Chapter 212 - 211: The Mafia Boss

When Eunji finished her greetings, two three-layered birthday cakes were then being pushed towards the center.

Eunji then slowly walked down from the stage but since Nathan was afraid that she might trip and fell down, he immediately ran towards his side to support her.

"Thank you." She said.

Nathan was indeed surprised by everything, and he was so happy deep inside his heart.

"May I ask Sister Yuki to come forward as well?" Eunji called Celine.

Just like Nathan, Celine or Yuki was still in disbelief for everything that was going on.

With Eunji's lead, everyone sang the birthday song for the two celebrants.

The visitors who didn't know about the birthday celebration were both ashamed that they didn't bring any birthday gifts for them.

Celine and Nathan both told them that it was okay because they were not informed beforehand.

After the banquet, the guests left the hall one by one.

Those guests who only came tonight were surprised to know that the most coveted bachelor was now tied to someone.

Someone whose background they thought were pretty basic.

The second big news was that Nathan and Celine were actually siblings who were separated when they were still children.

But could they really write a malicious report to be published to the public tomorrow?

Well, who would dare?

Nathan's PR and legal team were working overnight to check every article that would be published tomorrow.

Those who aimed to sugar coat everything with sweet words were immediately rejected. And the opposite ones were torn into pieces directly.

The writers and editor-in-chief of the press and the media didn't know whether they should either laugh or cry.

If they were going to tear or reject their proposed articles, then, does that not mean that they didn't want them to really write something?

While they were having a dilemma and working overtime, Nathan, Eunji and the rest were sleeping soundly at the comforts of their bed.

The following morning. News about those big topics broke out on the internet after Bai Corp. released a statement that their CEO and Chairman of the Board was now legal married to Missus Bai.

As for the details of her name and background, this was found.

Name: Bai Eunji

Occupation: Retired Photographer

Pseudonym: EL

Eunji had already known about this. In fact, it was her who gave the information to her trusted reporter. She won't be attending any fashion shows in the future so it was okay to disclose it. Maybe?

She looked different when she's EL and she believed that those previous photos of EL could not gave way how she really looked for real.

And besides, that was the least shocking information that could be revealed about her anyways.

But for her fans, it was a big deal!

Who would have thought that the great EL had left the fashion world to get married to the person who was non-other than Nathaniel Bai?

Since no clear shots of her face were taken, EL's fans were frustrated.

They saw her wearing that signature eyepatch. And only those who had seen her in person had a chance to see the front view of her face. The rest were all side profiles and the likes. But still they could tell that she's really pretty.

However, they still wanted to see a clear view of her face with minimal make up.

All they could see her side profile which was slightly covered by Nathan's body in the photo.

Even so, they screamed on top of their lungs when they saw even a little bit. Especially when they saw how beautiful the dress she was wearing and her dress was done on a messy bun showing off her sexy collar bones and slender neck.

"Gorgeous."

Another two months had passed and a lot of things happened.

Eunji was now four months pregnant while Kelly and Alice were on their later stage of second trimester.

But because she was carrying triplets, her belly looked like that of a six months pregnant belly.

"Eunji yah, you should control your diet. Or else, you would be having a hard time giving birth." Kelly told her.

They were gathering in the living room of Nathan and Eunji's mansion while the boys were on Nathan's study.

The heater in the entire house were on to keep them warm despite the really cold weather outside.

Eunji however didn't mind Kelly as she continued eating orange.

Seeing the worries in the face of the two woman with her, she sighed and finally placed the fruit down.

These days, she easily got hungry and she would be in a foul mood if she would not eat something.

Miraculously, Eunji didn't gain much weight. At least she didn't no longer looked skinny. She looked healthier instead.

These two should be exaggerating but Eunji had eaten half of the big fruit basket and earlier during lunch, they watched her two servings of her food which was really not little at all.

Eunji pouted and could only look at them.

The girls decided to visit her since they thought she was bored at home.

Of course, Eunji was used to those activities with adrenaline rush and stuff before.

Also, Nathan had been so over protective of her.

If the latter was not around, two private nurses and two caregivers would be following behind her wherever she went.

She also seldom went outside since Nathan was around.

All she did was to read books and or do something on her computer. But still it was on a limited time as radiation would harm the babies.

Nathan had even customized the fabric of her clothes with anti-radiation materials.

While they were having a good time, Nathan, Mo Jing-sheng, Kim Jeong Ho and Hua Zhang Wei were talking about a very important matter.

"What did you say?" Hua Zhang Wei asked.

"The Don of a US mafia would be coming to the country tonight." Mo Jing-sheng said.

"I guess he would be coming over to the country to talk to us and renegotiate." Mo Jing-sheng added.

"Our country's underground economy had been peaceful since we had subdued those big gangs and mafias last month." Hua Zhang Wei expressed.

"Exactly! Because we cut all ties to those who didn't agree to our terms. We only do smuggling of guns and ammunitions, cars and the likes but never drugs and human trafficking." Kim Jeong Ho spoke.

