A Man Like None Other

When Xavier saw the mischievous look in Kai's eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. Getting a grip of himself, he quickly answered, “What are you talking about? All that matters is that you're back.” “Kai, you returned at a bad time, as we have finished for the evening. If you still want to eat, there are some leftovers which you can have. Or else, they'll just go to waste,” Zayne suggested sarcastically.

Zayne's comments caused everyone to burst into mocking laughter.

"Oh? Does your mouth not hurt anymore?” Kai snapped with a smirk.

Zayne cringed at the comment while covering his face with both hands.

“Zayne, just ignore him. Let's go.”

Worried that Kai would strike Zayne again, Maria quickly pulled him away.

After everyone was gone, only Kai and Hilda were left in the room.

"Kai, if you're hungry, we can grab a bite outside instead of having leftovers here,” Hilda proposed. “Did you not have your fill?” Kai gave her a surprised look.

“When you were taken away, I was worried about you. So..." Hilda admitted that she barely ate anything.

When the look on her face made him feel guilty, Kai replied with a smile, “Come, let's go grab a bite.”

With that, Kai left with Hilda.

Meanwhile, outside Vintage Restaurant, Zayne cordially opened the car door for Xavier. “Mr. Jennings, please...”

After taking a step, Xavier backed out of the car. “You guys go on ahead. I just remembered that I have some unfinished business to deal with.”

Xavier wanted to question Felix about what happened. If Felix had failed, he then wanted his money back.

“Mr. Jennings, if there's anything you need, I can deal with it for you,” Kai asked with a smile while approaching them together with Hilda.

“Kai, who do you think you are to be able to deal with Mr. Jennings’ matters?” Zayne snorted before turning to Xavier. “Mr. Jennings, I can help you with whatever you need.”

“It's a private matter. You guys should leave first.”

Just as he spoke, Xavier glanced at Kai before reentering Vintage Restaurant.

“Kai, didn't you arrive in a Bentley? Now that we're leaving, is it coming to pick you up? Since I haven't seen a Bentley before, can you get your friend to drive it here to show me?” Lydia suggested sarcastically all of a sudden.

“That's right, I want to see a Bentley too!”

"Count me in! I want to check out how this friend of Kai actually looks.”

“Let's pray that you didn't come in a Bentley and travel home on a scooter.”

The crowd began to ridicule Kai.

"Why should I let you see it?" Kai sneered.

“You're just bragging. You never had such a friend at all!”

“It's too easy to get away with boasting nowadays. If it was illegal, you would have been arrested a long time ago!”

“It doesn’t matter if it was. After all, Kai has been arrested before. Have you forgotten that he was recently released from prison?”

With the crowd backing each other up, they peppered Kai with snide remarks, simply because they wanted to ingratiate themselves with Zayne.

When he heard their comments, Zayne was caught up in their fervor and forgot the pain he suffered earlier. Hence, he piled on the insults, “I heard that Kai was cheated upon when he came out of prison. Given what a loser he is, how dare he brag in front of us?”

With a darkening expression, Kai raised his hand, striking fear into Zayne.

In fact, Zayne was so terrified that he covered his face with both hands and hid behind Maria.

“Kai, what are you doing? If you dare touch him, I will not let you off!” Maria scowled.
