Chapter 89

At that moment the restaurant erupted in applause as the manager announced that the meal was now free in celebration of Kai's unexpected lottery win.

Immediately Leilani smiled nervously, trying to suppress her lingering doubts, while Sam simply rolled his eyes, muttering something about luck being overrated.

The atmosphere was lively again, with patrons offering congratulations and staff bustling about to bring out complimentary desserts.

However Kai was seated quietly, observing the room as if nothing unusual had happened, though his sharp eyes never stopped scanning his surroundings.

He noticed a figure enter the restaurant, a tall man whose demeanor seemed oddly out of place amidst the joyous celebrations.

Immediately the man clutched something in his right hand, hidden beneath his jacket, as he made his way purposefully toward their table.
