Chapter 3 News About Brinley

Outside the hall, Austin chased after Randolph.

When he saw that Randolph was about to get in the car and leave, Austin ran as fast as his legs would allow him.

"Sir, please wait!"

All of a sudden, his eyes caught something.

On the index finger of Randolph's left hand, he saw the Hovenant Ring, which was the token of the Hovenant Gang.

As soon as he saw this, Austin's jaw slacked. Whoever possessed this ring must be the leader of the Hovenant Gang.

Austin staggered a few steps back and performed a deep bow in front of Randolph.

"Sir, my name is Austin Hewitt, and I'm the acting leader of the Hovenant Gang. Since you have the Hovenant Ring, that means you must be our leader. I didn't recognize you before. Please forgive me. I will accept any punishment that you deem necessary."

Randolph twiddled with the Hovenant Ring on his finger and said nothing.

When there was no reply, Austin added, "I have drawn a clear line with the Truman family. From now on, I will no longer have any contact with them."

Hearing this, a small smile broke on Randolph's lips, making Austin exhale in relief.

"Sir, the Trumans have been disrespect to you earlier. Do you want me to deal with them?" Austin asked.

"No need," Randolph responded indifferently. "I'll handle it myself. You can go back first, and if there's anything you need to know, I will tell you."

Austin's heart almost leapt out in joy. It was a privilege for him to take orders from the leader of the Hovenant Gang.

"Yes, sir!"

After that, he respectfully saw Randolph off.

In the car, James was reporting some information to Randolph.

The arrival of the owner of Dark Prison Island in Crystalville had naturally caused quite a stir.

Even though Randolph had tried his best to keep a low profile, his presence alone was still enough to stress people out.

They prepared well for this situation just to avoid offending this big shot.

"Sir, Mayor Neal Bates called. He has prepared a welcome banquet for you in Southsure Manor. All the officials, wealthy businessmen, as well as celebrities in Crystalville will also be there. Neal wanted to ask if you are available."

Randolph nodded. "Okay. I will be there."

As he said that, an image of a beautiful girl came to his mind.

"How's the investigation that I've told you to do?" he asked.

After leaving Dark Prison Island, the first order he gave was to investigate the situation of his girlfriend, Brinley, during the last five years.

"Sir, we have already found something," James replied at once.

After saying that, he told Randolph everything he had discovered about Brinley.

"According to the information, Miss Selleck is currently attending a party. The name of the host is Meade Curtis. However, most of the attendees of that party are either escorts or department managers of small companies."

As he spoke, he took out files about Meade and handed them to Randolph.

"Meade has a terrible reputation in Crystalville. He's found in night clubs almost every day. He also happens to be one of Miss Selleck's suitors. As of right now, he has already expressed his love to Miss Selleck in public a total of forty-eight times. However, all of them were refused by Miss Selleck. Today is actually the first time that Miss Selleck had agreed to Meade's invitation to a party."

When Randolph heard this, his face crinkled to a frown.

Brinley was attending a party that was being hosted by her suitor. Did that mean anything?

Had she fallen in love with someone else after those five years?

As these thoughts swirled in his head, a glimmer of guilt and sadness crept in his eyes.

Memories of everything that had happened between him and Brinley flooded his mind.

"Is it because that I've been gone for so many years that you couldn't bear to be alone?"

This type of thought crowded in Randolph's mind.

"Sir, we have received the latest news." James' voice pulled Randolph back to reality.

He turned to him and said, "Go ahead."

James cleared his throat and began speaking. "The intelligence team has found that someone plans to harm Miss Selleck at the party tonight."

Immediately, Randolph's eyes turned cold.

"We're going to that party right now."
