Chapter 49 I Am Back

• Perched majestically atop Wolf Mountain on the outskirts of Hofcaster, Dragon Phoenix Restaurant stood as a solitary sage, its emerald railings and red brick eaves a testament to its ancient wisdom. Gazing down upon the bustling city below, where cars streamed endlessly and throngs of people ebbed and flowed, the restaurant seemed untouched by the chaos of the world.
• Legend had it that this century-old tavern was established by Carlos Donati, once hailed as the King of Hofcaster's Underworld. A place where only the most renowned could dine, Dragon Phoenix Restaurant had, over the past hundred years, become a beacon for ambitious mobsters from the underworld. Its reputation as a sacred ground was etched into the hearts of those who revered it, making it a point of pride to have once sat within its walls and partook of its hospitality. Even in contemporary times, to be seen within its confines meant one was a person of considerable influence and respect in the underworld.
• As night enveloped the city, the VIP room of Dragon Phoenix Restaurant was alive with opulence and shimmering lights.
