"He's still alive and kicking after doing all that? Is Old Master Lake a different person now?"
"Come on. As someone from Ocean City, don't you know what Old Master Lake is like? Many people have gone missing in previous years because they offended the Lake family!"
"Yeah. In my opinion, it's not that Old Master Lake did not want to kill him; it's just that he couldn't!"
"Hss! Even Old Master Lake can't kill him, he's too strong!"
...
The whole room was full of whispers, but everyone kept their voices under control, fearing that Kennedy would hear them.
The head of the Lake family, Kennedy, had built a bad reputation in Ocean City over the years, and they would suffer to cross him.
"Sean Lennon!"
Curtis' face darkened as he yelled coldly.
Sean cleaned his ears, looked at Curtis with disdain, and said, "I wondered why there are peasants in Greenview Hotel. I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Lake."
"You!"
"Alright, there's no use talking about it. We'll see the truth later!"
Curtis wanted to say more, but Kennedy cut him off.
The Winters family member leading the way for the two did not say much. As a member of the Winters family, he deeply understood that he could not take sides, even if they were the Lake family—the top family in Ocean City.
Curtis glanced hostilely at Sean before walking behind Kennedy to head toward his position.
When Kennedy did not pursue it further, everyone was shocked and speculated about Sean's identity and origins.
