Wular city;
As the plane neared its destination, the flight attendant informed about the arrival.
"Young master, wake up." Silver woke up him from sleep. As Wil opened his eyes, Silver then said, "We have arrived…"
*Yawn* Stretching his hands, Wil looked at others who seemed to be awake already.
As he glanced at the right, he saw the sky is dark and saw the view of the city filled with lights everywhere…
Then, he turned his head to the left and found Scarlet was staring at him. As their eyes met, she smiled, "Seems like you had a good dream. You were smiling for a long time."
"Ah, Yes. Maybe… I don't know. I can't remember it anymore…"
He was surprised at first. In the next second, he remembered that he wasn't going on the trip, alone.
After spending a few hours while watching the music videos, Wil almost forgot about their existence and drifted into sleep.
Wil then looked at his siblings. Mia's face was glued to the window as she was looking down at the city. As for Rey, he was simply reading some kind of book.
By the time they landed and exited the gate, Wil found Hyori's family was waiting for him.
"Aster, please escort everyone to Hotel Greenpark. Silver, you are coming with me." Stepping on the moving walkway, he passed out quick orders to both of them.
As he wasn't controlling his tone, everyone also heard it.
While Scarlet wondered where he intended to go, Hyori's father who heard from his daughter understood that Wil might be visiting his company's branch office.
Sometimes, it would be hard for him to believe that Wil is the Chairman of a multi-billion dollar company like Scarlet Group, the biggest security company in the entire world.
Even though Sarton Street is pretty much an expensive neighborhood, it still isn't the most expensive area where the local millionaires live. Moreover, Leafway city is only a first-tier city with barely a million people reside.
But then, upon seeing the bodyguards, he would be reminded of Wil's identity and often gets worried about his daughters' friendship with him. Wil's polite behavior towards him doesn't ease his worries either.
Although he doesn't show it on his face, even now, Lee Sangmin still worries that something is going on between Wil and Hyori.
After all, as far as he knows, renting a private jet just costs around 3000-5000 dollars per hour flight on average. He estimated that the total round trip plus waiting charges would cost nearly a hundred thousand dollars. That's like a hundred and fifty times their monthly rental fee or 14 months of his annual income.
This is the reason Hyori's father didn't say that he would pay the money back and quietly accepted Wil's generosity.
Lee Sangmin always gave freedom to Hyori to choose her own life. Even if both of them end up dating, he would still bless them. However, in such a situation, he only hoped that his daughter chooses Wil, not because of his wealth but because of the person himself.
Having thoughts of confronting his daughter about their relationship, Lee Sangmin quietly followed the rest of them.
After others left for the hotel, Wil told Silver to call for the guards from the branch.
Silver was surprised by his order. Earlier, when they took off from Leafway city, Wil clearly said to him to not call anyone else. But now, he was saying the reverse.
He asked, "Young master, aren't we headed to the branch office?" Like Lee Sangmin, he too thought that Wil wanted to go to the company's branch.
If that's the case, then, there's no need to call them up. Just giving them a heads up would do while they grab a cab. Silver knew that Wil isn't the type to show off and make grand entrances. If anything, he is the type to quietly go to the branch.
Then, Why?
While the guards are on their way to the Airport, Silver fell into deep thoughts. A crazy thought appeared in his mind. To confirm it, he asked Wil.
Just like he feared, Wil revealed his true objective, "First, we go to the hospital to check up on the guards who are still lying on a bed. Then, we go to the Mayor's house to receive compensation for making me beat up my own employees.
Moreover, one of the restaurants that were in his city drugged me for some mere two thousand Yuan… As a Mayor for 15 years, it was his fault for not managing the city properly."
As Wil can't reveal that he was forced to sleep with some girl due to his drunken state that was caused by getting drugged, he made up a reason to make sure that he appears as the victim instead of being an assailant.
Silver just stared at him in silence. No one knows what he is feeling at the moment. After being silent for a while, he let out a deep sigh and looked at his mobile phone to call.
However, right then, a couple of girls stopped before them. One of them who looked to be in her early twenties asked, "Excuse me, you are Willard Ravens, right?"
"Eh?" "Huh?" Wil almost spilled the coffee that he was drinking and Silver quickly stood up on his feet in an alert.
"Do you know me?" Wil pointed to himself while blinking. He can't believe someone from this city recognized his face.
Upon getting the confirmation, the girl named Remi smiled widely, "I can't believe I'm meeting the Hero of Wular. Can I have a selfie with you?"
"Wait a second. Who are you guys?" As they pointed the mobile phones at Wil, Silver covered him like a bodyguard.
"We're college students. Because of Mr. Ravens, our city became free of drugs… Just one selfie, please… I swear I won't ask much." As the girl requested Silver, Wil who doesn't know what's going on, just went with the flow and agreed with it.
"What kind of lame title is that?" Wil muttered while he neared his face and took a selfie with her.
As they left while thanking him, Wil looked at Silver and asked what's going on.
Silver avoided his eyes and looked away for a few seconds. As Wil asked him again, Silver explained, "A few days ago, you put a complaint on that restaurant named Metropol, right... Taking advantage of it, the police commissioner started to raid the restaurants and bars. In the end, he gave the entire credit to you to tackle the higher-ups.
When we were contacted by the media, we created a story of how risked your life to gather evidence of the drug dealings after your friend got drugged and got cheated out of his money.
We further informed that you were being kidnapped by the driver after you were drugged but still managed to resist its effects and got free. With the evidence submitted to the police, the latter proceed with the raids and were able to seize hundreds of kilograms of stuff that were illegal to sell. The police commissioner also co-operated and went along with our story.
A couple of days ago, the Mayor himself announced you the Hero of Wular. The City council sent the banner to the branch office. I guess by now, they must have already sent it to the headquarters. "
Now, it was Wil's turn to become speechless.
