231 Genius 231: Strange message (2/2)

\”Nothing, Ken.\”

Narrowing his eyes, Ken took a step closer to Evan, \”show it Evan or I will force my people to get whatever you are hiding behind you.\”

Evan gulped hard, \”it's nothing just a paper,\” then he got up, swiftly walked past him while trying to shove the paper in his pocket.

Ken lay a hand on Evan's shoulder and twisted him around to face him.

\”I am your best friend Evan, show me that.\”

Knowing Ken's temperament and patience, Evan handed the paper to him.

\”Babe, I hate you. Proceed or I will kill you.\”

After Ken read that aloud, a laugh full of amusement sounded in the bar like a lion roaring in the forest.

\”Seriously? That poisonous flower is really unpredictable,\” his head shook, and then gave the paper to Evan, \”at least she called you babe,\” he winked at Evan with a tease, \”babe… babe… babe…,\” he continued imitating Daniella's voice.

\”What does she mean by 'proceed'?\” Ken asked.

Evan became quiet, Ken was not aware of what's happening around as he knew that he preferred violence, and right now, the last thing he wanted was to cause pain to anyone which could disrupt Daniella's plan.

\”Its nothing,\” he snatched the paper from Ken's hand and ripped it into pieces.

\”So, where is that shorty?\” Ken looked around, searching for a particular woman with a flowery scent.

\”She's not here Ken. We can't find her,\” Evan replied.

\”Are you sure? Her ex called her mushroom so she must be around, who knows she might be-\” Ken's lips froze as he scanned the place. When his eyes ended at the man standing next to Bing, his lips curved a lopsided grin, \”do you really think you can fool me again Shorty?\” and without a warning, he squeezed the man's cheek.

\”Ouch!\” The man groaned in pain. Only when his eyes shed tears, Ken let him go.

\”Oh, so you are you,\” Ken pulled out a small bottle from his pocket and sprayed his hands with sanitizer.

\”Does it mean you and Daniella are back together?\” Ken confusedly asked, looking back at Evan and acted as if he didn't just hurt a stranger.

Evan, with a poker face, shook his head in response, \”no.\”

\”Why not?\”

\”Because it's a no, Ken.\”

\”so, you are still marrying that maid?\” Ken's face screwed up.

\”Camille is not a maid. She's a model,\” Evan replied in a flat tone.

\”A supermodel,\” Bing commented.

Both Ken and Evan looked at him.

\”Oh! didn't see you there,\” Ken said in surprise, he stretched a hand and shook Bings' while the latter gave him an awkward smile.

Ken's attitude has always been like this. He only saw Evan and Glen while the rest were just a background.

\”How's my shrink?\”

Bing waggled his brows once, his awkward smile became a genuine smile.

\”She's fine but her new assistant is scared of you Ken. Whenever you visit the office, she always hides under her table.\”

Ken stared at Bing for a moment and then shifted his sight to Evan, ignoring the words he heard from him.

\”Do you know Jared? The son of the Golden Club boss?\” Ken asked, his face remained emotionless while Bing and Evan threw glances at each other.

\”Yeah, why?\” Evan replied eventually.

\”He was here a few weeks ago and he wanted to meet me.\”

\”What does he need?\” Bing this time asked.

\”I don't know, the last time I saw him was in Macao,\” pointing a finger at Evan, he continued, \”remember when I met you there with shorty?\”

Evan nodded, upon remembering the time he spent with Daniella in Macao, a smile formed on his lip.

\”What does he want?\” Bing asked once again. He knew Jared, there was a rumour that his father was the person behind the President.

\”We did some business together a few months ago.\”

\”What business?\” Bing asked once again, fear strained in his shaky voice.

\”What do you think? Guns and Drugs, at first he wanted to pay with women but,\” Ken scoffed, \”I prefer money than women,\” then he reached for his pocket and took out a packet of cigarettes and a lighter.

Evan narrowed his eyes, then switched his sight in between Ken and Bing. One is a drug lord while the other is a soldier.

\”Did he pay you?\” Bing accepted the cigarette Ken offered and puffed a cloud of smoke as the end fired up.

Ken shook his head, \”no. No money and no women. I should have accepted those women and open a strip club,\” he ticked his tongue repeatedly, disappointed by the money he lost.

Evan's lips tightened, knowing Ken he wouldn't let anyone get away with his money but the Golden Club was so powerful, that even Ken wouldn't dare to offend them.

\”What does he want from you?\” Evan asked as he opened his phone and read the message Camille sent.

\”I don't know but he wants to meet me. Want to come?\” Ken tauntingly said to Bing. The General despised the side business he was doing, his power might not be as much as Kim, the boss of the Golden Club or Jared but he's still powerful in this country.

Bing's face instantly darkened. Instead of responding, he turned to the man he brought with him.

\”Let's go,\” he said.
