Chapter 204 - Plan To Trap Him (Three)
L.V. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Tim drove the car toward the hangar where hidden the Shen and Shang private plane inside. They saw a bunch of men guarding outside. They are the well-trained bodyguards from He-Li Academy, owned by Theo's stepmother. His family arrived earlier along with his parents, the reason there are so many Shang men tonight.
Until they haven't apprehended the mastermind of the bombing, the Shang would not care less and wander around cautiously.
"Hey, Vincent!" Matt called out, waving at him.
Vincent stepped out of the car, then strode toward Matt, who talked to a group of men in the hangar's corner. It seems like important matters they've discussed at the moment.
"Vincent, meet my Senior Officer Carlos Rodriguez from the Interpol Special Investigations Unit. He will accompany us to arrest Liam Huo."
"Good evening, Officer Rodriguez. A pleasure to meet you." Vincent stretched his arm to shake Carlos's hand.
"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Shen. In my hand is Liam Huo's warrant of arrest. So you can assure that he will no longer threaten you and, most especially, Miss Davies."
"I'm glad to hear that. It surprised me that Interpol immediately took action against him when he was a future king," he commented, which was true. He's happy that International Law is taking action regarding Liam Huo's threat to him and Hailee and the Shangs.
Carlos stated, "Liam Huo was on the list of International Illegal Organization as financier to the group. He didn't take part in any activities, but he is supporting them through funds. Liam Huo wants to have powerful allies who are giving a lot of headaches to Interpol and the Emperor. We were in pursuit of the other members three years ago along with Lawrence's brothers, Theo, and the Emperor's right hand."
"The group looks persistent, as you needed a full force to apprehend a member of the organization. Like Liam Huo, huh?" They were planning very well to trap him. And he hopes that Liam Huo will be in prison for his entire life. And soon answered his prayer.
"Yes. He will be in prison for his entire life. With all the evidence and crimes he commits, we will send him to South Prison Island."
"South Prison Island, huh? I'd be glad if that would happen."
That prison has a heavy security system and is guarded severely because all the prisoners are the most notorious criminals in the world. Being sent there means he cannot get an appeal nor a pardon.
"He harms celebrities and known people in the business world. They will sue him soon, and he will face multiple cases. Added to that, his attempts to kill you and several killings in the past will include the trial," Carlos added.
"That's great then." Hearing all of this, he is satisfied. Now, all that matters is to trap Liam successfully, thought Vincent. He will do all means for Liam Huo to fall into his very own hands.
"By the way, Vincent. I forgot to introduce you to Brent Morris. He is the new Lord in the North and South-Eastern U States Mafia Association."
Vincent shook hands with Brent, a guy who has blond hair and blue eyes. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Morris."
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Shen. Well, we aren't that strangers to each other." Brent gives him a friendly smile.
"You are Carl's friend, right?" He remembers the guy back then.
Brent replied, "I am his junior when he was a Lord before. I was under his wing until he left the association."
"I see… Good to know. Carl is working with my other cousins and my fiancees' men to trap Liam Huo. They were preparing everything by now." said Vince.
"That is great to hear. Carl asked for help, and so I asked the Emperor's permission," Brent told Vincent. "So, you are the mystery fiance of the princess, Hailee Davies."
Vincent has rendered speechless. He already knew that the woman he loves is not just the ordinary girl he met years ago. On the contrary, she is precious in this world, so he should not get jealous if many men knew her very well.
"Hey, Vincent!" Theo is walking toward them. He carries a beautiful little girl in one arm and then a little boy holding his fingers, hiding behind him.
"Hey, Theo! Are these your twins?" Vincent was elated to ask this question because he has been dreaming of having children of his own soon, and it was apparent as how he can't hide feeling thrilled.
"Yes! Meet Violet and Seth. Kids say hi to Uncle Vincent." Theo introduced them to each other. However, it was only Violet who greeted him cheerily.
"Hello, Uncle Vincent!"
"Hi, Violet! I'm happy to meet you at last!" Then Vincent lowered his gaze. "And Seth! Hello, little guy!" Vincent picks up Seth and carries him. He commented, "You're heavy!"
Seth seemed shy. He only blushed instead of answering Vincent's question. Theo chuckled and explained, "He got my genes, of course! That's no doubt. Haha! I speak little, I tell you. But I'm a rebel to my parents."
