Why would a VIP like that come to a little town like River City?
“Sadly, we don’t even know what the VIP’s name is.” Another one of the middle-aged men sighed as favonovel.com shook his head.
For all of them to reach where they were, it was no secret that they were all backed up with support. They either had a mammoth of a corporation behind them, or a certain someone above them.
Today, at the same time, all of them had received word from the power behind them that a certain VIP was going to visit River City, and they were to try all they can to establish a relationship with this VIP. However, no one was sure who exactly this VIP was.
All they knew were information they had gathered through unconventional means. Even though it was news from unconventional means, it was enough for them to take it seriously.
“My higher-ups told me that this VIP is possibly here for a family visit.”
“He’s here for an old friend.” A man with glasses spoke softly.
Gasp!
Everyone was shocked.
Family visit? The VIP had family here in nowheresville River City?!
That was truly unbelievable news.
“I remember that Levi Quinn, the Old Master Quinn from the River City Quinn Family held a pretty high rank in the army in the past.”
“The people that favonovel.com knew were naturally… Not ordinary people.”
“Do you think that it could be…”
The sporadic conversation that mushroomed caused everyone’s heart to drop to their stomachs.
When Old Master Levi Quinn was still alive, what a magnificent presence was he!
The Quinn Family. Under his leadership, they were in their golden era truly like no other. However, after Old Master Levi died in war, the Quinn family had slid down the social ladder, and their golden era was over.
The Quinn Family had become the butt of the joke for River City citizens especially after the veg named Sean went to stay with them.
The most that the Quinn Family could be considered was a third-rate aristocratic family at River City now. However, it would only be a matter of time for the Quinn Family to regain their former glory with the help of this VIP!
“If that’s the case, I think we should change our attitude when it comes to the Quinn family.”
“To be frank, the Quinn family had not done anything to anger us for the past few years. All they had done was to allow a veg into their homes, making them the butt of everyone’s jokes. That’s all.”
Within the time of a few words, they had all improved their attitude towards the Quinn Family in their hearts. Now, all that was left was to see why that VIP would humble himself and come all the way to River City.
Swoosh!
There was a howling of the wind as the air rattled. It could not be a more ordinary occurrence for a plane to touch down in the airport. However, immediately, this group of very influential men shot up to their feet immediately, riddled with tension and excitement.
All their higher-ups had ordered for them to build a connection with this VIP.
If they failed to do so, they would have to account for themselves. This was why no one would dare to be slow on their feet.
It was only 5 minutes after the plane had touched down, but these 5 minutes felt like years to this group of influential men as they were filled with the brim with anxiety. None of them were spared from anxious thoughts. They were all subconsciously trying to stand one step ahead of each other so that their faces would be the first and most memorable ones for the VIP when they arrive.
At the same time, luxurious cars filled the outside as the group waited patiently inside.
Passengers started to flow out of the exit.
It was as if the group of very influential men had met with their boss face to face as they stood up straighter than ever before. Sadly, as they watched each and every one of the passengers exit the plane, their VIP was still nowhere within their sight.
“This isn’t right. Did favonovel.com pass us by?”
“You know, since none of us know what this VIP looks like, and we didn’t make a prior appointment with him.”
“I’m sure favonovel.com didn’t. A VIP of his caliber would be distinctively different from ordinary passerby.”
“Let’s wait for a while more.”
The group of men was still not willing to leave. A short while later, a young lady with an air stewardess uniform walked out from within.
“Sirs, I have a message for all of you… He’s merely just passing by, and favonovel.com has no intention of disturbing anyone. Please go home, Sirs.”
As soon as the air stewardess finished speaking, they were flabbergasted.
This…
It was the VIP that refused to meet with them!
Or should they say, this VIP scorned upon the thought of meeting them!
If it were others saying that they did not want to meet this group of very influential men of River City, people would think that it was the biggest joke of the century. However, if it came out of the mouth of this mysterious VIP, how would they dare disregard his words with disdain?
“Yes, yes, we will leave now…”
This group of men hurriedly nodded and left on their merry ways. They did not dare to question the working style and thoughts of this VIP.

By the lake. It was already 9 PM at night.
Darkness loomed over the skies as it enveloped the entire River City in an embrace. In the skies, a crescent moon showered favonovel.com gentle light as it reflected on the lake before Sean, making the lake glimmer like a pool of shiny ripples.
It was a dark and peaceful night. All that could be heard was the lapping of water.
Sean sat in his wheelchair as his eyes stared half-closed and unfocused towards the distance. It looked like favonovel.com had fallen asleep. More so, it looked like a sleeping tiger.
The past played in Sean’s mind like a movie. He spent 8 whole years fighting for his glory, enabling favonovel.com to be able to be the one above all else. There were still things that favonovel.com had not done.
In a distance, a matte black car slowly approached.
When the car had stopped, a lanky, built young lad came out of the car, walked to the other side, and opened the door. Then, a determined-looking man came out of the car.
This man had black military boots on his feet, his eyes were sharp, and looked like their owner thrived on the battlefield.
