The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 2244

Mario had worked his way up to this point on his own, and he was so astute that he noticed the eye contact between Jagoan, Jadon, and the rest.

However, he pretended not to see it. Whether it was due to his relationship with Jadon or the fact that he had always chosen to keep his nose out of any affairs in Ocean City, he would not spread today’s events.

“Ol’ Winters, arrange a room for Mr. Lake to rest here for the night…” Jadon looked at Mario and said.

Mario nodded and responded, “Of course, Mr. Lake is Greenview Hotel’s platinum member. We’ll naturally take good care of him.”

“Let’s ignore him and drink then!” Jadon glanced at the sleeping Titus and said with a laugh

While Jagoan and others were drinking to their hearts’ content, Kennedy and Curtis sat at home with gloomy expressions. Only a few insect chirps rang outside the yard in the night.

“Dad, are we just going to forget what happened today?” Curtis asked in a deep voice, hatred glimmering in his eyes.

Kennedy glanced at him, slowly got up, and looked up at the stars.

“The Lake family is no longer what it used to be. With our power now, few people in Ocean City dare to oppose the Lake family! Jagoan’s just a little bastard from out of town. How dare he send me coffins because Michael, Theodore, and Jadon have his back!”

“Tell me everything you know about Jagoan…” Kennedy said slowly.

Curtis’s expression changed slightly before he slowly said,” As far as I know, Jagoan owns Optimus Security Services and Optimus Clinic. He seems to be a skilled doctor. He treated Theodore and Michael, which is why they’re with him. I don’t know his story with Jadon yet… Also, Optimus Security Services’ members are strong. They seem to have wiped out the Crimson as well.”

Curtis froze. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “It’s highly likely. Christopher has asked Crimson’s assassins to kill Jagoan before. Other than that, Crimson hasn’t taken on any assignments lately.”

Kennedy nodded slightly and looked at Ocean City’s bright lights in the distance.

His eyes full of the vicissitudes of life glimmered in the dark with an unknown brilliance. No one knew what the head of the Lake family was thinking.

When Kennedy said nothing, Curtis left.

In front of outsiders, he was the arrogant heir of the Lake family, but only he knew that he was an heir better kept under the table to Kennedy.

The night was silent until the next morning.
