Everything happened so quickly. Twenty men who were uniformly dressed in black tuxedos stepped out from five Mercedes-Benz. They stood tall with well-built physique.
They walked with a steady stride. Each of them carried an inner calmness as their sharp gaze scanned the surrounding.
Anyone could see that they were an elite group of professionally-trained bodyguard.
A Rolls-Royce pulled up, and the car door swung open. A middle-aged man stepped out, dressed in a butler uniform with a briefcase in his hands.
Everyone was amazed that a butler would show up. They wondered which family this butler came from.
Nathan Cross was taken aback when he saw this person. He recognized him as none other than Francis, the butler of the Cross Family.
Why did Francis show up here?
Nathan's phone rang. It was an incoming call from Colin Dunne.
When he answered the call, Colin's panicked voice came through, "General. Five minutes ago, Jade Hotel was bought over from the Cote family by a mysterious buyer."
"We're investigating the identity of the mysterious buyer. After getting the information, we'll purchase Jade Hotel from the person. It might take around ten minutes to complete the process."
Nathan looked at the briefcase in Francis'hand as he walked in with twenty bodyguards trailing behind him. "Zayn is the mysterious buyer," he replied calmly.
Colin was shocked by the news. Before he could respond, Nathan had already hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, John Lenon approached Francis with a few employees following behind him. "Dear sir, may I know which family you're working for? Is there anything that we can assist you with?” He smiled politely.
Before John could get closer to Francis, the well-built bodyguards that were surrounding Francis pushed him away.
John was flabbergasted at what had happened and glared at Francis'group of people. Who are these people that are being so overbearing? He thought to himself.
Francis started walking towards Nathan with the twenty bodyguards in tow. When they reached Nathan, they arranged themselves in a straight row, bowed towards him, and greeted in unison, "Master!"
"Master!"
All the employees of Jade Hotel, the customers, and Penny's family were shocked upon hearing the way they addressed him.
