Connecticut, Orange Villa.
By now, the sun had fully risen, and the gentle breeze made the fallen trees seem to come alive again.
The Villa, which had been silent all night, was now bustling with people.
Large numbers of local Connecticut Police and ambulances were fully cordoning off the scene, while rapidly moving bodies onto the ambulances.
However, Luca, the Master of the Villa, was calmly sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching these busy people.
Just then, Ms. Simpson, the lawyer who had been negotiating with the Police, perhaps having reached an agreement, immediately left the helpless Police Chief and walked directly towards Luca with her assistant, Fugie.
"Mr. Orange, you really gave me a surprise attack this time."
Seeing the bitter expression on her face, Luca merely smiled faintly, not taking it to heart at all.
Although Ms. Simpson was indeed called out of her home in the middle of the night to deal with such a tricky matter, Luca had paid her well, so he certainly wouldn't feel guilty just because she complained a bit.
'Hmm, don't even think about more money!'
Ms. Simpson was also sensible; seeing that Luca didn't respond, she immediately changed her expression, showing her professional attitude.
"Mr. Orange, thanks to the surveillance cameras installed in your Villa this time, the Police have initially classified it as self-defense and will only investigate the part concerning the intruders."
"It's just..."
"Just what?" Luca asked indifferently, tapping his finger lightly on the armrest of the sofa.
"It's just that due to too much missing surveillance footage, it can only be confirmed that you and your bodyguard effectively counterattacked when the Villa was invaded, but there isn't enough evidence regarding the subsequent kidnapping," Ms. Simpson continued to explain.
"Furthermore, since the kidnapping location you mentioned in your statement was in New York, Manhattan, this part may require cooperation between the local Connecticut Police and the New York Police to verify the truthfulness of your words."
Luca merely shrugged at her words.
"There's only this much surveillance footage. As for the New York Police, once they find that warehouse, the truth will naturally come to light."
"As for the remaining work, isn't that precisely why I hired a great lawyer like you?"
Hearing Luca say this, Ms. Simpson's face showed a professional smile.
"That's natural. In fact, several residents near your Villa are also old clients of mine. The entire community committee is very concerned about this attack by these thugs. They will jointly pressure the Connecticut Police Department and continue to pay attention to this matter."
"Afterward, I will contact some old friends in the media and prepare a press release based on the Connecticut Police Department's statement. I believe that even the New York Police will not want to further expand the impact of this matter."
She took a document covered in sticky notes from Fugie's hand and handed it to Luca.
"But before that, both the media and the community committee need Mr. Orange to sign this authorization form first."
Luca quickly scanned the contents of the authorization form, then pulled out his pen and smoothly signed his name on the paper, smiling as he handed it back to Ms. Simpson.
"As expected of a professional, you always handle these things flawlessly."
Ms. Simpson took the document and said softly, looking at the Police cars gradually leaving outside the house.
"Your safety is our greatest reward."
However, just then, perhaps feeling that the formal work between Ms. Simpson and Luca was complete, Fugie, who had been silent beside them, looked at Luca with a complex expression and asked,
"Mr. Orange, was the disturbance in Hells Kitchen last night really unrelated to you?"
However, no sooner had he asked this question than Ms. Simpson sternly interrupted him before Luca could even say anything.
"Shut up! Nelson! Are you making baseless accusations against an important client of the law firm?!"
After speaking, Ms. Simpson ignored Fugie's expression and immediately put on a slightly apologetic smile, turning to Luca.
"I apologize, Mr. Orange. As you know, these young intern lawyers always have some unrealistic associations."
Luca merely shrugged, indicating he didn't mind, then looked innocently at the embarrassed Fugie.
"It's nothing, but since I was kidnapped last night, I haven't had time to pay attention to the news. Mr. Fugie, what do you mean by the Hells Kitchen disturbance?"
This time, without waiting for Fugie to explain, Ms. Simpson proactively spoke.
"It's just some insignificant rumors. But you see, it's getting late. We still need to return to the law firm to handle this case..."
"Alright, then I'll trouble Ms. Simpson," Luca said with an indifferent smile.
Seeing this, Ms. Simpson continued with a slight, apologetic bow.
"Then we'll take our leave."
"Oh, and if Mr. Orange needs a temporary residence, I think several of my friends on the community committee would be happy to temporarily rent their homes to you."
Luca smiled slightly at her words. He knew she was making up for Fugie's rashness just now.
However, Luca actually didn't care much about these things and just smiled as he saw the two of them leave the Villa.
After watching them leave the Villa, he shook his head helplessly.
'It seems that the share transfer agreement cannot be handled by Rand Law Firm.'
While thinking about these things, Luca casually picked up the tablet beside him and began to read today's morning news.
The tablet clearly displayed—
[Explosion! New York's largest underground gang collapses, and the culprit behind Hells Kitchen's endless chaos is him!]
Looking at the photo of Kingpin, the emperor who once hid in the Shadow, prominently displayed on the news homepage, Luca's mouth twitched subconsciously.
'These real news people are truly amazing...'
On the other side, Samira, who had just put down the phone, trotted to Luca's side, leaned over, and whispered,
"Young Master, Shield Mountain and the others have settled down."
Luca's expression didn't change at her words; he just nodded gently.
"Let them rest for two days first."
Considering the somewhat abrupt reason for the Dao A Squad's existence, Luca's script for tonight did not include them.
So, before arriving at the Villa, he simply got out of the car early with Samira and returned to the Villa alone to deal with the Police.
Now that they had settled down and the biggest threat, Kingpin, was gone, Luca simply didn't plan to call them back immediately.
"After the fuss dies down in two days, I'll bring them along when I pick up Mother."
Seeing that Luca had made a decision, Samira was about to withdraw and call Shield Mountain and the others again.
But Luca immediately called out to her again.
"Oh, Aunt Samira, help me prepare some more things."
