Chapter 154

Chapter 154Lincoln, along with all of Hilda’s ex-classmates, were stupefied when they heard Kai and Josephine
speaking to each other. At that moment, Lincoln finally discovered the reason why Kai could have free
meals at the hotel.
A smile flashed across Kai’s face when he asked Josephine, “Are you jealous?”
“As if! Why would I be jealous?” Josephine rolled her eyes and continued, “My dad has been asking for
you recently! He wants you to join us for a meal at home!”
“In another few days, perhaps. I’ve got my hands full recently!” Kai rejected.
The guys at the scene were all staring at Kai with envy. They were dumbfounded by the fact that he
had just rejected an offer to dine with the Sullivan family.
A meal with the Sullivan family could potentially turn their life around for the better. They could not
understand why Kai would reject such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Hmph! What could you be so busy with? Maybe I should just appoint you as the chairman of the
company! By then, you wouldn’t be as busy anymore.” Josephine wasn’t happy with Kai’s rejection.
“Oh, don’t! I have no time to manage the company for you!” Kai hurriedly waved his hands in dismissal.
Again, the people around, especially Lincoln and the others Kai had just had dinner with, were stunned
by Kai’s reaction.
Just a few hours ago, they were all taking turns to ridicule Kai. But right at that moment, they felt so
insignificant standing in front of him.
“I don’t care. You must come over tomorrow. My dad said Mr. Grange had asked him to invite you. So
maybe there’s a solid reason for that,” Josephine said in a domineering tone.After finding out that it was Walter who wished to see him, Kai accepted the offer instantaneously, as
he reckoned that it might have something to do with the spiritual brush. “All right then. I’ll go over at
noon tomorrow.”
“That’s more like it.” Finally, a blissful smile emerged on Josephine’s face. Then she gazed at Lincoln
and the others.
As they locked eyes with Josephine, they could not help but lower their heads in embarrassment.
“Detain all of them! As long as we aren’t paid in full, none of them is allowed to leave!”
The security guards moved quickly to lock all of them up in a room behind the payment counter.
While they were being locked up, they were all regretting their actions. If only they hadn’t mocked Hilda
endlessly, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament. After all, they had nothing against Hilda.
They were just doing it under the influence of Lincoln and Michelle.
novelbinHowever, it was too late for them to realize their mistakes. Knowing that it was Lincoln and Michelle’s
fault, they could no longer contain their anger and started beating the duo up.
Meanwhile, Josephine offered to give Kai a ride home. However, he refused because Josephine’s
luxury car would attract too much attention. Therefore, Josephine could only let out a sigh as she
watched Kai driving away in his Ford.
After Kai had arrived home, he called Hilda to let her know that he had gotten home safely. He then
found out that Hilda was sleeping over at Yolanda’s place. She had decided to stay over and comfort
Yolanda.
Kai’s parents were already asleep when he got back. He then sat with his legs folded and started
absorbing spiritual energy with his Focus Technique.The spiritual energy in the surroundings then gathered up around Kai. However, the spiritual energy
there was too little compared to what he could gain when he was at Dragon Bay. Hence, his ability
wasn’t improved by much throughout the night. He could only replenish the spiritual energy within him.
It seems like I’m not getting anywhere with the spiritual energy available here. I have to get back to
Dragon Bay. It’s impossible to improve myself if I keep staying here!
