Since grandfather passed away, with love and respect, Leslie managed the business of the family carefully, alone. It was normal because he was always a lonely island from his parents' death. He worked hard to maintain the business that was the effort of his grandfather, and also, tried to obtain what his grandfather had wished. Though he never saw the painting, he just heard a summary from his grandfather at his last minute, but he didn't abandon, he did not mumble, and he was serious about the task.
Leslie did not have a friend or relative. Beside him was only son of a former assistant of his grandfather, Tat, whether he was in elementary, high school, or college, until he became the manager of Wong trade.
Tat knew everything about Wong, even the painting of white water lily. Because he was a trusted person of Wong, he was assigned to search for the painting. The loyal assistant was not reckless. He worked best for two years.. then one late evening, the heaven showed light, Tat knew who was owner of the painting. Without delay, he informed his boss.
"Young master, the painting that the elder master wanted is found."
Leslie jumped from seat, a big smiling face, "Where is it now?"
"It is with the owner of Charisma art gallery," Tat said.
"Go to get it."
"Well..." Tat made his face low, then raised up and said, "it is not easy."
"Why?" Leslie narrowed eyebrows. "Tell them to say the price. I can give."
"It's not about the money."
"Then what is it about?"
"Owner of the gallery is Bai Ji Dan. His family is rich, and he is rich too. He is an art lover. Painting that is already in his hand will never be given away even if the proposed price is high."
"Oh, really?" Leslie chuckled. "I don't believe there is a person who agrees to be enemies with money. Where is he?"
"Now, he should be in his own club in Tsim Sha Tsui."
Leslie held a smirk on his face, "Take me there. I want to meet him in person." Then he walked off his table at same time Tat expressed, "Yes."
Master and staff left the great inn towards a luxurious car, and Tat called off the driver for himself to take control steering wheel while the Wong fellow sat in backseat.
Not long after, the expensive transportation of young Wong reached a building under name 'For Rainbow Only'.
Leslie stepped out of the car through the opening door that Tat was holding, while his eyes watched the name plate of the new business partner that he was going to meet.
"Young master, we should come next time after we make an appointment. That guy is..."
Young patron did not allow his assistant to finish his word. He walked in through an electric door that automatically slid when he arrived closely. He was curious about the person that said he did not want money; he wanted to see with his own eyes, and in his mind, he wished to break that person to kneel down and receive cash with two hands and kiss it before him.35Please respect copyright.PENANA7CNjIwam3A
Knowing that the wealthy man was stubborn, Tat did not say anymore. He walked behind into the fancy big space.
Inside the hall, Leslie did not find any guests, but there were numerous of male and female workers.
'What's kind of a business place?'
While Leslie was eyeing around, Tat was talking with a man in suit and manner as in-charge person of the hall.
After half a minute, the young master of the hotel and his subordinate were led to the private room of the club possessor.
Leslie did not feel strange; in his opinion, no one could deny his visit because he was high and wealthy. Only Tat felt things were not right; it seemed too easy that they were allowed to meet even though they did not call before.
According to information he got from agency, that he had hired to search for the painting, owner of this club, Bai Ji Dan, was not easy going; he did not accept meeting easily, and he hated when someone visited him informally; all his guests had to make appointment through his secretary at least one month before. He never broke this rule. But this time, the strict guy tore his principle for his young master, it made the right-hand-man feel unrest.

Electric box's door was opened.35Please respect copyright.PENANAa07psvxuAT
On a soft long red rug covering the floor, Leslie followed the respectful manner of the club manager straight along the corridor until his eyes caught a room with number plate 535. Before, there was a tall guy about his height, with a tense face, standing like a palace guard. Leslie saw the tense-man glanced at him; when he arrived closely, that guy opened the door behind for him and Tat to get in - and he came in also.
No need to describe the room where they were staying - it was very well designed, with high standard and modern equipment and materials.
In the middle of the room, there was a male, sitting cross legged on a fur sofa, no table, in right hand holding a glass of red wine.
"He is my master Bai Ji Dan," said the tense face man.
Tat showed respect. After, he made an introduction about his master to the homeowner, "Mr. Bai, this is my young master, from Wong."
"Leslie Wong, correct?" Bai Ji Dan said. He eyed the visitors that were standing in his room. His peepers, especially, were on the front guy who was young and handsome and pretty as well.
"Right, it's me," Leslie spoke with a full voice of high profile as born rich. He looked straight into the eyes of the sitting man. He talked without guilt, "Let's cut to business. I heard you have a painting of a white water lily. I want to buy it."
Bai Ji Dan smiled the edge of his lips up. He threw his peepers to meet the eyes of the well-off chap with mouth clarified, "I don't sell."
"I can see you are trying to boost the price," Leslie said. "Don't waste my time. Say it. I can give."
