Chapter 376 - Threats?
Everyone fell silent after what happened, confused about who was the winner now.
Tim asked what the crowd thought about the game. "Who do you think wins?"
The crowd didn't respond, but everyone had the same questions. The rope was ruptured. It must be after everyone uses so much force.
"Red the criteria of the game, Tim!" Hailee told Tim.
Tim immediately read the files saved on Hailee's iPad she handed to Tim earlier, and it listed the games they will have today, including its rules.
"Alright! Please, let us keep silent. I will read the rules our boss has prepared." Tim waves the gadget in his hand. "For the tug of war, the winning team must successfully defeat the opponent team by making them touch the puddles. But for certain circumstances. The team that had a man remaining standing won."
The crowd made a lot of noises after Tim read the rules of the games.
"And the only man standing is my boss, Vincent Shen!" Tim was delighted to announce this, and he was too proud that Shen Group won.
Hailee rushed toward Vince and kissed him on the lips. Everyone smiled and clapped their hands, expressing their congratulations to Vincent.
"Boss, congratulations! Can I ask you what your secret is to win this game?"
Vincent raises a brow at Tim's question. What could it be? The only thing in his mind was winning and claiming the extra special reward Hailee had promised him.
Besides, he has to show he dominated the game.
Vincent pursed his lips. "There is no secret, but I am determined to achieve my goal, and that is to win the rewards. Also, I followed the rules, and to win, I have to bear it in my mind."
"Boss, are you saying that the entire time you take part in the game, you bear in mind, I will be the last man standing?"
"Yes. It will be a friendly game or in reality. I will prove that I can be the man to stand firm on the ground."
Tim was biased. He admits that because he is so proud of his boss. 'Eat that knight!' However, Tim couldn't dare to voice that out.
Jacob, who was very impressed, nodded in satisfaction. He is very proud of his son-in-law.
On the other side, Sheena and Jessa didn't miss every second of the game. They recorded it and took a lot of photos to post some later.
"Alright. Let's take a photo together." Hailee announced Tim quickly echoed her request.
The workers enthusiastically come forward and pose with the big bosses. The knights stood on her right side while Vince stood on her left.
As everyone cannot fit in one photo, many sat on the ground while the others comfortably laid down.
Hailee wanted to maintain a good relationship with everyone. She wanted to show that Dream City was built with beautiful friendships and good boss-employee relationships.
Today's events and photos they showed to the world will be an example that nothing is impossible to dream the same dreams.
"Alright! Say, let's make HISTORY!" said Hailee.
"LET'S MAKE HISTORY!"
An applaud echoed. Everyone didn't expect the lady boss to be with them instead of throwing grand parties for her bridal shower.
The first game has now finished. It's time to move to another game, and tug of war is just a warm-up for everyone. Now, Tim and Nancy announced the category of the next games.
The crowd enjoyed it a lot, especially when the next game was a sack race, but it had to be a couple or two players in one sack.
Pitt and James also participated. Everyone complains because the two could leap farther. In the following games, they didn't let James and Pitt join again.
Instead, Hailee asked them for money as a reward to the winners.
"The loser will bungee jump!" James suggested. The crowd agreed on one condition. He needs to participate in the game. He said confidently, "Alright! Bring it on!"
Tim announced the next game. The team must send two representatives to take part. And the game is to chug six cans of beer within three minutes.
James was too happy. It's a piece of cake.
The crowd cheered. However, someone finished six cans in just two minutes.
"What the hell!" James grunted. Stunned that someone could drink three cans of beer in just one minute. "Ah! I can't believe it!"
"Bungee! Bungee! Bungee!"
"Bungee!"
Helicopters are already waiting after a brief check on the participants' health condition. They are now aboard the choppers after they distributed the parachute for safety.
After that, they tied all the participants that lost in the game.
"No! I won't jump!" James refused after tying his foot with a safety rope. He holds at the helicopter's handle and won't let go.
All of his acts were recorded by Andre, who came to live streaming for everyone below to witness what was happening.
However, James is only playing. He actually has no fear of heights. They have been parachuting in Dubai many times, and he is waiting for something interesting.
