Seeing the gates open up to her grand estate, Xin was feeling more nervous than ever before. She didn't fail to notice that there were more men in suits than usual outside the gated driveway. There were even more standing outside the house itself.
'Was he worried that they would come after him as well after finding out about me?' The high school girl wondered.
She also thought that having all these guards was useless. In the end, when Xin had been kidnapped, it wasn't them who had come to rescue her. In her opinion, her father was just wasting his money and time with them.
Still, she understood a lot of the gang business, businessman, and government politics that went on. How they all needed to work together in nearly every city to do what they needed to do.
Unfortunately, it had become abundantly clear that although her father had joined hands with the Rising Dragon gang, it meant nothing in the face of one of Slough's big time gangs. Despite anything Mayor Clove might have promised during his election, the ones really in charge of the town were still the gangs… just like everywhere else.
Eventually, exiting out of the car, the two siblings walked up a grand staircase that led to their large front doors. The closer the high school girl came to those doors, the heavier her legs felt, seemingly about to buckle.
“Jayden.” Xin addressed her brother, stopping completely at the stairs now. “You will back me up, right?”
Jayden only glanced at her for a second, before letting out a small sigh. With that, he continued to go up the stairs. It wasn't a good sign, as it indicated that he wouldn't be able to shield her from what would come next.
After walking through the double doors, Xin's mother could be seen pacing back and forth, biting her fingernails at the entrance way to their home. As soon as she saw who came in, she ran right up to Xin giving her daughter a huge hug.