"Is he coming over to threaten us then? Should we ban him from coming here? We can do that." Hua Zhang Wei asked the other three.

"No. Let's see what he wanted to say to us. Let's not forget about the fact that he's not only a mafia don but also a legitimate business man, too." Nathan finally spoke.

"Are you implying that you're going to meet him?" Kim Jeong Ho asked Nathan.

"Yes."

Though he already had established a group in the underworld years back, Nathan only unleashed his strength a couple of months ago after he learned of Eunji's identity.

He wanted those leaders from the underworld in the whole district and region to worship him as their king. Just in case the likes of Jake would appear in the country, he would be the first person to know.

The Underworld Lord had established this rule to pay respect to the head of the district before doing something.

For example, if a mafia leader hired a mercenary to kill someone from another region, that mafia leader had to inform the district head of that district.

If he'd allow the request, then he'd be allowed to go there and kill his subject.

But if it's on the opposite, he could not kill the target under the protection of the district head.

Now Nathan was the district head of East Asia where the countries of China, Japan and South Korea belonged. He was also the region head of Asia.

However, even if something like that had existed, there were those who would oppose to it and do it on their own.

Thus, they had to be punished by the Lord and the council where Nathan was a member, too.

"But we won't just sit back if they would do anything stupid right in our nose." Nathan finally added.

Nathan then told Master Mo and Hua Zhang Wei to make proper arrangements.

"Does sister-in-law knew this side of yours Nate?" Mo Jing-sheng asked after he received Nathan's instructions.

But instead of answering him, Nathan asked him back.

"Can you afford to tell this to Kelly then?"

Of course Mo Jing-sheng could not tell Kelly about this.

What Kelly knew was that they had people heavily trained to protect them.

And the fact that his paternal family were from a military family, it would be a big slap on the face.

The former Patriarch Mo did got involved with some activities in the underworld for precautionary measures. And Madame Mo had no ideas about it.

It's inevitable if you wanted to survive the pressure from both sides.

"No." Mo Jing-sheng answered him.

"Though I didn't tell her, sooner or later she'll eventually found out. She's smart as hell." Nathan told him.

Hua Zhang Wei chuckled as he heard that.

"That's new!" He said.

"Her intuition was really so sharp. That's why I am so careful. She had abandoned this world but here I am, hiding the fact that I am involved with it."

"That's the point." Mo Jing-sheng pointed out.

"I'm just hoping that she would be okay with it. I'm doing this to protect her. I don't want to be the same guy who would be clueless of what was happening around her. Jake was already my warning. There's more to come after her… if news of her being alive comes out." Nathan was really worried about that.

As a guy who was not originally born from this complicated world, everything would be so hard for him to accept all at once.

It was only then when he was trained under the Johnsons that he was introduced to this.

At first, he could not accept it.

He was a man who vowed to follow and obey the law. He served the military before so it was unacceptable.

That was also then that he realized that there were things and situations that the law could not be applied. Even those who were supposed to impose the law were the first people to violate it.

When it comes to power and money, the law would be forgotten.

He knew that this path was really wrong. But for the sake of the people he cared the most, he would happily close his eyes and do everything just to protect them.

"Ha! How dare they provoke the right hand of the Lord." Hua Zhang Wei spoke.

"Yes! Let's see who had the courage to do so." Kim Jeong Ho seconded.

"I see. Then, know that we'll always be here for you, brother." Mo Jing-sheng said.

"Thank you First Bro, everyone. I'm so sorry for dragging you into this mess." Nathan sincerely apologized.

"Nah. As someone whose born into something like this, it's just right that I should be there to guide you." Hua Zhang Wei said.

Yes, Hua Zhang Wei was the heir of one of the infamous mafia in Beijing.

However, his personality didn't fit really well with the ruthlessness of the people from the underworld. He was just so softhearted and easy going. Among them, he would be the first person who would hesitate to hold a gun.

Still his father wanted him to man up. He started to change when his father told him that if he would not change, then his younger brother would inherit it.

Nathan learned about this so he talked with Patriarch Hua.

He asked Patriarch Hua if he could manage their organization in behalf of Hua Zhang Wei. And so, Hua Zhang Wei would only have to focus on the company instead.

But still, Hua Zhang Wei knew about the ins and outs of the business.

"I know. And thank you."

Nathan then looked at the sky up above.

Today's the twenty-third of the month and it's going to be a holiday two days after.

"So, any plans for Christmas?" Hua Zhang Wei said as he tried to change the mood.

"What about we go to the island where you and sister-in-law had your honeymoon?"

"Right. A lot of things had happened to us this year. Why not have some days off? A family vacation would be good."

"Nah, low travel would be tiring for them."

"Then?"

"Let's go back to Hainan then. Mom and Dad would be delighted to see you guys there."

"Okay. I'll talk to Eunji about this." Nathan said.
