Chapter 1666
The red-haired kid's face went from red to white, fists clenched like he was ready to throw down, but in the end, he backed off. He was more of a schoolyard bully than a real troublemaker, always picking on younger girls. Confronted by the fierce Patty, he didn't have the guts to stir things up.
Patty smirked victoriously as she saw the other group slump down, then she grabbed Evelyn and strutted out of the hot spring pool, heading towards the man-made hill. Her hips swayed, catching the eye of a few boys, stirring up some jealousy.
After a moment of silence, one boy spoke up, "Why didn't you shut her down back there? She's too full of herself."
The red-haired kid gritted his teeth, "If she wasn't a chick, I'd have put her in her place already. I swear, I'll show her who's boss one of these days. Let's see how cocky she is then."
Another boy, with a smirk, chimed in, "Those girls are hot, especially the one with the big rack. When she stood up earlier, they bounced so much, I couldn't focus. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on them. We should come up with a plan to get with her."
The group got hyped, tossing around ideas like gang-raping her in the nearby woods. Being just middle schoolers, they didn't think much of the consequences, thinking murder was worse than a little rape. Some suggested spiking her drink, while others talked about a threesome.
"Cut the crap," the red-haired kid snapped, "You think you're tough? Did you hear how tough that lady sounded? She might have some underworld connections. Who knows what could go down if we mess with her. She could make a call and have a bunch of goons on our tails."
The boys were stunned. They were all talk and no action. After a pause, one of them said, "Ain't the Harmony County mafia history now? Jasper's long gone."
"Quit yapping, Jasper's out, but someone else took over."
Red-haired kid seemed to have some insider info. After the cops cracked down on the north and south gangs, the underground scene in Harmony County went through a shake-up. A bunch of factions fought for control, leading to the rise of the four major gangs in the east, south, west, and north.
However, they had learned from the mistakes of the previous gangs and had divided up the territories, aiming to settle disputes peacefully to avoid attracting police attention. The mafia in Harmony County wasn't as powerful as it used to be. No one dared to openly demand protection money, fearing they'd be the next target of law enforcement.
"Do you think that lady is dating one of the big mafia bosses?" a boy paled, trembling, "What if we get on her bad side? I don't want any trouble."
"You're such a wimp," the red-haired kid's expression darkened, "If she's got a problem, it's on me, not you. My older brother is with the eastern mafia. I'll check with him."
The other boys lost interest in the hot spring and followed the red-haired kid out.
On the man-made hill, Evelyn sighed, "Patty, you acted too rashly back there. Why bother with those kids? They're clueless. What if they actually bring troublemakers here?"
"Evelyn, relax," Patty reassured with a smirk, "This is a fancy hot spring resort. Who'd risk causing a scene here? Natalie isn't someone to mess with. She's got connections to officials and the County Executive. Stir trouble today, end up behind bars tomorrow."
"You shouldn't have brought up that stuff about assault," Evelyn scolded, "The way you were acting, someone might mistake you for a thug."
"Hehe, I'm a tough chick, so what?" Patty chuckled and playfully reached for Evelyn's chest.
"Are you out of your mind?" Evelyn yelped, swiftly pushing Patty's hand away. Her face flushed, "We're not kids anymore. Acting like that is embarrassing."
"What's the big deal? We don't know anyone here," Patty spread her arms again, grinning mischievously, "Come on, let me give you a hug."
Taken aback, Evelyn went pale and tried to run, but she collided with someone, their bodies pressing together. Her chest bumped against the person's torso, causing her to lose balance and almost fall.
The person caught Evelyn, saying loudly, "Are you alright, miss? It's not safe to run around on the hill like that."
"I'm fine, thank you. Oh, I'm sorry, I was just fooling around with my friend," Evelyn said, noticing a handsome man in his thirties in a security uniform. Her face reddened slightly, feeling a flutter where he held her waist.
"No problem, welcome to Egret Hot Springs Hotel. I'm Blake, the head of security, at your service," Blake released Evelyn, flashed a slight smile, saluted, and then descended the hill.
It turned out that Celestial Haven needed to hire waitstaff, cleaners, and security personnel for its grand opening. Blake, who had previously worked as a plumber in Westbrook Village with a modest income, applied for a position at the hotel and coincidentally crossed paths with Natalie.
