Although the car did not technically belong to Hans, there wouldn’t be much of a difference in his treatment of the vehicle if it did.

Li Du passed the car keys to Hans, who beckoned to the teenager, ”Get in the car, young man. I’ll take you for a ride!”

”Oh yeah!” The teenager gave an excited shout, pulled open the door and jumped in the car.

Li Du shook his head and said, ”He’s really energetic. I should have let him drive earlier—I’m so tired now!”

Big Quinn said, ”Please come in, boss. I have some homemade beer, it tastes very good. I think you’ll like it.”

His house was the common American detached single-family home, which was the most common type of housing in the United States. Houses were built on both sides of a street, surrounded by lawns and gardens.

However, the population density in Big Quinn's neighborhood was high. The houses were close to each other and the gardens and lawns were much smaller. Big Quinn did not have a garden, only a lawn with an area a little over 60 square feet.

The lawn was located behind the house and surrounded by a carefully built fence, forming a relatively small area.

The lawn was well-maintained. There were no weeds sticking out within the green grass. It felt soft and comfortable even when walking on it with shoes.

It was sunset. Without the strong rays, there was no need for an umbrella, only table and chairs.

Big Quinn led Li Du and Godzilla into the house. Inside, the furniture was clean and organized in an orderly fashion, which indicated to Li Du that the owner was a hardworking person.

When the sound of the door opening was heard, a tall black woman came out from the kitchen. It was Rosalind, Big Quinn’s wife.

Rosalind smiled when she saw the guests and greeted them. ”Mr. Li? Hello, nice to meet you. This is Mr. Flores, right? I’m very happy to meet both of you.”

Godzilla said, ”Just call me Godzilla.”

Li Du also added, ”Call me Li.”

He handed the gift cards to Rosalind and said, ”We were in a hurry so we didn’t prepare any present. We hope the gift cards will make up for some of our impoliteness.”

When Rosalind saw the value shown on the gift cards, she was taken aback by the amount. ”This gift is too expensive.”

Li Du replied, ”No—compared to the value that Big Quinn gives me, this is really nothing.”

A boy and a girl came running down the stairs. Big Quinn carried each of them in one of his hands. That was his younger son, Allen, and his little daughter, Suzanna.

After the introductions, Rosalind took out a bottle of beer from the fridge and said, ”I've prepared a drink for you: our homemade beer. I hope it’s to your taste.”

Li Du laughed, ”Big Quinn’s culinary skills are excellent. I can’t wait to try it.”

”Put this in the bank tomorrow.” Big Quinn handed the 1,000 dollars that Li Du had given him to his wife.

Rosalind asked, ”Where did this money come from?”

Big Quinn laughed, ”It’s a bonus from Boss. Honey, this money was earned through legitimate means. I’ve told you that Boss is in the storage auction business. He’s an expert in this industry and we do not deal with illegal stuff.”

Li Du now understood why Big Quinn mentioned earlier that he was going to invite them over. It was because Rosalind was doubtful about the money and was worried that Big Quinn could be involved in some illegal business.

Indeed, with his extraordinary appearance, he could have been involved in illegal business or gang activities such as ”providing protection”— often a thin cover for extortion. The income would absolutely be a considerable amount.
