzaifa, listening nearby, erupted in fury and interjected, “Mia, right? You’d better tell me where my son is! If anything happens to him, you’ll regret it!”


    Charlie, who had been quietly observing, raised an eyebrow and remarked, “You two seem to be in your fifties or sixties. Together, you’re over a hundred years old, and you’re here shouting at a girl? Aren’t you worried people willugh at you?”


    At this, Zyaire’s temper red, and he shouted, “You little punk! I hear you’re from the maind. Do you even know who I am?”


    Charlie responded nonchntly, “To me, you’re just an old dog missing most of its teeth; I couldn’t care less who you are.”


    “You bastard!” One of Zyaire’s younger associates roared, “How dare you insult our Hongmen leader? I’ll see to it that you regret this!”


    Charlie simply smiled and said, “Really? You’re going to kill someone right off the bat? Isn’t it a bit dull to finish so quickly?”


    Zyaire red at Charlie, his expression darkening. “You’re quite bold! I don’t even care about you, but what’s your background?”


    Charlie replied coolly, “My background is none of your concern. Don’t you want to resolve this? As the head of Hongmen, you’re condoning your subordinates’ mischief. For the sake of your age, if you bow and apologize here today, I won’t pursue this matter further.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