"Hope Seth wouldn't. But I am certain he'll be a loyal lover in the future like his dad." Vincent sounded like teasing Theo, which the twins didn't understand what they were talking about.
"Are you telling me now for my son to court your future daughter?" Theo had a grin on his face. "My father-in-law has the craze about pairing me to his future daughter, and it happened in the end. But, take note, my father has no girlfriend yet, so be careful of what your mouth says."
"Ah, right! In the end, it was our kids' decision who they will marry in the future," said Vincent with confidence as an experienced adult. Then he said in a low voice. "Look at me now? My life is in a mess because of this arranged marriage thing. It's a new century."
"Yeah. You are right." Theo cannot agree more. He once arranged to meet someone, and he deliberately rejected it. Then, gladly, because of his life project, he meets the mother of his children.
"You know what… I did not fully believe in destiny or fate. But when I met you and heard your story, it overwhelmed me every time I remembered it."
"Even I still couldn't believe it. But every time I look at this twin, especially Violet. I know I am not dreaming." Theo said it with proudness as his eyes gleaming from joy. It also shows how he was in love with his wife, the mother of his children.
"Now that you've mentioned it. You name your daughter after your life project." Vincent brought it up. Theo plastered an enormous smile on his face now that Vincent mentioned it.
"Yes. If it wasn't for this project, I don't know if I would have a Violet now." Theo stared at his daughter with a loving gaze.
Violet is the symbol of his love for his wife, as violet color means to LOVE.
Theo and Vincent continued chatting when Seth spoke. He is complaining. "Papa, why is Violet only the one that is often mentioned. Also, Violet's name was on the billboards wherever we went. She even has her name on a lot of bottles!"
Theo and Vincent shared a glance. At this moment, Theo doesn't know how to explain it to his son. It was true that there is a special meaning to why he chose Violet to name his Life Project in the past. That until now, they continue putting up this name everywhere as a commercial of their top product.
Just recently, they released a new wine under Violet's brand name. This time, it has no alcohol in it, but as a sparkling grape juice—so then, typically, Violet Sparkling Wine's commercial is seen everywhere.
"So, how are you going to explain that?" Vincent asked Theo with a grin.
Theo chuckled, rubbing his temple as he was trying to look for an answer. "Well, I didn't know I would have twins. And it looks like I have to start a new project to name it after Seth."
"Oh. That's it!" Vincent's eyes gleamed upon exclaiming excitedly as an idea came up to his head.
"Hm? What is it?" Theo asked and was curious to know what made Vincent excited all of a sudden.
"I was racking my head about what I should name the tower I am building for Hailey. Now I have an idea. I would propose it to Hailey if she agreed. Then, we will name the tower for our firstborn!"
"Oh, that was nice! You've mentioned it will be the tallest building in the world. It should sound mighty."
"Yeah. You inspired me again," said Vincent with a smile.
"Ah. What a pleasure of mine, then. But consider preparing a combined name. Might you get a twin in the end?" Theo's advice, as he is patting his shoulder.
"You are right. Vincent shared it with honesty. He is working harder to get Hailey pregnant soon. Not only to have an heir, but it is his best weapon that her dad won't reject him. Besides, Hailey and I are just working to have our first child."
Theo shook his head upon listening to him, and as a friend, he would like to cheer him. "Good luck, man! You should work harder!"
Listening to the sideline, Tim and Roland were grinning. It was fresh in their ears that their bosses speak so much about their love life.
That night, Vincent prepared to leave the airport, the same as Theo and his family. First, Vincent makes a quick talk with Theo's wife. He learned they were actually good friends, as Hailey often visited Mainland City and stayed at Shun Crow's mansion, where Theo's mansion was nearby.
"Hailey and I will visit you soon after everything is over. I want to talk to his cousin after I spoke to her dad."
"Well then, ring me right away. And good luck!" said Theo.
"Thank you."
The Shang family is the first to take off. They were visiting Theo's parent's mansion in Hawaii, where his father spent his retirement.
Meanwhile, Vincent and Matt arranged for another plane. They have to make believe that he was still in Las Vegas. He had a feeling that Liam Huo still has his men following him around. And that night, taking a chartered plane, Vincent left Las Vegas, Matt, Carlos, and Brent with the Mafia and Interpol agents.
