It wasn't long before Uncle Shark learned that the men following Adrienne were the mercenaries Waylen Jiang hired to deal with Adrienne. The gravity of the situation hung heavily over them as Adrienne and Hunter received the news.

Uncle Shark asked curiously, noticing the seriousness on Hunter's face while their young miss remained calm and collected, as if the threat hovering over her didn't bother her at all. 

"You know their boss, Uncle Shark?" Adrienne raised a brow at him. Uncle Shark chuckled, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "Oh, I know hi, alright."
