Chapter 481 A Bee
However, Kai shook his head. "Mr. Snyder, we don't desire anything from you. We only hope that you can take us to see your new vein mine!"
Jayden's expression darkened instantly. He looked at Kai sternly and said, "Who are you? How did you know about the new vein mine?"
Seeing Jayden's expression, Dominic explained quickly, "Mr. Snyder, we heard about it in a restaurant. Many people were discussing this."
Jayden calmed down slightly upon hearing Dominic's explanation. Suddenly, he shouted angrily, "Damn it, the news still leaked somehow!"
"Please don't worry. We don't desire anything from the new vein mine. After all, there are only the two of us. We can't compete with you or the other two families for the vein mine. I only want to look at it out of curiosity," Kai explained.
After hearing Kai, Jayden decided to be frank with them and said solemnly, "I need to warn you. It is dangerous to visit the vein mine now. There might only be one family left standing in the end. If you visit the mine with me, I don't have the power to protect you!"
"Don't worry. We can protect ourselves. All you have to do is bring us there," Kai replied.
"In that case, we shall set off tomorrow. However, you must not hold me responsible if anything happens to you. Since both of you saved my daughter, I will prepare a feast tonight to show my gratitude. You can also stay here tonight. We shall depart early tomorrow morning," Jayden said.
Kai nodded and did not refuse Jayden. Since the Snyders were familiar with Mount Hickoria, it was good to go with them. Furthermore, Kai had a hunch that the vein mine could have something to do with the spiritual stone.
After that, Kai and Dominic sat in the living room by themselves. No one bothered with them. It showed that the Snyders did not believe that they had saved Tessa. They probably thought Kai and Dominic were only passing by and grabbed the opportunity to claim rewards.
Meanwhile, Tessa changed her clothes and returned to the living room. She sat on an adjacent couch and regarded Kai carefully. "Did you save me? You don't look like a skilled fighter."
Even Tessa found it hard to believe that Kai could save her from those highly skilled abductors.
Since Tessa did not believe him, Kai found it pointless to explain. He ignored her and sipped his tea quietly.
On the other hand, Dominic looked at Tessa brightly and tried to keep the conversation going with Tessa. He seemed eager to please like a puppy.
Although the Wagner family had some authority in Summerbank, they were nothing compared to the Snyders. The fact that the Snyders owned mines was enough to subdue most of the Wagner family.
"Ms. Snyder, I heard that you have prepared a new song. When are you going to release it? When will you be having a concert in Summerbank? I will attend it with a hundred of my men! Ms. Snyder, are you taking a break at home, or are you searching for inspiration?" Dominic kept asking questions after questions.
Tessa seemed impatient as she answered some of them but ignored others.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
At this moment, a bee appeared from out of nowhere and flew around the living room.
"Ah..." Tessa screamed and turned pale. "A bee, a bee..."
One could see that Tessa was afraid of it.
Dominic saw the bee and knew that it was his chance to get on her good side. "Ms. Snyder, don't be afraid. I will protect you!"
Then, he grabbed a cushion from the couch and used it to hit the bee. However, he kept missing the bee and turned the living room into a mess.
Meanwhile, Tessa curled up fearfully at the corner of a couch with her face pale from fear. She was stung by a bee as a child and developed a phobia.
On the other hand, Kai had been sipping tea quietly throughout the commotion. Suddenly, he frowned and seemed annoyed. Then, he flicked a finger and caused the bee to drop to the floor.
Chapter 482 We Are Your Fans
"You damn bee! How dare you scare Ms. Snyder. I'll crush you..." Dominic acted immediately and stepped on the bee to kill it. Then, he threw it into a trash can.
"Ms. Snyder, don't be scared. I have killed the bee!" Dominic said proudly.
However, Tessa did not respond but looked at Kai in shock. She had seen him flick a finger and caused the bee to drop. He was not even looking at the bee.
That is incredible. I'm in no doubt that Kai is a highly-skilled fighter. He must be the one who saved me!
Tessa adjusted her clothes and scooted near Kai. "Did you say that your name is Kai Chance?"
Kai nodded but did not say anything.
"Why won't you look at me? Are you scared of me?" Tessa teased Kai when she saw that he refused to look at her.
"Scared of you? Why should I be scared?" Kai looked straight at Tessa. "It's just that I have a girlfriend."
"What a loyal man. It is hard to find a trustworthy man like you nowadays." Tessa chuckled.
She developed a sudden interest in Kai.
Before she could say anything else, a servant came to the living room and said, "Ms. Snyder, Mr. Wagner, the feast is ready."
Tessa patted Kai's shoulder. "Let's go!"
Kai followed Tessa to the dining room. The Snyder residence had one floor dedicated to the dining room and kitchen. It felt like a restaurant, and they had at least a dozen chefs working for them.
It was so lavish that Kai's mansion in Dragon Bay was nothing compared to the Snyder residence. The life of the super-rich was truly beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
The dining room had a table of six meters in diameter covered with various delectable food. There were dishes of every kind, and they smelled delicious. Only a mine owner could be capable of dining in such extravagance.
"Mr. Wagner, Mr. Chance, have a seat," Jayden said casually when he saw Kai and Dominic.
After Kai and Dominic chose their seats, Tessa came and sat beside Kai. Dominic couldn't help but feel envious of him.
Jayden frowned when he saw Tessa's choice of seating, but he did not say anything.
"Henry, is Mr. Jenson here yet?" Jayden asked.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Sir, he should be here soon," Henry answered.
Suddenly, a servant led an elderly in a white martial arts uniform into the dining room. His eyes gleamed with authority. A gang of men in black martial arts uniforms also followed behind him.
"Mr. Jenson, thank you for coming here..." Jayden rushed out of his seat to welcome him.
"Mr. Snyder..." George greeted respectfully. "Please have a seat..."
Jayden courteously invited George and his group of men to the table.
"Sweetie, why are you still sitting there? Come meet Mr. Jenson, the practitioner of Form-Intention Fist," Jayden said to Tessa.
Tessa stood up quickly and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jenson!"
George replied with a chuckle, "Haha, nice to meet you too. Ms. Snyder, I've seen you on TV before. You look even more beautiful in person. Many of my subordinates here are your fans. Later, they will ask to take a group photo with you and request your autograph."
"No problem!" Tessa responded with a smile.
"Mr. Snyder, who are these two gentlemen? I don't think I've seen them before." George pointed to Kai and Dominic.
Jayden explained quickly. "Oh, they are stone gambling tradesmen from Jazona. They bumped into my daughter today and saved her. Come, let's have dinner!"
Suddenly, a muscular man in his early thirties shouted beside George, "Who dares to harm Ms. Snyder? Do they have a death wish?"
"Ms. Snyder, this is my senior disciple, Daxton Ford. He has acquired more than seventy percent of my skills. Furthermore, he is a loyal fan of Ms. Snyder." George introduced the man.
