Chapter 159 - The Underground World (1/2)

The following day, Hailey received a call from Pitt. She pulled her phone away from her ear when the guy from the other line shouted.

”What the hell, Princess!”

She frowned. Only this guy could yell at her just like that, not minding his position. She mumbled, ”I'm still your boss. Don't scold me.”

But no one could stop Pitt, like how he marched toward Bryan's office and beat up the guy. One more time, he yelled at Hailey. ”Are you insane?”

”I'm warning you, Pitt?” she curled her lips, and her face turned sour.

The guy from the other line stays silent for a moment. Pitt breathes in, but then he yells again. ”Is it true that you are living with a man, Princess!?”

Hailey bites her lower lip. Pitt doesn't care who he would beat among her knights as long as he doesn't like this guy or someone hurt her like what Bryan did. Moreover, the issue about Liam.

”Pitt... Keith explained to you already, right?”

”But still... I don't understand! Yet, you hide it from everyone! Your dad doesn't know that your boyfriend is working in your city!”

”And my boyfriend didn't know he is constructing my city,” she corrected him.

”F.....” Pitt cursed continuously. Hailey rolled her eyes as her ears buzzed from listening to his cusses.

”You know why I want to get close to him, remember?”

”I did not! Ugh! I still could not believe this!” Pitt stressed out. He dropped his body to the couch.

He swept his eyes to the entire room. The Asian Knights already gathered in Palm Island and are only waiting for his command after the Princess orders.

”Alright, Princess. So, let me hear your plans.”

”Now that Liam showed up in Metro City, I am looking into scenarios that involved him in Vincent's accident. Bruce, my new knight, and Keith are working together to investigate the possibility. Right now, I am trying to solve the puzzle, connecting the people that possibly he manipulates to work for him.”

”You know what, Princess? Liam won't have the guts to harm you if you step in as a Lord of Oceanic Continent.”

”Shut up, Pitt!” She has no interest in Underground World!

”Alright. Then, the more I need to keep an eye on that guy. If something happens to you when you are inside my territory, I have no face to show your dad and cousin. I want to be there close to you.”

”Of course. And regarding that matter, I already arranged something for you. I invested one billion dollars in Metro Group of Companies under Cole Holdings, which means you are Keith's business partner.”

Pitt pondered for a moment. ”Hmm… In that way, I am free to come into your boyfriend's world. Princess, what are you doing? Why did you let yourself become a mistress of someone's husband?”

”Pitt, remember... That someone is Bryan's girlfriend,” she sighed.

”Dammit! I want to beat up that guy again!” Pitt gritted his teeth.

”It doesn't matter anymore. Importantly, I will confirm if Liam's business has nothing to do with me. But in case he brings trouble to Metro City, I am ready to fight him. By the way, I want to assign Tom to protect Gigi.”

”Copy. We are now preparing to leave the island. See you later, Princess.”

”Okay.”

Hailey put down her phone on the table. She sat up from the sofa and strode towards the floor-ceiling window.

Her gaze traveled throughout the entire Metro City that reaches her eyes. In recent years, the city's economy has grown triple.

But one reason behind this success is the Underground World or known as Mafia Association.

Now, she's wondering. Whose family are members of the Mafia Association? Can it be one of them is the Lopezes'?

She is certain that one of Vincent's cousins is a Mafia member. They are qualified and could compete between territories.

Can it be Zaijan? Or Tyler? How about Rodney?

They were just a few of what she suspected.

And possibly, some of these members are from politics. Anyway, she could have the answer if she directly asks Shun.

And speaking of the devil, the Emperor of Mafia Association named Shun Crow is ringing her at the moment. Hailey picked up her phone and brought it close to her ear.

”Cousin?”

”Hey! What's up?” greeting from the other line.

”Hm... I know you did not phone me to have a chit-chat, right?” She said straightway. She heard Shun laughs from the other line.

”Hey. Cassandra missed you! When do you plan to visit us here in Mainland City?” he asked, dodging to reply to Hailey's query.

”I'll see it by this summer. You know I am trying to finish Dream City as soon as possible.”

”Hm. And finally, you found the architect you needed,” said Shun.

Hailey took her silence to ponder for a moment. She is sure that Shun already knew of her activities in Metro City. He has eyes everywhere.

”You already knew, right?” she said. There will be no other reason Shun would contact her out of the blue.

Phoning her right now proves that Shun had his eyes on her with something she did, and he didn't like it. And Liam's presence also possibly catches his attention.

”Well, yes, I ran an investigation. But I have other important matters to talk with you aside from the appearance of Western Asia Mafia Lords in P Country.”

”Lords? Then it's not only Liam who was here?” Could it be? Gigi must know!