Soon a comment pops up that excites everyone, especially James. It says,
"I'll kiss James if he jumps now!"
It sounded like a challenge to James, who is willing to accept it without a second thought. He jumped from the helicopter and happily shouted, "I'm going to get a kiss!"
Hazel was actually just joking. Now her face was reddened from embarrassment when everyone teased her.
Jake saw Hazel's comment, and his face was darkened with jealousy. Someone smacks his back and jests, "What are you going to do, bro? It looks like you have no hope of winning back my little cousin's admiration."
Jake remains silent and ignores Lloyd's question. He was trying to work on winning her heart. But Hazel is deliberately showing her liking to another man.
Now that the losing participants fulfilled the punishment, Tim announced the next game. Hailee was enjoying the day. Then she noticed when Daichi came closer to Shun and whispered something.
Soon, the Lawrence brothers followed him, including Rudolph Lao. Someone could sense something was happening.
Hailee could not remain calm. Her curiosity is killing her, and so she walks toward Jacob and Fred.
"Dad, can you oversee the event from here?"
"Yes, princess. Are you tired now?" Jacob didn't notice the worry in his daughter's eyes as Hailee was wearing dark sunglasses.
"Yes, dad. I want to take some rest." Hailee placed a kiss on her dad's cheek before she turned her attention to her father-in-law. "Dad, Vincent, and I will go back to the hotel. Please, help dad stand as the leading judge of the games."
"Sure! No problem." Fred immediately agreed. He looked at his son and reminded him, "Let Hailee take a rest well."
Fred just casually said it, but for Vincent, it has a deep meaning. His eyes actually flickered while he glanced at Hailee. Surely, he was thinking of other things while they were resting. But he should control himself now that Hailee's pregnancy is even more difficult for her.
The three babies in her belly are getting heavier each day.
"Of course, dad," Vincent replied to his dad with a solemn expression on his face. Before they left, they let his mom know.
"Mom, Hilda, I need to head to the hotel first. Can you help dad Jacob and dad Fred to oversee the ongoing festivity?"
"Sure, Hailee. Leave it to us. You should take a rest for tonight's baby shower."
"Okay, mom. Thank you." Hailee leaned over to kiss Hilda's cheek. Then she looks at Cassandra and Nikki. "You guys should take a rest."
With Hailee's suggestion, Shun agreed to it. Nikki still felt alright, and so she and Theo stayed. Actually, that was Hailee's secret signal to Shun.
She thought maybe Shun was hesitant to leave, and he didn't want everyone to notice anything once he disappeared all of a sudden in the event. Hailee is actually not sleepy. When they arrived at their hotel suite, she asked Vincent to get her some water.
She lounges on the sofa while she places her foot on the nearby stool.
Hailee picked up her phone from the table and dialed Shun's number, which was immediately answered.
"Hello, Shun? Did something happen?"
Shun took a few seconds of silence. Soon, the corner of his mouth hooked into a grin. 'She actually noticed that, huh?' Shun thought he had nothing he could hide from this princess.
"Don't worry, princess. Everything is under control." Shun explained. "Dylan just detected a non-authorized drone flying around Dream City. If you haven't heard yet, your dad requested no flying zone within one hundred miles of Dream City except for the authorized aircraft and helicopters to fly around Dream City. It includes the spy drone. Right now, Matt and others examine the spy drone we captured, and I will join them later."
Listening to Shun, Hailee couldn't hide her worries. Even if they were tight on security, the world's enemies are not a simple organization.
"Do you think it was the organization Liam joined in?" she asked Shun.
"It is possible. But I am also thinking about the World Triad, and I am more thinking that they join forces to give us trouble."
"Is it wrong that we hold a grand wedding?" She would feel depressed if everyone was harmed because they were attending her wedding and the safety wasn't enough.
Shun could picture the worry that exhibits on Hailee's face.
"Princess, stop thinking about anything. We will not allow any accidents during your wedding," Shun coax Hailee.
The Royals and country leaders generally attended Vincent and Hailee's wedding because of Jacob's standing in the world.
