On June 13, 2033, Nicole's private jet arrived at Sacramento International Airport.
Wang Yi and his family stepped off the plane. Danny, Little Danny, Tures, and Bond were there to greet them.
As Wang Yi looked at the four men, a trace of emotion surfaced in his eyes. They were all brothers who had fought alongside him for years.
But then he tilted his head and looked behind them. There was no one else. "Where's Mane?"
In Wang Yi's last two years with the Kings, Mane had been a lot like the little sycophant Mitchell, seizing every opportunity to shower him with flattery.
Now that all four of them had come, how could Mane be missing?
Little Danny said, "He's arranging a welcome dinner for you and your sister-in-law, Brother Yi."
"No wonder."
The four men then ushered Wang Yi's family into the cars.
The eight of them set off in two cars, heading straight for Chinatown.
They had arranged to meet at a Chinese restaurant there.
They chatted as they ate.
It reminded everyone of how Wang Yi used to invite them to Chinatown for meals when he lived in Sacramento.
They ate and talked for two hours.
Afterward, Mane drove Wang Yi's family back to their house.
Though they had moved to Toronto, their rooms here sat empty most of the time.
Even so, someone still came every ten days to clean the place from top to bottom.
Recently, while Wang Yi and the Kings were playing in the Finals, three of his games had been held here, so the housekeeper had been coming more often.
When the family arrived at 19 Riverside Avenue, everything in the house was spotless and tidy.
By the time they had seen Mane off, the moon had just risen.
