”If Tai Pin wants to take over the highest ranking position in the underworld, then believe me, he has invited only the head of families to his party.”

You don't execute a takeover without an audience.

While he explained the details of the plan to the men, Edward didn't bother with the retelling of the history between him and the opponent.

All the men needed to know was: there was an enemy that needed to be taken down and they were going to help Edward do it.

”Is that clear?”

”Yes, sir,” they all chorused.

The underground parking lot of the hotel building was almost always deserted because nobody likes to park their cars in a dark room with concrete pillars and zero security.

The lighting in the vast expanse was dim and people could barely see anything which was exactly why it was a good place to have weapons delivered to the team.

The truck arrived that night filled to it's teeth with armour, most of which wasn't going to survive the bullet fest that would go down in a matter of hours.

With stealth and intent, some of the soldiers from the room trooped down to arrange the weapons.

Guns were cleaned and loaded with as much bullets as their magazines could carry. Bulletproof vests were checked for excesses and the blades of swords were shone until reflections could be seen.

None of the weapons were going to be moved from the back of the truck until they were needed.

After proper inventory of them had been taken, the truck was sent to the parking lot of the hotel where the party would be taking place.

”According to the invitation, Tai Pin expects me to check into the hotel anytime today.”

Viktor tapped the screen of the smart watch on his hand, ”It's almost seven o'clock.”

”I took a late flight.” Edward shrugged.

”Shall I call you a cab then?”

Edward thought a while then shook his head. ”Take me to the airport.”

His reasoning was that Tai Pin would be watching out for him from the airport.

”Up until now, I was just a tourist in Shanghai,” he announced to the room, ”now, I am a target.”

Sneaking Edward into the airport to pretend like he'd just come off a flight was no small feat.

Since Tai would definitely have access to flight manifests, they had to take Edward to the private terminals where jets landed.

Tai wouldn't expect Edward to fly commercial anyway. It was a good thing they had been covering their tracks since day one. But they'd been focused on the wrong enemy all these while.

Tai Pin was the one behind everything, Jinn was just a face the man needed to throw everyone off.

Edward wondered what would happen to Alexa's father after everything. He was sure Tai had promised him a seat at the head table, but everyone knew that it was never going to happen.
