By the time the Cunninghams hurriedly reached the second floor of the hotel, all the cars had already been relocated from the parking lot, which was a spacious one that could accommodate nearly a thousand vehicles. It was owned by the hotel, where only visitors who attended their dinners and events were allowed to park their cars there. Therefore, it had never been in its full capacity prior to this, so it could easily make room for several hundreds of cars. Yet, all the vehicles parked at the parking lot had been moved away at the moment.
Luxurious automobiles like Ferrari and Lamborghini were not spared from being shifted away. The owners of those cars went to the parking lot and tried to stop it but they were ignored. The Cunninghams could see very clearly that some rich young masters were making a fuss over it, who ended up being beaten by the security officers of the hotel and were thrown out of the parking lot like they were bags of garbage.
“Who do you think the VIP is?” asked Lily, with admiration written all over her face. “I know those wealthy young masters who all come from families that own assets worth up to several hundreds of millions. Yet, those security officers actually dared to beat them up. It’s easy to see how powerful and influential that VIP is!”
“Those rich lads are nothing. Did you see that car? It’s a Rolls-Royce valued at eight million which belongs to a gang leader of North Street. While his car was being dragged away by a tow truck, the gang leader could only stand there and watch without having the guts to do anything!”
“That’s not all. Look at that—that Lamborghini which costs 1.7 million is owned by the successor to the Hamilton Family, who is one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliffe. But, his car was dragged away by the tow truck too.”
“Goodness gracious, what sort of big shot can that VIP be who isn’t intimidated by the Ten Greatest Families?”
Everyone was absorbed in heated discussions with anticipation written all over their faces. They couldn’t help but look up to the immensely powerful VIP with much reverence. That was not the end of everything. After all the cars had been moved away from the parking lot, over ten MPVs were driven over.
Charlie exclaimed in shock, “Who would own that many MPVs? They are all Toyota Alphards, which is an uncommon model here!”
“Not only is it uncommon, the point is, I’ve never seen so many Alphards gathering at the same place.”
“This is a model usually owned by movie stars because the seats are more comfortable, with enough space inside for them to get changed and do their make-up.”
“Wow, you’re spot-on. Look at that, it’s the superstar, Thomas Hiddlestone!”
“Where? Where? Where is he?”
“And there, it’s Stephanie McKay, one of the four most popular actresses at the moment!”
“Gosh, I can’t believe that she’s here!”
“Not only them, the top TV host—Mr. Henry is here too!”
“That many celebrities? Is one of the entertainment companies having their annual dinner here?”
“That’s not possible. Even if that is so, they won’t be influential enough to have the vehicles belonging to the people from the Ten Greatest Families moved away from the parking lot!”
“In that case, what other reason can possibly explain this extravaganza?”
Everyone was constantly crying and exclaiming in surprise because the scene was simply too mind-blowing. At that juncture, the entrance of the parking lot was suddenly opened.
Everyone widened their eyes as they turned to look at that direction when Charlie was the first to exclaim, “See, that’s the vintage model of Rolls-Royce owned by Old Master Lewis from the Ten Greatest Families!”
“Oh my goodness, look at that one at its back! The car belonged to Old Master Jackson, who is also one of the Ten Greatest Families!”
“Over there, it’s the car of the president of the largest company in Eastcliff…”
All of them exclaimed in surprise continuously as one luxurious car after another was driven into the parking lot. Every owner making his appearance was a highly respectable figure who was among the most influential and powerful big shots in the city and they were way out of the league of the Cunninghams.
Yet, the most staggering sight was, as they were entering, they automatically went on to take the spaces at the two sides of the parking lot. Every single one of them made sure the parking space in the middle was empty like they were just some supporting characters in a movie, making way for the leading actor who had yet to arrive. There was no doubt that those cars dared not occupy the parking space in the middle as though they were leaving it for some big shot.
Everyone went wide-eyed and open-mouthed in shock because those who were arriving were extremely prominent characters in the city. Who else could make them wait on him with s
