Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Amias Lee_1

“Have you heard? Fabian Percival was almost killed in an assassination attempt today!”

Itai Huntington wore a pink trench coat, a straw in her mouth, sipping on juice as she looked down.

She had received the news half an hour ago.

Two men had made their move in a dilapidated warehouse at the Gonzalez City docks and had almost finished off Fabian Percival.

All of Fabian Percival’s bodyguards were down, but fortunately, Rocco Leocadia, one of the Four King Kongs, stepped in and saved this important figure who had just returned to Gonzalez City yesterday.

“I know, an old one and a young one. The old one’s good at poisoning, the young one’s strong as an ox. They used fists and an old Jetta as their tools of the crime.”

Julius Reed glanced at Itai Huntington, his face full of disdain.

“By the way, don’t keep asking me out all the time. My wife has something to say about it, you know? If it weren’t for Fabian Percival being a bit tricky, I wouldn’t bother meeting you.”

Having said that, he leaned back in his seat, stretched lazily, and cast a glance outside the window.

Karen had called him before boarding a plane.

She basically described the process of the crime, then complained for a while, and finally advised Julius Reed not to go to the capital.

That old and young pair, indeed, were quite interesting.

“Hey! Do you have any idea how many men in Gonzalez City would want to sit in your seat, to drink juice with me and enjoy the view outside the window?”

Itai Huntington gave him a blank look and huffed lightly, “You don’t know how good you have it.”

“I’m not fortunate enough to enjoy it!”

Julius Reed jiggled his empty cup and looked at the waiter: “Here, refills are free, aren’t they?”

“Yes, sir. Would you like a refill?”

A neatly dressed waiter stood beside them, smiling as he answered.

This was the Royal Fruit Garden in Gonzalez City.

A very high-end and classy fruit tea shop.

Located on the fifth floor of Imperial Building in the city center, it was known for its extremely elegant style and high prices.

Of course, the service was also impeccable.

Each table had its own dedicated waiter, very attentive.

“What’s that you’re drinking?”

Julius Reed pointed to Itai Huntington’s cup and asked, “Looks good, all red.”

“This is called ‘Forever Young, Sweet and Lovely Beauty Drink that makes you younger with just one sip Tea.’”

Itai Huntington raised her eyebrows playfully, sipping from her straw.

“Waiter, what’s that thing called?”

Julius Reed shook his head in resignation, looking at the waiter.

“Sir, your girlfriend wasn’t kidding, that’s the name of the tea. It’s quite popular among ladies in our shop,” the waiter answered politely.

“Damn, it’s true!”

Julius Reed coughed to ease the awkwardness and pointed at his own cup: “Then mine is called Tall, Handsome, and Desirable National Husband…”

“Yours is called ‘Earn Money Well.’”

Itai Huntington chuckled, cutting off Julius Reed’s words.

“For real!”

The waiter, seeing Julius Reed’s astonished face, nodded and said.

“Turns out there’s a difference between men and women here! And by the way, I have a wife, so don’t talk nonsense.”

What does it mean your girlfriend is right? He and Itai Huntington were completely innocent, without a single inappropriate thought.

Isn’t that spoiling his own reputation?

“Understood! A wife is a wife, a girlfriend is a girlfriend. You have a wife, but that doesn’t prevent you from having a girlfriend,” the waiter said with a slight smile as he picked up the cup and turned to go to the counter for a refill.

“What kind of place is this!”

Julius Reed looked around at all the couples in the room with a blank expression and shook his head: “No wonder there are so many couples here, they’re all out for a good time.”

“Miss Huntington?”

Just then, a voice suddenly came through.

The two looked up to see a young man dressed in a high-end custom suit, leading several bodyguards, striding towards them.

“Amias Lee?”

Itai Huntington narrowed her eyes and quickly stood up, reverting to her previous cold demeanor, “Young Master Lee, what brings you to Gonzalez City?”

“I missed you, so I came over to see you.”

Amias Lee glanced at Julius Reed, then at Itai Huntington, “I was planning to visit your company to surprise you. But the people there said you were out on business. I had someone locate you and finally found your car here.”

He reached out his hand, and someone immediately handed him a bouquet of flowers.

“It’s been a while, how have you been?”

“Are you following me?”

Itai Huntington’s expression soured.

“What do you mean by following? Everyone in the capital knows I like you. My father is also aware of my trip to Gonzalez City. Itai, come back with me. Such a small place is not suitable for you.”

Amias Lee showed no sign of realization, casually placing the flowers on the table.

“Young Master Lee must be joking. In the capital, what kind of woman can’t you have? Why insist on me alone?”

Itai Huntington did not take the flowers, nor did she say no, but her meaning was clear.

The two of them were impossible.

Another story of a lovesick wealthy suitor from the capital chasing after a beautiful woman.

Julius Reed couldn’t be bothered to get involved and leaned against the window, looking down at the bustling street below.

“Is this gentleman… your bodyguard? Or a client?”

Amias Lee turned his gaze to Julius Reed.

He had been observing from the start and noted that the young man before him didn’t seem like someone wealthy.

Moreover, the close demeanor between the two was displeasing to him.

Everyone knew that Itai Huntington never dated men.

Even he had never been afforded such treatment.

He had come all the way from the capital because he’d heard that Itai Huntington had, in full public view, actually kissed another man.

He couldn’t stand it.

“I am not a bodyguard. You two talk, I’m leaving!”

Julius Reed had no intention of meddling in Itai Huntington’s private matters, especially to avoid any misunderstandings.

So, he stood up, ready to leave.

“Stop right there!”

Amias Lee shouted sternly, and his bodyguards immediately blocked Julius Reed’s path.

“What is it? Is there a problem?”

Julius Reed looked innocently at Amias Lee.

“Miss Huntington, your subordinate lacks discipline. Let me deal with him for you,” Amias Lee said with a light huff.

“Rowley, teach him a lesson!”

“Yes!”

A man named Rowley stepped forward, grinning as he approached Julius Reed, “You don’t show any respect in front of Young Master Lee. Now, I’ll teach you!”

Just as he was about to strike, someone intervened.

“Hold on!”

Itai Huntington’s face darkened, and she looked at Amias Lee, “Young Master Lee, you come in and immediately want to hit my person, what is the meaning of this?”

“Your person?”

Hearing her say this, Amias Lee’s face grew even darker.

“Itai, I know you have prejudices against me, but please give me a chance!”

Amias Lee tried to grab Itai Huntington’s hand but was promptly dodged.

“It’s fine to talk, but don’t touch, it leads to misunderstandings,” she said, stepping back, clearly not pleased but reluctant to make a scene.

Amias Lee was from the Lee Family of the capital, a family with significant influence, albeit not as powerful as the top four families but not far behind.

There were rumors that the Lee Family intended to form a marriage alliance with the Leocadia Family. If it materialized, their status would immediately rise a notch.

“Alright then, let’s sit down and talk.”

A tremor crossed Amias Lee’s lips as he slowly took the seat that Julius Reed had just vacated.
