Chapter 8:

“Joanna, don’t let things regarding that bastard get you worked up. How was he severe with the Hayes family?”

Norah remarked, taking a drink, and then replied, “The Hayes family head plans to visit us himself, but we’re in for a bit of a wait. Norah, have you considered disguising yourself? If the Hayes family figures out who you are, it could spell trouble for you.”

Joanna felt a pang of regret for her lapse in caution that led them here. Thankfully, Norah didn’t hold it against her. If Norah had, Joanna would have been kicking herself.

“It’s all good,” Norah said, pouring a glass of red wine and taking a leisurely sip. “He’s seeking my help, so he ought to approach with humility and ensure my identity’s safe. That’s his duty, wouldn’t you agree?”

Joanna pinned her gaze on Norah. “Exactly. Let me fill you in on the Hayes family head. His name is Hayes. He took charge of the military two years back and really showed some backbone. You might not know much about him. Rumor has it he was involved in covert ops in his army days. I’ve barely crossed paths with him.”

Among the elite descendants of Glophia, few had any direct dealings with Kason. They only knew of his feats from tales spun by their elders.

Norah found herself pondering Kason. His name rang a bell.

She ended the call and waved her phone, announcing, “Norah, he’s here. Should we head to a chamber?”

“Sounds good.”

Norah and Joanna made their way to a secluded chamber on the club’s third floor. This space boasted karaoke, massage spots for unwinding, and cozy lounges.

Settling on a couch in the chamber, the door suddenly burst open. A group of bodyguards entered, flanking a man whose presence was commanding and frosty.

“Excuse me, are you Joanna?” The man’s voice had a cold edge to it. His face was obscured by the light, making it difficult to make out his features, but his towering figure emanated a chilling presence.
