Chapter 74

Stellar retrieved his wallet from his pocket.

He took out an old hundred-dollar bill he had treasured for years and stuffed it into Nash’s hands. “You get a hundred dollars. Nothing more!”

Nash did not hesitate to stuff the dollar bill into his pocket.

Then, he strode over to the warden.

The corner of Stellar’s lips curved upward slightly. “Insatiable villain…”

The Smiling Grim Reaper had carried out 72 assassination missions.

He was rewarded with a hundred million dollars for every mission he completed.

Which meant he had earned at least several billion dollars.

He was so rich, but he had still taken a hundred dollars from him.

The Lee family cleared the corpse and bloodstains from the scene.

Then, the various families began offering birthday gifts.

The banquet proceeded in an orderly manner.

Heads of the five highest-ranking families took turns sharing a table with the warden.

Nash and Stellar stood on the sidelines.

“Warden, Mr. Lee. I think we should allow the Smiling Grim Reaper to take a seat too. The banquet wouldn’t even be happening if it weren’t for what he did today!”

Walter suggested.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

Mr. Lee had already heard of what happened just now, and he waved at Nash, “Young man… Come sit with us!”

Nash’s eyes were closed, and he remained unmoving.

The warden laughed when he saw that and said, “You’re injured. Hurry over and sit down so you can rest!”

Nash remained unmoving.

He had accepted a payment, which meant he was now a bodyguard.

It was a rule of his.

When Walter realized the Smiling Grim Reaper would disobey even the warden himself, he had no choice but to hurriedly make a toast to divert the attention and mask his embarrassment.

The warden sighed, “He’s got a unique identity and has principles that he abides to. Let’s not put any more pressure on him!”

The various heads of families all chuckled and began making toasts to Mr. Lee and the warden.

Just then, a patrol officer hurried toward Henderson and said quietly, “Chief, three helicopters are approaching…”

Henderson immediately wiped the smile off his face and frowned while asking, “Where are they from?”

The officer replied, “I think… they’re private helicopters belonging to the Skyes from Capiton!”

Why were the Skyes from Capiton here as well?

A surprised look appeared in Henderson’s eyes before he immediately replied, “Ignore them!”

The Skyes’ businesses were spread across the globe.

Multiple members of their people worked in the General Administration Office as well.

It was probable that it was just Mr. Lee’s former comrades dropping by to wish him a happy birthday.

Soon, the helicopter landed at a nearby basketball court.

A group of plump and greasy men strode over.

The person leading them was a young man wearing a tailcoat.

He was tall, handsome, and dashing.

It was as if he were an international superstar.

The young man held a bouquet in his hand as he strode over to the tables.

“Greetings, warden. I am Theo Skye of the Skye family from Capiton!”

Theo bowed to the warden.

“Greetings, warden!”

The other members of the Skye family followed suit and bowed.

The warden smiled, “We’re all friends here, no need for such formalities!”

Theo smiled and handed the bouquet in his arms to Mr. Lee, “Happy birthday, Grandpa!”

Mr. Lee took the bouquet and smiled.

Shining drops of drool trickled down from the corners of his mouth.

Joseph hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his father’s mouth clean.

Theo turned to look at Nash, and he winked at him.

Nash nodded in acknowledgment before once again closing his eyes.

“Mr. Skye, we have an available seat here. Please, do take a seat!”

Walter immediately stood and dragged out the empty chair next to him.

He was trembling from head to toe from excitement.

Theo was the future head of the Skye family.

The Skye family had built a business empire so powerful that the five families would not have been able to replicate it even if they joined forces.