Natalie recognized Blake as Kevin's uncle and promptly appointed him as the head of the hotel's security team. The other security guards weren't thrilled about it, but Blake showcased his combat skills learned in the military by breaking two bricks with his head, leaving everyone impressed and solidifying his position as a key leader in the hotel.
Patty strolled over, eyeing Blake's tall, sturdy frame, and playfully remarked to Evelyn, "Evelyn, you lucked out. He's quite a catch. Want me to snag his number for you?"
"It's all because of your antics," Evelyn shot back, blushing, "He's way older. I think you two would make a better pair."
"Fine, I'll go get his number later. Don't say I didn't offer," Patty said with a mischievous grin.
"Go ahead, no regrets here," Evelyn shook her head in amusement and headed towards a hot spring pool halfway up the mountain. The pool's water was tinted with rose petals, and a nearby sign mentioned it contained milk for beauty and skincare benefits.
"Look at how this hot spring pampers the ladies. Natalie's going to rake in the cash here," Patty remarked as she stepped into the milk bath, raising a slender leg. She watched the milky liquid cascade down her leg, enhancing its allure. "Evelyn, doesn't Kevin know Natalie? Ask him to set up a dinner with her and seek some advice. It's better than diving into a business blindly like we are."
"I think we should hold off for now," Evelyn hesitated, "She's swamped. What would we even discuss? Let's brainstorm on our own first."
"You're so wishy-washy. You won't get anywhere like this," Patty stated bluntly, "If this doesn't pan out, we'll try something else. In my book, let's just dive in and figure it out as we go."
"Let me mull it over."
The two sisters couldn't see eye to eye, while at the base of the mountain, Albert was ascending with Cynthia. His gaze was fixed on Cynthia's swimsuit-clad, shapely, and perky buttocks.
Earlier, Kevin had mentioned heading to the swimming pool, but Cynthia preferred the artificial hill. Albert didn't want to miss the chance to get closer to Cynthia, so he tagged along as she climbed the hill.
"This fake hill may not seem tall, but it's a real challenge to climb," Cynthia remarked, standing on a step, breathing heavily, sweat glistening on her forehead. Her ample bosom rose and fell with each breath, her curvy hips swayed, and her shapely legs looked especially alluring in the sunlight.
"I'm beat," Albert panted behind Cynthia, sweating profusely, breathing heavily like a bull. Despite his regular basketball games, his endurance couldn't match Kevin's. Last semester, he nearly keeled over while playing basketball with Grace.
But gazing at Cynthia's close, round buttocks, he suddenly felt a surge of energy. Those buttocks were so enticing, full and round, and he could even catch a glimpse of the soft and inviting mons pubis in the crease, looking irresistibly touchable.
Cynthia turned her head and caught Albert's eyes fixed on her rear. Her swimsuit was stretched taut, and she couldn't help but chuckle, teasingly asking, "Albert, got a favorite view back there?"
"Sorry, Cynthia," Albert quickly apologized, noticing Cynthia's playful demeanor. Unable to resist, he added, "It's just that you've got an amazing figure. You don't look a day over the girls in our class, let alone your forties."
Speechless, Cynthia patted Albert on the head and said in a gentle tone, "Albert, don't lay it on too thick. Do I really look that young?"
Albert was thrilled by Cynthia's sweet voice.
Rubbing her thighs, Cynthia felt a twinge of soreness, likely from the brisk walk earlier.
Albert hungrily eyed Cynthia's smooth, shapely legs, swallowing hard. His arousal strained against his swim trunks, ready to burst through the fabric. His desire intensified, envisioning various intimate moments with Cynthia. Seeing her still rubbing her legs, he had a sudden idea and tentatively suggested, "Cynthia, are your legs sore? Let me give you a massage."
"No need," Cynthia smiled softly. She sensed Albert's intentions but wasn't inherently provocative. Her entanglement with Kevin was incidental, and she went along with it. Besides, Albert lacked the charisma that made women weak in the knees like Kevin did.
As she took a few steps, she accidentally stepped on some moss, twisted her foot, and began to fall backward. Albert swiftly moved forward to catch Cynthia, feeling the warmth and softness of her body in his arms. Finally holding Cynthia thrilled him to the core.
