“Master is always busy, and he doesn’t like unexpected visitors.”
“Please, the case that we wish to talk to him about is very serious. We wouldn’t be ungrateful, and we only need a few minutes.” My father said,
He looked at me first, then he nodded to another, who took his phone and made a phone call. They used their language, so I understood nothing, but when he hung up the phone, he nodded to the other.
“You are allowed in the land. Our people will wait for you at the door. Master is welcoming you two.”
He bowed, and I bowed back. I sat back in the car, and I drove to the house. Before I opened the car door, I looked at my father.
u want to stay instead?”
“Do you
He shook his head.
“No, son, I have to hear that. We must find him.”
a suit awaited us.
I only nodded, then we both left the car. The door opened, and another Asian man in a sui
“Please, follow me.” He said, and we did what he said.
We stopped at a door, and he opened it and bowed.
“Master is waiting for you.”
“Thank you.” I said.
The room was light. A man in his forties, maybe, sat on a huge leather sofa with two attractive women wearing dresses that covered little.
When he saw us, he said something to the surrounding women. Probably he wanted them to leave as they stood up immediately and left the room. He motioned for us to sit down. We sat opposite him on another leather sofa.
Liang Huan looked at me deep in the eye, then he moved his gaze to my father,
“Master Liang, please accept my deepest thanks for allowing us to see you.”
-He nodded.
“What is
is the matter?” He asked, like he only wanted to hear the reason we came. Actually, that was what we wanted as well.
“Master Lign
“Master Liang certainly knows that we are part of the biggest organisation of Los Angeles. The Sullivans recently joined the D’angelis.”
He frowned, then he smiled.
“Very interesting what you say, Mr. Sullivan, as I heard it otherwise.”
I looked at him suddenly.
“Anyone told you
you otherwise is lying. My master is ruling the whole state.”
“Let’s say I believe you. Then what I could help
with?”
“Signor D’angeli’s daughter, Alice, disappeared this morning, and her fiance, who is my younger brother, Gideon, disappeared as well. I’m hoping that you know about this case, and you will help us get them back in one piece.”
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Sullivan, but I’m afraid this time we aren’t on the same side.”
His expression was weird, and I felt my father was moving his hand. 1 assumed he wanted to hold his gun, so I quickly held his hand like I just wanted to keep him calm.
“Do you know about them?” my father asked, but I put I patted his arm to stop him speaking.

“Please, Master, Signor D’angeli and the Sullivans would give you a lot if you would tell us about their whereabouts.”
“I already got a lot to get the job done.” He stated.
I took a deep breath. His words made me shiver, and I felt and anger like I could kill him instantly, but I tried to keep myself calmed. I took my phone from my pocket.
“Would you be that kind and listen to our offer at least?” I tried to hold my voice back from trembling.
He was thinking for a moment, then he looked deep into my eyes. I hoped that meant he could be bribed easily.
“Go on.”
I rang Riccardo, and I put my phone in the middle of the small table between us. He answered his phone immediately.
“Seth? Could you talk to him?”
“Riccardo, we are sitting here with him, listening to you. He wants to hear your offer to have Alice and Gideon back.”
“Master Liang, Greetings.”
“Master D’angeli, I’m all ears.”
“Master Liang, my daughter and her fiance mean a lot to me. I think I don’t have to explain how much a parent could give to their children. I want them back in one piece as soon as possible.”
He raised one of his eyebrows.
“A lot? How much are they worth to you?”

“I would pay for you
or you the triple amount of what you got from whoever made this order, and I can offer my friendship and protection if you time in California.”
“I received a hundred thousand dollars for the job.”
“That means I would pay you three hundred thousand, then.”
He lifted his eyebrow up again.
“And protection in California?”
