THE FAMILIES

HYRUM returned a day before the most awaited meeting of the seven families. He had ample time to prepare. He made sure that his own chopper was ready to fly.

It was held on one isolated island in the Visayas Region. Hyrum arrived on time. It was past seven in the evening. Three helicopters hovered around, and most were on their speedboats and yachts to prevent them from attracting other people's attention. However, the place was far enough and safe from the wandering fishermen and civilians.

Every family was showing off their private armies. Howie was not expecting Hyrum to arrive since he was not invited. Bien had no choice but to act civil since it wouldn't be good for their family's image. It would mean they were not united enough.

"What are you doing here?" Howie mumbled, seeing his son suddenly appear before him.