Disrespectful words from the junior along with his boastful attitude created sparkling in pupils of the elder bro. Though, he stayed calmly.
"Say it," Leslie said.
Bai Ji Dan grinned his cheeks up, "I don't sell."
"I say once again," Leslie emphasized his words. "Call your price."
Bai Ji Dan made a face low. He giggled, then rose his face and raised the wine glass to lips.
Leslie bit teeth when looking at the manner of the man sitting on the sofa. In his chest was getting a heat and it was becoming stronger; the young manager was trying to calm down to wait for an answer.
After making the glass empty, Bai Ji Dan spoke to the rude buyer, "I don't sell it." He paused, and eyed the young man. Till he saw Leslie knotting eyebrows, he showed a big smile and continued, "But if you can knock me down, then I'll give you."
"Just this?" Leslie cocked his head.
"Young master..." Tat came in on purpose to tell his boss to not agree to this bet, but the patron was a strong head; he did not want ideas from anyone. He was full of confidence that he could get victory because he got black belt in karate.
"Okay," Leslie said.
Hearing it, Bai Ji Dan held a big smile.
Manager of the hotel slid the jacket off his arms and gave it to his assistant, then he removed his shirt's cuffs button.
Aside from that, Tat hung the cover of master on his arm. His mind was not at peace when he saw his boss preparing for a fight with the owner of the club. He knew that Leslie held a high level of martial art, but his combatant was not weak. Tat knew that Bai Ji Dan got black belts of Karate, Taekwondo, and Judo. He wanted to inform Leslie but that young man showed that he would never listen to him; therefore, he had to stay silent with worry kept inside.
After freeing wrists, Leslie stated, "Where? In here?"
"Um," Bai Ji Dan said, then handed the wine glass, "Shan."
Tensed-face-man reached for his master and took the glass, Bai Ji Dan added, "No one is allowed to come in until I open the door."
"Yes," Shan said. He held glass in hand then dismissed his body - but he wished to pull Tat along with him.
Actually, the male assistant refused to leave his master alone, but the youthful director gave a command, "Wait for me outside."
"Yes," Tat stated, then he got out of the room worriedly with the subordinate of Bai Ji Dan.
As the two deputies quit, and the door was closed, Leslie twinkled the edge of his left lip, "Start?"
Bai Ji Dan got up from seat. He walked to stand before Leslie about two steps away, and nodded, "Um."
When word was finished, Leslie jumped in with a fist towards his combatant. Watching his action, it revealed the truth that he was very good at fighting art. His punches and kicks were fast and strong. However, Bai Ji Dan was able to manage to escape. Not only one time but every time. This made the young Wong angry. He attacked his enemy in a row, in no mercy. Bai Ji Dan did not fight back; he just got away; on his face store a beam.
Leslie was vexed, stronger and stronger. He increased his movement, he hit non-stop over Bai Ji Dan. Still, the bro kept escaping with a happy manner, and it increased bigger irritation inside the junior; the young man used all his strength. Though he worked hard, still he could not touch his foe. Juvenile fellow tried to attack faster with the hope to knock the combatant down, and this caused his energy to lose fast, and he became weak.
Situation was reversed. Bai Ji Dan became an attacker and Leslie was changed to be a receiver.
Young master of Wong tried to block, but it seemed his senior was taking over.
Bai Ji Dan used only fists, and the two paws met the body of the pretty director of the grand hotel of the city. However, he did not injure his junior.35Please respect copyright.PENANAFt7ZstG8LS
Outside, Tat was standing while Shan was on his left. His ears heard the sound from inside the room.
Tat's mind was not at rest. He wanted to go in, but the deputy of Bai Ji Dan blocked arms before him, "No enter."
Hotel master's assistant blew then rotated to be in previous position.
Inner, the battle did not stop yet. Even though there was no screen to see, still the two male deputies were able to sense that Bai Ji Dan was the winner.
They were correct.
Leslie was beaten with a sweet punch to kneel down on a rug and fall on the couch.35Please respect copyright.PENANAAcynfTqU75
"Hah..." Leslie murmured. He felt tired and his body was feeling slight pain. He did not have the strength to get up yet. He tried to get a short break to collect fighting energy, but then he noticed something strange - Bai Ji Dan groped him from behind, his arms hugged around his waists, and his hands were removing his belt...35Please respect copyright.PENANAd2C4gkGmlO
"What are you doing?" Leslie yelled. "Are you crazy? Leave me alone." He wanted to get off, but the older male pressed his weight, hardly making him stay beneath inescapable.35Please respect copyright.PENANA6VFdeLT6nO
"Tour my rainbow stairs, boy," Bai Ji Dan stated.35Please respect copyright.PENANAo2meyDDmHZ
